GD&TOP Baby Goodnight – Kpop Music Mondays

Filed as: Kpop // Responses: 121

Oh boy. Another GD&TOP video! Hooray! And we picked the romantic-esque one, just in time for Valentine’s Day! Great success!

Seriously, we did not plan on doing three GD&TOP videos. We knew we had to do High High when it first came out because it seemed to fresh. “Knock Out” we delayed doing until the requests became overwhelming. We liked that song, yeah, but didn’t want to seem overly biased. This week, though, we got something close to 2000 requests for Baby Goodnight. The others added up to barely 1500. Bah!

Anyhow, somebody please, please tell us what TOP put in that girl’s drink. We slowed it down, tried looking at it frame by frame, but it’s indiscernable. We were joking when we hinted at it being a roofie, but we can’t figure out what it’s supposed to be. A pearl? Olive? Anyone? We don’t put stuff in our champagne when we drink it. We…just…drink it. Otherwise, we gotta say that this is an awesome video. Awesome. You don’t really see well shot or well thought out videos lately, but this one’s really artsy for a Kpop Video. Seriously. We mentioned Top wiping the bottle dissolving into the girl wiping her leg. There’s also the scene where GD is pulling his jacket up onto his sleeping girlfriend, but right before that it looks like her leg, and it looks like her skirt is being pulled down. Instead, it’s the jacket being pulled up. First you’re thinking it’s raunchy, but then you realize it’s gentlemanly and caring. That’s really awesome for a Kpop video. Really. Bravo to whoever directed that video.

Sadly, though, this isn’t really our kind of song. R&B songs are so…90′s. We didn’t mind MBLAQ’s “Cry,” though. That was an R&B-ish song that really impressed us. We wish that GD&TOP would have done a video for “OH YEAH” instead, because that song’s awesome. In fact, it’s probably our favorite song from the entire album, and there’s no video for it! I think that’s what’s really impressive about the album: usually, the songs we review are great, but they’re the best songs on the album, where the rest of the songs are just ok. GD&TOP’s album is the first kpop album we reviewed that we predominantly like all of the songs for. Anyhow, we recommend the album highly.

As always, JB and Annie from [닉쑤] Enjoy Your Happy Life~* are awesome for always translating our videos into Korean. And to everyone of you reading this now, Happy Valentine’s Day! In Korea, Valentine’s Day is a bit different, so make sure you check out our Korean Valentine’s Day video from a while ago if you want to know what we’re doing today :D

    I think u guys should do bigbang tonight next ~<3~

  • Nanasse Yuya Kajian

    I love bigbang and I am crazy about TOP but GD&TOP never inspired me…

    About the French, it definitely does not deserve more than 1 !!! Ok, it was French, but it was no sense!
    Your French is better than hers!
    ( Non vraiment, elle est nulle…) =='

    I hope you will do a video for their new CD, it really rocks!
    (somebody to love, cafe, tonight, hands up! > Brilliant ♥ )

    Are you sure the G stands for Genius? Cause I'm pretty sure it's not. G-Dragon's real name is Kwon Ji-Yong. The Yong means Dragon and Ji sounds like G. Thus G Dragon (Ji-Yong).

      Um, it’s a joke?

  • rochdi.hadda

    I love bigbang :o , and i love gd and top but this song is not my favorite :D

    about the french , the first time i heard that , i find it so weird ! I agree with Nanasse Yuya Kajian , the french definitely does not deserve more than 1 !!!
    I mean when the girl say “c’est bon fait moi du bien”  Totally awkward !!

    p-s: your french is actually good , better than hers =)

    Gotta disagree with rochdi.hadda and Nanasse Yuya Kajian: that girl’s prononciation is flawless. Really. Perfect. The intonation is good too, even though it’s a bit… stiff? flat? (does that make sense? sorry~, me english not be good, me french girl~) She sounds like she’s under hypnose or something. Or just like a bad actress at the school’s end-of-year play. No emotion at all. Weird stress on “toi” at the end.But I’d totally buy it if you told me French’s her mother tongue.As for the meaning and the grammar….. One sentence is a literal translation from English. The red wine part got me scratching my head (“your voice makes me deeper as your favorite red wine”…. does that make more sense in english?…?) + has wrong grammar. Aaaaaand the very first sentence, at the beginning…. “It’s good… make me feel good” + that “sexy” beat? Does it give off the same vibe in English? …… That’s deemed totally innapropriate for audience under 19 in the RoK.

      I’m sorry for making that ilegible, I did intend to make clear paragraphs, but I can’t seem to be able to edit it.

      Sorry~ >.<

    this is late, but could it be sugar cube? dropping sugar cube into a glass of chanpange increases the effervescence and sweetness of the wine.

    It’s actually an engagement ring. I heard somewhere that the ORIGINAL video for “Baby Goodnight” was supposed to be 18+ and TOP was supposed to be proposing to the girlfriend in the video.

    • Anonymous

      Why would proposing to your girlfriend be 18+?

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=581337941 Judy Kim

        Ah. The original video was more subliminal. TOP is still proposing in the video we have now, it’s just not shown as well because they had to take a lot out
