Fannish 50 S2 Post 47: ALL OF THE GIRLS *ARE* GIRLING GIRLING!
After months of an intense hate train, Le Sserafim returned with one of THE songs of 2024: "Crazy" (the title track of a mini-album of the same name). In many ways, this is the sequel (musically, at least) of last year's "Eve, Psyche & Bluebeard's Wife". Only this time QUEERER AND BOPPIER..
Trigger warning: lots of visual special effects including distortions, animation, etc. The camera moves around A LOT.
The fact that LSF brought members of the House of Juicy Couture and even released a Vogue Remix featuring Deshawn Wesley (a v., v. important figure in ballroom culture) was amazing. This embrace of and respect for the ballroom scene (specifically with how it NEEDS to be centered around Black and brown QUEER AF cultures) was rightfully lauded by many. The song (with its EDM-house beat) is one of the best kind of earworms ever.
I'm forever grateful that BookishTheories deconstructs the themes in the MV and makes us appreciate it even more.
Here are two versions of the dance practice:
Moving
Fixed
BTW, it won't embed properly BUT I must point out that, one of the first things Jin did after returning to civilian life was be among the first wave of idols doing the "Crazy" dance challenge with LSF!. Which is AWESOMECAKES to begin with. Even AWESOMER is the fact that Jin rarely (if ever) does dance challenges, so this is BIG. FUCKING. DEAL.
Trigger warnings: General K-pop show camerawork that includes tilting, zooming in/zooming out, etc. Stage pyrotechnics. Lots of flashing lights. Also, the crowd is doing the fanchant v. loudly.
Once again, here's Gravity Jacobs (of the House of Marc Jacobs) giving some commentary abt the MV. Good stuff!
