I actually dont like the Marry U remake.. the only remake i really like is Happiness cuz its cute.
I don't like the Haengbok remix, honestly. It doesn't sound happy to me. Their voices were a lot weaker compared to Suju's original cover. The song is suppose to sound happy and blissful, but it doesn't seem quite so when I listened to the Mandarin version. Maybe it's because I've listened to the Suju version so much that only that song is in my head and no other (:
"Marry U", in my opinion, was great. First off, it's a slow song, so their singing is clear and it's not as slurred as "A Man In Love" and "Don't Don." I could understand what they were singing about. Second off, I thought their vocals in "Marry U" were just as impressive as in the Korean version. I was especially impressed with Geng's voice, but in Geng's last line, his voice sorta trailed off and it showed some of his weakness points. The rap in "Marry U" wasn't that great, really. But that's about all I can complain about.

i quite like the whole album, except The One & Me. i basically just put the whole album on repeat (w/o the 2 songs) and kept listening to it.
"Me" and "The One" weren't that catchy when I first heard, but after listening to it several more times, I've grown to love it. "Me" gives off a typical Chinese boy band vibe (a song that I know bands like Fahrenheit and Lollipop will sing, lol) and it's a happy song, cheerful, and summer-like. "The One" didn't sound so attracting at first, but now I love it. It's a grand song, and it's such a great song for the Olympics. It's like an Olympic-song lol. I wish that song had more harmonization though. It would sound even better. Great job done by Ryeowook and Kyuhyun though (:

i dont really like
marry U... coz im too in love w/ the korean version to listen to it in any other languages haha. dont like whoeever rapped the 1st part, the timing is wrong for a start, he started a split sec earlier than hes supposed to. and donghae's rapping in the middle doesnt impress me either, its sooo slurry.. or mayb its coz im listenin to the 128kps version

Henry rapped the first part.
Definitely the Korean version is better, but "Marry U" in my opinion is the better remakes out of other remakes in the album. Donghae's rap was a bit hard to catch in the song, but I think it's because he was rapping in a soft voice, and that makes his words slur more.

dont don's choruses grow on me. jst that the mixing isnt quite up to par w/ the korean version. it sounds very... condensed, while the korean is more grand and surround-sound-like. damn what am i on about? haha.
The Korean version is MUCH stronger. The chorus had all 13 voices, so it sounds more "complete". Heechul's screams, Eunhyuk&Kibum's strong rap, Yesung and Kangin's strong vocals, etc. etc. makes the original song a whole long stronger. "Don't Don" is my favorite Super Junior song, and in this album, the remake wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Personally for me, Henry and Zhoumi absolutely ruined the whole rap part of the song. Geng actually did pretty good and Donghae too. But Henry and Zhoumi weren't so good... and NO, I'm not being biased, lol.
And then Henry's "SUPERJUNIOR" at the end of the song ticked me off in so many ways that I won't name.
I just didn't like the remake, LOL. The only thing I liked about was the lyrics?
I don't know. The other songs sounds "complete" without the other eight members, but in this song, it sounds incomplete.

maybe it's just me but the first line of the chorus in zhe yi miao sounds like the first line of the chorus in don't don?
Not a surprise because it's SM's music, lol.

haha i don't like elf either.. some of them and the things that they do are just -.-
In my opinion, ELF has stayed professional about the whole issue. They didn't JUST complain like babies and didn't bomb the SM building (I know some fanclubs will actually do that LOL) Their protests were legal, they didn't allow the protests to interfere with school (the protests DID NOT occur during school hours) and they kept their situation critical. Some of their actions were a bit extreme--such as boycotting and shouting "13!" (but hey, at least they didn't shout "Henry, you don't deserve it!" did they?), but considering this is SM ENT we're dealing with, they have no other way BUT to be extreme.
ELF never bashed the two new members. In fact, from what I know, a lot of the Korean and Chinese ELF favors Henry, but it's his position as a sjm member is what they cannot accept. ELF never said Henry couldn't sing, never said he couldn't dance, never said he's not talented. They just don't want him in sjm, and I can understand that, completely.
