The T-ara Dilemma

Posted by zdorama @ zdoramaagain.blogspot.com
I’ve been watching the Mainichi T-ara (Everyday T-ara)  clips on the T-ara site following the girls (minus Hyomin, where IS she???)  as they make their way across Japan promoting their new single “Bunny Style”. In the clips I've heard the song numerous times and seen them perform it on various stages and conventions, and Hmmm…I dunno.
  From what I've seen, “Bunny Style” feels like a fairly “dialed in” song, if you ask me, and the dance moves seem pretty basic too. Somehow I was expecting something a bit more...fierce? With the name "Bunny Style", I was hoping it would be a tune in the vein of "Bo Peep Bo Peep", LOL
 Anyway, as you may recall, when the single was first announced, it said it would have a staggering 10 versions, and at the time I mused about getting not only the Deluxe Edition, but the editions with the covers of Hyomin and possibly Eunjung, too. But after actually hearing/seeing the song, I decided ONE copy would suffice, and only ordered the Deluxe Version with the bonus song by Hyomin/Eunjung/Jiyeon.
I was content for awhile there, but THEN, they SUDDENLY released the COVERS for the variant singles, and HOLY CRAP, They. Look. So. Freakin’. NICE!!! ARGHHH! Looking at the individual member covers, I am now ONCE AGAIN debating if I should get the Hyomin and Eunjung solos too. Well, the single doesn’t come out til Mid-March, so I’ve got time to decide…
I’ll tell you ONE thing I AM happy about, when I saw the three variant covers for the deluxe editions, the cover to Edition “C” had the girls draped in these gypsy/scarf looking bluish-purple dresses and I thought they looked so damn pretty, and I instantly hoped, “PLEASE let THIS cover be the one I ordered with the Eunjung/Hyomin/Jiyeon subunit!!!”
 Crossing my fingers I looked and….AWWWYEAHHHHH!!!! It IS the version I ordered! So I’m STOKED about that. Aw, even though I’m underwhelmed by “Bunny Style” itself, hopefully the Eunjung/Jiyeon/Hyomin song on the single will be more what I expected!  
Edit: OK, now that I've gotten a chance to check out the entire Bunny Style PV, (where they’re WEARNG those sexy multi-colored scarf-looking dresses from the “C” Edition!!) the Song and Dance Moves look and sound LOT better than what I'd been able to make out from the Mainichi T-ara show, so who knows, I may end up REALLY LOVING the song after ALL! LOLOL
