Gangnam style heir is here


Owner of YouTube's most watched video, Psy, has returned hoping to repeat the success of his last single. Last year everybody did the Gangnam dance. Is this the year of Gentleman dance? So, the new track is called Gentleman. The song again has infectious dance beat that will easily get stuck in your head and lyrics that are almost completely in Korean. Is it as infectious and crazy as Gangnam? Not really. But then again it took Gangnam some time to become the massive hit it is now. The video for the song was released a day ago and it already has almost 14 million views. The concept of the video is as crazy as Gangnam, if not crazier. In this video Psy is playing pranks on different girls until he finds a girl who will also play pranks on him. Unlike the previous video, there is no crazy horse dancing, or any kind of spectacular dance moves. Just hip swaying. Lots of it. Is this all enough to make Gentleman a huge worldwide hit? It is still too early to tell. But I do think it has a good chance.

Vlasnik najgledanijeg video klipa na YouTube-u, Psy, se vratio nadajuci se da ce ponoviti uspeh svog poslednjeg singla. Prosle godine svi su igrali Gangnam ples. Da li je ovo godina Gentleman plesa? Dakle, kao sto rekoh, nova pesma se zove Gentleman. Pesma ponovo ima zarazan dens ritam koji ce vam lako uci u glavu i tekst je ponovo skoro u potpunosti na Korejskom. Ali da li je pesma dovoljno zarazna kao Gangnam? Ne bih rekao. Medjutim, i Gangnam-u je bilo potrebno vreme da postane hit kakav je bio. Spot za pesmu je izasao pre manje od 24 sata, a vec ima 14 miliona pregleda. Koncept videa je mozda i ludji od videa za Gangnam. U ovom spotu Psy pravi razne smicalice devojkama dok ne nadje devojku koja ce to isto raditi njemu. Za razliku od prethodnog videa, ovde nema plesa ludog kauboja, niti bilo kakvih spektakularnih plesnih pokreta. Samo se mrda kukovima. I to dosta. Da li je sve to dovoljno kako bi Gentleman postao veliki svetki hit? Jos uvek je rano reci. Ali, mislim da postoje dobre sanse.
