So, i'm here to talk about two things: the song and Sooyoung's recent treatement in Japan
So as you may all know, SNSD's "Show girls" was released yesterday, along with the Divine PV
My thoughts about the song: i freakin' amor IT. i know it sounds like two different songs but honestly, who the fuck cares? so many people praise Express 999 (me included) and it sounds like two songs combined. So, for me, that's not a valid reason to dislike "Show girls"
You could argue that the song, in general is quite silly and yeah i have to agree. it gives me a "circus" feel and all those randoms "whoo's" in the chorus makes me think of this song as a complete filler
however, it's different from everything SNSD has done, so far. the chorus is really catchy and fun. and the verses are really nice too.
Now, for the main issue of this article: Sooyoung's recent treatement in Japan
Is it just me or she's basically a Lead vocal in Japão now?
since 2013 that Sooyoung is cantar mais and more. and now that Jessica is gone i think she'll be a lead vocal in Korea too. unless SM decides to focus on TTS and Sunny's vocals only.
let's analyze all their japanese songs released since last year
Gossip girls- in this song, Sooyoung is the third member with the most lines. only Taeyeon and Jessica sing mais than her
Motorcycle- altough she had the same number of lines as the other dancers, she gets to sing in the chorus, which are usually given to main and lead vocals
Flyers- this song is quite a mess because even on live performances, every member keeps lipsyncing each others' lines. so it doesn't really help. but, from what i hear in the official studio version, she sings mais than HyoYulYoon and has the same number of lines as Sunny
Galaxy supernova- Do i need to explain? this is Sooyoung's song. lool. if you show this to a non-snsd fan, the person will think Sooyoung is part of the vocal line
amor & girls- same number of lines as the other dancers but her lines are longer, mais memorable and require a lot mais effort
My oh my- 3 freakin' lines. same number as Jessica, Seohyun, Sunny. only Taeyeon and Tiffany sing mais than her and that's because they have adlibs at the end
Lips- she sings mais than the other dancers and has the same number of lines as Sunny
Do the catwalk- tecnhically speaking, she and Yuri are the members with the most lines in this song.
Karma butterfly- nicely distributed song. every member gets 2 lines, except for TTS and Jessica
Língua franca- only TTS sing mais than her. she has the same number of lines as Jessica and Sunny
Everyday love- 4 lines. same number as Sunny, Seohyun and Jessica. and she sings mais than Taeyeon and Tiffany
Blue jeans- same number of lines as Jessica. she sings mais than Tiffany. Sunny, Seohyun and Taeyeon sing mais than her
Indestructible- the line distribution for this song is still quite a mistery but i know for sure that she sings mais than HyoYulYoon. she also seems to sing mais than Sunny and Jessica, with only TTS cantar mais than her.
Divine- according to the PV....Sooyoung has 4 lines, same amount as Sunny and mais than HyoYulYoon.
Chain reaction and Beep beep- not gonna count these two songs because: even though Chain reaction was released this year, it was recorded in 2011. and Beep beep had an MV in 2013 but it was recorded in 2012. either way, Sooyoung gets a nice amount of lines in both songs
and now for their latest release, Show girls
i gotta say i was quite shocked. only Taeyeon, Tiffany and Jessica sing mais than her. she actually has mais lines than Seohyun and Sunny and the lines they gave her are actually very impressive and you can tell how much she improved. she sings very beautiful high notes in this song and i'm very proud of her
here's the line distribution
link
0:09-Seohyun, 0:25-Sunny, 0:40-Tiffany, 0:44-Jessica, 0:48-Sooyoung, 0:51-Taeyeon
All, 1:06-Taeyeon, 1:18-Jessica, 1:21-Tiffany, 1:25-Taeyeon, 1:32-Yuri, 1:39-Sooyoung
1:46-Tiffany, 1:47-Taeyeon, 1:51-Hyoyeon, 1:54-Sunny, 1:58-Sooyoung, 2:02-Hyoyeon
2:05-Yuri, 2:13-Tiffany, 2:15-Jessica, All, 2:27-Taeyeon, 2:30-Jessica, 2:33-Yoona, 2:44-Tiffany, 2:46-Seohyun, 2:50-Yoona, 2:53-Taeyeon, 2:57-Jessica, All, 3:12-Taeyeon, All, 3:27-Taeyeon
oh and..yeah, i don't think i need to comment about HyoYul's lines, do i? they're pathetic. their segundo line is basically a aleatório "doo doo yeah"
even Yoona got to sing mais decent lines, altough very short as well
but listen to Sooyoung's lines at 0:48, 1:39 and 1:58 and tell me what do you think. did she improve? are you surprised that Seohyun didn't get Sooyoung's line at 1:58, instead?
and do you think she's getting treated like a lead vocalist now? at least in Japan?

They played a game similar to the game in Come to Play show. “Problem Solving Magical Book” (Read this if you have no idea how that game works link)
Sunny’s problem: When will my hair grow long?
She immediately closed the Magical Book without letting anyone to see the answer.
Sica: Her answer is “until she dies, her hair will still never grow”. LOL
Now is Seohyun’s turn.
Seohyun: When will I become a maknae who is loved por her unnies?
This time, she also immediately closed the Magical Book similar to what Sunny just did. Seohyun even shouted “AH AH AH~~~”
SONE: What is it? What is it?
Sica using her aegyo voice: Is your answer also “until you die, you still cannot receive it?”
HAHAHAHA
