Hi.

There are five attractive girls parading around, sporting tight dresses, which compliments their figures singing a song on an upbeat tempo. That will attract a lot of viewers on Youtube.

I would not be surprised if many who took the time to watch the video did not realise “Please Be My Baby” is the only English spoken while everything else is Korean throughout the song.

“Meikyu Love Song” is more to wards a story line. From a choreograph perspective the video is more artistic and, caters to those who fancy creativity.

The Wonder Girls offer more of a Pop appeal and very simplistic design.

The popularity may differ if you listened to both songs using an mp3 player instead of watching a video on Youtube.

Cheers!
