'Blue' ranks #2 on Pop Justice’s "The Top 15 K-Pop Singles of 2012"

2. Big Bang – ‘Blue’

There were other Big Bang videos that were more instantly iconic this year, but ‘Blue’ was the ‘Diamonds’ to the ‘Where Have You Been’ of ‘Fantastic Baby’. ‘Blue’ is Not A Banger, but it subtly morphs and builds into a non-boring slowburn anthem, punctuated by G-Dragon’s occasional croon “I’m singing my blu-oo-ooos.” I’ve no idea what they’re talking about, but the breakdown at 3:18 always makes me feel a bit funny, just before it kicks back in and they’re singing their blues again, and singing their blues some more. Despite the song’s non-banger status, Taeyang still manages to get a pirouette in there, too.

Best Bit: The bit where T.O.P pops the collar of his jacket at 02:11. Just amazing.
