Fun Town 20

I don't really understand the album title but I guess I don't really have to as it's such a good piece of work, especially following the catastrophe also known as her 7th album. It's a great idea to cover all kinds of songs in dance versions. I read that she originally planned a ballad cover album but luckily changed plans.

#1 Aphajo 10

Brilliant opener. One of her all-time best songs. Contains some very clearly understandable phrases such as "unmjôngkathyn sarang", meaning 'love that seems like destiny'.

#2 Funky Town 10

I was never a fan of the original but how could I resist this wonderful version with probably her best video to date?

#3 Pônnwë 8

So this was the Russian song. Couldn't really tell it apart from the Korean and Japanese ones...

#4 Ôttôn Kitarim 8

"One two! One two!" A happier tune for a change. However, there's a bit too much rap and too little else going on.

#5 Nê Sarang Don't Go 8

This has a distinctive sound in the intro that I associate strongly to her interview on Pops in Seoul. Oh poor VJ Soy, how could I watch that show again without her on it? Maybe I should give it a try and check out the new androidess. Maybe she's not half bad?

#6 Ônysê 6½

The only one to get two stars on this album, probably for a reason? Oh yes, this is just boring.

#7 Only You 8½

"Baby, my lop, so sweet!" What else can I say than "so sweet"? :]
Cheerful song, though less dancey.

#8 7njônkanyi Sarang 10

This should be the third best track, let's see if it is. Oh yes.

#9 Zôngkôzang 9

Good stuff.

#10 Let's Go Diva 8½

Many good parts but also bad ones.

#11 Fantasy 7½

I forgot to say anything. A trainlike feeling.

#12 Pôsy Anesô 9½

Clearly one of the best. The title 'Inside the bus' is also fun. Oh, if I heard correctly, the bus is going to the school.

#13 Han Songi Zô Tylkukhwazhôrôm 8½

This album has many wonderfully complicated titles.

#14 Ôzzôta Mazuzhin Kytê 8

I must've had a bad day when starring this album as there are many 3s that should be 4s. This one probably not, though.

#15 Juhok 7

We've entered a latin phase. I can so see middle-aged Korean people dancing to this at their local "lavatanssit".

#16 Pjôlzhôrôm 8½

It's funny how all three generally recognisable ones to a Western person (apart from the title track) have been piled in the end. It takes some thought to identify this as Baliamos by Enquire Igleisas, as our old dance game would've put it.

#17 I Wanna Dance with Somebody 9½

On YA, this was listed as "I Wanna Dance with Some Boy", which would've been better. The Whitney original is great and so is this.

#18 Zhinkunyn Taiaryl Thako 9½

I'm so grateful they've slowed the melody down rather than speeding it up, because especially the chorus would've been something quite interesting at double time and 160 BPM...

#19 Remix (Fantasy, Zini, Pôsy Anesô)

I seem to have had the habit of not grading megamixes. Fantasy won't become any better, no matter now many times you remix it. Zini, however, sounds very promising. Too bad it's not included.
