My heart. I feel like I grew up with them. The vocals were and are on point - no matter the genre - Shinee is the leader in the industry.

You may have noticed that "Sherlock" felt like you were listening to more than one song because it's a special song that combines 2 songs from SHINee's album "Clue" and "Note." That's why the title of this MV is "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" If you were to listen to the album, you would see that they are two separate songs, but when combined they become "Sherlock." So, in the MV you hear the mashup of the two songs. Therefore, if you watch a live performance of "Sherlock (Clue & Note)", Minho's whisper part in their live performance is different than what you heard in the MV because when they perform it live, they chose different parts of "Clue" and "Note" to create "Sherlock" each time. When it comes to SHInee every performance is very unique, which is one reason why SHINee's concerts are considered one of the best. No matter how many times you have heard a song or seen them perform, you will never get the same thing twice. In SHINee's "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" MV the boys are Sherlock-like detectives who are looking for clues among the archives and displays in an old museum. The "ghost" girl -- who is played by Jessica Jung, the former member of Girls' Generation -- is helping SHINee solve a mystery by leaving them clues. At the end they realize that the girl they have been seeing and chasing after all day is actually the girl that was originally involved in the mystery when they find an article talking about her from 1910 and they discover that they must have been seeing a ghost. The room where they have their dance breaks is the main hall of the museum, like a large ballroom in a mansion or great hall, etc. And the compass rose star in the middle of the floor I interpret to represent SHINee who are known as shining stars and it's a symbol for how they are navigating the globe as they reach fans all over the world. In this song and MV SHINee are supposed to be detectives, so the choreography has been designed to give them Sherlock-like poses and to show them investigating clues, and taking photos, etc. That is why they do that Sherlock Holmes-style exaggerated march, and why you see them kneel down and draw a line on the floor, and why they hold their hands out like they are snapping a photo, and they have that move that looks like they are brushing dust from their sleeves, etc. Yes, the brand name on the computer was iWatson. Like Sherlock Holmes' sidekick Watson. The computer helped SHINee solve the mystery. SHINee was actually starting a fashion trend at that time. The group is known for being one step ahead when it comes to fashion because they are the ones that start the trends in Korea that eventually influence fashion trends around the world. Fashion designers actually covet a chance to work with SHINee, or any of the members individually for that matter, because they know that if they can get SHINee to wear their clothes that they will become super popular. And, yes, this was the era of Taemin with long hair. Although, in the MV, Taemin's really long hair was a wig. He only has long straight hair during the dance breaks, but during the story sections his hair is much shorter and kind of curly. (He had to go back and forth between long and short hair for the MV shoot so it was easier for them to use a wig, but later on for promotions he had hair extensions.) However, he really did grow his hair long for a while during "Lucifer" area in 2010. Taemin with long hair is one of his most iconic looks. I didn't really like his wig look, but Taemin with naturally long hair/hair extensions during Sherlock era is one of my favorites. (He is actually known for making girls jealous because his hair is so perfect.) Many people thing that Taemin with long hair made him look pretty like a girl, but I actually think it's kind of a masculine look on him. Taemin's hairstyle also made him one of the most popular of the members with their Japanese fans. This was the era when SHINee really started to solidify themselves as Japanese artists, so Taemin's look had Japanese fans gravitating to them. (SHINee debuted in Japan in 2011 and now they are considered one of the most popular artists in Japan as well.) "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" came out in 2012 -- 4 years after their debut with "Replay." So Taemin is now 18 in this MV. Onew is 22, Jonghyun is 21 and Key and Minho are 20. The choreography for "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" was created by Tony Testa a very well-known "Hollywood"-famous American choreographer who has also worked with some of the most famous artists, productions and dancers in the world, including Michael Jackson. "Sherlock" was the first time SM (or pretty much anyone in the Kpop industry) had ever used a famous choreographer, and at the time, it was the most expensive Kpop production ever. Once again, SHINee were trendsetters and, because of SHINee's skill level, SM became the first to see the value in using a well-known choreographer to help create their dances and to strive for a level of choreography and video production that surpassed anything that had ever been done before. (Now, SHINee -- and numerous SM groups -- have worked with Tony Testa multiple times over the years.) Today it's common place for Kpop companies to have really famous in-house choreographers, and to seek out people in the industry who are really making a name for themselves to choreograph for them, but SHINee was one of the first. If you want to see the choreography even better, you should check out SHINee's "Sherlock" dance practice video, or better yet, one of their live concert performances of "Sherlock (Clue & Note)." I recommend their SHINee World Concert IV (SWC4) in Seoul performance from 2015, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5qgfLGSzajTgo0.html. If you think the MV is good, just wait until you see them perform it live. "Sherlock (Clue & Note)" live is on a whole other level.

Somewhere on YT there is a video of them doing the choreo two times faster. They slay it. Before I even knew K-Pop existed, I randomly noticed long haired Taemin =D

SHINee Sherlock should be watch live!!! The choreo of this song is cool

Okay I need you to do a SHINee marathon now❤ My first kpop group I got into and still my favourite. The way they have saved the way for some many future kpop artists and trends.

Literally Fell in love with song years ago shinee legends ofcourse💯 also STRAY KIDS COVER OF THIS SONG REMINDED ME HOW MUCH I LOVED IT CAUSE THEY NAILED IT👀🔥

A wigged Taemin. LOL "Shiny babies". It's fun watching how far SHINee has come in their music and choreo. Thanks Roscoe. 💙💜 Can't wait to see the Top Hat.

This song is iconic, truly SHINee at their best imo 💎

I love SHINee

This was the first SHINee song I saw, and it hooked me -- What a group // They are still cranking out the hits and setting the trends. Great leaders in the industry.

This choreo was the most expencive the SM ever did back then, because they hired exclusively for SHINee the one and only Tony Testa, who used to be the choreographer for Mickael Jackson last tournament. Yes, it was THE unique choreo and is still unmatched, even though a lot of cover has been done ever since. Though even a good one done by Stray Kids, they didn't do the jump Minho did over key so well like in the original, and other details so forth, ..but who is complaining. It is an honor nevertheless that younger gen wants to do covers of SHINee. And SHINee vocals....a line simply unmatched. Their intensity in choreo of Sherlock and strong vocals is incredible in their live concerts as well.. Sherlock with CLue and Note as sub title, was the first ever hybrid mix in the industry, where they mixed two tracks together in one song. In addition, this "SHINee is back" and "SHINee is in the house" is something like a SHINee label, something the later gen has used sometimes, for themselves, but everyone knows where it comes from....

PLEASE WATCH THE LIVE VERSION! ❤️❤️❤️

Recently *SHINEE* released a band version of this song that is worth watching

Shinee kalitedir zamansizdir....her zaman harika....

Our SHINee babies 💙. Yes very reminiscent of that era. And their choreographer at the time was Tony Testa so *very* of the era. They still perform this one at their shows and the live is chef's kiss.

there are two nice covers of this song by ppl you like: stray kids did a cover recently, and kim yeji made a rock version too, it is so good!

This song and video bring back so many memories as one who'd already be "K-popin' and rockin'" for years. Seeing all five members brings a bittersweet nostalgia as well as seeing Jessica Jung again (formerly SNSD). Those were the good days ....

No, you have to see this one live ma man. Its a cultural experience

please more SHINEE because they LEGENDARY !!!!

God this song is such a banger every single time I hear it 💜

YES YES YES I WAS WAITING FOR THIS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I had totally forgotten about this EP and that Jessica Jung was playing in this. But as soon as the first beat started, I remembered the songs rightaway. And Roscoe is is right: these were quintessential early 2010s K Pop visuals.

Whenever I see a reaction to this MV, I have a mix of anger and enjoyment. The enjoyment is because this track holds up in 2024, and you can find some killer live performances of this song that will amaze you. But the anger is because mental health issues robbed us of this version of Shinee. I want it back, but we can't have it back. Please take care of your favorite idols.

Sherlock always feels for me like a Broadway song rather than a kpop song.. it was far ahead of everything in kpop what had been seen so far..

You should watch the live version, SHINee World IV. They are really majestic in their all white bling-bling outfits. 2012

Shinee was the first Kpop group I started listening to. I started watching a show called Hello Baby in which different kpop bands were taking care of young kinds and babies and Shinee was on one of the seasons and then I had a friend who loved Shinee so listened to some...then I took a break from Kpop for a while and came back to when I found BTS

they have a song called Spoiler, where they did a whole spoiler of their next album at that time hahaha they’re THAT group for a reason

I miss Jonghyun ♡ ill never get over it. I'm so happy to see you watch the shinee babys! ♡♡♡♡♡

I love watching their old video because Jonghyun. Still miss him

THIS COMEBACK WAS EPIC!! I still remember it like it was yesterday! This is sooooooo iconic!

You have to see the concert version!

when i started listening to kpop Shinee were rookies , time flies so fast !!

SHINee🎉

Stray Kids cover made me discover this song. 😊

Roscoe and a bodyroll...😊 and the hat 😂🎉🎉🎉

Na minha opinião essa é uma das mais icônicas do kpop ainda mais por causa da versão ao vivo

SHINee forever🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵!!!

The amount of years we were tortured with built in everysing ads lol

Im gonna go cry in a corner ❤❤❤❤❤

stray kids covered this ,its on their youtube channel

when you paused the video to make that random comment that “a wax seal doesn’t taste how it looks. trust me.” i had to pause your video to lol.

If Roscoe was a kpop idol, he'd be awesome in the 2nd gen.

I love skz sm, but I kind of wish people would stop bringing up their cover. It’s like they can’t even sit and wait and enjoy Shinee’s mv because they keep bringing up Stray Kids. Especially at the end, someone said, “can you watch skz cover of this??” And it almost felt like they were just sitting there waiting for the mv to finish so they could ask that. Stray kids cover was great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s kind of sad that Shinee wasn’t getting much acknowledgment in their OWN video. And that person in the live chat that said “can we stop comparing them?”, while I don’t think they picked the right word to convey what they were feeling, I agree. It’s sad that other groups and other idols keep getting brung up when it comes to Shinee.

It's funny you say Sherlock feels like 'this era' when it was considered a totally unique, unusual, and off trend song when it was released.

You should totally watch stray kids' cover for the song!!! They nailed it❤❤

💜💜

💯💯💯🔥

Aaaah Roscoe, you have to watch the recent Stray Kids Cover of Sherlock!! 😄🔥

If you love this you’ll also love stray kids cover

Yes stray kids sherlock reaction pliz Their voices were so amazing

I will give anything for you to do a few in 2PM songs. ADTOY and Make It and Go Crazy are my faves.

Please make reaction shinee everybody.. they won artist of the year in that❤

Really should check out Skz cover. This song is so amazing

❤

You gotta dig for it, but the ateez cover is phenomenal. Jongho’s voice was made for SHINee songs.

Look forward to seeing your new hat worn at a jaunty angle 😂 And no, don’t eat the wax seal, Roscoe!! You’re as bad as I am lmaoo

Please react to Alffy Rev - Wonderland Indonesia 1 & 2. He incorporated a medley of different tribal songs and costumes with modern EDM and even national songs.

You have to react to Stray kids covering this song please!!

So before Hyunjin was Hairjin, Taemin was Hairmin 🤣

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Excuse me, but you really reminds me of Jay Kay from Jamiroquai. 😀

Ok🤷🏻‍♀️ when are you going to react to "Can I Get Your Number" MV❓ been pleading 🙏🏼

Gracias por seguir reaccionando y conociendo a SHINee!!! Podrías ver su version en un concierto? Ahh. la última también kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftFhl9Sm1tKYqps.htmlsi=WDHrMiBgHkLY2ye0

Please React to bigbang last dance

Please react to mlre SHINee, why so serious, everybody, replay, dream girl, Lucifer, dont call me...

can you react to the stray kids cover roscoe?

This is definitely a live performance song! It's great like this but it hits so much more when watching te live performance. Stray Kids did Great covering this. I might have cried a little being a shawol and a stay.

I am sorry I understand you think they were babies but I disagree with most of what you commented bc firstly they were older then 20 by this era and also this in 2012 was actually not typical they were always pushing the boundaries with their dancing and songs. And I loved how unique they were. But I have been a fan since 2008 when they debuted.

Next you should watch the Stray Kids cover of Sherlock it’s amazing 🤩

That hair was so awful. Like whoever put those extension on Taemin should probably be fired. It was done so poorly. But the poor stylist was also probably overworked, so not their fault. Still ... ew.

SHINee🎉

SHINee🎉
