Music to the Ears (2NE1- I Love You)

I am in love with this song! Of course I was expecting something awesome from YG and usually their comebacks are quite powerful and make a big impact. The teasers were very ambiguous and the parts they used were more from the second half of the song so I kind of lost me but after I heard the whole song I fell in love with it. I read on internet numerous opinions on I Love You and sincerely half of them were absurd but everybody has the right to express themselves freely so no comment.

Back to the song, I also love the MV. I've waited for it and I was enthusiastic to see it and it didn't disappoint. The girls look amazing and even though Minzy uses a lot of hairstyles (which kind of annoyed me a little) and Dara's hair looks...interesting (but it seems they used G-Dragon's idea if not he was the one to use it on her since he does help the girls) everything was more than fine. I love how colourful the surroundings were and the concept itself. It suited the band well. Also the rhythm it's really catchy and the chorus, well anyone can sing it. This song is really hard to get off your head after the first listening.

What I didn't like at it was that a lot of parts din't really seem to fit or didn't have a continuation. From the part with them on the bed they change to the car and then to a different surrounding and the colours are so bright and powerful that it blinded me. But overall, it was awesome and I love it anyway.

2NE1 came back and they are prepared to swipe the audience off their feet. They are badass and strong and I'm pretty sure the song will get high on charts. :D

 

"What I Like About..." 2NE1

Sincerely, I started listening to 2NE1 by mistake. I was looking for a completely different girls band (Brown Eyed Girls if I remember correctly) and came by I'm The Best, which means it wasn't too long ago. However, I didn't find the song likeable at all. I listened to him once and still loaded it but after a few more times I started to love it and even, though it's uncharacteristically to me, I even learned the dance. That's a big step for me and it means I love that song. After it, I kind of started to look more into their music and found out they are part of YG, like Se7en, Tablo, Big Bang, Gummy, etc. Anyway, what I like about 2NE1 is the fact that they get out of the usual. The four girls have attitude, give you that 'hell yeah' feeling, they are even more bad ass than Big Bang, if we talk about YG, or even B.A.P, if we talk in general.  

Now, their songs roll really well which means they don't dissatisfy the public and they songs gets the listener to dance or sing along. Bom's voice is amazing and she looks like a doll but her black eyes scare me sometimes. They are so dark. CL is a good leader even though she's young. I actually like her the best. She reminds me of a teenager who just found out what she wants to do in life. She's also natural on stage and has a good voice. She can pull a lot of faces and attitudes. She seems a good and versatile singer. Continuing, Sandara looks very young. When I found out she's 27 I was perplexed. She looks to be about 23 at most. When I saw the Strong Heart: YG Family Special I laughed at how childish she acts. On top of that, she seems a good evil partner for Seungri. Now, the maknae of the group, Minzy. She reminds me a lot about Daesung, lol. Maybe it's the eyes or maybe because they seem shy but aren't. However, she's still young but has quite the bad looks there. Their songs genre differs a lot and so does their image. They stand out and aren't afraid to show who they are. I love their style and how their music can satisfy any one.

Most of the girls bands are very winy tiny pinky and show a lot of innocence and aegyo. I believe what's too much gets annoying. It might be because of my origins, in the end I have lived my whole life in Europe with a different perception of feminism and innocence is not a characteristic for girls in my country. I should go look for my innocence since I lost that when I was really young. I'm not talking about innocence as in being a virgin or not but as in having a nice mind and pure intentions. I believe that's why I like 2NE1 and 4Minute. Maybe they express more feeling than SNSD, who for me seem to be on a straight line and never amaze me with anything, especially attitude. (but I don't have anything with them)
