2NE1's Gonna Make You "SCREAM" In Their 6th Thread!

[Not Fade Away]

2NE1 Scored #9 & #3 on Spin's 21 greatest K-Pop songs of all time with Ugly and I Am the Best, respectively.

9. 2NE1 - "Ugly" (2011)

Though "Ugly" scans like aggressive homage (or a rip, if you'd like) to TLC's 1996 body-image breakdown "Unpretty," its impact is more akin to the world-beating bubble-grunge of Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone." Loud and brash, tender yet heroic, it encapsulates just about everything that's so immediate about the 2NE1 crew. And on the strength of CL's volcanic vocals, the four unleash here what's arguably the most ferocious chorus in K-pop history. D.B.

3. 2NE1 - "I Am the Best" (2011)

"I Am the Best" might've been the best single released on the planet in 2011, even if not for its apocalyptic/futuristic video that kicks off on a catwalk and escalates into straightjackets, train-track break-dancing, ice cream cone rabbit-ear hats, and devil-horned hairstyles well before the aluminum bats and machine guns come out so 2NE1 can smash and shoot up the place. The stomping title hook sounds like "Neh-guh-ché Challa-GAH"; other big nonsense hook is the machine-gunned "bum-ratta-TATTA ta-tatta tah-tah." Then there's the froggie-reggae dancehall ("hot-hot-hot-hot FI-ya") and Alice Cooper ("billion dollar baby") references. Lyric plot: Hitting the city, taking no ****. World-class throat: CL. C.E.

Also here are some pictures of 2NE1 performing at Silla University in Busan on 5/31/12:

Spoiler:

These were taken before the performance at Silla University, so I think the concert pics I posted before has their current hair color.

Minzy is looking sooo mature and beautiful. <3

Also, more exciting news...tomorrow is June 4th which means "Be Mine" will probably leak tomorrow <3<3. Soo exciting. Even though none of us are that excited, hahaha.

I'm not gonna lie, this is kind of dissappointing news. It means that any chance of them having an American debut before 2012 ends is probably unlikely...blehhh

[freedreamer]

It's gonna be released in 11hours time!!!!!!!!

Yep. This is pretty annoying news. I'm actually really annoyed. They've been annoying the ***** out of their English fans with this since 2009. I'm pretty sure any English song they've made is just vaporware. We're never going to hear it... like ever.

[Earth_maiden]

I miss Bom's deep reddish hair.

[jewelbox]

I just can't believe that Minzy is younger than me, she looks so mature

[freedreamer]

Be Mine will be released at 5.30 PM KST

[AyUta]

I want Be Mine right now

[AyuHamasaki01]

Why can't they just release it at midnight KST?

[freedreamer]

In another 40mins it'll be out

[panda♥]

kind of a boring song & PV IMO, but i still caught myself singing the chorus towards the end. i think it'll grow on me.
did they finally figure out how to do Bom's makeup? she looks really good.

[Not Fade Away]

Haha I found myself singing along with it too. Minzy's voice sounds better and better as she gets older, also she looked gorgeous (*obvious Minzy bias*).

The song just sounds like a lullaby to me...I want/am waiting for more hard dance beats haha. Especially after the epicness that has been Big Bang's 'Monster' release.

[AyUta]

I think it's nice, very soothing and I found myself singing along with it too . Bommie looks adorable!

[AyuHamasaki01]

The song's not bad, not sure if I'll like it.
Maybe it'll grow on me.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Yay, a first-timer in the 2NE1-thread. A friend at school let me listen to a couple of songs, and I start to like them a lot.

BE MINE is alright. I feel an urge to sleep when I hear it, but... it's a catchy lullabye.
