2NE1 UPLOAD ACOUSTIC VERSIONS OF "I LOVE YOU" AND "LONELY" / DARA SOUNDS ANGELIC!

Since 2011, Sandara Park, aka the Queen of vocals, has been improving at such a rapid pace that it's kinda hard to keep up. It all started when they released "It Hurts" and Ms. Park started to show her singing chops. Today, 2NE1 and YG (label) uploaded two acoustic, live versions of "I Love You" and "Lonely" and Dara sounds better than anyone.

The videos are really simple, just them four and the guitar player, singing their hearts out. Dara looking cuter than a newborn baby after it's been showered cuz no one wants a bloody baby, no one wants a bloody baby........ Anwyay, Dara and the three minions look and sound flawless.

There is a bit of a gag reel in the beginning of "Lonely". FlopBom tries to sing her solo single "Don't Cry" instead... and clearly no fucks were given by the rest of the girls cuz they sang "Lonely" instead.

I love that they are finally letting Dara show her true skills. 

"I Love You"

"Lonely"

- We need a new solo single by Dara, like yesterday.

QUEEN DARA AND HER FELLOW SERVANTS (AKA 2NE1) MAKE OFFICIAL M! COUNTDOWN COMEBACK WITH "I LOVE YOU"!

Sandara Park also known as the Queen of 2NE1, also known as just Dara, and her fellow servants (CL, Bom and Minzy) made their official comeback for the variety show "M! Countdown". They were originally supposed to comeback last week but Minzy's grandma decided to die, forcing 2NE1 to delay their return and ruining all of our lives. 

Thank God this comeback hasn't been as messy as last one though, God, last one was horrible. It's kinda sad how someone always dies (last time it was that motorcyclist Daesung from BIGBANG "allegedly" ran over) but thankfully this has been a success. The girls new single "I Love You" has topped the #1 spot in South Korea, dethroning SISTAR's latest flop effort and leaving the newly 8 membered T-Ara for the #2 spot. 

In this particular performance, Dara reinvents everything you could possibly think you knew. She reinvents fashion, with her flawless new and never done before* shaved side and her chopstick hairstyle. God, can she do anything wrong? Well, it seems not because her vocals for this performance (and the previous Inkigayo) have been flawless, flaw-free, impeccable, untouchable, unmatchable, better than Adele herself. Dara is serving up some flawless vocal skills with her half-sung, half spoken verses showing CL and Minzy who's the real rapper up in this bitch while looking younger, cuter and a hell of a lot more charming than all the other three members combined!

I also particularly love this performance because of the back-wall. It changes a lot of times which is great because it shows they actually put effort into it. Also, I love that flop moment in the performance when Minzy and CL do the whole faux lesbo, let's sing together and hug each other and look at the camera like we're faux lesbos, it's such a flop moment it almost makes me love them. 

Anyway, watch the performance and tell me how much you love Dara, if not, GTFO!

*Sarcasm is intended

- On  a side note, I made an edit of this song with Dara singing more lines... it's epic... but I might never post it because I'm greedy as fuck and I don't wanna share... but I wanna tease y'all, kthanksbye.

2NE1 MAKE AN EPIC COMEBACK TO KPOP WITH "I LOVE YOU" ON INKIGAYO!

You can always count on the foursome known as the force to reckoned with, to bring it all in with their live performances. The fact we don't get as many performances like every other idol group totally makes up with the quality. Last night, Dara and her passy took the Inkigayo stage and slayed everything... and did it completely live!

CL was in charge (as the official leader) to kick things off with her rap-intro and the girl was giving me all sorts of fierce with her pirate-lookalike parrot. She was strutting her cha-chas to the left, and to the right and all over the damn stage! It was glorious! And to be fair, it was a pretty nice rap to!

Now with "I Love You", it seems they chose a not-so-difficult choreography in order to have the girls not run out of breath, and it paid off because we can actually hear the girls sing, yes, even Dara, and let me tell you, girl can sing (or talk). Dara was looking all sorts of fuckable in that side-shaved head of hers. Also, she gets a good amount of lines in this one, and she gets to sing the "I love you, I love youuuuu" part and you know I'm already on Audacity editing the shit out of Bom's bit so I can hear Dara sing that twice.

Bom, sounded great, she wasn't shouty and annoying as she can sound sometimes. She stuck to nice vocals and wasn't nervous. A lot of the times homegirl gets a little worked up, and her voice sounds shaky, but this time, she was on it!

Minzy on the other hand, was a bad girl, a very bad girl! She was being a slut all over the dance floor, popping her butt like there was no tomorrow, swinging all over the place, girl, get a room (i love it!) She was fierce! And her live vocals are so good too!

All the girls sounded great, looked great and Dara is proving she can talk along to a backing track, so all is right with this miserable world!

2NE1 RELEASE "I LOVE YOU" MUSIC VIDEO!

Dara and her passy are back at it again with their all-kill, defining new masterpiece "I Love You". They have just released the music video (20 minutes ago, sorry for the delay) and it's giving me life. It's cute, it's charming, it's classy and the fashion is on point and most importantly, Dara looks better than your flops.

The more I listen to "I Love You" the more in love I am with it, and of course, Dara's flawless, auto tuned vocals are a major factor in my love for this track! 

Can't wait for the live performances!

EMMA STONE WHO? DARA IS ALL SPIDER MAN WANTS!

2NE1 somehow managed to tag along to the Spiderman world premiere red-carpets and it seems Spidey is taking a liking for Quee-of-earth-and-everthing-that's-right-with-this-world Dara Park!

It seems that during the premiere Queen Dara got tired of walking like a regular human so she decided to get Spiderman to carry her around like the Queen she is. Well, that's not really how it happened, watch the clip! 

So Spiderman just wanted to carry her and show Emma Stone who he really loves. You can see Emma's face like "WTF is my man doing?" Emma Stone must be furious right now! Run, Spidey, Run!!

The girls (2NE1) are going to be in a couple more Spiderman premieres, so let's hope this adoration continues so that Dara can get on all the gossip shows!

Sandara Park For President 2012!!!

Someone better give Dara a cameo in Spiderman 2!

2NE1 FEAR THE POWER OF T-ARA, DELAY COMEBACK TO MID-JULY!

2NE1 isn't stupid, they know where they stand now. They know going against T-Ara is the stupidest idea ever so they've gone ahead and delayed their July comeback to mid-July stating "album production" delays. Album production delays my ass. After the massive flop they suffered in Japan, and T-Ara's massive new throne, you know they are scared!

Their label says "There were plans to release 2NE1′s new album within this month. However, because there were so many good songs and [because they are putting their hearts and souls into this album], the release period has been delayed.” Excuse me but if there were so many good songs, shouldn't you RUSH the release? Since you know, you have sooooo many good songs, why delay it?

2NE1 used to be my favorite girl group, I used to love them, until they went to Japan and tried the whole cute thing, it just wasn't working for me. It was forced, they looked like complete sell-outs, etc. They've become very generic, they never try anything new. Last year at this time, I was so excited for "I AM THE BEST" but knowing 2NE1, they'll keep postponing the album's release until they have no competition.

I'm not looking forward to 2NE1's comeback to be quite honest, it's gonna be the same shit, same beat, CL is gonna lead the the verses and rap, Minzy is gonna have a minor verse, Queen Sandara Park is gonna have two lines for the pre-chorus, and Bom is gonna shout the chorus. It's gonna be the same sound, etc, no fankz.

2NE1 PUTS ME TO SLEEP WITH THEIR NEW ADVERTISEMENT SINGLE "BE MINE"

2NE1 has joined forces with Intel Korea for their new line of ultra book laptops, so in KPOP fashion the quartet went and recorded a promotional single that will play whenever the commercial airs. Anyway, instead of going for the obvious techno, let's get everyone excited to buy this shit, nope, they went for the slower tempo about loving someone (aka their ultra books, aka their paychecks)... it seriously put me to sleep.

The song is not horrible, the lyrics are actually kinda cute but if I ever listen to ballads or mid-tempos, I am not gonna go to 2NE1's auto-tuned asses, girl please, I gots me Adele, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood for that. And really that's all I'm saying, leave the singing and the mid-tempos for people that don't need 3 tons of auto-tune.

This really sucks because up until now, I hadn't disliked a 2NE1 song... I even love "It Hurts" mainly because Dara is the lead in the video, but, still. This song is a snoozefest. They should have have done something fun like their "Lollipop" video.

I also really hope this isn't a sneak peek for their comeback, cuz if it is, I'm outs of this Blackjack fan club.

THE WANTED LOVE 2NE1!

The Wanted's Jay was caught singing 2NE1's smash hit single "I AM THE BEST". The fact a busy group like The Wanted has time to listen to KPOP is huge! This just proves even more how KPOP is making its way to the Western hemisphere. 

This is great, considering The Wanted are having a great year, and that 2NE1 is set to comeback next month, everything is aligning so perfectly. Jay looks adorable singing the "Naega Jeil Jal Naga" bit from 2NE1's hit, but he needs to work on his Korean because he butchered the shit outta that bit. I'm still super excited though, it makes me so happy to know Jay (The Wanted) and I have something in common. Next step, marriage. 

Watch out for 2:50 that's when he starts singing, he also asks fans to tweet him if they know where the song came from.

DARA AND CL PRETTY MUCH CONFIRM "TAKE THE WORLD ON" AS 2NE1 COMEBACK SINGLE!

Queen Sandara-better-than-your-favez-Park and C-the-baddest-bitch-in-town-L have posted two pics to tease fans for their upcoming comeback. It has two Ws and no one seems to understand that means WORLD. As in my queens are planning WORLD WIDE DOMINATION. AS IN "TAKE THE WORLD ON!"

They teased us with "Take The World On" one of the tracks that Will.i.am produced a couple of months ago and maybe... most likely they are going to comeback with this as their new single. Which makes a lot of sense, they have been yapping about Will.i.am's collab for like a year now. 

I like "Take The World On" - it's everything you'd expect from Will.i.am, generic, same beats, etc, but Dara's mini-verse is snatching my weave collection. Listen to the leaked live snippet below!

2NE1 isn't as clever as they wanna make you believe.

2NE1 TO HAVE OFFICIAL KOREAN COMEBACK THIS JUNE, YOU AND YOUR FAVEZ BETTER WORRY!

One of South Korea's most famous, money making, and extremely Westernized girl groups have officially announced their plans to slay our weaves this June with a spanking new album! After the success and horrible set-backs the last EP has last year, I am both excited and worried.

Whenever 2NE1 announce a new album, everyone stops whatever they're doing and pushes their releases  back a couple of weeks. You do not mess with the fabulous four. They have a shit-ton of hits in South Korea (sadly the same can't be said about their Japanese adventures) but anyway, in South Korea they are pretty much the sun...and all the other groups are tiny little planets orbiting around them. I heard Wonder Flops want to compete with them... LOL! 

It has been confirmed that 7 tracks have already been recorded and finalized. Hopefully they release an all-English track to tie down with their upcoming American debut scheduled for early 2013.

2NE1 TO ADVERTISE SOUTH KOREA'S INTEL ULTRABOOKS

Endorsements are no secret to KPop, that's actually how most groups make their bank and 2NE1 is no stranger to endorsements. They started their career endorsing the Lollipop cellphones with Big Bang, they've been advertising Adidas for an eternity now. 

This is kind of funny though, because if you watch their reality show you will see they all use Macs (Apple Computers) and iPhones, and everything else that is against Intel. This should be interesting.
