2NE1’s “I Don’t Care” stage

2ne1_20090710

Do these new songs set the stage on fire?

Making their comeback on KBS Music Bank, 2NE1 brings a fresh arsenal of songs and their newly found “feminine charm” in an attempt to wow audiences. Probably the thing I am most grateful for is that they ditched the wonky street fashion that would get them shot on real mean streets, and have embraced more toned down ensembles.

Starting off with what I find to be the weakest track off the record, 2NE1 breaks out a chair dance for the song “Pretty Boy.” 2NE1 should really stop doing chair dances because, although they put in a good effort, it feels like there is something lacking in the performance when the dancer isn’t long and limber. Can’t really complain about “I Don’t Care” because it was fairly on par with their past “Fire” performances. The use of the screen above them is a good choice to make up for back-up dancers, especially when the choreography is somewhat lackluster. We need something to distract the eye.

Check it out~

In addition to that, as they did with “Fire,” 2NE1 will only be performing once a week.

    Hmm, this dance routine seems pretty boring compared to Fire, but I still think they did great and they pulled those moves off well.

    Still hating their style but the “I don’t care” is growing on me! 2ne1 Fighting!

    How is this a comeback? They didn’t take a break or anything, just moved on to the next song.

    Otherwise, love the song! The stage perf is pretty solid, too!

    I actually like the chair dance and “I don’t care!”

  9. 11 ilovedonghae July 11, 2009 at 5:06 am

    i love CL’s new look…
    park sounded weird at the beginning

  10. 12 GG July 11, 2009 at 5:08 am

    I love, love their performance, each and everytime, they absolutely know how to ROCK the stage. I am loving everything, from CL’s hair, Minzi’s leather jacket, Dara’s cute outfit and Bom’s strong vocals and the cheoreography and the screaming fans.

  11. 13 Akamekraze July 11, 2009 at 5:27 am

    Wow! CL looks very pretty with her hair down!!!

  12. 14 silverpuk July 11, 2009 at 5:31 am

    I think they over performed “I Don’t Care”. I think it should have been laid back and not so “dancey”. The song reminds me of Lady Gaga’s “There’s Nothing Else I Can Say (Eh, Eh)”. I wish they would have just sat there and sang rather than trying to dance and sing. I knew they were going to over do this song. Bom sounded kinda bad.

  13. 15 Sidni July 11, 2009 at 5:37 am

    i really like CL’s hair down(: she looks better that way
    and they did somewhat okay

  14. 16 @@@@@ July 11, 2009 at 5:52 am

    WOW… They are great!!!! love CL’s hair!!!

  15. 17 pickuboo July 11, 2009 at 6:14 am

    AWESOME PERFORMANCE KNOWING THEY ARE NEW SINGING GROUP IN THE BUSINESS. THEY ALL LOOK VERY CUTE AND SEXY!!! VERY TALENTED GIRLS!!! DARA IMPROVES A LOT!!! GO GO 2NE1!!!! YOU GUYS ARE FREAKING HOT!!!!THE BEST!!!!

  16. 18 caroliya July 11, 2009 at 6:17 am

    HOLY COW! CL looks really pretty!

    Minzy is a really good performer. XD

  17. 19 kmusiclovah July 11, 2009 at 6:26 am

    damn this performance was hawtt!! I don’t know about you, but i actually prefer their “Pretty Boy” performance! It was effin hawtt!
    2NE1 JJANG!

  18. 20 jenvus2 July 11, 2009 at 6:30 am

    CL’s look for “I don’t care” is a lot more appealing. The hair suits her.
    Minzy is still my favorite, she’s really talented. Sandra is growing on me more too. Bom still has a great voice.
    I’m not a big fan on their choreography, but the performance wasn’t bad.

  19. 21 Evee July 11, 2009 at 6:40 am

    Sandra to the max! She looked sick!

  20. 22 kinella July 11, 2009 at 6:56 am

    oh lordy! who told Minzy to wink at the camera???
    she doesnt need to look cute because she is fierce and talented, her stage attitude is badass and cool

    who told the girls to conform to the cheesy/cute attitude most of the other girlgroups shows? :(

  21. 23 K July 11, 2009 at 7:00 am

    I don’t see tehm as cheesy and cute especially because the lyrics of Pretty Boy and IDC are not meant to be cute lol Anyway, wow the girls are HOT! CL should keep he hair like that and Dara is so beautiful! I’m tryna find flaws but the live singing sounds just like the mp3 version (I thought dara wold be weak but dang, she proved me wrong!) I love that they have partners in the pretty boy perf and the IDC — I love how they’re acting,dancing and singing! YG congratulations – the girls’ FEMININE side is truly shown. Inki is next and I can’t wait for NEW CHOREOGRAPHY every week!!

  22. 24 Fan#1 of 2ne1 July 11, 2009 at 7:07 am

    OMG CL have change her style she pretty but i sandara still be my favorite;p
    ♥ 2ne1 figthing ♥

  23. 25 ieatshoes July 11, 2009 at 7:22 am

    Whoa, CL looks so pretty with her new hair! And Dara improved a lot :] Bom sounded kinda weird, but she was still amazing, and Minzy owned. Like always.

    One of the guys at the beginning was wearing what looks like Harry Potter glasses and pink leopard print. Weird o___o

    <3 their new style and hair!

  24. 26 jen July 11, 2009 at 7:33 am

    pretty good vocals!
    i love cl’s hair down! she is so gorgeous and has charisma!
    go leadershii!!!!

  25. 27 Dara Dara Dom July 11, 2009 at 7:52 am

    what is wrong with CL’s eyes?

    is she cross eyed or something?

    her eyes move weird lol

  26. 28 juiceyrain July 11, 2009 at 8:14 am

    the guys in the first song were not pretty!.. not pretty at all! :) …lol

  27. 29 AA-CHAN July 11, 2009 at 8:36 am

    I did always wonder how the new song would work on stage because it’s a much slower tempo. It’s not a ballad, but it’s not fast paced either, so being somewhere in the middle makes it a little hard to choreograph for live performances.

    To see them come on such a long way is impressive though. They look so comfortable on stage and seem to be having a good time.

    Oh, and I take back what I said about CL only looking good in that first hair cut she had.

  28. 30 anon July 11, 2009 at 8:41 am

    the overuse of the word comeback is so annoying these days. the performances were enjoyable, though it could just be the songs themselves that i liked.. but does no one else find bom to be extremely awkward like all the time? like her lack of facial expressions, her body movement while she sings, and her voice itself often sounds like she’s straining if she’s singing & dancing at the same time. she’s obviously got the voice but i think she sounds better when she’s standing and singing a song than when she’s dancing as well. not trying to bash ’cause i think she’s got talent but i do think she’s a bit awkward.

  29. 31 asb July 11, 2009 at 9:06 am

    They are so great!!!! I really in love of 2NE1, especially to Sandara Park. They are all goegeous and fantastic!!!!! We’re hoping that you’re album will be out here in the Philippines. We are always here Sadara to support you, Go..go..go Dara!!!! Go…go…go…2NE1!!!

  30. 32 yan July 11, 2009 at 9:43 am

    I LOVE 2ne1

    HOORAY

    HOTTEST GIRL GROUP & BEST ROOKIE EVER.

  31. 33 Amna July 11, 2009 at 9:59 am

    CL looks soo prettyy!

  32. 34 shockedfan July 11, 2009 at 9:59 am

    That was great!

  33. 35 lelekidd July 11, 2009 at 10:01 am

    CL looks really pretty.

  34. 36 aginagkna July 11, 2009 at 10:10 am

    Minzy’s too young for them to be dressing her up like that.

    She should switch clothes with Dara. :I

  35. 37 gravity01 July 11, 2009 at 10:39 am

    CL’s a lot prettier with her hair down! she has a good interaction with the audience.

    i like dara’s hair here! i kind of miss her signature “broomstick” hair! hahaha! she’s still pretty as always!

    it looked like bom was already tired that sometimes she appeared awkward. i can’t blame the girl. it’s hard to dance and sing at the same time! her voice is getting a lot better though!

    i am loving minzy! she’s growing on me too! she’s getting prettier, and she has great vocals! it’s not shaky!

    CL and MINZY are total performers! :)

    overall, the group’s performance was nice. i like the PRETTY BOY part! i did not expect them to have a strong/fast choreo with I DONT CARE since it was somehow a smooth and slow tempo song. their stage is interesting!

    good luck on your next performance!

  36. 38 sweetgirl July 11, 2009 at 11:02 am

    CL is a camera hogger. hahaha.

  40. 42 Hallyudorama July 11, 2009 at 11:25 am

    They’re really growing on me. Dara has gotten better. Park Bom still looks awkward though. She seems to be uptight in her performances. Overall, I enjoyed their performances. Good job, girls!

  41. 43 kpopfosho July 11, 2009 at 12:16 pm

    could it be?! could it be?!

    are sandara and bom finally developing some stage presence??!!

    p.s. sandara’s singing IS getting better!

  42. 46 flysx3 July 11, 2009 at 12:31 pm
