2NE1’s Umbrella

2NE1's Umbrella

Anyone remember this awesome cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella" by 2NE1 earlier in the month? Well its back, but 100 times more epic.

For the Music Bank special tonight, 2NE1 has gone back to this cover, practiced it, remixed it and perfected it. Their performance was off the hook! The girls vocals were very strong and were backed up with excellent choreography. I was particularly impressed by Bom who on debut was the one with the shaky vocals, but boy hasn't she improved and now has one of the strongest voices in the group.

Just as you couldn't think their performance could get any better, the girls have then moved on to their debut song "Fire" with the same intensity that is a trademark of 2NE1's style.

P.S. Notice the girls paying tribute to Michael Jackson.

2NE1 is really one hell of a girl group. they are fierce and sexy all at the same time. the umbrella perf was dope. love the rain effects. and their shout out to MJ made me respect and love them even more. the only group that paid tribute to the King of Pop. one of the most talented and influential singer/artist of all time. 2NE1 FIGHTING!!! R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

they did a great job with umbrella and fire. I really like the way their concept is going. it’s leading more towards futuristic/fiesty/sexy. I think they’re letting 4minute keep “candy funk” lmao
P.S. a tear almost fell when CL paid tribute to MJ

@114 I’ll just assume you’re ears are not good. compared to other kpop groups out there, they have one, if not the best english (individually and as a group)..  Some have accents a little) but not to the extent that it’s “killing”....  definitely not

I don’t particularly dislike or like them. I liked Fire simply cause the song was good. But their voices are really weak and I disagree that they rocked this performance.

ENGRISH? They may not have the perfect english accent but these girls are tons better than most Koreans. It can’t even be called Engrish anymore. Of course, it might appear slurred sometimes because it’s hard to sing and dance at the same time, in heels even. To the person who compared CL to a low-class filipino comedian, you better get your eyes fixed you little twat.

Actually I am quite suprised that 2NE1 was giving a very generous budget on their performance, being a rookie and all… The performance was great so the budget given to them, they deserved it. People blaming 2NE1’s performance for what happened to other artists are the real idiots in all of this. It’s not the performers’ fault, it’s the stage crews and maintainance crews’ faults.

I cried a little when CL gave a shout-out to MIchael Jackson. RIP, MJ. And I think I love CL even more now. / Umbrella was HOT. To be honest their pronounciation distracted me for quite a while, but these girls can sing! Even Dara, whose voice was the weakest that performance, did pretty good.

they just get better an better! they may be new but they’re like seasoned pros already! and awww you gotta love how they pay tribute to MJ.. that’s really sweet of them!

i felt that the umbrella vocals were kinda messy, even though they were strong. they just weren’t properly used(?) and the lyrics were kinds weird. but i liked their outfits smile

God I love these girls, especially CL.
MJ rest in peace.
But is it just me, or is Park Bom not exerting much energy?
Whenever I look at her, she seems so…bland.
