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.

yes..gas masks.. lol.. weird.. but i find it cool! but back up dancers are hardly noticed eh? even for the Umbrella perf. they actually look like a bunch of CLs Minzys Daras and Boms to me… anyway, as i was saying, u can hardly notice back-up dancers coz the girls are fierce!!!!!!!!!!!

While watching this on TV I was glad to see the tribute to Michael Jackson. Like the shoutout too from CL.

But overall, this performance was better than their radio one. Though I still think that this song should only be sung by Rihanna. She has this tone that works with the song, unlike many other singers that don’t. I’m not saying they don’t sing bad, but this song just wasn’t in their style (vocal wise).

I actually don’t like this performance as much as previous ones. I keep feeling like they were shouting their lines and moves…and they’re just too fierce to have to resort to that. I also didn’t like CL’s diaper suit. Here’s to them coming back stronger and better next week.

<3 2NE1

I wouldn’t put this in my favorites’ list. I can understand, though, because they are still new. They can definitely still improve. They have the charisma except maybe for Bommie (during these stages, at least). Is she sick or something? My love for CL is growing and Dara’s outfits are all the best! LOL at the Pokwang thing. Yeah, CL does look like her in a way but there is no comparison. CL is a really talented performer and Pokwang is a comedian. Think of hosts in Korean variety shows and you would know what I mean. I love the beginning of Fire but they do not have a lot of energy in this performance. Tired much? Maybe they weren’t feeling it because there are no loud chants, seeing that the place is filled with SNSD fanboys. Love SNSD, though. All girl groups are <3. smile Also, the rain part in Umbrella was unnecessary and their vocals and dancing were all over the place. T_T

I loved their performance!! It was off the hook! I’m really happy that the girls paid tribute to Michael Jackson. It shows just how considerate they are. Their Umbrella performance was cool! I loved how the remix started and the rain just came on. That was totally unexpected and very COOL. Their outfits for the performance were sexy and it made all of them look fine as hell even though they were all barely showing skin. That to me so so so COOL.

 
Kp_poine's avatar

I wish the Fire performance was better because the shout out to the late Micheal was something worth saving, but.. didn’t anyone else see how Dara and Bom kept messing up? What the hell.. like it started after Dara’s part in the song, and then they just kept messing up on parts.. ugh. Also in the umbrella performance, they did better but it was great at all.. mm the only thing i liked was the remix at the end.. but they didn’t do a dance break to it so it was kinda wasted standing under water…. mm :/
