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.

they lurv music and one of the biggest icon in the music industry is the king of pop MJ…
its a good thing to pay their tribute to him… simple and meaningful….
like the umbrella perf…. bom kinda weak in their fire perf but all kn all it was good…
too bad for the artist who got injured..music bank should be aware of their safety measure…
for sungmin and the rest get well soon

2NE1 has my respect for pulling off those dance stunts with the chairs and they weren’t even wearing flat shoes! I think they did a really good job.

Didn’t like the way Park Bom walked so slow during Dara’s part in Fire. Like duh, You’re in a performance and then you’re gonna mess up like that? Oh well, I guess she’s just tired. Compare to their other performances, Park Bom doesn’t have that much energy in this one.

Aww..

Dara! Fighting!

CL is the best in this performance, 2nd is Minji. 3rd would be Bom and last is Dara.

Both performances had minor flaws but they performed well, as if they aren’t rookies in the biz. You never get bored when they perform, unlike in the artists. 2ne1 has an amazing command of the stage, especially CL! Dara keeps on improving and Minji keeps on rockin’! Bom was quite breathy but I love how unique and distinct her voice is. I love them more for paying tribute to MJ. These girls have my utmost respect! Go YG girls! <333333

@get lost: Oh so you’re here again. It’s actually starting to become entertaining, the way you defend your idols. I guess you’re really just a passionate person. As long as you’re also a 2ne1 fan, then it’s aright. Kudos.

Honestly, I enjoyed 2ne1 more than SNSD who just rely on their sexiness. 2ne1 has the charm and intensity that other music groups don’t have! 2ne1

just read it from the other articles guys that is also posted here in all kpop i dont wanna have any comotion among those commenters that’s why i posted it here in for the upcoming commenters as well who tries to blame 2ne1..i love all the performers that’s all i can say…it’s hard to perform in fron of people and a tv.show..dara bumped on minji but see it’s not that recognizable at all coz they continue the perfs so well right? to those who are confused watch the fire perf after dara’s first pat where they are like wiping the floor hehe but the perf was good.

2NE1 and esp CL - My respect for you went higher than before! Thank you for paying tribute MJ. “Today, with all my respect to Michael Jackson, we about to set the roof on FIRE” It was so strong it gave me chills! Plus, the pin ups on each members’ outfits! 2NE1 prove the kpop industry that it’s not about the looks and cuteness.. it’s being true to your music and to yourself~

I liked the tribute to MJ at the start, that was really nice to hear. In regards to the performance, this is probably the first time I liked ALL of their looks/outfits. But oh, maybe its just me but Bom didn’t carry her ‘spark’ out on stage…like she was a little tired cause she didn’t smile as much as she usually does. Regardless, I always like watching their performances.

 
Crazy4JaeJoong's avatar

their team leader is very good in english and overall fierce…i think im starting to like her, NOT the whole group though…but she’s got a great stage presence , like she’s been doing it for years, not debuted a month ago..thumbs up for her!
