This week's Music Monday will touch you in weird places with 2NE1's "Falling in Love"
2NE1's back with their first song together in quite a long time
and it's totally different than their other bombaratatata high electric energy stuff
Here, we have a reggae inspired song with some really catchy parts
especially the Touch me over here touch me touch me over there
It has that same light reggae feel to it as Miss A’s “Breathe” and we’re totally digging it
BUUUT the video’s a bit off for us, though
It seems like they hired a whole new video staff that doesn’t really get 2NE1’s style, you know?
Their other MV sets were a lot more interesting
And the scenes of them on the “beach” kind of look like a grade 8 photographer’s background
The quick pans, the shaky camera, the awkward cuts to their butts and then the harsh zoom ins and zoom outs
It’s not the regular high quality visuals we usually get from a YG video.
I’ll tell you something that amazes me about this video
A song about girls liking boys, WITH ACTUAL BOYS IN IT!
YOU SEE THAT GIRL’S GENERATION?! That wasn’t too hard, was it?
It makes sense!
And I know some people are watching this video and thinking
OMG THE BOYS ARE SO HOT
But for me, since the hotness of the boys doesn't really do anything for me,
I'm more interested in how they play basketball, since I play basketball myself
And I'm not sure if any of you noticed, but these guys freaking suck at playing basketball.
ENHANCE. ENABLE SLO-MOTION
We've got this guy here who travels, spins, and then bonks the ball off the guy's head and knocks his hat off. Not cool.
Then we have this guy jumping in the air and barely catching the ball.
You shouldn't have to jump to catch a pass! With your hands flexed outwards in terror
And then this pretty boy dribbling the basketball with barely any balance and leather pants
WHO THE HELL PLAYS BASKETBALL IN LEATHER PANTS?!?!
Do you know how much ball sweat you'd get from that? GROSS!
Yup. I guess models don’t necessarily make great basketball players
what with their stylish clothing which is totally inappropriate for basketball playing
Yet I like how 2NE1 are looking at these guise like "OMG THEY SO HOT"
when they're running around playing basketball like 8 year olds do during recess
You didn't see the full version of 2NE1 video, which was heavily edited, but here's how the rest of it actually looked
Eh, Hey man, not me! *squeal*
You've heard of fangirls, you've heard of fanboys, well crack open a cold one, it's time for FANMAN.
That's right, it's fan man, here to talk about his fav hot kpop music videos
an you know what? I ain't ashamed, "cause real men admit, when they like KPOP."
BE QUIET! ENOUGH!
Alright. Let's get down to business. These girls are looking mighty fine in this video
CL with her tight suit
Park Bom with her mini dresses. UNGH!
And Minzy, shakin that ass
and Dara with her... aluminum... foil... shirt
That's ok. I'd throw that on the BBQ, I'd grill her up like a sweet potato, cover her in cheese and eat that. UGH! *woofwoofwoof*
BE QUIET!
That girl got the short end of the fashion stick in this video.
I mean. What were they thinking?
That outfit was not flattering at all
She's a thin girl. She can pull out anything.
But a crop top that's all baggedy baggedyy?
And a pencil skirt was just tacky!
I... I mean... [S]I don't understand... What?
HERE'S A BEAR EATING A BEER!!!!
RAWR.
2NE1!!! *woofwoofwoof*
'CAUSE REAL MEN ADMIT WHEN THEY LIKE KPOP
FANMAN HAND ME A BEER!!!!
Hockey (?)
This was a pretty lighthearted dance that matched the summertime reggae kind of feel of this song
Lots of hip wiggling and hand grabbling
Is grabbling a word?
All of which I feel are dance club approved moves
Except for that one part that just felt like it came out of no where…
Oh you know the part I'm talking about…
As for the English of the song, I’m giving this a...
5 out of 5
It’s CL who has most of the English lines, and her English is always perfect...
BUUUUUT did anybody else notice that subtle jab they took at 4Minute?
Oh yes. She says at the end of her first verse:
“Can’t nobody stop the fire let the haters sit and stare”
Now... Does that remind you of anybody?
Yeah, the club is gettin' ugly, I don't care. Can't nobody stop the fire let them haters sit and stare
OH NO SHE DI-INT. It’s on! 4Minute vs 2NE1 FANWAR. Let's do this!
Last week we put up 4Minute vs 2PM for the sexiest butt rub dance and
2PM won more than 10 times over. 4Minute got 140 votes. 2PM, over 1,500. Which...didn’t look very good for 4minute
This week we’re putting 2NE1 against Sistar for the best Beach Loving video
Both about loving, both with beaches, both with girl groups.
Both Korean. Both, also, have hidden bears.....
SHUT UP! DON’T TALK. DON’T SAY ANYTHING. JUST REVIEW JUNSU SO I CAN GET INSTANTLY PREGNANT
But wha...
NO BUTS! IF YOU DON’T REVIEW HIM NEXT WEEK I WILL FLAY YOU FOR 17 YEARS NONSTOP
...oh. So, to prevent that from happening, vote for Junsu
