I Love You sounds really good! As expected, I like the verses more than the chorus, but I think the song is really good as a whole. :D I still get Hate You vibes from this song, but I don't mind.

Not Fade Away 4th July 2012 05:59 PM

Wowwww I LOVE the new song!! Thanks so much for the download! And that MV teaser is making me really excited to see the full thing. The girls look fierce!

Corvina 4th July 2012 06:08 PM

Thank you!

I don't know if I like it.
It's so laid back for them and I do feel there's something missing at the moment.
Though it is relaxing to listen to.
Maybe it will change with some more listens.

They are American. I guess they must be collaborating with them as a promotional thing for their world tour?

I've always wanted to buy violent lips, but they're pretty expensive.

^ omg, the I Love You cover is so gorgeous! I actually like it better than the original one.

blackmage 7th July 2012 01:23 AM

Those covers are reallllllly awesome!

I just realized they're coming to L.A. in August the same night AI is having a concert.... now if I had the money I'd probably go see 2NE1 since I'm more familiar with their discography but the cheapest ticket I could find was $219!!!! @_@;;

Luckily with their popularity, they'll come back :) I have to see them once if at all!

ayurocks20 7th July 2012 01:54 AM

2NE1 has announced they are releasing an English version of "I Love You". They'll probably release an English version of the M/V for it as well. Hopefully it will be released soon.

I'm pretty sure there's going to be an English version of the album this year as well. We'll have to wait and see.

I really like it. It's made me like the song a lot more. Is it just me or does that thing of them running past the red wall never happen? Unless I'm an idiot and just didn't notice haha.

EDIT:

DAMN YOU!!!!!! XD

ILoveGeniuses 7th July 2012 07:36 AM

Ive been running around dealing with comments and people requesting to join my group on facebook so much since it released that i havent been able to watch it myself yet. -_-

Thank you so much for sharing the news! I'm so happy to hear that the song will be released in English as I think it will translate nicely. Although they have released an English version of a song in the past, I hope that this and the fact that they're going on a world tour is an indication of an English album release soon! I'm also looking forward to an MV for it!

Thank you so much for posting the video! The girls look absolutely gorgeous and their fashion was nothing less than flawless! The song has really grown on me after watching the video and I really appreciate that they have chosen to reinvent their sound for this album. I'm looking forward to their next song and video but I will definitely be listening to this one for a long time!

ILoveGeniuses 7th July 2012 02:47 PM

I'm honestly thinking that they might be selling the new album at many of the Global Tour stops. <3 ^^

This would be a wonderful idea as it would certainly make the album more accessible to their international fans who are attending the concerts! I remember that they said that they will be releasing singles every 3 weeks so I'm curious as to what the actual release date for the album will be now.

ILoveGeniuses 7th July 2012 03:06 PM

I want this theme in a wallpaper for my desktop(1366x768)!!!!!

Also, I want the ringtune SOOOO bad!!!

They haven't officially announced a change in the album release date but they did say that they were following the release style of their 2nd mini-album which would mean that they were going to release an album after all the singles were out. And depending on how many songs that they plan to release, it could very well be pushed back that far. That's why the tour setlist they've released thus far contains practically the same songs that have already been performed on their last tour besides this new song. I'm sure the news songs are going to be added once they are released but I really think they should have gone on this tour after the album was released in order to have a setlist that had more newer songs than old ones.

I agree. Just if it's a mini it'll be like October. If it's a full album we could be waiting til like mid Spring next year. -_-

Over all, I've been wanting a full album for a long while now, but I don't wanna wait that long. Also, they talked about making a US debut in 2012 this year, but I'm guessing it'll be pushed back with everything else that's going on. :(

Btw, I haven't seen the set list yet. Where can I find it?

AyusakiFan 7th July 2012 03:54 PM

The news was released on YGLADIES regarding the setlist and according to CL, it's basically going to be the same as last years. The official setlist isn't out (I'm sorry, I had it mistaken as the new setlist but they just reposted last year's setlist):

Quote:

“We held our concerts last year and since then we’ve only released one new song, ‘I LOVE YOU.’ Since the setlist is going to be pretty much the same as last year, we’re doing some remix for all songs except our latest love tune,” CL said.
I'm happy the songs are getting remixes but I stil would have preffered that this tour happened after the album. Hopefully they'll stick to recording the final tour date for a DVD and the setlist will include more newer songs by the final leg.

I'd prefer a more louder part of the song and no more than 30 seconds long. I just need it loud enough that i can still hear it in places like a busy mall or over loud traffic. Oh and it needs to be an mp4 for my phone to let me set it as a ringtune. Thanks SO Much!! ^^

In the interview, CL specifically targeted her comment towards US and Japanese singers which seems quite unwise as these are the markets that they want to sell their music in. Even if she felt this way, I personally don't think that this should have been stated in an interview as they have worked with US and Japanese artists. Just because US and Japanese artists have a different work ethic than Korean artists doesn't make them any less passionate about their music. To be quite honest, people could also feel the same about Korean artists as they tend to have less control over their image and music (most of them don't write their own music and the companies they work for tend to determine their image) but even then, that wouldn't make them as a whole less passionate as the amount of passion a person has towards something is more of an individual thing than something that could be summarized about a whole country. Overall, the comment comes across as a bit snooty and insulting.

Agreeing with you here completely. She's been working with Will.i.am and they did that song with m-flo to just name a couple. She's being very insulting to these people who are trying to be friendly and work with them. Even will.i.am has been working on helping them prepare to debut in Europe & America. Also, he's not a singer, but Jeremy Scott loves them and is doing a lot for them all as well.

Btw, where is this interview? I cant find it.

Heres the link to the interview:

http://ygladies.com/news/2ne1/120707...orld-tour-2ne1

It's the answer to the question "Why do you think foreigners like 2NE1 & Kpop?". To be honest, I find it to be quite strange that she feels that this is the biggest reason why people like 2NE1 and Kpop (since she chose to emphasize on that point). I think most foreign kpop fans would just say that they like the way the music sounds as their top reason moreso than the artists are passionate.

“The passion for music that Korea has cannot be easily found anywhere else. As compared to singers in Japan and USA, our (Korean) singers are more passionate. 2NE1 has been mixing eastern and western genres of music. The trot melody (that I Love You has) is one of those efforts.” (CL)
I find it just a comment showing pride for Korea, rather than her distaste for Japan or the US. :) It's not the most politically-correct thing to say, but she said her opinion honestly and I don't think she was really meaning it to insult.

many people have been raging already and I felt it was a kind of discrimination. probably if it had been said a bit differently it could have passed unnoticed. but it's also a kind of disrespect.

like with Kuu scandal, so many people can interprete it for a very bad way

:yes
There's Japanese artists i enjoy too and some of the ones I do admire just as much as I enjoy 2NE1, so it upsets me to hear CL say that.

jewelbox 8th July 2012 12:57 AM

I don't see it as a insult either, and I can agree at least about US

I'm sure she didn't intend to insult anyone but I can definitely see how it could be perceived that way and unfortunately, it seems as though many people have taken it that way from what I've read on various forums (I think some of them are going a bit overboard with their comments though by insulting her looks, etc.). She could easily show pride for her country without specifically pointing out or making a comparison to other countries. Had she not even said that second sentence, I think she could have gotten her point across without making anyone feel that she was being negative towards US and Japanese artists. Overall, I don't think that she had malicious intent with her statement but she'll have to be careful with her wording in the future as sometimes how you intend for things to come across doesn't always translate into how it could be perceived.

I just want to say that I'm a little disgusted at the fact that NUMEROUS sites calling themselves "2NE1 Fan Sites" are offering free downloads of "I Love You"... the girls worked so hard on that song and all their songs... If someone's going to call themselves fans... then they'd purchase the song to support them. The song costs $2 and it's on pretty much all iTune stores... It just... grinds my gears XD

ILoveGeniuses 8th July 2012 05:19 AM

^I'm not going to buy all the singles when ALL of them are coming out on ONE CD eventually. I'm just listening to it through youtube until the album releases.

adantatu2 8th July 2012 06:03 AM

I like american, japanese and korean music. Every single artist or group is different, i don't think you are better because you are korean or japanese.
Cl you said something really bad, you should avoid the comparison between countries, because your fans could be hurt and pissed.

i agree. :) she definitely could have worded it differently though. i can see how someone could pull something insulting out of her statement, as alot of people have unfortunately. it's nice to see that she's proud of her country and is willing to speak honestly about it though.

I think it's terrible that self-proclaimed 2NE1 "fan sites" are distributing a song for free that's available for purchase worldwide on iTunes. I've come to expect this from other sites but not fan sites. They should be at the forefront encouraging fans to support the artists by purchasing the song or waiting to purchase the album digitally or physically when it comes out which will contain the song. Fan sites and fan forums typically discourage this type of behavior especially if it's mainly dedicated to a specific artist so I'm surprised to hear that it is so common in regards to this single.

AyUta 8th July 2012 08:41 AM

I'm in love with the new song :luv2 And I get to see them for the comback stage on inkigayo my tv! We just recently moved and we got an upgrade to our comcast channels, and i found that we get mnet channel! i believe they show all of the music shows on that channel right?

Corvina 8th July 2012 10:41 AM

The new MV is gorgeous!
Great setting, styling and colouring.
Minzy is my fave here! :heart

Oh CL... comparing is always a dangerous thing, especially about countries.
I don't like how she worded it as well, though she probably didn't mean it that hard.

AyuHamasaki01 8th July 2012 11:10 AM

Their comeback stage is just epic




I do feel sorry for the parrot though...

Corvina 8th July 2012 11:30 AM

Poor birds, couldn't they just let them out?
It was a great performance though, great stage.

jewelbox 8th July 2012 11:51 AM

I want more BOM :D

ayu_ready? 8th July 2012 01:23 PM

what I don't like about the statement,also,is that she contradicts herself. earlier she said she felt the language didn't matter, if music can connect people

daybreak123 8th July 2012 03:10 PM

I think it was really stupid from CL to say something like that, especially since 2NE1 has worked with people from Japan and the US. :/ Yeah, she probably didn't mean to insult anyone, but I don't think she should have made the comparison.

I totally disagree with her, you cannot really say one country is more passionate about music and another.

and just saying - there are singers outside the pop industry, too...

And aww, I wanted to see the perfomance but it's been blocked already...

panda♥ 8th July 2012 03:20 PM

better quality of their performance @ Inkigayo i think. ^^


loved it. they all look so mature tbh lol.
CL's got some serious attitude goin' on. ;x

daybreak123 8th July 2012 03:39 PM

^ thanks so much for posting another vid! ^^

I loved the performance, but I seriously don't get why those poor birds were there... Totally unnecessary and not cool imo. :/ Otherwise the stage was really nice and the girls did a good job with the performance.

AyusakiFan 8th July 2012 05:32 PM

Thanks for reposting the performance as I too missed seeing the first one! The performance was awesome and I really hope that the intro is on the album (I'd love for it to be a full song but that's probably unlikely). Although I don't love "I Love You", it's grown on me since the first listen and the performance of the song takes it to another level for me. The girls and setting look beautiful. The birds and the setting matched the theme of today's stage but I did feel quite sorry for the the birds, particularly the parrot who was on CL's shoulder for the introduction. I think fake birds would have sufficed in the water and the parrot was a bit unnecessary. Anyways, I can't wait to see their next performance!
