I think will.i.am's starting by giving out a little taste of what the girls can do. Anyways, I think rushing it too much isnt a good idea as we all know how hard the American market is to crack. Plus i noticed Minzy's English still needs work. I'm sure they're planning it all and taking their time with it. Right now, I'm curious to see how well this new album of his will do. Might say a little towards what America will think of the girls as well.
In the meantime however, 2NE1 just landed in New York to start their US part of their NEW EVOLUTION TOUR.  Some Pictures - http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/12...ion-photos.htm I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Newark!!

But if they are received really well, then it generates positive publicity for both Will (who would have 'discovered' them for America, so to speak) and 2NE1. Then 2NE1 can release their album over here if there is positive feedback and they do promotional events with Will for the song. How awesome would it be to see will.i.am and 2NE1 performing their song together at the MTV VMA awards or even the Grammy's? (Baby steps though, of course). I actually think this is a smarter move than releasing a full english album all at once. Look at how many Asian artists failed by using the same tactic. Utada failed. BoA failed. Se7en failed. Girls Generation failed. And the list only gets longer from there. It's a waste of money to go through a slew of producers in order to produce a full length english album only to have it completely bomb. Alright, anyway, have so much fun at the concert! Please take pics of the goodies/concert and post them here and give an account! I'm really upset that I can't go, so I'm living vicariously through you, lol. Again, have a blast, even though I know you will!  ---------------------------------------- Other good news for 2NE1: 2NE1 was voted the most popular girl group for Singapore's top Korean Artists with 46% of the vote. Girls Generation came in second with 20%, and 4Minute came in third with 13%. Thousands of votes were submitted to this poll, including those from other Asian countries, so this is a huge deal for them. Source: http://ygladies.com/news/120814news-...tistes-in-2012

I do think they would sell better if they put their ticket prices down! 2NE1 are awesome and all, but they are still not well known enough in the States and Europe to get away with such expensive tickets. =/ You pay less to see bands that ARE well known over here!

So, the TV was on at work today, and imagine my surprise when this popped up on the screen (2NE1 comes on about 7 seconds in):
It's kind of weird, because their faces are covered and it's hard to see them because it's dark. Plus, the CM places them in Tokyo, when it would make more sense for them to be in Seoul. But, it was cool to see them on an American CM! Edit: I can't get the longer version to embed, so above is the 30 sec. version. Here's a link to a longer version (1 min): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6aHP...feature=relmfu Last edited by *hearT_Place*; 16th August 2012 at 07:14 PM. |

having one or two songs on his album to see how they're received can better gauge their success in America later on. it seems smart imo...  in other news... CL rocking the hell out at NEW EVOLUTION.

Im in Newark everyone. Btw, nice fancam.... Just hate i'll have to sit through that Rihanna song. I really dont like that song. Oh well this whole thing is gonna be a blast tomorrow. ^^
Oh and concerning the new 2NE1 collab thing on will.i.am's new album, I'm thinking of either downloading the song or possibly just buying the CD to support the girls even though i really dont like BEP. |

^ To be honest, I don't care if the album flops, I just want english jams. But that's incredibly selfish of me.

I don't care about their American album. because I don't like Will am music that much, I only care about TEDDY music, and maybe G-Dragon. or TABLO. I luv TABLO music & lyrics. and I just love TABLO. but he's not that much for 2NE1

I really need to see this in London now.The only thing that irks me about Korean Tours is that they always have some American songs in their tours...I don't get it, why do they do that? If I am paying for a ticket, I am there to here their songs not Rihanna or Madonna LOL. And I don't understand why they play American songs anyway? Maybe it makes a little sense for their US tour since it's in America but I personally would rather jam with CL to remix's on their own songs, remixes you could only hear on tour with them. Dara speaking English was awesome, too. They sound so different in English, haha. But 2NE1 has the attitude to fit right in, I think.
