2NE1’s Dara prepares a special event for fans
Ngoc Nguyen on Wednesday, June 22, 2011 9:00AM



2NE1’s Dara continues to excite fans as she promotes the group’s upcoming return to the music scene. Earlier today, it was revealed that Dara had specially prepared an event for fans prior to their official promotions for “I Am The Best.”

The event, titled “Find Director Park’s MP3 Player,” will begin today, the 21st, and run until tomorrow, the 22nd. On her me2day, Dara will be posting hints that will lead to a certain location, specifically a local Apple reseller store where 2NE1’s new song “I Am The Best” is uploaded to an iPad. Lucky fans who are able to locate the iPad will be able to listen to 2NE1’s new song before its official release.

Fans who find the iPad with 2NE1’s new song should upload a confirmation photo via me2day to be entered into a raffle in which the winner will be presented with VIP tickets to 2NE1′s first solo concert.

A while ago, Dara revealed her first hint through an update: “These days, it’s a place where the best bars are at!! UV went to Itaewon, but this is the place where the best G-Dragon and Big Star-nim went to have an affair~?!?”

A representative of YG Entertainment also commented, “2NE1′s Honorary President for Public Relations Department, Sandara Park, for a long time, had wanted to prepare a special event before they would start their broadcasting activities, so together with some of the agency’s employees, they got together for a few days and threw ideas around together. Sandara Park had this event for fans to participate in, for 2NE1′s new song ‘I Am The Best,’ so please expect it.”

Exculsive review from Soompi:

2NE1: “I Am The Best”

The excitement continues as we wait for the next 2NE1 release called “I Am The Best.” Here is the exclusive written studio preview of the song by Soompi after we visited YG Entertainment to listen to the track.

It can be said that it was expected as “Lonely” has a slower style and melody, but “I Am the Best” is the other sound that complements “Lonely.” This is the sound that made 2NE1 unique and Teddy seems to work so well in producing. The beat, electronic styled instrumentals make it a true club beat. It has powerful club beats and is carried at times by the vocal beats of the members as the electronic instrumentals fade in and out.

Song Breakdown:

The song starts with a club beat and CL saying “Ne ga cheil jal na ga (I am the best),” followed by the “bum ba ra ta ta. . .” as heard in the teaser. This is brought to an abrupt end with CL saying “OMG,” leading into the song.
The song follows a verse pattern which has CL start with her “I am the best” line (sung in Korean), then Park Bom comes in with a vocal set, featuring her great, distinctive voice. Dara follows Bom’s verse with her freshness, as their voices work so well together. Just as in “Go Away,” Dara works right off Bom’s vocal sets, bringing more sweet energy. The song sounded more like the style of “Fire” than any other song although the rapping style also reminded me of “Can’t Nobody.”

After Dara’s vocal set, the beat stops but is carried on through CL’s feisty voice (this part reminded me of CL in the beginning of “Can’t Nobody”) as she uses a rapping style to lay down the vocals. Minzy comes in last with her own unique rap/singing style, similar to that of “Fire.” This vocal rotation of CL, Bom, Dara, CL, Minzy is repeated in the following verse.

Another similarity to “Fire” includes the repetitive wording. The wording/meaning is key to this repetitive style. The repeating lyrics (originally in Korean, this is translated) answer the question, “Who is cooler than me?” as it is replied “No, no, no, no, no. . . na, na, na, na, na. . .” (“na” translates into “me”). This most likely works into the title of the song “I am the Best.” The ending of the song is similar to that of the beginning as it ends with the “bum ba ra ta ta. . .” vocal beat and CL saying “OMG.”

Impression:

At first the song caught me off guard as I had listened to “Lonely” so much I was expecting something on the same level. Listening to it over and over again though brings back the style and music that is 2NE1. The song portrays every one of their characters but actually it is 2NE1’s character as a whole. Their bad girl/ cool girl image is perfectly matched with the song and the title, “I am the Best.” Of their past hits it is definitely most like “Fire.” This musical style is what is unique to 2NE1; it gives us that feeling of “I want to be them or roll with them” because it makes you feel unstoppable.

I am excited to see the MV, as both “Can’t Nobody” and “Fire” were done so well with this type of music style (actually “Lonely” was great too ^^). This is the 2NE1 style we know and love—prepare to feel unstoppable because it’s “me, me, me, me, me!”

T______T I wanna hear the full song.

[Corvina]

Bbum ba ra ta ta ta ta ♪♫

I so love it!
Lonely already is awesome as hell, but club songs with their unique style are the reason why their are my favourite (korean) group.
I already like it better than their new songs for their first album.

[JackieRos]

The only song I have liked from them is Fire.

I have to relisten to their discography (haha it's not much)

I am indeed excited for I am the best

[freedreamer]

I saw that soompi review and..it goes to show, the teaser seems to be just an opening of the song...WHICH MAKES IT EVEN MORE EXCITING

(it sucks that I can't catch the premiere tonight...seriously sad)

EDIT:
not sure how many of you guys watched 2NE1TV season
but here's a preview of one of their US debut songs

[everlastingRAINBOW]

According to YG's blog, the girls will perform "I'm the Best" on Inkigayo on the 26th!



EDIT:

Final Teaser


OMG

[freedreamer]

YES OMG LOL!!!!

edit: MV delayed by 2-3 days

[everlastingRAINBOW]

Bad news everybody....

YG's latest blog entry (which was just posted a few minutes ago) seems to say that the MV will be postponed 2 or 3 days

yg-life notice: i am the best m/v delayed
About the first broadcast…
The first broadcast for 2NE1’s new song “I am the Best” will be this week on SBS Inkigayo.


The broadcasting company in question had considered giving 10 minutes for 2NE1’s comeback stage however YG Entertainment has politely requested to only sing one song.

Even if they are only on the stage for one minute for their comeback, and even if it’s both the artist and the production company’s wish to have more time, the reason that YG has requested less time is

Rather than busily preparing several songs, we want to focus more at the end on the practice for “I am the best” and we believe that it is more important to focus on creating a stage that has a higher degree of perfection.

The Music Video Release Schedule

On the 24th at 12AM.. we planned on releasing it along with the digital song however
For the music video for “I am the best” we will have to delay the release of the music video by 2 or 3 days.

After bringing up the scale of the music video, it has become a slight problem..
Is it a fault that we were greedy and wanted to make it amazing, and thus we were a bit excessive? Compared to the music videos by 2NE1 in the past while, it cost about two times more than anything they’ve done previously.
The set and the scale was bigger than we planned for. Because of that, the time that it takes to edit the second half has increased.

We are very sorry
And we hope that everyone will anticipate and be excited for it. Thank you.
