(in defense of) Ugly

I know it's been a while since this song was released, but I just read through the comments on the Omona post for it. And to be honest I found the comments to be more disappointing than anything else ( Read more... )

music, *fandom, 2ne1, kpop, rambling is what i do, !public, alternative productivity

I think part of what i honestly don't like about the song, is the singers themselves, which is mean but on some level i can't connect to it, on the level i probably SHOULD because it's a group of people i can't really connect with? idk, it's a shallow statement, but 2ne1 is a group that i honestly just understand, because i liked their earlier music, and then just got turned off almost immediately when the route they ended up taking seemed somewhat the same (and i'm sure you've heard it, autotune, etc ( ... )

LOL omg that's horrible but I agree, I didn't like I'm the Best at all, too much auto, not enough tune. And I loved Lonely, and actually Ugly feels like a cross between Lonely and I'm the Best. Like, Lonely's musical style and I'm the Best's message. Well anyway. Really?! I loved the start of this song...I can practically sing it already. But then again I had this song on for like 3 days on repeat so maybe I'm biased. Yeah but tbh I didn't like the lyrics to the chorus either. Too many repetitions of "pretty," which in itself isn't even a powerful word.

I'VE BEEN AWESOME, BACK FROM CANADA AND I REALIZE HOW MUCH I LOVE THE STATES. What are prelims? You're in school already? I don't start school until the end of August...and omg I'm gonna be a senior I'M SO OLD. And you are too, right? lol it's okay, I've been so mia lately.

i'm the best just annoyed me to bits. i got annoyed when they had like 3 promotion songs before as well (during can't nobody times), because i find it redundant if all 3 songs aren't particularly stand-out-ish. like i said, i honestly don't like the route they've been going in, with autotune, so i'm pretty much just skeptical of anything they put out now. SO JUST ME, disappointed with their latest style and such. pretty is not a powerful word at all. it's about the weakest way to describe a person, let's be honest HAHA :P ( ... )

Yeah, I didn't like how they didn't pay enough attention to one song. I mean, I get that they wanted to show all these different sides to them...but...that's what a career is for, isn't it? 8I;;; I don't mind autotune, as long as it's tasteful and used for special effect or the concept, rather than to mask the fact that they can't sing. Which they can. So I'm alright. Yeah. Pretty is just...a weak word...no excuses for that ( ... )
