2NE1 vs. 4 Minute

[pandatheone]

OK! so 4minute, a korean girl band has recently made their debut. Before i heard the song, saw the mv and watched their live performance, i thought they were just copies of 2NE1 (Who are so frikkin awesome and just you know.. 'POP'). But you know it turns out their song 'Hot issue' is pretty catchy. However, the MV didn't really 'POP' for me. When i saw 2NE1's debut song 'Fire' each it was like "OMG! BIG BANG's SISTERS'. I do love asian bands that aren't really -fobby sounding- when they sing in english. Cause if they were fobish, it sounds a bit too try hard to me.

Here are the Clips for your comparison:

MV

2NE1 - Fire - Space version
2NE1 - Fire - Street version

4 Minute - Hot issue

DEBUT LIVE

2NE1
4 Minute

Personally i think 2NE1 did a better job live. And i think what makes them POP is their Solos within the song. And it's all very cohesive. And i don't think another chick can compare to Minzy from 2NE1.

Maybe i'm just biased...

Moreover, SNSD's or Girl's Generation's new single is lookin pretty good.
