2NE1 released their digital single today for their debut hit song, Fire today along with two versions of the music video – Space Ver. and Street Ver.. Personally, I much prefer the Street Ver. but whichever one you choose to watch, you’ll notice that the song never really goes anywhere. Shame.
There was obviously a lot of hype surrounding the release and debut of this group and the song has suffered a little because of it in my eyes. I was definitely expecting a bit more from it. I spoke with a friend of mine last night and we both agreed that while the song has potential and threatens to be good, it never quite gets there. I like the beat and the rap is good, but it’s missing a chorus line that really grabs you. I’ll still be interested to see their performances on TV.
Street Ver.
This is my personal favorite because I kinda like the style they’ve got going. One thing I didn’t notice the first time round that certainly caught my attention when I watched it again this morning was when Minzy pops her chest out. I think it makes it worse that she’s younger than my little brother and yet she looks old enough to date me. Seeing GD in the video for a split second was good though even though he looked a bit of a ‘tard.
Space Ver.
I preferred the intro by CL in this version because I’m not a big fan of expensive cars and stuff in music videos. The Space Ver. is a bit strange but as a friend of mine said, there’s a bit of something in both versions.
