[2NE1 - '너 아님 안돼 (GOTTA BE YOU)' M/V] Review

I have liked  2NE1 since the song Fire and absolutely love that they have been around for five years. So on their third release off their new album they slow the tempo down a bit. I feel a little En Vogue feel with this song. If you are too young to remember En Vogue they were a all girl singing group in The nineties. A lot of what the Girl groups do in Korean Pop are a copy of the girl groups like En Vogue and Spice Girls. Let's begin analyzing this song and videos and then you guys tell me what you think?

Music

This opening is sad it reminds me of Sunny
  I have to say I really like the opening riff in this song it has a cute mix with funk and soul.It reminds me of Girls Generation Opening for Gee. The deep voice technique is neat. I am not too crazy about the opening singing. I guess she is rapping and I guess it is all right.She acts so mean and I really do not feel the conflict that is she is suppose to present to us. Then the song changes and has this unique chant you hear a marching drum sound in the background to remind us that there is this war inside of her. The chant is a blend of 2NE1 beautiful voices together. The music changes the third time and we have a 2 step Disco cha Cha feel. I guess here we have to feel that she does not change her mind that it ain't over til its over. Creatively this music is awesome it has a lot of changes but in my heart I doubt I would shuffle through my music to sing or play this song unless I was in a conflicted relationship like this person is in. The music is great though it is just not what I am looking for in a hit Like 2NE1's Fire or their I am the Best past but you cannot thrive on Hadcore beats alone you need to be able to have a diverse range and 2NE1 has proven themselves.

Video

I will change for you Black and White man
 The video has bright colors but not enough to make you vomit. This has been a stay in the music video world since Lionel Richies' All Night Long. The thing you will notice is that the guy is effected in black and white and I guess that is to represent that without her he has no color and I may be right in this because at the end she turns to Black and white as well. Is that to represent that she is willing to change for him? She is saying "hey babe I may be all color but I am willing to be Black and white for you" In one scene you will see one of the members actually look like she is turning away from money slowly. IS she she saying that she is willing to give her career up for Black and WHite Man? I do not Know. You decide. The Bunny's and the girl that is not a bunny represent to me to remind us that there will always be someone special in our lives. Bunnies are known for one thing and that is there ability to procreate. When we see her looking different from the bunny girls, I think she is letting us and Black and white man know that love is more than just Procreation. Of course we see Car Wash sad girl to remind us she is sad and the nice car she is washing herself with does not bring her happiness. She needs more she needs Black and White Man. There is nothing I think visually great about the video except the maze sticks with me in my mind and I think we have all felt life and love is a maze. You guys tell me what you think at the bottom in the comment section.

Lyrics

 This could be any heartbreak pop song as you can tell with the opening rap like I said earlier does she have to really be this mean?

I don't want a new meeting for some reason
I still hate you a lot
A meeting that was like destiny
and now became like strangers
You left and your scent is still around


Screw your mOney! I need Black and White MAn!
 His scent is still around you think men would pick up their dirty clothes after a breakup but no! I never will understand women they love pretty scented stuff and date something as smelly as a man in fact they are attracted to stinking men.I know that is not what she is talking about. She is obviously pining for the man and still can smell him. I have been there I loved a girl so much that I do remember her smell. I had a girl I liked a lot worked at a bakery and she smelled so good and I think it was the Baked goods I smelt but I really wanted to package that smell and sell it. On her it smelled like heaven. I think that is what she means. In the Song 2NE1 hates this guy for causing her to love him so much.



We used to be all turnt up
We became further apart
You said it wasn't true but just wait
Love’s reversal
I shout it today
Let’s go like how it used to be
Rewind forward
XO like the beginning
 
 Apparently at one time this couple was an item. He played with her heart. Of course like it is in real life unfortunately. She is still in love.Do I hate him for playing with her heart? Yes I do. Should she Pine after him or try to win him back ? No. He did her wrong hate him for doing wrong simple as that. The reason you want him back is for your selfish desire not for true love. You want him back maybe because you are lonely. You feel insecure about not having someone. It might be because he kissed great. I like those things but those are not always the best things to make a secure and long lasting relationship.

It's Me again. I do Not Know if your message Thing is Broke
It ain't over til it's over. My english teacher would kill me for saying that but unfortunately we have American Pop music to thank for ruining the English Language. I hate this saying I really do. It is when I would label a Girl crazy. If any girl said this to me. I would run away . I would hide my car because I know she is about to write on my car with a key in it that we are to be forever in a creepy girl kind of away. You really do not need to go on any further reading the lyrics there is nothing special in these lyrics the usual Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus Break up type song. She repeats that she hates him because she is in love with him.




Even if your love destroys me and hurts me
You're the only one for me
My love starts and ends with you
Waiting for you in this spot

 Well that is a bit creepy to say the least. I guess I will let you look at the lyrics and you tell me what you think.
  I don't want a new meeting for some reason
I still hate you a lot
A meeting that was like destiny
and now became like strangers
You left and your scent is still around
We used to be all turnt up
We became further apart
You said it wasn’t true but just wait
Love’s reversal
I shout it today
Let’s go like how it used to be
Rewind forward
XO like the beginning
I hate myself for not being able to forget you
I try to forget but I can’t every day
It’s gotta be you
It can’t be the end
It ain’t over til it’s over
It ain’t over til it’s over
It ain’t over til it’s over
Even if your love destroys me and hurts me
You're the only one for me
My love starts and ends with you
Waiting for you in this spot
Gotta be you No
My one and only oh oh oh
Gotta be you No
Next to me it’s gotta be you
Put me back in the jail that is you
A reality without you is cruel
Even if it hurts like I want to die, I don’t care
I’m a fox so I have nine lives
You’re a wave that blows me over 100 times
I’m okay I’m desperado in the face of love even if it hurts
No matter what people say
I don’t care about anyone
Since the song we danced to together hasn't ended yet
I yell in your direction
Let’s go like how it used to be
Rewind forward
XO like the beginning
I hate you for saying it was the end so coldly
I try to erase and erase you but I keep drawing you
It’s gotta be you it can’t be the end
It ain’t over til it’s over
It ain’t over til it’s over
It ain’t over til it’s over
Even if your love destroys me and hurts me
You’re the only one for me
My love starts and ends with you
Waiting for you in this spot
Gotta be you No
My one and only oh oh oh
Gotta be you No
Next to me it’s gotta be you
I think of you even when I close my eyes
Each and every one of your facial expressions
You’re my first and last love, don’t say good bye
Even if your love destroys me and hurts me
You're the only one for me
My love starts and ends with you
Waiting for you in this spot
Gotta be you No
My one and only oh oh oh
Gotta be you No
Next to me it’s gotta be you
If you like this Blog let me know. I am going to do another review. Overall this is a creative song with not so original lyrics. It will be one that I will forget but I think girls and boys will like it for identifying with them about how confusing love can feel like.
