2NE1 I AM THE BEST on the Jukebox
2NE1's "I Am The Best" reviewed over on the Singles Jukebox. Oddly enough, several people were disturbed by the supposed lack of a chorus. I'd say Nae Ga Je Il Jal Na Ga clearly IS the chorus, while the Bum ra ta ta-ta ta ta-ta-ta ta me-and-my-gun section acts as a separate refrain; these constitute a lot more chorus/refrain than you get on "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" and "Subterranean Homesick Blues," to name two of any number of examples. And this song doesn't need any more chorus than those do. It's basically hip-hop. [EDIT: Actually "Papa" and "Subterranean" aren't the best examples, since they're both in blues form anyway (albeit idiosyncratic blues) and you don't expect blues to have choruses*; but "I Can't Stand Myself (When You Touch Me)" and "When I Hear Music" and "Spoonin Rap" and "Anarchy In The UK" (to name four songs in my all-time top ten) aren't in blues form and have far less chorus/refrain than "I Am The Best" does.]
Don't see how anyone can resist it. It's like "Whole Lotta Love"; even if you're determined to hate it, you can't stop it from rolling in and rolling you over.

And for those interested in the further adventures of Dara's hair, in their latest live appearance it looks like a freshman beanie in front and a horse's tail in back. And the group look like they're having loads of fun:

Last week Dara was wearing her intergalactic telepathy transmitter, while the crowd tried to see if it could chant louder than the band could sing:

Here they are in Japanese, except "Nae Ga Je Il Jal Na Ga" remains in Korean, and many of the verse lines become English (but they lose "billion dollar baby," for some reason):

If you get the hair right you become Dara:

Clarification
What I meant was that the crowd tried to chant louder than the band could sing (as opposed to the transmitter trying to chant louder than the band could sing).
