CL revealed to have returned to Korea + in final stage of U.S. debut preparations

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

2NE1’s CL has returned to Korea after preparing for her upcoming U.S. debut as a solo artist!

Her agency YG Entertainment rep stated on the 10th, “CL, who departed for the States on January 13, has returned to Korea yesterday (9th) after working on her U.S. solo debut album there… CL, who visited the States for the second time after her visit last year, started a music camp in LA under Scooter Braun‘s support for the past month with local, talented musicians for her debut-album production…. Her album has been completed, for the most part, in the States.

CL will stay in Korea, and make plans for her U.S. solo debut and MV filming, put finishing touches on her album, and more… She is now in the final stage of her album-production process for her U.S. debut.”

I'm excited for her filming the MV but I'm scared that it will be like TBF...

whatever happens imma support my Queen <3

also OP i have doubts it will be similar to TBF because GD and Taeyang aren't involved.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

oh I hope they aren't popping in for a cameo

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

omg could you imagine? no i hope CL has more sense than that.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

I hope so but I can see YG thinking this is a way to promote YBGD in the US and I fear that it would be a second Dirty Vibe where CL is amazing but then there is GD ruining everything

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

LOL YG is an idiot if he thinks YBGD's shtick would work outside of Asia. CL has a chance to be successful and i'll cry if anyone ruins it

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

IA but we know for a fact that he is an idiot so I'm still praying for the best here

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

like WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO SHOOT IT IN KOREA!!!

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

hopefully it's just so she can have cute korean babies in it like she did for TBF video.....

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

or Kwon Twins! ok I want the kwon twins in this mv now lol

[adenar.livejournal.com]

prayer circle for the only cameos to be 2ne1 themselves (oh god tho what if they throw in psy)

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

The perfect TBF version(it exists in my head) have 2ne1 members in the scene that the others in

Idk if Psy being there will benefit CL tho

[adenar.livejournal.com]

i still remember that magical little performance they did one christmas eve/day when all the girls were onstage for tbf and they all joined in and minzy did a cute lil dance break and even tho i dislike the song it was wonderful.

and yeah i don't want that to happen either but i still have no real vision of how they're going to do this so i don't know what to expect.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I feel like I might just skip the MV (just in case)
I'm very excited for her album though

[adenar.livejournal.com]

i'm excited that it's really here and happening
i'm not really used to these updates-that-are-actually-updates-and-things-have-been-happening from yg artists

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

all I can think is

"please don't flop, please don't flop, please don't flop!"

[dickslikejesus.livejournal.com]

I just want the song to be decent. I really appreciate CL's voice on record (Someone needs to tell her to stop just telling live it ain't cute anymore) and I think she has a nice skill set now. It's just a matter of her utilizing it in a way that the masses won't find offensive which is really damn hard in this day and age.

tbh I don't even have faith she can do it, but I hope she surprises.

mte.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

I think CL doesn't yell as much now
like if you see NE tour and then AON you can see she tuned it down

[dickslikejesus.livejournal.com]

Her performance video for AON is full of more of her yelling imo. She has turned down a bit from the first tour, but she's still yelling.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

idk I only felt the yelling in Crush the rest of the tour is fine and the japan one is even better so I think she is learning?

[dickslikejesus.livejournal.com]

The video that is on YG's youtube of her performing MTBD sounds like yelling to me still. I agree she's getting better? But she's still yelling imo. I love her really, I've stuck up for her a bunch, but I do think she yells too much live. She gets excited, I understand, I just wish she'd hold it together live a bit better.

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

idk but when i saw her live during yg fam here in shanghai, she sounded really good - even though she did yell a few times, it still sounded good to me

[dickslikejesus.livejournal.com]

Maybe when you're there and in the experience of it it's different? I heard the same from the people that went to the 2ne1 shows in LA and NY, but when you are removed from it and watching her live I think it's a bad sound? Watching her live MTBD performance she gets to yelling a bunch and I don't think it sounds good. At least not to me personally.

[szhuns.livejournal.com]

i don't think it's the same type of "debut", i think i just means that she's releasing a single/album in the united states.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

I think she will wait to release her solo single after her collab with BEP or so I hope coz it will at least give her exposure

[szhuns.livejournal.com]

true, that's probably her best bet because hopefully gains some public recognition from the collaboration to generate interest on her solo. i hope she succeeds, though you never know with the western market.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Even if it IS like TBF, it's not like it'll hinder the song's chances of getting popular. Remember, besides the language, there's nothing different about Kpop and Western pop. All the offensiveness and cultural appropriation is still there...lol.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

yeah but I still don't like TBF video so I hope not

[dysphoriia.livejournal.com]

music wise, i have high hopes and am looking forward to it. as for making it in america, that's a different story.

[llamadistrict.livejournal.com]

cant wait bbygurl

[veryimportantu.livejournal.com]

Wishing her the best of luck and can't wait to hear what she's been working on!

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

Well, she seems to be working with some relevant people, so I'm excited. I don't think she'll get mainstream popularity (though I could be surprised), but I think it's very possible for her to get a niche/indie following. We'll see if Scooter Braun gets her radioplay.

[teahearts.livejournal.com]

wishing her all the best!

[eyryg.livejournal.com]

I hope she has a house of blues tour after her debut and bring along 2ne1 😶

[kayleen-san.livejournal.com]

I am so excited about this, it's not even funny <3

[aaalove.livejournal.com]

So basically we're never getting that album is what you're saying.
