To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.
Lupin My thoughts on Lupin. The song was pretty good, not fantastic but pretty good. The song really shined in performances, listening to it on iTunes it's meh, average. But when watching KARA perform Lupin you can tell this song was made for performances. The album sucked, Lupin (EP) is the worst KARA album to date in my opinion. Nicole wise, nothign really special happens in this era. During Honey she became very high tier and cemented that spot during Mister, here she just keeps on being an awesome performer. I liked her short hair style, I don't usually like short hair for girls but Nicole showed us she can pull it off really nicely, giving her a mature/sexy/fierce look.
Jumping Jumping...Jumping... Boy did it go wrong. lol. Alright, let's get the negative right off the way. Nicole's hairstyle, wtf? Not good. I was browsing my Jumping era folder in order to find 10 or so pictures to upload for the performances pics & GIFs sections and I had the hardest time deciding what to upload. Why you ask ? Well because most of her performance pictures during Jumping suck! A weird not so good hairstyle combined with also weird costumes and to top it all off, a song/choreography in which there's no moment she either acts cute/sexy/fierce/happy or anything else. The jumping performances had in my opinion no emotions to them. Now for the good, the album was definitely a step-up from Lupin, the single Jumping was equal to Lupin in my opinion but the rest of the songs were better than everything else on Lupin (EP).
Day 5 will go as planned and will focus on the Japanese promotions of JCL & GoGoSummer but I'm moving Winter Magic's stuff to Day 7 with the Step promotions. But just before that, Day 6 will cover one of my favorite time period, the ''After Jumping but before Step'' make sure to not miss Day 6 as I'm sure it will also become one of your favorite.

Those Nicole history posts are pretty awesome especially for some us who just started keeping up with this. I think it would be pretty cool if more of them were done for some of the other favorites here. Just to give more background history on some of the most popular people.

I think posting a few old pics is fine, but do we really need a flood of old stuff?

Think it's fine to post old stuff if the person actually has put in some work, it's not someone is being lazy and just reposting old stuff. As long as you spoiler most of it of course.

There are a few I have seen, including me. But, 2ne1 has a much larger female fanbase than their male fanbase. They use a lot of autotuning which can do well if done right, but also can be used to cover up bad singing(not to say they are bad). They aren't exactly top tier in much of anything either.
Also, they haven't done much recently. Other than Nolza, which I think was their recent Japan album, they haven't done anything big since their last Korean album was released.

I am. There aren't too many others though (compared to other groups). We mostly like to post pictures of hot girls and generally people do not see 2ne1 as hot girls. Even though I do like them a lot, and I do not think they are ugly in most pictures/videos, there are better girls to be posted.
