Asia Diva to Worldwide Diva on BoA 12th thread
 

So here it is :D

thanks for the thread :D

BoA's on one of her dancer's (from EAT YOU UP) myspace: http://www.myspace.com/kennyworm

It's Ashley's (From PCD <3) boyfriend, Kenny <3

no way, seriously? :laugh

Is that the dancer in the red jacket?

Oh look!!! The 12th thread already!!! Yaay!!!

oh its the guy from that TV show about dancers right?! It was shown on MTV in germany and I remember this Kenny guy being togehther with Ashley

Oh, so Ashley's boyfriend is one of BoA's dancers??? How cool is that!!!

I thought Ashley and Kenny broke up...anywhoozer yay for BoA, she's doing well without promotion so far, so I'm sure once she gets it, Eat You Up will be more extensive on the charts.

^ I hope so ...

yeah. eat you up + the amazing asian PV is awesome
with those BoA deserves to do extremely well

i`m so glad SM decided to use the asia version of the MV everywhere and ditch the US version :yes

well we dont know that for sure they just removed it off the page the whooe thing but the teaser is still there

i think it's safe to assume that the US version got scrapped, if their gonna play the asian version on screens in LA and NY every 2 minutes.

i think it's funny, in all the blogs i've seen the EYU video posted, if someone DARES post the american version BoA fans come flocking to tell them to put the asian version up

well, asian version = win.
US version = FAIL.

so maybe that's why? :laugh

Eat you up has dropped to #7 on the iTunes Dance Chart in the US, but this is understandable as the promotion hasn't kicked into full gear. We can expect more once it has and the physical single is up i am sure. ;)

What day is EYU gonna appear on the screens in NY, Cause I got to school in Manhattan everyday so I wanted to know when & where so I can stare at it without blinking for an hour in the middle of the sidewalk.

Edit: Oh wait I found the answer to my question
http://seoulfull.wordpress.com/2008/...la-big-screen/

no, it was confirmed that SM scrapped the US version.

I hope the album will be in Argentina's stores! haha :laugh

really? confirmed by who

SM ent.

:a random post: xDDDD

Anyone know what does mean SM ???

^SM entertainment is the the company behind BoA in America.

=_________= lol , I know that xDD , but I mean the letters S M xD

Hahha ohh ok I was like they really don't know what that is? Haha i have no idea what it stands for.

It's the initials of the founder, Soo-man Lee.

I found it ! D: (wiki rulz <3 xD)
SM - Star Museum and Soo Man :laugh xD

^^Ohh.... so that's what it stands for.... I never knew!! Thanks for the info.

What? BoA dropped to #7?? It doesn't matter. I bet it's gonna shoot up again in November!!

IS there any promotional work for Eat You Up in America? Or are they gonna make this a teaser single and pimp BoA when the album is out? Because at this rate... BoA hasnt made any real impact on anyone other than her fans that have been following her Asian career.

Thank god the music video for the American version was officially scrapped. XD I guess that's why there was a delay, SM Ent probably thought it was substandard also. D:

^ i thought it was released?
cause ive seen the US version.. and its so cheap and crap

it's easy SM - Sailor Moon
Sailor Moon knows everything even news about BoA Musci Video

Yeah it was released, but taken down from the BoA site. XD I think they will use the Asia version for international promotion now.

Lol. Yeah. BoA's record company is called Sailor Moon. Isn't that name so unique??

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

:roflmao !!! :laugh:laugh:laugh:laugh hahahah LOL

::::

I think tomorrow we will see more news

^

Yup I hope more news is released soon as well.

Right now Boa is #174 on Amazon

Shes actualy 166

^

Amazon keeps updating so when I went on she was at 174. Glad to know she moved up

EYU is at #13 on the iTunes dance charts today...

:(

Edit: Finally watched the Asian/International MV by the way. I'm so proud of BoA ^-^ I have a fear that this will attract a lot of racism though, since the song is borderline hiphop-ish and with the dancing...

But still. Still proud ^-^

Without promotion?! That's actually pretty good!!!! Just wait till November..... :lech

OMG, BOTH VERSIONS!? They must not have been monitoring YouTube's reactions that closely! I haven't even watched the "US" version because I hear it's so terrible. Lol. This is very exciting to see them take such a head-on full-force approach to BoA's debut.

I can't wait for the YouTube performance. I'm so going to be there. I hope she uses the Asian dance moves and not the American dance moves. The Asian dance moves show off her skill better.

I'm thinking of showing the american video to some people who don't know BoA and then checking out the reactions. Some people are saying that non-BoA fans actually like the American version better and I got to see that happen with my eyes to believe it!!

OMG, seriously! That's so stupid. If they actually were monitoring people's reactions and cared about her success here, they would definitely not use the "American" version. >> She's just going to get laughed at with that piece of crap.

As you were saying? why do people assume things, people post proof its so irritating.:grumpy

wow that's really stupid of them lol
well, at least they will use the good one to promote on those big screens right? no crappy american one plz. unless you show a tiny tiny clip of BoA's face or something lol

also, a short clip from BoA's first english interview
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoB-_lu2xtI

you can barely hear her. the full thing should be posted soon and hopefully we can hear better~

Barely hear her!? You can't hear her AT ALL... until the end at least. All I got from her was "Uh, this music video was shot..." Lol.

not a good move SM, but oh well. BoA looks so pretty in those interview pics, though. can't wait for the first performance!

Nice pics! :D thanks

As the youtube description states this is just someone's own copy the official video will be released soon with full sound.

CRAP. I'm from San Francisco and I can't go see her because I'm in school across the nation at the moment. =/

Thanks for sharing that SM statement. I knew that they didn't scrap that video just people assuming stuff because of comments. Can't wait to see her perform the song live.

yeah BoA is so cute in the interview pics. her hair is really nice and getting long!
i can't wait to see her perform it live too. i'm sure her dancing will be amazing

I thought she was to host the show in Japan and perform Eat you up.
http://www.sidewalkstv.com/ <- that's where they'll post the full interview once it's up.

cvan someone tell me how much BoAs first japan single sold?? i cant find it online!

^Wiki.theppn.org shows it sold 40,470, but it doesn't say the was the total reported.

^ thanx!!

omg I was just in SF and I totally missed her.

when was that interview shot?

i think i read....union square? :shrug

Has sidewalks put out the interview yet? I can't find it on their website.

I ate a donut today and said to it "I'll eat you up!"

I keep using that phrase a lot now. =D

omg it's a great song to sing to food
also if someone lowers her pitch in her voice it can be used as a scary halloween song :yes

BoA's MySpace Video

Her accent isn't bad. You can clearly understand her words. She goes a liittle fast as though she is nervous and practised but it's still a major step forward from before.

OMG. her english is really good. she has improved so much. :love

i love how her voice gets louder and aggressive when she says ' leave a COMMENT'

So cute! And so fluent! *__*

Can anyone access the link here? There seems to be a problem with her MySpace account.
Here's a link for those that didn't get to watch it. Credits to Aizmov at BJJ.

she looked really cute in that clip.

haha, i never really liked boa that much...but all this us debut stuff has started making me more interested in her asian material.

and you know...after watching the "american" version of the PV in full, i really didn't think it was THAT bad.

you should download some of her japanese and korean albums, i am sure you won't be disappointed! :yes

the american PV isn't that bad but in comparison to the amazing other one it's :eviltongu

That video really makes me excited! BoA definitely looks cute and her English is GREAT! I cannot wait for her to take over the charts!

aww, that comment was cute. she totally sounds good with english, despite the accent.

omg in the video you can almost see her butt.. i am not used 2 BoA being like this!

video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcwwUwfTCfk

Her English has gotten alot better! Go BOA!

Thanks for those photos Part of me! She looks GREAT!

Since she has always been properly dressed, I still get amazed when I see pictures like that but she is going to be 22 in a few days and I'm so happy she's not doing that adorable, cute image anymore. That black outfit reminded me of the one Kuu wore in the TABOO PV.

yeah thats what it reminded me of too!
i'm excited to see how the pics turn out

wow, sexy BoA? this should be pretty interesting, lol. she looks great.

I just hope she doesn't get sucked into the nasty corruption in the American music industry. If I find out she needs to go to rehab, I'll be seriously pissed.

wow, i don't think that will happen.

I like her wavy hair in the photoshoot but I still think she can't pull off sexy. It doesn't look natural at all but rather like she's still trying.

I'm glad she's not doing the cheesy cute thing though.

id ont liek sexy boa or cute boa i like Cool boa

I think BoA can pull off classy-sexy, but not raunchy sexy, although I don't like the latter most of the time anyway.

I'm so excited!

BoA looks really classy in that hair...which did remind me of Ayu's back in earlier months during MW promo..hahah...
i think BoA's english is great...haha.

Thanks for the video!!! Her accent's fine now. She's really been working on it. Which is great to see! :D

Well...the cool thing about Boa and the US is...if she does try to be sexy...people in the US won't know the difference :laugh a lot of people won't have pre-images of her the way her older fans do, so it might be easier for her to pull off.

more pics from look who's talking photoshoot

why is she doing this

they want to make her popular :D

WOAH
She looks so hot! @__@

wow!! she looks so beautiful *___* and different..

She does look hot, SMOKING HOT! http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/1...sebleedbq4.gif Her hair style almost reminds me of Ayu which I really like because I think it looks good on Ayu!

Wow! She looks amazing! BoA has a hard time pulling off sexy in person. But in photographs, she nails it. (Remember the Levi's ads she did?) She really looks fantastic. Different, but fantastic.

brilliant pictures. :yes the image fits perfectly with america.

Lee hyori much? =/

She looks hawt tho. Very pretty and I do like how she's stepped outta her "innocent girl/girl next door image". :yes I think I just might buy the album...*eat you up has started to grow on me* :dead2

:roflmao

I know, those pics screamed Hyori. :yes

Thanks for the pics part of Me ♥! I do love the outfit.

Is that kuu's bathroom taboo outfit? :laugh

thats what it reminds me of anyway.

edit: okay so it is. Who made that thing anyway? I want one...


I hope this works lol

The way they are styling her is just wrong. I don't like her look in these pictures and I don't find her pretty or sexy in these. BoA doesn't need to show her body to be sexy. In Korea, she wears classy clothes in photoshoots and she looks hot! But these pictures? It's just wrong.
