This is a subject we're taking very seriously as moderators and admins, so please adhere to this simple rule.

Thanks.

I do not want to see the thread trashed nor do I want be receive an infraction. Neither of us do so do not post links to "BoA". Thanks.

i totally love "scream" just because of that first line. it just makes me laugh, lol. :P

i didn't even know the last thread was finished! :P

love the thread title! :love

Scream is one of my fav songs from the album

"Scream" is such a cool song. I keep playing it in loop when I drive. People do look at me funny if they're driving my way for a while, I think they recognise the tune xDD

cool thread! i don't like Scream.. maybe i'll like it more during halloween time lol

Isn't there another song to her album? "Hypnotic Dancefloor" or something like that?

Edit: Oh wait, nevermind. It's because the album tracks were out of order. Haha.

yes there is :yes

I've been listening to Scream a lot lately and it's quickly becoming my favorite.

scream was my favorite when i first heard it <3<3<3 i love the way her voice sounded~

I dunno, I think I overlooked it because the preview didn't do much for me... But now I love it :D

aH I love the name of the thread! Scream is my fave song on the album!

Scream = win.

But Hypnotic Dancefloor is better!

omg i love the title :luv2

and Scream is really good, but i like DayDream better :p

DayDream? what song is that???

Anyways, I just bought the album, and I really like it. Scream, Obsessed and Hypnotic Dancefloor are amazing IMO. I think the only song I was really disappointed with was Dress Off. Best thing though is the pictures in the booklet, they really did good to her there. Hope she releases another US album someday.

^ it;s from Anyband, where BoA was part of

ahhh, No wonder why I've never heard of it XD Man I feel dumb xD

It's the original song, in Korean. "Scream" is an English cover of it.
The original song is by AnyBand which includes BoA, Xiah (DBSK), Tablo (Epik High) and Bora. It's better IMO.

heh, i learned something new today, go me!

^ Scream was originally sang by Monrose -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJSYSHKOTKY even before DayDream, though those girls couldn't sing xD

^ Interesting! Didn't know that. :eyebrow

BoA's version is way better...

BoA on TV!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcfy_TZuf50

The interview aired recently, but I'm sure the footage is from a while ago.

That's a great video! I hope it gets her a lot of exposure! Even though her debut sales weren't amazing, if the public's interest for her goes up, the sales can as well, right? It's not like in Japan where you can only go downward xD....

Wow, I had no idea!

Wow, I do learn something new everyday.

I prefers BoA's scream. Monroses version is so it's just not that good IMO.

Monrose version is bad.. and are they like 40 or something? they look so old

Do you remember the Diane Martel version of Eat You Up?

Well, an early edit of that version has popped up.


I actually like this version better than the one the final one, but that pimple on her upper lip is distracting to me. Notice the blond wig parts:headache What was the idea behind that? A name does pop into my head but:shakehead no I don't want to go there. She gets compared to that person enough already.:yes

LOL I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AT THE BLONDE WIG PARTS. :shakehead
but the other scenes are a lot better than the original ones and she looks really really sexy

i personally dont like the american version of the EYU pv, but the blonde wig is pretty funny :roflmao

lol if some person just saw this, they would think it's a parody about american music video XD

that blond wig is just horrible >_>

that video is wrong in so many ways :no

You know who BoA kinda reminded me of?

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6721/boaheidi.jpg

That video looks so 90's...

The edited video isn't too bad, the dance moves are still good but the parts where she's just sitting around are silly.

The guy in the singlet looks a bit strange too. I think it looks very 90s too :P

The US. ver. of the PV should be left to rest in peace xD BoA's English sounds a bit better in the interview :)

which chart position is boA in Canada ?

Not really news, but I was at my local mall this afternoon and heard "Eat You Up" being played in-store at Garage. :)

I think it must've been one of those "playlist" CDs that some stores have because I didn't hear "Obsessed" after it.

Does anyone else love BoA's piercings? I think they are so cool ^^

^I think they're cool too! I'm thinking about getting piercings like hers.

^yeah me too I already have 4 of BoA's piercings
Navel
Helix
Tragus and
Conch - got it pierced last Wed ^^

that was a terrible unedited version...diane martel is known for some pretty amazing music videos...but this one is just...what was she thinking...

I only have ears pierced and that was enough for me.

I don't really wear earrings nowadays so the holes close up often, I've had to re-pierce them twice now, with studs (gross)

BoA is so damn sexy here :lech

and that wig.... yea.... something else right there :laugh

I know...I find it a shame because she did a lot of good Ciara music videos like Promise, and Like A Boy, and she did a majority of Mariah Carey music videos, I just wonder why Eat You Up ending up being one of her worst after all the good music videos she's done so far.

Awww the MTV video was cute! I love hearing her talk. :D

I had no idea "Scream" was covered though! BoA's version is a million times better! I love that song and LOVE the thread title!!! Ten points to the first person who knows where they got the "something wicked your way comes" part. And NO it's NOT "Harry Potter!" :laugh

^ Uh, Shakespeare's Macbeth?

Beat me to it lol. The witches in Macbeth were kinda interesting.

Macbeth is my favorite play from Shakespeare. ^^;;. That new EYU video is... strange. L0L. The scenes with the guy, she looked kind of awkward acting that way with him.

^ Macbeth is pretty good. :) Yeah, this version of Eat You Up is odd. The wig, the guy...just lol. On the other hand that interview was nice.

That blonde wig... eeeeeeeehh. :(

Ding ding ding!!! You win! :D

lol, these topics can go anywhere xD I haven't read any Shakespeare beyond Romeo & Juliet and Macbeth. I am still traumatised by high school projects on the work >_< School managed to destroy many things I loved =\

You really have to wonder what went wrong with this video. It's okay, the dancing moves are great, but it's an overall very lacklustre MV

well it's not like any new US fans will see it, since there aren't any new US fans, lol

Yeah that kind of sucks but at the same time is great for her considering this PV lol.

So BoA has been on a radio tour. Here are some pictures from her visit to the Washington radio station, Hot 99.5. Thanks to BJJ for the heads up.

I wonder if she knew they would take pictures of her because she's dressed more for comfort than fashion or wowing. Actually, I thought she was wearing MiChi's shirt at first, but MiChi's shirt is different.:D

^She looks so pretty and normal....she kinda looks like a korean girl from my chem class. I think I prefer her without makeup

I think that makeup rarely improves on the person unless it's super-natural looking (but then, what's the point? xD).

BoA always looks best when she's natural. She's so pretty, I wish she didn't wear it unless she was doing filming or concerts =|

adorable & hugable :D

Interview with Bunny With Fangs.

BoA has a tattoo? O.o

Wow she's so pretty when she has a little tan and all...
Hot !!

ohhh she has a tattoo? awesome. i wanna see lol :D

Aww she was so cute ^_^

I wonder where on her back the tatoo is ....?

i wanna see her tattoo! :)
i love BoA's personality x]

Awww BoA's adorable! Can't blame her for not wanting to show her tattoo to some stranger though LOL.

Ayu never show her tattoo before 2008 so BoA'll show us a day maybe!!!

Unless she tattooed some guy's name on herself.
She has really good skin. Nice complexion.

New BoA article
Also BoA and Sean Garrett are going to preform I DID IT FOR LOVE at the MTV VMAJ. I hope they really put on a show. I rarely watch the original one nowadays but the performances are usually really good.

thanks for article^^

Hopefully IDIFL performance will be worthy.

Cool BoA has a tattoo - I want one too

Okay, SM is being not very smart.

A performance of I Did It For Love. In Japan and she's supposed to be making a US debut.

That makes perfect sense.

^Well...I'm sure that want Best & USA to sell well too....I mean it IS pretty big deal...a compilation Album....

Eat you up had a decent number of downloads :)

BoA will sell more in Japan having more fans their or maybe they should promote more in South Korea since the English album is more R'n'B plus it's SM right

^me too I'll just wait for the price to go down

I bought the debut CD this week! and I love it!! I like every track on it, and my favorite is Obsessed :love I love listening to BoA in english

That is true, but she did perform a lot to promote that Compilation album she did YT Live Tokyo, She did quite a few LWT and EYU performances as well in Asia already, I think it's time for her to start promoting her album and getting her name known here in the states by more than just her fans currently.

Hi this is kinda random but does anyone need the OBI for BoA's Listen To My Heart Album? Cause I have the OBI and case but not the actual CD. I was looking through stuff that my cousins threw out when they moved. So yeah, if anyone threw away their OBI, I can mail it to you in an envelope. I also have a copy of Valenti the album without the case...its a bit scratched up. I also found BoA's Amazing kiss single in great condition. I MIGHT start a selling thread once I figure out shipping costs and stuff but I probably wont be selling for a long time because I can only except cash. Anyway, getting carried away. Just PM me if you need the OBI (although I doubt anyone would need it)

I'm so happy! My US version of BoA's come in so I can get it this week! So happy~~ ^_^ I can't wait for the shiny cover xD and my BEST&USA copy can stay back inside the nice sleeve o__O

^LOL I hope yours arrives in one piece. Mine had a scratch at the store...and a piece of the inside case fell out when I opened it later at home. I had to switch the case. x_x I seriously believe that our stuff in U.S is produced by brainless idiots. UGHHH! All the japanese stuff I bought is in almost perfect condition.

^ Well, half of my Japanese albums came cracked. Especially the round thing that holds the CD. XD

omfg that happend to me. twice.


btw does anyone know when or if I Did It For Love will be released? i haven't heard any news on it after the pv

That happens to me when I order at YesAsia.

It happened to me once, but I complained 10 times about the same thing. Now, Yesasia is kind of scared me to order stuff from them because I request an outstanding customer service and perfect quality. I don't pay for them to buy a crap.

You mean like released as a single like Eat You Up? I don't think it's gonna be released as a single. Maybe, but I don't really think it's gonna happen. I Did It For Love was sort of released to promote the album I think.

^They don't release physical singles in America anymore.

Did EYU get released in a physical version? Physical singles are really small in AU nowadays as most people buy online but I don't want them to stop forever! *_* I prefer singles to albums because I know the songs I'm getting will be higher quality than albums most times.

I hope my copy's okay! Since I ordered it through a store I think it will be ok? If not I'll ask for a discount, I also won't be "paying for a crap" xDD

so what singles have she had off of BoA?

So far just EYU. I suppose it remains to be seen if there's another single. I think IDITFL will be the next one as it has an MV :)

Although, I keep reading it as "I did it for Lulz" :thud

Where? In the dollar bin? Lol.

actually no, the only one i can think of is lady gaga's just dance and poker face right now XD
