[BoA] Asia Diva to Worldwide Diva on BoA 12th thread

[brand new love]

she was supposed to start last week..? :/ she didn't do ANYTHING except the sidewalks thing, and i don't know anyone in the us who cares/has heard about them. hopefully she has promotion scheduled for mtv or something.

[love in music]

yeah that's really sad if the only promotion is that sidewalks thing, OMG. and with that annoying interviewer.. BoA needs some more promotion!! and fans putting up posters all across their towns just won't do!

ahh her english, lol. it's okay..kind of strange sounding
sidewalks tv looks so cheap. ew. i wish she'd have an interview with like E! or something..

I say she sounds cute Though, her accent is.... not too good.... she sounds cute! Though I'm kinda disappointed. I wanted E! or MTV or any of those other HUGE channels to interview her....

I'm not sure that huge channels are interested in interviewing a nobody. She might be huge in Asia. But in US, that's not the case.

if she's going to try to make it in the US she should just focus on that..
isn't she going to be in japan this month? that's kind of stupid..

i think they'd interview her if SM pays up. though now that TRL is no longer on the air, do they even have shows that they can interview her on anyway? they seem to spam unknown people to expose them between shows and during commercials, but it's extremely annoying, it makes me want to never listen to the songs they play again rather than look into more of the artist's music, and it doesn't seem to help any of them.

Whoever did Lady Gaga's promotion needs to do BoA's. She performed on Dancing With the Stars, Conan O'Brian, TRL and Miss America all over the summer without a real hit.

True.

There are a few things that Lady Gaga has under her belt that put her ahead of BoA though. So BoA needs to get a jump start...

Lady Gaga has:

Akon.
NY Club Scene.
Writing cred for Britney (even if the songs aren't used it still got some good news).

Most importantly: Gays. We pretty much start all trends and create a lot of celebs lol.

Um I see you guys don't know yet. The word is that the physical single was delayed. NO date set.

''The release of the physical CD of BoA's latest AMerican single <<Eat YOu Up>> is confirmed to be delayed.
If there are any more official changes, we will announced on AKPOP as soon as possible..
Thanks for the concern and we hope everyone would continue to support us.''

Really disappointed.

I think her English is great considering it's probably her 3rd or 4th language. I mean, everyone has some sort of accent in a different country. I give her a lot of credit for doing that interview (no matter how little exposure she'll get from it). Plus, the interviewer was a pretty big tool.

Delayed? Nooo..;-;

[Evolution7/4]

Well that explains the alck of promotion i'm fine with the delay if it means better success!

that was a stupid thing to say

delayed? ugh. oh well.

[hikaricore]

I agree, but delaying CAN lead to never being released...
Unless her popularity picks up,
She'll never get a chance.

[Kaiouforever]

Bah to delayed!

I heard it was delayed due to lack of success. If she doesn't do better with this single or a follow-up I doubt we'll even see the album be released.

[Luv ~Venus~]

Wtf? Another delay? Srsly, they need to admit that they are too scared that she's gonna flop with EYU. Not even UTADA had delays. She just released it and she ended up getting a club bangah. SM is kinda putting too much thought into this now. BoA's promotion has been pretty decent and imo, they have no good reason to delay it. Just IDJ the damn single already. If it fails, it fails. There's nothing wrong with try'n again.

[RyRyMini]

They can't expect her popularity to just "pick up" out of thin air though.

[Temari_2]

Delayed?! I don't want to jump to conclusions but if this physical release is delayed for more than two weeks without any official news regarding the matter we can kiss Boa's U.S debut for this year good-bye (but there's always next year). I hope she's in the studio finishing the last touches to the album. Or SM entertainment could have gone back to the drawing board about the promotion since the U.S video received such negative comments and the fans that harassed Boa's photographer on his MySpace (these little things can give SM entertainment a bad name)

[Luv ~Venus~]

^See that's what I'm saying. Them delaying the single still won't change the fact that it'll prolly flop the first time around. She still has plenty of time and a few more releases to get her popularity to be picked up.

[Beauty4123]

i guess her and SE7EN now have something in common what is up with all the delays?!
