Uh, as long as they get paid they really won’t care how the song does.

Support BoA. And good luck!

Thank you for saying something more accurate about BoA.
The above post writer isn\’t asian, I\’ve seen her before. But I will tell you that I am Asian, these are only truths.

BoA is like marshmallow in a pool of hot chocolate artists here. :)
She pops out, sure but that\’s because she pops out also in her own market back home.

The reason BoA is featured on RAPUP! magazine is because she has alwasy been a fan of Hip Hop and RNB and integrates this into her style of music, more like how Usher would.
It is .

It is not blind fandom when an artist makes 7 consecutive no.1 albums It isn\’t just the music she produces, but also having a clean image while many artists her age have already hit rock bottom , rhymes with Fears? Sure I love that singer too, but we have to learn from people who end up that way. One has to have a clean reputation for a long period of time to to be an ambassador to, when she became ambassador of Health for Korea.
To conclude blind fandom, surely not every song produced by BoA is A material but I\’m certain out of all the CD\’s I\’ve listened to the proportion of listenable tracks are hits compared to super famous artist that I own with only 3-4 good tracks per album.
Anyways she\’s hardworking because she has 15 albums in only an 8 year span, not including all of the other collaborated songs she\’s had.

Please filter out extreme fans and give her out a try without any racism and have an open mind.

I put up this article in my own words at my site and I was proud of her strides in the American market and the fact she\’s crossing barriers with HIP HOP. I know the fans for BoA haven\’t opened for Hip hop as much and I hope we all can give each other a chance.
Thank you for reading.

I love Rap UP magazine!(back to reading about Kanye West)

@mic… OF COURSE the team behind BoA wanted to use Western producers for her songs! Isn\\\’t that the market she is targeting? It has nothing to do with talent or ability; it has EVERYTHING to do with a smart marketing strategy and familiarity with the target demographic. Do you think if Beyonce decided to stop singin in the US and go debut in China that she would use Sean Garrett as a producer? No. Her management team would find someone from China. It\\\’s only natural to work with people who are familiar with the market that the artist has to deal with.

I\\\’m not an insane BoA fan blindly worshipping her. I\\\’m not even Asian, just a fan of music… regardless of what country it comes from. Yes, I\\\’ve been following her career since her debut in Korea, because I was ASTOUNDED that someone so young was taking on such a huge burden. Then she moved on to Japan and had greater success there. She sold millions of albums and singles with songs in four different languages and was awarded as \\

Whether or not BoA released bubblegum pop in the past is irrelevant now (I admit, some of her old songs make me laugh). But does anyone remember some of the first songs Britney Spears released “Dear Diary”, “Lucky”, “Sometimes”? Now listen to her music, it’s a completely different genre. Compare “Gimme More” or “Womanizer” to “Oops I did it again” and you would think it was a different artist, a different genre. Singers grow older, mature, switch genres, evolve.

Not to mention that the success of a singer in the US is pretty much solely based on the team behind them (especially in the pop and r&b markets). Do you think Britney, Christina, Beyonce, Rihanna etc. write their own music? No. But they get great song writers and producers to, and that’s what lands them on the top of the charts. Considering that BoA’s production team is taking on the same people that have made other US artists chart-toppers, you can’t rule her out yet. All it takes is one song to launch someone to the top of the music industry (how many people REALLY listened to Katy Perry before “I Kissed A Girl”?)

Even if you do hate BoA, you are getting new songs from great producers and song-writers. That’s nothing to complain about.
