Lana♥ Wrote:^ um the Asian market is completely different compared to the American market. Her english single Eat You Up isn't something too far off of something she would normally do, but the song has a more American mainstream appeal. Most of her songs are either pop/ballad/urban, out of those three it's obvious which type would be chosen to break her into the U.S market. Also It's quite common actually, artists release different songs as singles depending on the country/region.
I mean seriously what would happen if an Asian debuted in the states with a song like this

well it might succeed cause Gocchin is amazing~~~~
It doesn't matter what market they come from though, as long as they make good music, it will sell. Bands like Metallica (USA), The Beatles (England), The Rolling Stones (England), Nickelback (Canada), AC/DC (Australia), and U2 (Ireland) have proved that it doesn't matter where you come from. As long as the music you make is good, everyone will love it. These bands have played concerts around the world that have sold-out to 10's of thousands of people. In places like Japan, Brazil, Germany, India, Etc. and didn't change what they did to appeal to anyone.
I guess what I am trying to say is BoA sucks, although the video you posted is better than the one she has released in the USA. Only because she isn't trying to please another market by changing her style. Also, with all the people in love with Anime's, and Asian culture, I could see her having a good sized cult following in the US if she released that video instead.
