There are some gorgeous versions of this out there, but I must say, I'm not a big fan of the pop style of this song. I like that she makes it something it's not. It's always good to experiment like that. Still, if you like this song and haven't heard it as jazz, I HIGHLY recommend checking it out.
Excellent - I've listened to about 6 versions here on youtube, and liked this one the best. Really brought a great emotional song from the 1930's into the modern age, so that young people today can appreciate it. Bravo!
BoA's third language is English(1-Korean,2-Jap,3-English, 4-Mandarin) Give her a break=_=She's already good considering that's not her second language
i didnt say that she was bad at english.. i just said she got the lyrics wrong. when ur singing something ur expressing and its a good idea to get the words right -__- sorta shows u know what ur expressing. i dont hate her and i do think shes good dont need to get touchy O_O
BoA is NOT like Britney Spears at all!!! it should be Brit's the American BoA... [well, she started a year before her anyways...]why is it that the US music is the basis of all modern music alive??? just asking... no offense... hmmm... [if BoA justs practices English more,,, she would sing any English song...]
i totally agree 100%...i love BOA but i mean come on...this is ridiculous...i also love mariah carey but you can't compare these two....boa is more of a pop icon, she will never be a REAL MUSICIAN/ARTIST...just for the fact that 1. she doesn't make her own songs...& she just doesn't have it in her to be someone like christina aguilera or mariah or whitney.....i'm not saying she doesn't have talent but not that kind of talent that comes from these american singers
She doesn't have to be like those famous singers in order to become a famous pop icon internationally (she already is!). She does make her own songs by the way, she wrote every-heart entirely by herself, wrote the lyrics to Brand New Beat and she's wrote a song completely by herself to her parents and she is currently writing her entire new korean album by herself!
she does write the lyrics of some of her song. she also compose a few of her song. "listen to my heart" is compose by her. she said it in an interview. at first time it's a ballad, then it's decided it would be a rock music.
ahah u try to sing in japanese and get it perfect ahahah its hard fo rher to sing in english i kno u arnt meaning it in a bad way btu i am glad shes trying! she will get better
japanese isnt that hard to sing...japanese is one of the most simple languages to prounce, korean's a bit tougher but still simple. now chinese, THAT's hard to pronounce hahaha, you shoulda used a better example =P
ACAULLYY ur wrong to someone who studies it abit like boa isnt gunna get it pefect aspecially since she knos 4 languages and is learning mroe trust me thigns get mixed up btu eather way even me i have been studyign japanese for abit but i always have mistakes pronounceing things but i gusse ur right
thats not really what i meant lol. i just meant that in general japanese is easier to pronounce than other languages such as chinese, putting aside how ever many languages you're learning or who you are. im just saying hmm...like u kno japanese has syllables of two letters, in which one is a consonant? well chinese has like a whole bunch of words and a whole bunch of tones...which makes it a lot harder.
she can only speak korean and japan. basic english with limited vocab. and chinese, she just knows Da jia hao. Japanese is easier to learn in terms of pronouncatioan. Chinese has 5 tones

I sincerely hope she can overcome the stigma Japanese artists seem to have in the US. True, BoA's accent is very strong and her pronunciation could be better, but why would that be any less acceptable with her than with, say, Gloria Estefan?
Besides, she totally trounced Britney when they shared the stage in Seoul back in 2002 (?).
Let's hope that she can break through where other talented Asian acts like Dreams Come True couldn't.
I have listened to many versions including the original by Platters, this is the one I like the best. I had no idea that she was Korean, her English in this version was perfect. BRAVO.
Iono...it kinda sounds like...dadada try...dadada love has flown away..dadad....i could only understand some stuff that she's saying. Everything else sounds like murmurs! SHe has a nice voice though!
Not to sound offensive, but I can't understand a word she's saying!!! I heard the first few english words and thought the rest was in a foreign language! Good vocals nevertheless. And I'm a BoA fan!! I don't think it's improved much here other than her voice.
mm, it's a very common R&B, soulful pop ballad style. but she is technically VERY advanced. maybe close comparison is alicia keys, but boa's technique is even more subtle & effortless, even when it's damn complicated.
wtf. hahahaha. that's so weird. ofcourse she's not married. but there's a rumor that she is the "2nd wife" to lee soo man which is false. haha people can be gullible
oh ok....but i still love her even though she's married or not..i wanna invite her to my wedding...acutally..be my guest at my wedding...and sing Flying without wings with WestLife
I want to hear her sing songs like 'Becuase You Loved Me' like alot of the other kpop singers have covered live
