BoA 'I Did It For Love' LIVE @ Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles

[bioroid09]

check out my channel I have a higher quality video of this live concert

iMusicDaily must have been standing right next to me I have the same viewing angle.

[fcukbi]

wow I see her dancing more than singing :P

[zuduzeye]

BOA here is like forced talent & too overacting :(

We miss the real Asian BOA. :( Please come back in ASIA...!!!

[BayBayLips91]

For some reason this dance look better with the guys as back up dancers.

[hieilovr12]

@BayBayLips91 They couldn't find any american's hot enough. So they had to use chicks as a substitute.

[xm3s0sleepyx]

Yellow balloon!

[sc88mr2]

stage is so small dancing like that

[THYAX95]

BOA IS HOT

I LVOE THIS SONG

[Darkstorm1109]

All she really did was dance.Lets get more vocals BoA.

[whoryhobopowers]

That was just awesome <3

Shame they just didn't give her a headset. I would have loved to see her, or at lest the background dancers do that amazing fan dance. <3

[FL619]

BOA ROCKS!

[csmArtaSsj28]

nice boa! love her. she looks kinda tired ayt? she looks older than before. no biggies. still pretty. :]

[serenity255]

boA is awesome and talented :D

but shes getting more of an.."american theme" now :o

[reltennis12]

Nah, she didn't moonwalk, but it'd be awesome if she did! Watch her music video for "I did it for Love", she does the same move in there.

[extraordinaryroyalty]

i love this performance! did she moonwalk?

[BenaRoseTran]

she is a really good dancer

[shinee140]

@BenaRoseTran

Good ? Only ? This is Great !!! Am Srs ! :|

[koreanwannbeforever]

men.. is boA and come to america then can dbsk come to america!

[ijustdancex3]

okkayy...? i dont get what yer saying :[

[koreanwannbeforever]

sorry i was righting to fast.....

[Pochako]

I wonder..since BoA and Utad both came out with their first English CD, I wonder who sells more. BoA seems to do more promotions than BoA.

[azou]

she dances and sings in the same time, that's a great singer !! best azn artist !!! Fighting BoA !!!! aja ^^

[shouji05]

lol....ok i admit her english isn't the best but the song is still good. I like it because it isn't all pop-ish like most of her songs are. It's something out of character with the leather and dance moves. Thats what makes it good. :P

[wlsdn0128]

OMG !!! She came ? Oh my saddd ! I thought she didnt !! damn~ I missed it... There was another Korean concert at Staples and Figure skating in Staples with kim yun ah !!! also Hollywood bowl Korean music festival ! T_T;;;

[dreamiy18]

bOa is the shit and be famous in usa sOon

[IheartPRETTIboys]

her album's full of good songs, she shouldn't have released this

maybe touched? or Obsessed? Hypnotic dancefloor? Dress off? All better

[MattIsOutrageous]

This song has absolutely no potential to be sung live. You can kinda sing Eat You Up live, but this one has vocals that are way too processed. But HEY, BOA PUTS ON A GOOD SHOW. She's the Korean Britney for good reasons! =D

[idkyoo]

korean britney? ha...fyi britney is not even up to par with BoA. even back then when birtney was still good. her dancing was nowhere close to BoA

[atrilliel]

I agree...its more like Britney is the American BoA lol. I think Britney reached her peak, from here on out she'll be getting less famous. I doubt she'll even get the "queen of pop" title.

[yegeun]

I don't like this song for BoA...

It's just not her. I don't understand why they are trying to fit her into American style. She shows her own style in Japanese and Korean stages but not in USA, which happens to most of Asian singers when they come to USA. It just sucks.

[luaamify]

I felt so alone there. I am white, and I was surrounded by screaming Asians talking in like Japanese or something. But hey it was a really fun concert.

[ilynwafa]

oh, don't worry as long as you're having fun

[guribeng1]

Proud that Boa is Korean

[StereoTypeA]

I love that slide back dance move they do in 0:49

[tvxqfreakz]

BOA RULEZ!!! :)

[smilegirl101]

OMFG!!!! She was here! Where I live! OMG i can;t believe this ! I wish i was thererrererererererer! Nice performance.

[honeyxiong11]

lol how saddd! haha

[E4shinAe]

ahhh BoA Rules in Asia

[richybeats]

i wish i was there

[lindelocks]

serious there making it so hard boa why done they give her a mic thingy that attached to her ear..hm well she moves too much for that but yehh awesomee boa

[aahcan5566]

TWO THUMBS UP!

[irbenson]

NO THREE

[aahcan5566]

Got three...plus urs thumbs...

[Kerisa]

It's slow in starting, but Boa's got a fire, she'll start blowing up soon. I believe in her. Boa, Fighting!~

[sient005]

wow, she has so much stamina to be able to dance and sing at the same time. Go BoA! ^^ whooo lol

[strawberriechocolat]

heyy

i was there

shes so good

i really hope she makes it

[gedumbak89]

hw i wish i was there man...Oh Gosh...come to SINGAPORE PLS!!!!!

[linkP91]

she said: "say" , " I I I did did it for love" <<<---- it means that she didn't lipsync. Poor BoA! She was sick!!!

[florencemathew]

i think you should watch her Korean and Japanese videos, like Valenti, Girls on Top, My Name, Bad Drive, and Sweet Impact. Particularly the LIVE performances. You will see that you've said a wrong comment.

You're the SICK. xD

[meLiFromConq]

Maybe you should reread what linkP91 said and try to comprehend more. He/She was basically defending BoA saying she was sick. Which was true, or at least she was tired. I am surprised she can even do so many performance in both US and Japan in such a short time.

[NorangParangSarang]

what r u talking about?? linkP91 said "she doesn't lipsync"

[alohacrazy44]

they need to give her handsfree mic, it would be easier for her to dance

[BAbixWHish3s]

Japanese singers like Nami Tamaki and Boa like the use the hand mic because it is more real for them to use during live so they wont be accused of lip singing.

[susmmm]

boa's not a japanese singer.

she's actually korean

[NorangParangSarang]

BoA is a Korean signer not a japanese singer~^^ she was born in Korea and she is a 100% Korean. she just moved to Japanese and she sang songs in Japanese.

[angelatrinh06]

Haha those two people are really good dancers.! (:

[MajestyXP]

i love her hair like thatttttttt.

[Mitluu]

AHHAHAH i like how the audience all are asian. look at all those ppl with black hair LOL

[avwhite]

She needs a better performance coordinator.

[mobilesuit033]

¿Y cuál es el problema que le ves tú a la coreografía?

Envidiosa

[avwhite]

No dije coreógrafo. He dicho rendimiento coordinador. Disculpe mi español por favor.

I didn't say the choreography was bad. i said she needs a better performance coordinator.

[mobilesuit033]

your spanish is so good!

:D

[avwhite]

LOL thanks, umm, I used a dictionary to look up coordinator though lol.

[aerisakuri]

maybe a korean one! her performances in korea were awesome!! she is great here though

[avwhite]

Yeah they are and it is.

[choi911z]

why does she look so tall o.o

i mean unlike another perfs

[kxlee1]

Go Boa you did great!

[flowerAzn]

Well, I say she's pretty good. If she wanted to make an English album, then why not. It's like she wanted to make a Japanese album from her korean album right? At least she's got guts to do it and confidence. I giver props for it.

[shuheirafainuyasha]

So what should I do to you?I can make reason♪because I love you!!!so I can say I did for love LOL

[anth55]

That is hot, how she did the chest pop then a hip swing......dang girl. excellent!

[vinci7210]

I love the dacing!....not really a big stage to work with...She could have vocalized better with more room....She is a great dancer!

[Xflipstax4xlyfeX]

probably not the best one.......

[mitsukisakurai]

She barely sang. I honestly prefer BoA when she was in Korea and prior years in Japan. I don't care what image she has, but her American songs just aren't any good. BoA can do so much more than what she's given right now.

[christy33710]

yeah exactly! can agree no more. her japanese songs, as well as korean ones are way better!!!!

[MisterInevitable]

My baby. Been listening to her wayyy before she started to become main stream in america.

[emmoichoi]

this song use so much Auto tune, that's why it's so hard to sing live

[thetopprospect]

firetigerchic, shut the fuck up. if you knew anything about world culture, you would know she's basically the "Britney Spears" of Korea. You ignorant dumb ass. Stop hating and appreciate talent.

[AiRyosuke]

just except the hardcore emotional times from britney

lol xD

[firetigerchic]

Out of key... I mean.. How hard can it be to sing this song?? I do love the way she dances, though. She's coo'

[edl888]

Forgive her as she is trying to sing a New Language and dance at the same time in a New Environment not Korea or Japan ... Seriously I haven't heard an out of tone from BoA before especially when she is in Korea or Japan ... only when she was sick ... and the sound system they use for live sucks ...

[firetigerchic]

U know what??  I guess ur right. I have to apologize about earlier. It's true, the sound system sucks always, plus the poor girl is probably trying to do her very best and must be nervous. Now I'm ashamed *-_- lol I'm sorry!!

[mdelcamp1]

First time viewer -- very impressed. BoA looks like "the Michael Jackson" of J-Pop. This musical star is heading for Top 40 here in America soon, no doubt.

[eunkyu714]

um, She is not Janapese but Korean.

[Purplie0o0Luu]

she dances really well..but the live singing..not so well

[XxCutieHoneyxX]

it's because of the sound of the song how it was recorded it will be harder to sing that type live for anybody

[shineecarolina]

MV真的吓到我啦。

当时的感觉是，BoA也需要走性感路线？？

MV拍的太差了，live好很多~

BoA加油！！

[SnowGigi]

the stage is so small........but other than that boa rock.....live.

[FThwaiting99]

go boa!!!!!!!!!!!

[hyemihyun]

Actually, I didn't expected her live. but-very good! Pretty cool, cool.

[NancyyVoo]

i LOVE BoA. but her voice sounds like a babyyyyyy in this vid. whyyyyyyy???

[AdrianHotness]

Three things that I am not going to forgive:

1) BoA for making such a great song that's overly addicting.

2) That guy who walks a behind stage more than once, distracting the audience of the performance.

AND

3) That girl who has the only blonde hair to rob the attention BoA deserves on stage.

Great performance though =D!!

[Ferrari328gtsi]

Amuro Namie is Japanese. Also 1/4 Italian. Not Korean

[XxCutieHoneyxX]

I love her!

[amy3120]

omg. the people there were so lucky!!!! so jeolous. i cant believe none of them actually shouted at the end, cuz if i was there i would have[;

[reallygoodatmusic]

boa, is a good performer, ive seen most of her videos on you tube, but the one korean singer that really should hit the U.S. is a singer named namie amuro, she is also very popular in asia too, namie is more hip hop pop, style with a hint of r&b. you guys should check out some of her videos on the tube too!!

[SEfob]

Amuro is Japanese.

[reallygoodatmusic]

sorry, my bad.

[crescentsaber]

nationality fail

[dudgns]

.......that's what i thought -_-

[ElCanalero1]

I don't really like her all too much but she's a pretty good dancer.

[Boyplayano1]

THE BITCH CAN MOVE! U GO GIRL!

[weirdo12341]

the bitch? -.-

[Gaarasmyboyzz]

She mostly danced...guess she was bored. Lol I was looking at most of the audience and they had camera's...probably recording.

[hydemegumi4ever]

i like what she's wearing.. good thing she changed her baggy hip hop concept

[nyll]

omg ii didnt know that she went to citywalk..ahh ii wish ii was there..soo sad..

[mikabomi]

SHE CAN SING SO WELL ~~!!!!

but this song doesn't really show dat

only dancing part is good

[Wisedkaew]

so many asians.. she should of stick to Asia only.. she did hell good there but i guess it won't hurt to try in U.S.

[JamConcerned]

I just don't think she has the right producers yet, it is going to take time she must have the confidence and believe in what she is doing. Make the right friends. She has got to mix with other artist go to industry parties.

She has got to emphasize what is unique about her..right now Lady Gaga is it because she is creative. I believe she can make it every other nationality has she just has to bring something unique, style of dance, her voice, look, sound

[meluvtie1]

woop woop look at her dance

[longlivejw]

Please go to online and buy her CD!!

It's so hard to get her new CD at off-line markets

[lissyu]

GOOD JOB

[PrincessStar317]

i love this song!!!^O^ she's pretty^o^ thanks 4 the upload!!!^^

[1foottall]

she's amazin'

my favorite^^*

[gafgarionz]

she's such a charming artist plus she's hardworking and trouble free:) i love her new album but honestly i will rather listen to her ballads live, cos she always sound so emotional especially when she does korean ballads.... this english album is mainly electro pop so i guess it does not show the fantastic voice and singing skills that BoA actually possess since she started young.

[longlivejw]

Let's expect her ballads in next English Album..

[kagomegirl92]

longlivejw, I agree with you! I want English ballads too! =D

[zaneXT2105]

yah, agree, she seemed somehow bored in this performance.

[boarashi]

The audio on this video didn't pick up very well. But judging from other fancams that were closer to the stage, BoA sounded amazing in this performance. Her vocals and dancing are top notch.

[yangphia]

Her voice is not all that great, but her dancing is reaaally good.

[WorldWideMusicMiss]

Her voice is weaker on this performance, but listen to her ballads live. They are amazing.

[XxCutieHoneyxX]

her voice IS great..listen to what technology was put in to making the recording of this song..it would be hard to sound like that live...srsly try to think

[kstaree]

where was I gosh i missed it lol

[reginestarz]

is lady GAGA that famous? :O

but no matter what, i still like BoA ! always and forever ! i've supported her since 4 yrs back than . xD

[krisian]

i don't see how she can fail in the US though. she already has a huge fan base from her Korean and Japanese career, she might not be the Lady GAGA, but i don't see how can she fail

[kpajamas613]

2:10 sounded great :)

[idonkno324]

how her career in America go?? anyone knows? i tried to find some news abt her after her album released, but there is nothing...

i dont see her album in store either :(...

anyone please update me the news! thanks :)

[PoppinDingy]

her u.s album is in borders, best buy, barns and nobles, virgin music store i think lol

[lilant198917]

i went to borders and even fye here in chicago and i didnt find it so i just bought it on itunes but im still lookin 4 it so i can have the cd i love boa

[PoppinDingy]

yea they sell out quickly or u have to go up and ask the people in the counter i actually had to have them save a copy before going to borders

[TwilightVampire02]

I couldn't find it anywher ein Arizona, but I just went to best buy, and Walmart.

[PoppinDingy]

hmm walmart does not sell, but I know best buy does for sure and they do sell out very very fast when i first went out to buy it at borders the first day i went online to see that all stores were sold out.

[reginestarz]

we all have different point of view, everything have 2 sides so, just like what yonghong1993 say, keep the comments to yourself except ofcourse its a positive one (:

and basically i prefer the old BoA , so pure & innocent. but i'll still support her ! rock on BOA ! :D

[Stevintage]

word up. I agree. however, I'm glad she hasn't gotten into a lot of trouble like so many other singers who start out young.

[reginestarz]

yeah, totally agree with you (: thats why i really admire and respect her , i would go to the extent to LA just to look for her xD heh. she started out 14 and now 23, wow, Salute !

[fushigiyuugi39]

With the tight leash that LSM and SM have on her, I'm not surprised that she hasn't gotten into any trouble. The past 9-10 yrs of her life have been work work work with hardly any breaks in between. What is SM thinking flying the girl back and forth b/w US and Japan to promote her US debut and her Eien single at the same time??? Poor girl is so tired from jetlag that most of her perf. lack her usual energy. Still love her though, but she really needs to take a break. ;_;

[44dav44]

i think tht she will do great in the us i love her music i love every song on her album, i havnt been able to get it yet but iv heard every song from her album and lovin it cant wait to buy it :)

[Chillenzvboi]

I hope she comes back to Rage nightclub again and performs this song! Love it!

[mtooothap]

Well, atleast there was one period used in that gibberish of a response. I could make out that "da" mean's "the". xD

[speed00212001]

i knew that she wont succeed in US.

[x71n4]

are you living under a rock on pluto?

[speed00212001]

i know ur living under EDISON chen

[x71n4]

i don't even know what you're trying to say, but for the sake of ending w.e. this is, ok fine you win

[yonghong1993]

hi speed00212001 , thats what you think only dude.

[speed00212001]

thats what u think only she'd succeed, too

[yonghong1993]

so thanks , lets keep our OWN perceptions and thoughts to ourself

[speed00212001]

I HAVE 2 BREAK IT 2 U. BUT, ITS TRUE.

[mimi022089]

she could or could have! She just needs some major promotion I didnt even kno da album was out or dat dere was a 2nd single until 4 days after da album was released. I think thats wut she needs to learn in order to make it in da US u gotta let ppl kno u here u kno she needs to promote her ass off and do it everywhere

[speed00212001]

fair enough

[x71n4]

i don't get how everyone can complain BoA's voice being digitalized but don't say anything about people like lady gaga.

at least BoA sings about something that makes since unlike lady gaga. seriously how can you 'sing' about getting drunk and not caring about anything except dancing? what kind of message is that to younger kids who listen to that kind of music?

[fishissuper]

I agree with you. I think she is trying to fit into US market since tons of singers like T-pain, Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga out there got their voices computerized..

I am not being bias or what so..

I am fan of T-pain, Lil Wayneand Lady Gaga. It is just that people seem to accept computerized voice now..so I don't see any problem with BoA's voice being computerized..She definitely have true talent..you can definitely hear from her jap songs.

[swtaznangl637]

I was there for the concert. She's awesome! you people need to stop saying that there were only asian there. There were tons of non asian there. This mexican girl next to me wouldn't shut up, she kept singing and screaming "mexicans love BoA!" -___-'

[XxCutieHoneyxX]

Meh that's why i hate living in boring michigan..I would have loved to see her and I am white..and I liker both her korean and japanee music!

Good luck in america, BoA! <<<3

[yamvongsa]

wow they went there ...i know where its eiei^ ^

[asianjeannie]

She did great!

I know it sounds weird, but that's because her song was recorded and digitalized, but it's good!

I know she sounds better without the music in the background, too.

[mando3239]

I was there when she performed and I liked her!

I like both "Did it for love" and "Eat you up"

And who cares if her voice is technoligize. That's today's music!

[idonkno324]

ugh i wanna go see her concert T___T

[XUnholyWrathX]

I wont care if her voice is technolized~ etc... A true fan wouldnt care, and Ive loved her music ever since I learned about her from Inuyasha's Ending themes, (Where her song "Every Heart" is sung) Which got me hooked XD

So yeah ^w^ Shes great and youve gota love her for that.

[reiibsbholic]

okay.. i do see non asian there but not blonde of course..

[silverojo]

They digitize people voices in today's music, but not nearly as much as on BoA's album. I knew she couldn't sing ballads because her English isn't good yet, but I did expect to hear her actual voice on the album.

Eat You Up is a lot better than this song.

[E4shinAe]

bos ssssssss

[rainyseas0n]

you can't blame her.. with her accent and everything

besides, digital/techno is the new trend. learn to live with it

i'm sure when she's more comfortable with english, however, she'll have several ballads. be patient.

if you want to bash her voice, listen to her asian songs before judging. -.-

[Lnknprkfrk]

i was freaking there, literaly RIGHT NEXT TO THE STAGE with my dad, and when it started, everyone jumped up in front of me and kept shoving me and i couldn't see anything. before it started, the girls in front of me kept bringing more people up with them and i got squished and i couldn't move! and that was my first concert ever. i waited 3 HOURS there, and i didn't see shit.

[Carotcake1999]

i see only asian there

[jangkimtyler]

Haha.

thats what my friend said.

he was actually there lol.

[mycognitive]

I am STAR STRUCK!!

[terribd]

BoA is simply kickin ass and takin names. She is doing so well here in America! I am so proud of her!!! The dance routine to I Did It For Love totally pawns! And she sounds so good! Are those fans with Yellow Balloons? Isn't that her fanclub official color? BoA Hwaiting!!!

[katfire2]

go boa

[Theobssesed]

BoA rawked this performance <33333

[mtv21]

Good ^^

[halailau]

i like the yellow balloons <3

[BeautifulCallaLilies]

i love love love boA!!! she;s sooooo sexy & a great dancer...keep it up beautiful!!!

[robertsrashad]

Damn, i cant believe BoA was so close to me!! Great performance of course, its BoA Kwon, it would've been cool if she performed 「永遠」 for her true blue fans, because you know thats the performance we'd wanna see and the song we'd wanna hear!

[andreadesmocedici]

great

[keg11382]

She reminds me sooooo much of Aaliyah!

[andreadesmocedici]

maybe if aaliyah still alive and make romeo must die 2. he minght be theone who can play a role as dauther of han and trish
