Wow, when you're saying the names of Asian singers, I barely understood what you were saying... it sounds so extremly American! Haha

[LinzerDinzer]

Hey leave my whiteness alone! I generally pronounce everything in an American way because I expect that most of my audience is American/Canadian/English, me being an English speaker and all. I can pronounce things properly, which I do when I'm actually talking to Asian person. Haha, they don't know what I'm saying otherwise! You should've seen me ask for a Dong Bang Shin Ki CD at a Korean store... haha... hilarious.

[beeaaassssttttt]

hahaha your so funny. and i agree with everythin you said. but how did you get into boa and asian music?

[LinzerDinzer]

That is a loooong and complicated question for me. May have to do a whole video about that. It was an interesting, decade-long journey....

[Emmy19]

Actually, Utada did not get much promotion which was probably a big factor to her lack of success in the US. Dunno..maybe her record company didn't like it so much.

I didn't realise the simiarities to the Brandy song until you told me though! XD Although I don't think that any artist/song is completely original. I also want to watch the full versions of both videos before I really judge them though.

But it's good that you are a BoA fan and yet you can still criticise. :)

[LinzerDinzer]

Dude, I have to force myself to get real on BoA. For the most part I just dance around in BoA-worshipping-bliss and talk about the girl like she farts rainbows. But we have to criticize her otherwise she won't evolve as an artist, and she's the type who will always try to be better and better at what she does.

im subscribing...because you're hilarous (plus, my livejournal comm recommended you~) :))

i never noticed the similarity~ ^^ haha!! nice one.

[CLO619]

All I gotta say is and I hope boa is reading this when u come to the US music scene Boa better come correct. no half assing here and hook up with the best in the US if u want to be great. like Timbaland, JT, Jazzy Pha, the Neptunes, someone well known and hot with the beats.

[kuukylvrr]

ALSO, lmao I did notice the whole "What About Us" similarity not too long ago as well so it was like 'hey yeah they're extremely similar'. But I don't notice however, it's similar to bad... that I don't get.

[castleoutsider]

Eh i didnt even think about brandys song. tbh tho its not the artists faults really. they have ppl that make their songs, and from what i hear the ppl that did toxic for britney did this one for boa so dont blame her. and i absolutly LOVE eat you up anyways so. but i so also agree the korean ver of the video is better.. the us ver looks so cheap and dumb -o- kinda like what they spent on utadas us album. ooo~ lol i loved ur vdo tho, how do u feel about se7en and bi trying to make it over here?

[shepardlover]

Love it! I agree about the mixed feelings thing and the "my Boa" thing. lol.

"That's Koda Kumi's job!"

Best.Line.Ever.

[Kittykitt129]

XD, "even that guy's BoA" and "that's Koda Kumi's job!"(she has better thighs for it too).

The Korean version is cool, but the US version is what these people will 'Eat Up'.

[lapiate]
