What happened to her taking a break to study?

Ouch, I don't think this will end well...although I am hoping =x

She did and it flopped.

I really don't think BoA will do that well because her English isn't up to par, but you never know, Shakira did pretty well with her Laundry Service album and her English back then was questionable and hard to understand at times.

^ But Shakira's Columbian(sp?)...For some odd reason, Asians have a really hard time making out into the mainstream music scene. Hispanics, Africans, and Europeans, are just fine but other than that America is pretty close-minded.

woah! awesome! pave the way for other Asian artists, BoA! ^^

OMG, with her recent material she's definitely up for a total humiliating flop in the US :no

hope she dun end up like hikki! which i bet she will :P :P

OMG, this would be AMAZING! I hope she is well recieved!

I'll LOL if she ends up being popular. :O

I mean, what if she ends up with like, Rihanna-like sounds? O_o

Or worse,

At least Exodus was a good album

Well I have a feeling this US debut will be a flop. Anyway hope her material won't be as mellow as she's been churning out with avex...

I actually want to see this to happen unlike her supposed Chinese debut. Also,Se7en and Rain have kept on saying they are going to debut soon, but that has never happened.

^ hm I thought rain wasn't even part of JY entertainment anymore =S! Anyways I don't blame him for his debut ending due to what happened at his concert XD! SE7EN i dunno anything about him XD I dunno BoA might debut well =S? I am no sure lol We'll have to wait and see =)!

well i think after listening to that song "Brave" off the new album "THE FACE" i think she's got the american style of music, but as for her english...someone better work wonders on her or she's gonna do horribly. i like BoA so i'm still gonna think positive. good luck BoA!

im a bit tired to find the source but isnt this forum (BoAjjang?) known for its rumors?

They got the source from JoongAng Ilbo. But personally I wouldn't bet the house on this. SM is known for talking big and never doing anything.

we'll see what excuses they'll use later on in the year which was why her debut was postponed..

maybe a clash with her name... maybe a cancelled world tour...
maybe a single leak...

=D

Lmao. Yeah I'm expecting something on those lines.

woooh..lets see how far she can go...
i thought that namie amuro has so much better chance to succeed on international market

I have to agree with you there. It's funny too, because all of my friends seem to like Namie, whether or not they actually like J-Pop in general. Her style is very hip and if it were in English, I'm sure it would be enormously successful here with the right promotion. She would just need to work on her English as well. I've never seen her speak it out of songs like Ayu did in the CNN interview.
