[BoA] Asia Diva to Worldwide Diva on BoA 12th thread

[elepop]

The release was delayed again? Honestly, I don't know why they are doing this. Delayed or not, promotions or not, I don't think it would help BoA and "Eat You Up". I'm not optimistic but it's true no? XD

BoA is going to be promoting on Youtube Live in Tokyo on the 23rd...if that counts.

She's trying to debut in the States yet she's going back to Japan to promote and do her first performance there. I'm not saying she can't promote in Japan but do more in the States first.

Seriously. Someone said a BoA thread back or so that SM couldn't have the US in mind too much if they're doing all this overseas promotion (overseas from the US that is). It just seems that they aren't fully into it and more like, "Well if she blows up in the US then great. But if she doesn't, then at least we promoted her so she can sell in Korea and Japan where we know they already love her".

Yeah and I will be there *___________*

And I want to do that BoA 30seconds video too..it is ok even if I am not BoAjjang's member?

[emi♡]

hmmm I totally forgot that we don't really buy singles.

Interesting.

Will wait for the album...or for her to come to San Fran and promote! @_@

she needs to come already.

[FuNsTyLe]

Well delayed or not, the single has actually gotten popualr around here!

I listened to it earlier today, and my sister walks in and asks me what that song is called, because they had played it yesterday at some club she went to... So I told her, and she downloaded it...

[love in music]

^ that;s awesome
i wish i could get into a club and jam to eat you up

People in America can see the performance as well. Youtube Live is Youtube's version of Live Earth 2007. People around the world will watch both but right now with the performances involved I seriously doubt that it will happen that way. But she was supposed to start performing in clubs because she can't sing Eat U Up on American TV so don't think that's gonna happen.

[RyRyMini]

I doubt anyone American going to watch it except for people who already know about her.

Why can't she perform on TV?

Exactly. Even though Youtube is popular that form of promotion can only do so much. Imagine all the negative comments that will be posted under that video when she performs.
Half of the Japanese audience won't even understand what she's singing unless she performs a Japanese version to the song.

BoA debuted on number 42 at the Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play Chart.

It's good new even if it's not the chart I would prefer.

42 eh? Hmmm.... could do better...... A LOT better....

[IYFreak]

I really wish SM would really wish SM would be a little smarter when it came to promotion in america. I was really excited before, since I thought they would have learned from the mistakes of other foreign attacks coming into america, but.....it doesn't look like it. I'm really worried now.

[U-GO-BOY]

when will the single come out in Europe? >.<"

[Ayumi27]

Wow, no matter the delays, i'm loving Eat You Up already! Last week I was talking to a friend who heard the song and liked it, the first time ever I found someone in my country who knew about an asian singer haha

[Melon Panda]

Eat You Up is catchy enough to make it big, but the question is whether or not it actually will. Promotion is key in this matter, and SM Entertainment really should have partnered up with an already established American company to help with promotional matters. To assume they can do it alone (and rake in the cash alone, I presume) is way too risky for a debut, I think.

[Sundae]

There is a commerical on KIIS FM LA running and they talked about BoA and her debut and other stuff but the main point is that she is going to be at Jingle Ball. Jingle Ball is an annual event where artists preform. This is what I call exposure.

edit:They are also promoting her at the site.

Oh wow! That's amazing! BIG station. I want to see the performance This should be huge for BoA.

[bondingo]

Oh wow, that's great to hear. I really hope the exposure from the Jingle Ball does something for her digital sales. I'm still not sure where this is going to go in terms of success, but it's nice to hear she is getting promotion with a big radio station.
