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

Wait, she's only 22? WTF.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^I thought she was 23. DDDD:

Happy B-day BoA!

[Melrose]

What happened to all the charts etc. anyway? I can't find them ANYWHERE. Like did it top any charts? Or are there no charts like Oricon in the US, etc.? I wanna know how good it did! ^^

[njanjayrp]

It did nothing, yet. The single hasn't been released yet. Nor I've heard of any promotion being done so far.

[Melrose]

Wikipedia says release date 21 october? @_@

[Evolution7/4]

the promotion will probably kick in once the single is released next week.
Oh and BOTH versions of the PV are on yahoo music not just the US one (of course its not actually the us one as SM said).

[Lumix]

But isn't BoA's real age 20, and Korean age 22?

[ayumisrael]

^Nope, her real age is 22.
She was born on 1986.

Yeah, in America, they love to age their stars. I remember upon first seeing 3LW and I could have sworn they were 3 grown women. Ironically enough the 3LW stood for "3 Little Women" and how little indeed. They were just young little Teenagers. So yeah. Expect BoA to look 35. Ha.

In North America it's called Billboard which I'm sure you heard of before.

The digital single was released on the 21st through iTunes and Amazon the physical single release will be next week on the 11th.

3LW = gross

So glad they broke up. I never go how they got popular. They were "Blaque wannabees". =/

As for her age, I really hate that scene when she was singing in the camera (without the dancers). She looked terrible. That make up was another Hikki incident. Just gross. She needed a better make-up artist for that video.

Ooh ok, thx.

And I don't understand Billboard. When I look up singles of artists I like, there is always a different Billboard, and it's always below the 20 or so even though it's #1 is a ton of countries LOL.

E.g. Dance charts
Mature charts
Rock charts

Idk I don't really follow it. Don't they have like ONE chart, like Oricon has?

No not exactly in America, Billboards are sometimes based on radio plays. But you can Check the Hot 100 thats the main one.

Yea, but look what happened we got the Cheetah Girls


I hope the best for BoA, because she prolly coulda gone huge if TRL was still going on...since it's being cancelled and all, but I hope VH1 takes it and it makes NO.1!!!!

[Beauty4123]

happy birthday BoA

[Belinda]

This reminds me, although you would think that spamming a music vid would make you sick of them.....
I stayed in the narita airport for 3 days. I seen 3 vids over and over and over again, at thee time I didn't like any of them much (1 including ai otsuka's peach pv, I am not sure if hana kimi was out at the time). I ended up having the songs in my head half the time, and then after being away from japan, I found that if I happen to hear the songs online or somewhere, I actually really enjoyed them, and still like them to this day
I think that even if people get sick of her eat you up song, they wont be able to help but love it in the end and cant wait for her new stuff!
p.s. Happy bday boa

[aqua_crystal]

^^It's true. Eat You Up is really catchy!!!!

Oh, it's BoA's birthday???? Yaay happy Bday BoA!!!! She's soo young!!

[Mirai Noah]

Happy birthday, BoA!

[Melon Panda]

I get the feeling that even though she looks older than she is now, in a few years (or maybe even a decade), she'll look younger than her real age. From what I've seen, Asian celebrities tend to look a specific age for a long time, regardless of whether they're actually younger or older.

^ It's the asian genes!
