Yeah it's a pretty bad title *POO* Oh wells I didn't like 'My Name' so I'm not expecting much.

Wow. 43 reviews for an album that hasn't been released and has no previous singles. The rating so far is 4.7-ish.

lol Girls On Top...I hope she isn't still experimenting with new styles. Her old style was more catchy.

Not sure what to make of the title, although for now it just makes me giggle a little. I can't wait for this release, though. It's awesome to see her doing more unison releases with Korea and Japan. In the past they were always completely different releases. There's a lot of good stuff from one country that hasn't been released for the other, so this is great! I imagine it's gotta make it easier on SM and Avex, too -- which to me sounds like they're organizing things in order to add more to BoA's workload.

I'm also glad to hear this is a joint Korea-Japan album for quality reasons. I think her best music comes from Korea, whereas Japan gives her more of that commercial polish. So I have high hopes for this album.

Brittany · #15 14th June 2005, 02:48 AM

Sounds like a very teeny bopper-ish type of title.

TeamAyu · #16 14th June 2005, 03:04 AM

If there is a nice refreshing pop-song like 'Milky Way' I'm happy. ^_^ But the title STILL SUCKS hahaha

I posted this in another thread, but I'm not sure if anyone saw it, so here it is again, since this refers to the concert mentioned by DerrickRocks.

I went to the BoA concert last night in LA and wanted to share my view with you all. Firstly, let me preface this by saying that I am a BoA fan. I'm not a hardcore one - I don't own any of her Korean albums, but I do like her, so I was looking forward to seeing her.

I'm sad to say that I came away feeling a bit dissappointed. First of all, it wasn't a full concert and that is what I was expecting going in. It turns out, that the main even tonight was a beauty pageant, not a concert! It was for Miss Korea Southern California 2005, with BoA and 2 other groups performing a couple of songs afterwards. This was in no way apparent on Ticket Master or anywhere else that I saw written about this event.

Here was her set list.

1. My Name
2. My Prayer
3. Rock With You
4. Spark
5. Valenti/No. 1 medley.

Unfortunately that was it. 5 songs for $60(glad I didn't spring for the $100 dollar tickets!) Now, this would have been fine, had they stated clearly that this would be it before people bought the tickets, but it wasn't stated at all. I am glad that I saw her, because seeing top level asian artists here is rare, but they should have been more upfront about what people were actually buying tickets for.

Another thing that was dissappointing was that with the exception of My Prayer and Rock With You, she was very obviously lip synching everything. The other groups that were performing were lip synching too. I know in Korea, lip synching is very common and since this was a Korean sponsered event I was expecting it but it's still dissapointing. BoA has a beautiful voice - she shouldn't lip synch as much as she does. In fact the most memorable performance was Rock With You, and that is one that she didn't lip synch.

I know some other people from this board went to the concert as well. Maybe they could chime in with their opinions too?
