International Pop star, CoCo Lee, has officially tied the knot with business mogul Bruce Rockowitz in a star studded event in Hong Kong that included performances by Bruno Mars, Alicia Keys, Neyo, The Black Eyed Peas and more. Lee has found success in the music industry with a career spanning two decades including a brief foray into the US Pop market. This may be a couple days late, but we at a-Tunes want to extend a huge congrats to CoCo and her new husband!

Lookin’ Back: CoCo Lee – Do You Want My Love

Before all these artists started trying to cross over to the US after huge success in their home countries (BoA, Se7en, Wonder Girls, Utada Hikaru, etc), CoCo Lee tried to do it 10 years ago.

Although she tried to channel her best 90′s inner J.Lo with her album ‘Just No Other Way’, major success never happened for her. A couple years later the western audience got another dose when she sang the theme for the hit film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. In my opinion she had two huge detractors that resulted in her non-start of a career in the US.

1) Her label was too hesitant in giving her proper backing. The music and presentation is too generic and the marketing push was nearly non-existent. The only thing that made her stood out and it was the fact that she was asian… which leads me to the next point.
2) She was asian. A lot can happen in 10 years, and while the yellow community is still facing the same struggles, I imagine some of the tensions and predicaments with trying to break cultural barriers have eased somewhat.

Regardless, Ms Lee deserves her props for making the effort… and although she’s active only in Asia now, today’s stars with similar aspirations can learn from her journey.

BoA Eat You Up MV Released

So this is a day or so late, but in case you haven’t seen it yet…
FYI, it’s the asian version. It will probably be tweaked for the US release.

The song is OK at best. The dancing is pretty sharp, as always for BoA. I have absolutely no idea how well this will be received. If its anything like CoCo Lee’s debut in the late 90′s, this is not going to end well.

On another note, the video reminds me of other videos with dance audition scenes including that song from Flashdance, J. Lo’s I’m Glad (which was a nod to Flashdance anyway), Hyori & Eric’s Anymotion ad, and the falling books remind me H.O.T’s YulMutChuh!
