Just ‘Cause: Patty Yu – Bao Eat You Up (BoA Parody)
Parodies can be a very hit or miss effort but Patty Yu’s ‘Bao Eat You Up’ song straddles the line between both. There are some moments of sheer genius here. All I can say is I just may like this more than the original.
Look out BoA!

BoA’s Energetic MV + Interview
Just as promised a few weeks back, BoA has released her newest MV for the single ‘Energetic’.
I thought the video was OK. Better than ‘Eat You Up‘ but not as interesting as ‘I Did It For Love‘. Though I will say BoA’s dancing is fierce. I wasn’t too crazy about this song but its definitely not the worst on her album.
Plus there is an interview w/ EW which you can find quoted after the jump!
Critic’s Corner: BoA – BoA
BoA’s come a long way from ID Peace B hasn’t she? Or singing about that cat Sara. She’s gone from a child pop prodigy that was more of a gimmick to a full fledged Asian tour de force. She almost single handedly kept SM Entertainment relevant in Korea after many of their top acts left the label. So how does all that talent and success translate to the Western market? I guess only time will tell but let’s take a look at her debut US album.
BoA US Debut Album drops tomorrow!
Get your copy from Amazon! I preordered it last week and should have it tomorrow or the day after and I’ll do my best to have a review up asap.
I’ll be forward and say that so far I’m not a fan of ‘Eat You Up’ but I do kinda like ‘I Did It For Love’.
BoA’s Debut Album Release Date Set!
The album release date and tracklisting for BoA’s self titled US debut has finally been set.
It’s slated to drop March 17th. Let’s hope its a success!

BoA’s US Video released
While BoA’s Asian Version of her single ‘Eat You Up’ was released last week, her US version has just been released as well.
It was directed by the famed Diane Martel.
My opinion? Blah. I’m really not that into the song or either version of the video. The productions values of the US video are questionable. It’s also pretty clear what angle they were going for… more close up’s of BoA’s face, more costume variety, urban back up dancers… still… I’m not sure this is going to turn out to be the breakout success everyone was hoping for.
