Two Cents: SNSD evolved from birds

OK, so if you are now or have  at any point in the last couple years been a KPOP fan, then you have heard of SNSD aka Girls Generation. They hit the scene as part of SM’s master plan of world dominance and haven’t looked back since. Now I’ll be quite frank and say I was never that into the group. They all seemed so young and cutesy and there is just so friggn many of them it kind of boggled my mind.

Putting any personal dispositions aside I have to admit their new single is catchy in that mind numbingly repetitive and overbearingly cute kind of way. I can’t say I’m any more or any less of a fan now but I will admit that I did pay a little more attention this time around.

And I realized something…

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.

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!

  • Boa’s US debut track has been leaked too. It’s catchy in a bad way. Lyrics are also… questionable.

Move over Se7en, Bi: BoA’s coming to America

Asian superstar BoA and SM Entertainment seems to be making good on those vague promises from over the years about her debuting in the US. She’s seemingly come out of nowhere and is on the path to debut before both Se7en and Bi (Rain) who conversely made big announcements the past year and never materialized.

Here are the two teaser trailers for her single “Eat You Up”:

I’m not so crazy about the verses but the chorus isn’t so bad. I’m skeptical but we’ll see how she fares.
