Agreed, her accent is really strong and uncomfortable to listen to.

what i think of boa as well. her english songs are HORRIBLE. she tries to copy the ,i don't know what it's called, but that fake computerized voice just like the mainstream music in the US and it does not work out at all. plus the lyrics are horrible as well.
I think it is called auto-tune. Koreans should just stick to singing in Korean. Her voice and her songs are really good; in her recent attempt to go mainstream in America, she really butchered both. It's really a shame because she is really talented in my opinion.
Yeahhhh, her American stuff is trash in comparison. I don't count it. I don't really count any of Utada's songs from Exodus except Kremlin Dust and maybe 1 or 2 others. Well, BoA's English has improved dramatically if anyone else noticed. So, I won't bash her on that.

All time fave = L'Arc~en~Ciel. Also MUCC, THE BACK HORN, Janne Da Arc, Utada Hikaru, Ayumi Hamasaki, Shiina Ringo like someone mentioned. Gackt, but moreso his older stuff = <3 D'espairsRay. BUCK-TICK. I should probably stop there.

Blimey - another Back Horn fan I used to be really into Dir En Grey a few years ago, but I don't like the whole VK fandom atmosphere - it's a bit scary/lame.
But I mean, c'mon! Look at BoA. She's hot, she can sing, and she's can fawkin' dance. She's been named the most influential asian artist. Heck, the SC map Azalea was named after one of her songs! I don't know, I've been really into her music lately. She makes meh wet.
tmi... lets keep wats going on in our pants to ourselves plz...
plus for solo girls i like Hyori, really cannot top that atm
Boa's a Nob 86 and I'm an Apr 86 ^^. I remember her when she released her first album and it was really awesome. The only people that would hate her is... Jessica H.O. lol. SM actually did a really good job with her, wish they could do the same with their other talents, i.e. CSJH but whatever. My biggest pet peeve against SM is that the more talented singers aren't getting the Korean success that they should have (Zhang Yi Lin, CSJH, etc) Her recent best one I think:
Wow, I can't stop listening to this song. Thanks for posting that. I used to listen to BoA alot, but somewhere along the line I stopped (along with kpop and jpop altogether), but this is a nice change. I actually prefer her Japanese songs.
EPT
