I'm sure you guys all heard of Far East Movement and Jay Sean, both with #1 Billboard hits. The biggest issue is Kpop just doesn't translate to American music, which is more geared towards hip hop/electronic stuff these days. That's why it leads me to believe that 4Minute would be way more successful than the Wonder Girls, although the Engrish would be detrimental to them as well. Most people don't even know that FEM is Asian. Americans probably assume that they are African American. That's why they're able to obtain popularity though. Their music isn't Asian, it's American.

Strange things Americans think sexy foreign women are exotic. That's why BoA made two music videos for Eat U Up. First one is for Korea, second one is for America. In America, studying and following rules doesn't make you cool. But Asians tend to do both, that's why Asian artists aren't cool. | ||

Also, in the Internet age, would people really mistaken them for Black? Seriously now, the MV for Like a G6 has 50mm views on youtube, everyone knows they are Asian. And the thing with BoA, even with 2 MVs, they still bombed. The song just wasn't that great, and didn't cater to American audiences. | ||

What? of course the number of people on the internet know that they are asian the first time they see it, but to the average club goer(this track was produced for dance clubs) wouldn't know they are asian if they watched the MV. Why do you ask? they're all wearing glasses and the catchy chorus is done by some white gurl. They used to do this alot even in asian pop groups, if some1 has super small eyes the company makes them wear glasses. I'm not saying their record label made them wear glasses, but IMO they wore them to appear 'less' asian and also as a stylistic view for their new album. And the thing with BoA, even with 2 MVs, they still bombed. The song just wasn't that great, and didn't cater to American audiences. The songs bombed because BoA's english is terrible and she has a fob accent, even alot of american born asians tend to make fun of fobs, the lyrics were also dumb as fuck. ILL EAT YOU UP, SO YUM YUM? this is something an 8 year old vietnam gurl says for money. I know this because Ixas told me. | ||

The lyrics are ridiculous, and she has a noticeable accent that most people can't ignore. If only there were a way to take her early-2000s talent and translate it into something marketable in the USA. + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmDOVQZw7eM Also, does anyone have good, large images of HSY? I'm looking for more wallpapers, and realized I'm missing quite a few idols that I would very much like to have in my collection. | ||

Here, I'll go through what I said and even give you images to prove it so you don't have any chance of missing out. What I said: What I said: SNSD won #1 on two music charts during Tell me promotions. I didn't say they were ranked 1st, I said they had two number one wins. But it doesn't even matter if they were ranked first or last. Your assumption that SNSD dodged WG somehow because of WG's popularity is at least partly false. Because they promoted at the same time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M!_Countdown ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/tEBvJ.png) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Music_Trend#2007 ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/cDA6Q.png) And before you go, HURR DURR SONE, the only reason I'm going through all this trouble is because I'm sick of your constant bashing and misinformation every time you post. We get it, you hate SNSD. Hell, I don't like SNSD that much myself. But can you stop spewing out completely wrong information and pretending that you know what you're talking about (i.e. - "I've been around for the good old days, they were so good I didn't even realize that ballad singers topped the charts consecutively for five years and I think that idols have always > singers lololol"). but i have been around before in the good old days, as hard as it is to believe. All i said to you was no and before that i just said that SME released songs for snsd without clashing with wg. No bashing whatsoever. And i'm not BSing, i meant something else but worded it too short. Sure i did make negative comments about snsd (or at least sones, i dont recall commenting snsd), but that was ages ago. The part about snsd avoiding wg isn't a lie, its just that they don't avoid all the time, i.e not all of their promotions are at the same time (like 2 thirds of it was done in different time, makes you wonder) | ||
