No large scale shows wanted them because they weren't popular. She attempted to get Kara popular while earning money. The money that comes out of variety shows goes to the individual not the group, so HSY gets all the money to herself for her appearances. But she has no idea about how much she gets since all the money that she earns goes to her parents. I really doubt she was in it for the money. You don't get it at all. Part of that money goes to the entertainment company, money used to maintain the group, used to get them more promotions, used to produce for their next comeback. She didn't literally do it for money, she was made to do it for money. If you still don't get it, I don't know what more to say. | ||

It's black person genie! + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1L5M25vcMI Sounds like it's Jessica singing the female voice. I like the female part and the beat. I don't know who CJ Lewis is (probably going to get pelted). I could probably do without CJ Lewis in the song, but obviously they're using him to promote the SNSD. They should just make an English Tell Me Your Wish (Genie). | ||

Make English version --> don't promote it --> let rabid North American fans go apeshit and let it go viral. Hell yeah, I should go into marketing. | ||

Only there aren't enough NA fans to make it "go viral", or at least not enough to make further promotions/actual songs made in English. edit- also if they pick a song to make it should not be Genie. I'd pick Gee for sheer popularity, something older if it were up to me. | ||

Genie would still win costumes) I'd want Genie. Though Genie has really weird lyrics from the translations I've read. The remix (it's considered a remix right?) already has altered lyrics though so I guess it doesn't matter that much. Gee's video needs to go viral. Every non-Asian person must know of it; needs to become bigger than Rick Roll. Convert everyone into Sones and KPop fans. | ||

Not gonna happen lol, and I'm sure you don't want gee to be the next rick roll. The culture differences (ppl going wtf is this cutesy shit) as well as the language barrier means that it won't do well; for kpop artists to make it here they need to be able to speak english fluently and their songs need to be in english. Because of this I think either the wonder girls will break through, if their english album is any good/catches on, or JYJ, if they keep doing what they're doing and work with really good songwriters/have that one breakthrough hit. | ||

Ya I know it'll never happen. Oh well i'll just think of SNSD as a perk of being Asian or Asian influenced. You think Wonder Girls won't or will? You said "either" but that doesn't make sense unless it's "neither." Actually what has happened to them? I just see them posting selcas and having some sort of annual concert in New York. Are they expected to release something anytime soon? | ||

Are they expected to release something anytime soon? WG are making a full length English album, they were recording it as of a month ago, idk what stage it's at now. How well they do depends on how good the songs are, how good the promotions are (radio, talk shows, etc.), and how well the American public will accept a) girl groups b) Asians/Korean culture (some of this depends on how Americanized WG will make themselves as well. I can make no predictions at this time because I know literally nothing about the songs they're making, but the fact that they're making so many original english songs and living in the US (does wonders for getting rid of that thick Korean accent, as well as making connections and getting acquainted with the culture) is a good sign IMO. edit- I think JYJ are going about it the best; working with actual talent- say what you will, but Kanye West is far better than all the other "american producers" that other groups have been working with, releasing in full english, getting decent hype (partially due to the Kanye connection), having a fair amount of concerts (something that apparently doesn't happen much in Korea but IMO is much more important in Western music). It would be better of course if they didn't split their fanbase by splitting with TVXQ but I'm sure SM wouldn't have done what they're doing now- they most likely would be doing what current DBSK is doing- Korean/Japanese promotions- and if they had I could see them fucking it up like WG/BoA have. | ||
