edit: yeah this was a poorly disguised rant post about me being annoyed at people giving me shit for what I listen to, I never say a thing when I hear people talking about how great [certain bands which suck] are here is something to calm myself ![[image loading]](http://a.yfrog.com/img864/6715/4b1ej.jpg) | ||

In a normal conversation I'd say what exactly I think is the difference between Japan and the USA but the censors been getting a bit out of control around here lately  And coming back to the previous discussion, BoA is as SM as it gets and it still kinda failed which gives me hope. I'm obviously hoping SNSD fails miserably, and for their own good too. But this could already be getting too big, it might snowball if you know what I mean. If you pump enough money into marketing it even the worst shit possible will sell. And SNSD isn't the worst shit, so unfortunately it's just a question how much cash do the people behind them have to spare at this moment. Anyway as long as they're based in Korea I can live with all that. Engrish is part of kpop anyway, doesn't matter, wtf do I care if people are buying their album anyplace around the world, right? Well the real problem starts here, if this song sells they might get sent to the sh... sorry I mean to the United States of America. Like WG were. You gotta wonder what LSM is thinking, maybe he's looking farther down the road, who knows how many more years they still got in them, well if anybody knows it might as well be LSM, maybe he's thinking: let's throw them out there right now since they still here and see what happens, make some good connections and pave the road etc, and who knows maybe they even make it big and then I can buy a few more yachts and shit. Okay I doubt he knows exactly how much more he can expect to get from SNSD, but if there are any reasons to make him think it's not that much more then this could be a simple decision for him. | ||

At my school we're all geeks too, quite a few people play/watch StarCraft or like Japanese Anime. Some of them listen to anime songs all day, and yet they can not seem to get over the fact that I listen Kpop. They don't mind to look at some of the pictures though Got lots of comments on nanashin's gif spam... | ||

If Korean artists want to succeed in America, they'll have to adopt the styles of the current western music scene, which is probably impossible unless they were raise in America... | ||

G.na, Jay, etc etc Only they'd be doing english only music in an American style anyway, so what's the difference? Even if they make it big they won't be known for kpop, they'd be known for having a career in Korea before making it big in the US | ||

I was talking with some k-sones about billboard chart and things like that, and they are going to try and get Ryan Seacrest to notice it and play it on his show, which will definitely be a big audience. The best we can do is hope people like it at that point. True, they have way more promotional force behind their English debut than the wonder girls did, but i just spent a week in Virginia on vacation and was telling some about sc2 and kpop cause they asked me what music i liked .... they had no idea what i was talking about and the only thing they knew about Korea was some cooking show they once saw ... so i wish snsd well but its going to be hard for them to break out of the already sones fan base. I also think kpop is setup for the system they have 4+ shows to perform on live as most acts are as much dance groups as they are singing groups .... we have nothing like that in America, sure some talk shows but you appear once and that's it and the age group they are trying for generally doesn't see them as they are on during the day ... like someone said Jay Park could do well if he was able to release some English songs, but otherwise its going to hard for them. | ||
