BoA

**Dutch Baka** · May 16, 2006, 01:49

How can it be, no BoA thread in here.

Who is BoA?

BoA (권보아 Kwon, Boa, born in November 5, 1986) is a Korean pop music singer. She has released albums in both South Korea and Japan, and her Korean record company, SM Entertainment, is positioning her as a cross-cultural star in Asia. She has released nine full-length albums, three mini-albums, two compilation albums, two remix albums, and over thirty singles in South Korea and Japan. Her albums have also been released as "overseas versions" throughout Asia and her total record sales are quickly approaching the ten million mark. BoA's first language is Korean, but she also speaks fluent Japanese and conversational English, and has performed versions of her songs in Mandarin Chinese. She has also composed and written the lyrics for several of her songs.

BoA broke records in both Korea and Japan with her smash hits, including "No. 1," "Valenti," and "Listen to My Heart". She has made strides in music and acting with chart-breaking albums released in both Japanese and Korean (BoA accounts for over 75% of musical exports from Korea).

I hope you guys like her, I think she is great and should get a little bit more attention on this forum, because she has been on the number 1 in Korea and Japan several times, and even preformed on Kōhaku Uta Gassen

This girl should get more Respect in here !!!

Eh, I heard one song and turned it off halfway. She seems really superficial.
-shrug- Besides, she's quite plain, even if the rumors about her plastic face are true.

grenadeglovegirl · May 16, 2006, 22:46

In 8th grade I had a Korean roommate at boarding school who was like OBSESSED with BoA. Hehe, she would always play her songs. I thought some of her songs were pretty good, although I don't remember the names or anything, and I havn't heard them in years.

Hyde_is_my_anti-drug · May 16, 2006, 23:20

I have been meaning to check her out for awhile now. Recently got an issue of Beat Freak that she was featured in. I think she's really pretty and intelligent, as for her music...I haven't heard it yet so I can't say. I'm planning to listen to some of her stuff today actually. Will report back with musical verdict.

Twisted · May 18, 2006, 04:06

I really like BoA. She's got a good voice, a good production team around her and she looks so cute.

RockLee · May 18, 2006, 04:14

I only heard a few songs. I'm not that big of a fan, but hey...to each his own huh !

Kinsao · May 18, 2006, 06:39

I'd be interested to hear her music... (partly motivated by a friend of mine who today was saying he just recently started to get into her music and likes it ^^)... I'll have to go find some.

Yokan · May 18, 2006, 18:01

Downloaded 'Your Color' of tonberry in the Oricon chart pack. ^^ Her voice is really...innocent like! XD I liked the song!

ukanimemike · Jun 22, 2006, 10:45

I really like BoA, her dance are really good. In the DVD set, "BoA - History of BoA 2000-2002", there's lots of interview about her life , the three years spent on pratice dancing, features such as footage on making of her music in US and in England.

She's only in early 20s and I think she has lots of potential, I likes all of her songs and they are all really good.

jieshi · Jun 22, 2006, 11:03

aaah BoA. Love this singer!! Even though she isn't Japanese I still really like her. The music she produces isn't groundbreaking but I don't find a certain element of freshness to what she produces

yuuto · Jun 26, 2006, 05:37

TY
dutch Baka...
I enjoyed visiting BOA official website and listening BOA songs, interviews...
cool ... it's a crazy crazy love....

KawaiiSparkle · Aug 9, 2006, 09:26

I love BoA!!! I think her music is awesome!!! She's so talented

sadie_sue · Aug 9, 2006, 10:26

BoA is good, I've listened to some of her music, she just doesn't add her own memorable style. You know, you can listen to her music on myspace.

**Dutch Baka** · Sep 21, 2006, 18:36

Just found this Ed Hardy Boa picture...

(TOUCH) · Nov 14, 2006, 00:54

BoA is releasing a new album January 17th in 2 formats. CD and CD+DVD including BoA the LIVE.

Sugar-San · Nov 19, 2006, 23:00

Hurray ^^
I want to have it already xD
I didn't know that she had a piercing xD But it looks nice. ^^
She looks nice in this pic.

Satsui · Nov 20, 2006, 03:07

She was pretty popular, but I never checked her out.
The only song I heared with her in it was "I want" sang in combo with Fly To The Sky. Which was pretty good, but it's another Korean fair-paced love song.

japantvhost · Dec 10, 2006, 01:42

She's great. Anyone who can sing well in Japanese, Korean and English obviously has some talent

KAGOME25 · Dec 21, 2006, 21:01

I love Boa She has a very nice voice I love the song Every Heart & i love Winter love I have alot of Cds Her english is getting better And i most of her albums

Ettawen · Jan 3, 2007, 09:59

I know know BoA because of the song Tri-Angle from DBSK...she's got a little part in it...other then that I don't really listen to her music. Besides she's Korean not Japanese...>_<

**Dutch Baka** · Jan 4, 2007, 02:06

She was singing at the NHK Kohaku contest on new years eve, here is the video of it:

My wife told me that she changed her nose, anybody can confirm this?

Spyder93090 · Jan 7, 2007, 19:47

I don't really listen to BoA ... yet.

I just started listening to J-Pop Fall '06. I heard she's pretty good and bi-fluent, which is pretty amazing.

But OMG ... I love "The Love Bug" with M-Flo

If you haven't heard it yet, it's actually my MySpace song right now, haha. Link in my sig.

mOtO24 · Jan 12, 2007, 13:03
