Are you guys waiting for this?
“BoA and even former employees were not able to hide their surprise,” a SM representative said after they were notified of how BoA managed to make her way up onto Amazon and iTunes charts. “It’s a good start because we didn’t publicly release the song nor do promotions. It will accelerate her growth from being Asia’s Diva to a Worldwide Diva.”
Next week BoA will go around TV stations in the U.S. to start full-scale promotional activities. She will go on local radio stations, tv programs and visit music stores to promote and increase awareness .
SM revealed that they will be taking highlights from the Eat You up mv by director Cha Eun Taek and showing them on large screens in New York and Los Angeles. The promotional video will be shown every 2 minutes at New York’s Broadway and will continously be shown at LA’s Wilshire Boulevard from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The large screen promotions will continue for the next 3 months revealing other various clips in sequential order.
Plans on releasing her first album early next year and having a national tour have not changed. The title track off her album Look Who’s Talking, which is a strong song but is not by the same team that made Eat You Up. The song has been completed along with the choreography.

man, i wont even bother to read that shit about the promotional video schedule up there. but then of course, i’m not a BoA fan.
ANYWAY.
The MV starts with a few seconds of whatthefuck moment when BoA is literally described as “Best of Asia” and “Bring on America!”. and more seconds to show her achievements, like winning MTV Asia Award for The Most Influential Asian Artist, being interviewed by CNN and Financial Times (and i assume the topic of the interview was about bailout and the world’s economy? ionno, im not really into CNN and FT. not my kinda thing, you know what i mean?), being able to pull the Matrix stunt (1:15) and errr…driving a car (0: 35).
Now how that sounds, America? the girl can do THE MATRIX moves and kick some ass!!
The beginning scenes of the song (1:27) seems promising, with the futuristic city and tower and all. But then BoA’s face shows up and refuses to disappear (as in every scene is about her fukin face. ONLY.),and BHOOM!!, everything’s ruined.
The song’s quite catchy tho.
It reminds me of Britney Spears. Just that i’ve never heard any Britney’s song with a cat constantly meaow-ing in the background.
Well, wish you luck in America, BoA!
and America, wish you luck too, cos BoA is about to Eat You Up, ALIVE!! (for Boa: put more pepper and salt. heard American meat doesnt taste that good. ask Se7en if you dont trust me.)
That’s all for today’s insulting session, folks!, oh and for those of you who was planning to go Super Concert, of course you already know by now that you have to find something else to do this weekend right? fuck the unprofessional organizer.

Why does BoA look more like a cheap prostitute and less like a “superstar”?
Not even with all the luck in the world is she going to make it in America. I can’t say I feel bad about it, if this is the shit she’s going to put out and call it anything more than pathetic.
Next.
