The US hasn’t been too kind to Asian singers in the US.

Do you remember Coco Lee or Utada Hikaru. I thought so.

Here is my take:

Does anyone feel the same?

However, I DO hope she breaks the barriers!!! Ganbarou BoA!

but she has something special. she is “exotic” for most americans. i think this is her big advantage.

Ya, I really don’t think she’ll make it here. Her U.S. fan base isn’t large enough to really take her mainstream.

yeah, it seems really difficult for asian stars to transfer over to the states :(.

It’ll be quite interesting to see how BoA fairs in the the U.S. market especially with her limited English. She’s talented no doubt, but American’s may still view her as a FOB.
