(username: BoAmusicUSA) All BoA fans can feel free to drop by and leave a fan message to our dearest BoA. ^^ In addition, SM clarified today that they will be using both versions of the "Eat You Up" music videos to promote BoA. However, with BoA's Official site only allowing the Korean version to watch, it seems that Cha Eun Taek's version will be used the most for promotion purposes.

the song is bad for an english track, kinda laughable really. but it'll fit into the american airwaves i guess since radio is crap.
agree .. title eat you up?? stupid but you know americans .. trashes are consider treasure here ... lol
i think its a good track, if it were britney spears or christina i bet people would say it's a hot track. Good track catchy tune, lets hope the american public can accept an Asian musician being mainstream for the first time in history like they do to obama, that would open up the doors for us in so many ways but of course that will depend on how good her album and english is to be. For the lyrics i think they are meant to be controversial to focus attention on her and her debut album and so far they have. boa has a huge fan base and she would most likely sell at least 50k which isn't so bad for a new comer starting out in america.
well .. i am not a big fan of boa anyway but i have heard a lot of gossips about her being a slut and all .. lol anyway, i thought coco lee, another asian artist has tried the american market .. guess she failed cuz i haven't heard about her since .. it's difficult ... american com do a very good job limiting music abroad here .. you don't get to experience such a diversity here in america ... i feel that way at least.
I think it's pretty good for her first song, though her English still needs improving. Like at the beginning when she sings ".....like its used to be". Still support her though, still waiting on an asian to make it here in the States. -.-
