I have to agree with the general comments thus far, that based on this video clip and the little information available about her preparation and the marketing strategy behind it all, BoA will likely enjoy only a limited success. And without a much different approach or appeal, not much prospect for any enduring career in the American music industry, another one album wonder for niche collectors twenty years from now...

The Korean media will have a chance to roll out headlines like 'BOA Conquers America!" And for the rest of America it will be as memorable as the whole Rain tour of last year. If an Asian makes it big in music in the west, it will be an Asian-American/Canadian/Brit/etc. with absolutely no connection to the music companies based in Asia, not the latest zero-talent marketing clone made for the tastes of pre-teen Asian fans.

She just doesn't seem special and I don't see why anyone would want to listen to her. Her promoter here in Korea must have plenty of money to waste because it sure ain't an investment.
