BoA to headline at San Francisco Pride Festival

BoA is really coming up, everybody!

On Sunday, June 28th, BoA is set to headline a series of performances at the San Francisco [Gay] Pride festival. The pop diva is set to perform alongside the likes of Solange Knowles and The Cliks -yeah, I don't know who The Cliks are, BUT, the festival has previously boasted performances by more well-known celebs like Margaret Cho, Kat Deluna and Lady GaGa.

I find it VERY surprising that BoA's camp has decided to let her perform at such a "controversial" (and I use that loosely) event, where there is sure to be a lot of positive and negative protesting. Regardless of BoA's on views on the cause, this is sure to be a smart career move. With all the controversy surrounding this subject, she is sure to get some serious exposure from this....

Thanks lawlietta for the tip!

Woow! Boy is she going to be surprised!! I went to last years Festival and all I can say was that there were a bunch of divas and naked people [as in female AND male] . Goshh I hope she prepares herself for a shock of a lifetime, it’s definitely gonna be a change for her. plus I wish I could go but I’m gonna be out of the country that time.

the gay pride parade is fine.  I don’t think it’s “controversial”, lots of entertainers in the US are pro gay rights.  She’ll be popular with the gay community X3

I wonder what her views are on gays/lesbians.

If they’re not positive I can’t expect her to be able to perform well.

Whoooa that’s pretty coool! I live in SF! ;D

 
ktbrights's avatar

Wow, lots of exposure there. She might be heading down the Lady GaGa route…but somehow I doubt she can achieve the controversy and plain crazy taht is Lady Gaga. Still, I’ll be supporting this girl!

 
no avatar

oOo yeah…I AM DEFINITELY going to keep an eye out for her performance!

Sorry, but this won’t give her exposure.  Those are all D-F list acts, with the exception of maybe Lady GaGa.  It won’t make the waves you think it will.

Poor BoA.

 
amigo75's avatar

so, yea… this may not get her some mainstream publicity, but it will give her some “street cred” and be able to be in direct contact with a community who really pumps up the “dance” music genre… after an event such as this you can be sure to hear her music being played more in clubs and shit…. well, gay clubs.
and as far as lady gaga goes- she’s tired and used. nothing original on her part and she’s more of a one trick copy cat pony. i wanted to write whore… but pony is the term, right? pony, whores… all the same when it comes to here.

boa is talented and confident and is making great decisions in the direction of her music and career.

suerte!

Forevang31's avatar

MAN I SO WANT TO GO SO BAD! I’m so sad I have to live in Florida! So far away! I really would cry tears of joy if I EVER get to meet her in person!!!! That would be the best day of my life!!! After about 13 years of being her fan I’m am ABSOLUTELY PROUD of BoA for coming so far! I’m Really happy for her right now and I really HOPE this will defiantly jump start her career that is waiting to explode! <3333

there won’t be any protesting, sf displays their gay pride very openly. even the annual gay pride parade is very celebrated welcoming everyone regardless of their sexual preference. she is going to see some way crazy stuff, but everyone is there to have fun and a good time.
