allkpop

the u.s music industry is totally different. sorry but for me sometimes its a bit too much. .they need to polish a lot more things. and those fans who bash on the jonas bros. just wake up if it wasn’t for the JB they wont have that opportunity to have such exposure with the crowd they bring. the u.s music industry is totally different to be that hyped this early.

i hope this will pave the way for other kpop artist to get into the U.S. market. congrats, WG! ^_^

I hope they will be successful!!

woow that’s amazing… i’m moved :’)

they deserve this ^^

ahh! thats soo cool..!!
good on them..and JB are spp awsome

Wow, I was just thinking. What if one of the Jonas got together with one of the Wonder Girls? Gasp, I don’t know what that would be like.

OMGSFJSD:LFKDJFDS WONDERRGIRLS <333 I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM .... im having second thoughts of them not making them not making it really big in the states now .. GOO WG <33

Je t’aime les Wonder Girls. Elles sont super! Vogagez-vous la France WG! ^^

I want to see the JB interact with WG on stage!

anyone KNOW WHEN WE WILL BE MEETING TOMORROW FOR THE VANCOUVER CONCERT (THE WONDER FANTASTICS PROMOTION TEAM)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyone from vancouver?

I wish the Wonder Girls success and good fortune.

even if they do get famous, they’re appealing to teenyboppers under the age of 16. most artists around that age aren’t really considered “talent” or real artists. they’re just eye-candy. end result: i still won’t gain that much respect. at least not as much respect as BoA since she is trying to appeal to a more mature audience. best of luck to WG though.

Wonderful Wonder Girls! Hope they make it big!

@59 : Yeah but the jonas brothers never even mentioned the WG once. Not even in their interviews about the concert…so we can forget that. I hope Papa Jonas isn’t the only Jonas who likes them, although I’m getting that vibe so far.

I love how the Jonas brothers’ dad was sooo nice to introduce Wondergirls that way :] Encouraging all Jonas fans to stand up. Awww sooo sweet!!!

OMG,That’s awesome,the girls are great.
Lucky people get to watch their live stage :(

Im so happy for them!

KUDOS!!!!!! WG FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ 64: not everyone is going to like WG. just deal with it and appreciate the fact that they’re even in a US concert filled with thousands of people.

Hey I live in Portland!

yay wonder girls!

thats awesome.
i think they have the best chance to make it here in america.

wonder girls!!! we support you all the way!!!!! just do your best!!!! we love you!!!! fighting!!!

Wonder Girls good luck !!

They were amazing! And they were so sweet. I really love them, and meeting them we such an awesome opportunity!!

Ughh jealousy, I smell jealously. Being an opening act does not mean they’re not working hard. It just papa jonas amazed enough by their talent that he trusts wonder girls to be in their concert. Haha so many ppl can’t accept this amazing oppurtunity. And remember jonas brother was an opening in miley cyrus’. Lady gaga was an opening in pussycat dolls’. And look how BIG they are now. Why don’t we as an asian or whoever that supports kpop, united our supports. Hope for their best so they can be a pioneer, open chances to other artists breaking to the states =)

@64. what the hell
I want Papa Jonas only Jonas like them.XD.
cos they are cute, sexy and pretty.
I don’t want any Jonas Brothers touched the girls.
please GoD, don’t ever like that happen.

i don’t think BoA has any more chance than s7ven, but WG are, at least in America, much more known and even accepted. BoA is trying too much to blend in and we don’t need anymore britney’s or whatever, we need something refreshing and the WG might have a chance just because of that. So far none of the people i have introduced to BoA have shown any real excitement or even acceptance to her, they say ‘‘yeah, whatever. cute korean’’ that’s it. s7ven? ‘‘umm…party guy, right?’’ WG ‘‘oooh, cute girl group? the ones with the CATCHY songs? damm, i got one of their songs stuck in my head, i can’t get rid of it!’’ That’s were WG success is: their catchy tunes. BoA lacks it, even if vocally or even dance wise she’s better than WG (which by the way, BoA dances very amateurish, nothing too impressive same as WG), Take care!

either they make it or not in states,
I really proud of them..

YEYY! soo cool^^

Nobody~ Nobody~

i cant wait to see them tomorrow

will there be a meet and greet at all the concerts?

meme(78): it is obvious that you are a bias and narrow-minded fan. i doubt that you even took a chance to look at the success BoA has received all across Asia, the kind of success that WG has barely touched. Are catchy songs ALL that WG rely on? They don’t rely on their talent? Their skills? Or may I say, lack of thereof? WG does not offer anything fresh. They offer what any teenybopper under the age of 16 want - eye candy with music that has no substance whatsoever. Tablo was correct when he was doing his interview with *. Koreans tried to change the trend and offer something fresh that they have lost sight of instilling that musical impression on Korean culture. Is WG seriously representing Korea with a song that mediocre and with a concept that represents more of the Western culture than the east? I am completely neutral with WG and I have nothing against them. I wish them the best of luck. But damn, sometimes you fans need to step down of your pedestal and look at things from ground level. BoA may not have the connections, but she has stayed true to herself, working hard and showing everyone who cares to watch just how capable she is in her abilities. She’s not relying on just flashy clothing, a glamorous music video, connections, and most of all CATCHY tunes to win people. Every artist willing to go out of Korea to represent themselves and their country should be respected, be it in Japan or US.  WG aren’t the only people trying to make a difference.

the problem with BoA and Se7en is there’s no need for a wannabe Asian Britney Spears or a wannabe Asian Usher when America already has the real thing.

Wow , I wish I was there. The girls are getting
their moves on :D

Damn aesthetic, you pretty much said it all. I have a problem with se7en because he changed the way he talks and the way he acts. However, BoA has stayed true to herself. She showed us that she is capable of dancing and singing while showing that she can still adapt to any kind of music put out there, which is what an artist should do. How is she a wannbe Britney Spears when she doesn’t dress like it or act like it? I also watched Seoulbeat’s interview with Epik High and I agree wholeheartedly with what they said. So many times have Korean artists such as WG try to change the concept of the music or the trend thatit fades fast and never really leaves an impression on Korean culture. As a result, it’s not a true representation of what Asia offers. it’s just another fad. I’m all for WG. My problem is that they are relying on the younger audience to gain attention, therefore not earning themselves the title of a “real” artist when compared to the American singers who appeal to a more mature group of people.

not me who label it,, many U.S media which featuring BoA mentioned she’s Asian Britney Spears.

you do know there are more ways than one to interpret what the media said. have it ever crossed your mind that the media meant it positively? that they associated britney’s past success to boa’s success in asia? seriously. be more open-minded.

hope that they don’t FAIL miserably in america… at least hope they do reasonbly well! WG ♥

god i hope they don’t represent Korea. I love WG and all. I think their songs are catchy. I want an artist that has true talent and skill to represent and pave the path for korean artist. Not an asian disney group targeting little children.

i love their outfits in Portland!  Yoobin rocks!! she is cute!!

well good luck to WG!
well actually BOA is getting big also ing the USA, its just that allkpop doesnt know it, she just made a free concert here in san francisco along with other new singers like beyonce knowles sister which is SOLANGE KNOWLES etc., BOA sang 3 songs.. including her new song here.. half of the audience were BOA’s fans after her half of the audience go home lol.thats all i just want to share it.

ditto aesthetic (82). no offense to WG, but I want an artist with substance to represent Korea.

@49 (what the hell) well,what the hell are YOU talking about? WG being the opening acts is a better strategy because a lot of people will be curious as to who exactly these girls are.. If they made them perform after the Jonas Brothers,do you think a lot of people will still pay attention to them since they have seen what and who they paid for? just STFU.

i hate seeoulbeats

Thats cool.. Wonder Girls making it big.

@zero: Boa and/or Se7en is no different.

anyone who thinks BoA can’t dance honestly hasn’t seen her dance. she’s pretty much the only female artist who could actually impress someone with her dancing without the need for being sexy or cute.

best of luck to WG. I hope they make it big. but i hope other more skillful artists make it before them. just my opinion.

hmmx i prefer the korean version. But this version is also not bad. ^^  hahahx in the video everybody have “buns”  XD

@ 94. nene: let’s look at that article, shall we? * says ” For the most part, America’s no longer into meaningless pop” What substance does the song Nobody really have? okay. next thing * has said “For instance, Jonas Brothers excluded, teenybopper boybands and girlgroups cease to exist. ” Wg is a girl group, aren’t they? So not only are they offering meaningless pop, but they are a group that already has a limited chance of succeeding based on the American music trend today. Seoubeats also said ” They ignorantly believe that riding the coattails of a famous American celebrity is the key in which they can become famous too. Frankly, it’s insulting. It’s insulting to assume that the American audience is THAT stupid.” Now what exactly is WG doing? * said “The American music scene is very different from the Asian music scene.” Why is WG offering the same music in Asia and hoping that it would appeal to America? I suggest you read that article yourself and think about WG before you start criticizing other artists. also, here’s a link to Seoubeats’ interview with Tablo, who articulates what is truly messed up Korean artists for this generation.

@96. haha: did I ever say BoA or se7en? no, I didn’t. I just want an artist that can truly represent Korea. real artists like Epik High. please don’t start assuming because it only makes you look worse.
