BoA: Asia’s Hottest Pop Star

Welcome to Young Hollywood. com.

Hey Young Hollywood, it's Michelle Marie here with Boa.

Now, you are dominating over there in Asia, I hear.

Over 20 million albums sold in just Korea and in Japan alone.

That's insane.

Now, what is life like out there?

Are you getting followed by Paparazzi all the time?

Yes, ridiculous, right?

Insane.

But I think Asian Paparazzi is not like American Paparazzi.

So, it's pretty cool.

Tell us about your sound.

How would you like to describe it yourself?

I think my music style is Pop and dance.

Of course, I'm dancer too.

Yeah, you can check it out by video.

I did it for love.

Tell us about that single.

I mean, the sound is really catchy and I think that's a really good song for radio and clubs.

Music video is came out, so I danced a lot.

I use a lot of props.

So chair, canes, like that.

So I really like that music video, it's amazing.

Your album that's out here in the US is a self-titled, Boa, and you work with Sean Garrett as a producer, who is amazing.

Yeah, it was a really good experience to work with him.

He's so talented producer and he was so nice.

You're basically like, you know, the Britney of Asia.

Britney's fears.

I know that she's one of the artists out here that you really look up to as well.

What other people do you love out here in America?

These days, I really listen to Kanye, T. I. , T-Pain.

I love T-Pain music.

And of course, Rihanna, and these days Keri Hilson, like that.

Now, if you were to describe your style on a day-to-day basis, 'cause it's usually a little bit different, you know, overseas.

What are you wearing right now?

I don't know how to describe my style.

I think you're very elegant, but you're also a little edgy.

Oh, really?

Thank you.

I really like baggy pants or loose pants and jackets, like that.

Who would you love to work with out here?

Of course, Justin Timberlake, and Ne-Yo, T-Pain, Kanye.

There's so many.

You just hit 'em all.

But Justin's my favorite.

Yeah, I mean, his performance incredible.

That's what I hear about you that you love being on stage.

Do you consider yourself to have like a lot of energy, or what can we expect from you on a stage?

I don't know where the the energy comes from.

After I I watched some like stage or concert DVD, I move my body just seeing like that.

I can like live that.

Yeah.

Is it with me?

Like You have the natural talent, there's a reason why you're here crossing over to the US.

Really, yeah, thank God.

What is it like with your fans out there in Asia, and what do you expect out here in the US?

If I can give to my fans, I I'll give you everything with my music and stage.

So, just keep on your eyes.

Hi, Young Hollywood.

I'm Boa.

Thank you.

And hopefully, see you soon.

Bye.
