Wonder Girls sounded good with Nobody. However, a song easily translated into english, with an english feel to it already is going to be easy success. American People want to see...well themselves. Wonder Girls pretty much did that. The big difference is that they bring to the table something that hasn't been done in a while: A Girl Group. I'm not trying to water down their success, it's a good combination. Personally, I feel that BoA's success was ruined by her fans being overly picky and Asian-philes. If it wasn't the Asian stuff, it wasn't right. I also believe that Exodus was the fanbase as well. (Granted, one song was a bit...iffy, but that was still a great CD) People wanted the Japanese Hikki songs to American, etc.

Both BoA and Utada had issues due to the fanbase (not saying everyone, but enough of the people complaining early on to make waves.) and maybe a bad song choice. BoA's I believe was due almost entirely to the fanbase. The first issue was the "Eat you Up" MV. The second version was NOT bad. As a matter of fact it made MORE sense than version A. (Went much more along with the song.) The dancing was equally as good. People just chewed it up because they were so obsessed with what came out of Asia. Then people were like, "That's not BoA..." "What kind of songs are these? BoA doesn't do that." It was Pop/RnB. It's what BoA does. The same goes for Utada. She is still Utada...she's writing her own freaking music. If it's not Utada, then who is it? Songs had underlying meaning to them and some of them were straight fire.

Now with Utada's 2 releases and BoA's there was another problem. Advertisement, and availability. I remember I had to visit FOUR different stores before I found a copy of the CD. The sad part is nobody knew of the release, and I found the CD, not the employee. That was the nightmare fo Exodus. For BoA's CD, I went to about 4 or 5 different stores before I found it.Then I had to order it off Amazon. Freakin' Utada's CD pissed me off because I RESERVED the friggin' CD. Then they were like, "Oh, well we didn't get any copies in. We can order it for you." I was like 'eff that, give me my money. I went home, and when I was about to get it off Amazon, someone told me about her CD at Walmart in a different city. I was headed there later, anyway, so I got it then. It's a nightmare trying to get stuff when there's no release support.

I don't think JYP's arguements are sound at all. It's sad that he's gotta act so cocky. I still wish the best for Wonder Girls. They deserve it. I just hope BoA isn't discouraged, nor is Utada. (She's got sold out shows. I have friends that missed the ticket sales. I also have people that were willing to go check her out.)
