“BoA transcends the limitations of any dance level. She’s like a blank canvas, able to have any picture painted on her. She surpasses any other singer of her generation.” — Flii Stylz, choreographer for Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Beyoncé, talking about BoA.
@fallingfl0wers@AvexChild On top of the offense of this post it's not even accurate. During Step Back, BoA went viral for her sharp moves and husky voice especially during the bridge... This post is such revisionist history
17 years ago today, BoA released her self-titled first album in English.
"BoA" was one of the very first ventures by a k-pop artist into the United States market and made history as the first album by a Korean act to enter the Billboard 200 chart.
After 'My Name,' BoA hated how people sexualized her, so she cut her hair, changed her stage look, and chose "Girls on Top" as her next single.
The song faced backlash for its feminist message and BoA had to defend it, but it empowered millions of girls.
Happy Women’s Day!
“It has a message to let go of the prejudice that women are powerless. My opinions were reflected in everything from the lyrics and outfits. SM wanted MOTO to be the title track, but I insisted on Girls On Top. I hope women will find strength in my songs." — BoA, defending GOT.
