Not really.
Boa will have her first official concert on the west coast December 6, 2008 during KIIS FM 102.7’s Jingle Ball concert featuring artists like Chris Brown, Pussycat Dolls, and Rhianna. But, she is not part of the main line up.
According to Ryan Seacrest, one of the radio hosts, she will be performing during the “special Pre-Show Performance in the Jingle Ball Village with KIIS Mixers and Tokio Hotel”, a German group who also crossed over to America. (It’s kind of sad how they’re included into the poster but she’s not.)
In other words, her performance is free and anyone can experience it as long as their are in the vicinity but it’s good exposure and will definitely be a good measure to see how Americans will receive her.
So if you’re in the area and are attending the concert check out the Jingle Ball Village and let us know what you thought about her performance.
WOW! COOLIE! I wish I lived there though =\
At least she’s getting out there…
Aw man i want to go
but its on the same day as my winter ball dance
:[[
sad sad
i almost bought tickets for jingle ball. but i would have only been going for tokio hotel. and it just didn’t seem justified. I’m surprised that KIIS FM is including her at all…hardly anyone even knows who she is. Although, I could’ve sworn I heard her song on that station last week…so who knows.
I thought it was Kiss FM 106.1 not 102.7!!!
@tiffa
nawww…it’s 102.7
come to NY u fkersssss!
I wanna watch coz of the special guests ONLY. haha.. LOL..
DAMMIT! i’m going to the one in SAC. LA’s too far! DAMMIT!
whoa! she’s in my neck of the woods. Jingle Ball rocks every year!
well tokio hotel is actually getting pretty famous… and well boa isnt
Yeah, it is really good exposure, even if she’s not main lineup so it’s good for her anyway.
@ tiffa
KISS FM depends on the area. for chicagoland it’s 103.5
sorry if i misunderstood your comment btw <3
well tokio hotel was really huge last year, so they will attract people…her? not so much
wowww…TOKIO HOTEL!!yeayy…liebe euch!
your a bit behind
It really is sad how they include Tokio Hotel when BoA is so much more talented than them. She speaks better english too >____>
^
haha you joking right?
Yeah she’s not on the poster (lol) but it’s good exposure anyway. Best of luck to BoA.
lol and there’s a frkn space next to Tokio Hotel too. x.x
yahh autographs~!
uahuahuahuaha. that’s so mean.hahahaa. boa?
definitely going !
Too bad I won’t be there. The only one I’d be able to attend is the one starring Jesse McCartney, David Archuleta, etc. since I live closer to this Jingle Ball.
wow I wish I were there
Psht Tokio Hotel sucks..their merchandise is all over Germany.
Well I went there 2 years back when they were not that famous
i love tokio hotel
JESSE MCCARTNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tee hee
eww… estelle…
It’s funny that MENUDO gets their picture on the poster and not BoA. Maybe, the ’sexy’ pictures BoA took were to much for them or they don’t get her shots in time.
Hah.. maybe they just didn’t have any BoA-pictures or lost them.. :C… Well, they could have included her name at least if that was the case, though.
her song “ill eat you up” or something like that
is sort of weird… no offense to BoA lovers
out there or somthing but i dont think shes
gonna make it to the big times in america ;;
I would attend for Chris Brown and Jesse MacCartney…
cool~ TOKIO HOTEL’s going!!! XD
anyway, Boa’s going to perform ‘Eat you up’? uhh… love the dance but the lyrics? @_@ it’s bad for children~ now the Korean Government should act on THAT - THAT is BAD lyrics (what was the composer thinking about anyway when he wrote that song??? o_O) . hehe…
well best of luck to her performance anyway~
how come nobody wants to come to Australia?
kinda disappointing
iloverain
yeah~~~~~ come to australia!!!!
BOA… stop dreaming! You will not be famous unless someone famous partners up with you or endorses you. And please practice english! sorry but just stating my opinion…
omfg Oo
Tokio Hotel will perform but BoA not? >...>
Lucky they are not in Germany at the moment .___.”
Wtf?!? LA gets Chris Brown, Estelle AND BoA? In MN its TI, Rihannah, Boys Likes Girls and other dumb people. Haha let’s do a little switching we don’t need TI
woah shes doing way better than se7en
I am from Europe - Latvia and i know that Tokio Hotel is number one boy band in all europe !! i Think that TH is much popular in America than Boa (i think in europe nobody knows boa)exept asians and me (i am not asian)
TH?? they suck i hate them (and i’m from germany) why not boa? i dont get it boa is way better than tokio hotel will ever be…
its not sad that tokio hotel is included..they arent new to the american market, and they have ALOTTTTT of american fans…but BOA is super new to america..thats y shes not on the poster
sweeeeet im totally gonna go (;
anybody know where its going to be? like specifically o-o
kkkk., She is so cute girl!
the other day i heard eat you up playing in the background of a ad while i was in my car and i was like 0_0
it was an ad for BoA on z100….which is the number 1 radio station in the new york/new jersey area.
i was so surprised, whoever is promoting her is doing a good job getting her a little exposure. lets see how well she does with this concert.
wish her the best of luck!
Tokio Hotel is actually pretty famous here in the states, and they’ve even performed at an MTV awards show. I’m not surprised they were put on the flyer and she’s not–to be honest, her performance was probably a last minute thing.
I hope she does well, but I doubt this’ll be the best place for her to perform while she’s still new and undiscovered (even though her efforts are taking her further than other KPOP acts). I always thought that if BoA were to come to America, she’d perform at an anime expo or something (since she did an anime closing for Inuyasha if I’m not mistaken).
Plus, she’s bound to be outshone by all the other famous acts performing that night.
LOL what a joke.
But then again half the performers performing suck, she’ll fit right in. lol
I’m really amazed to see ppl talking about Tokio Hotel on that popseoul site lol. Yeah well i used to enjoy seeing them live before America ruins them by making them sing in english ! hehehe…xD
Anyway as for BoA, well if she’s not on the flyer, at least ppl will have a surprise xD
I hear a lot from people saying they heard her song during an ad on a radio station, but not the actual song being played like a normal song would be. To get exposure, shouldn’t her song be on the radio station playlist? SM can buy an ad, but they don’t have enough pull to get the actual song played? Ha!
Popseoul, it’s spelled RIHANNA
thats really sad
oh well at least ppl gonna see her anway
it this gonna be on air..? it be cool to see her
allkpop.com made it sound like she was part of the main performances.. those liars BD
i wish i could go!! theyre all performing on my birthday :[
AHHHH!!!! MENUDO!!!!!!!<33333333333333333333
I think this is a really good start for Boa. I love her performance of Eat You Up on Youtube Live Tokyo. I’m sure she will rock it at Jingle Ball as well. Good luck Boa!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha….
poor shorty!!!
i have extraordinary great laugh!
just keep low profile Boa
i love you this way
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha….
BoA’s only an opening act for Tokio Hotel. If I remember correctly, she’s not even at the actual event; it’s at the Jingle Ball Village, where there are a bunch of stands and whatnot to promote and sell items, with a smaller stage for a mini-performance.
Nonetheless, it’s always better to get some exposure than no exposure, so this performance obviously can’t hurt. I think the main emphasis they’re putting on her is for the Dec. 3rd performance, so I wish her all the luck on that one.
I’m more than anything dying for her physical single to be released. I think SM wanted to get a good scan of how much they might sell by having the online release, and apparently, they don’t think a physical single is going to sell enough, so maybe they won’t even launch one (and I’ll just have to wait until the album, but ah, whatever happens happens).
Anyhow, I wish this hard working girl all the luck of the industry!
man… this little girl (but she looks like my big sister who’s 32 o_O) need to work harder (that wont help either i think), seriously.
nobody seems to pay attention on her with her US debut but her fans and some korean media. no progress, nothing.
good luck though, the girl gonna need it a lot
Why is she performing at Jingle Ball?
I just find that funny.
Even though she’ll only be at the pre-show, it’s still a huge exposure for her.
ps: Tokio Hotel, they aren’t good!
So she’s performing at the Jingle Bell Village which sounds like a flea market with its stands and booths, ha lol! Yeah, okay!
^ To One Day,
neither is Boa, so they’ll be in good company.
^
wow lol
hey hey. watch your spelling.
Huh..i wish i live in NY D:
hmm idk anything about TH maybe i should google-ing about them..but, seems like most ppl here hate TH..
XD idk why you guys hate them..any reasonable explanation?
anw, all the best n good luck for boa..
i havnt heard much about her progress, even i thought she has been dumped by the company(idk the company name)..
Ohh boa i wish one day you can come to oz..
Wow, cut some slack people she only just started making her scratch in America starting in mid September, its been what? 2 months and a half? That’s pretty damn good for the amount of time. its really hard to market new artists, Lady Gaga and Colby O’Donis who are both talented still haven’t reached true stardom yet, BoA will probably take just as long if not longer to make a giant splash, for now lets be happy with what we have, unless you don’t like her music.
BoA, yOU WILL ROCK
AND MAKE ALL THE HATERS SHUT UP!
OMG!!!! chris brown will be there?! i’ve seen him perform live last month and since then i became a big fan of his! rihanna is also a good performer ^___^
popseoul, the right spelling is RIHANNA and not RHIANNA
i wish i could go there!!..
its a shame shes not on the poster..but mayb after that
exposure she’ll get more popular here!!
…TH? God, those kids really made it into the music business o_O
maybe i should go
people are probably gonna make fun of her accents here and there of her songs
but nahh its not gonna be anywhere else BUTT in la.
kiis fm IS in la haha cheauh
Are they saving the best for last? With BoA’s picture missing they might present her for last act. Wouldn’t that be great?
By the way, in California if you write down Boa’s name as BoA, others might think that’s Bank of America. On the other hand, if they write it as Boa, the younger teens might think it’s a boa constrictor especially if they do not know that Boa is a female Korean popstar. Anyway, hoping that Boa will make it big in the U.S. Lots of luck!!
^ Boa as the last act!? Ha, yeah maybe she’ll be made to clean the stage after everyone has gone! Ha! lol!
She’s not last. She’s just an opening act for Tokio Hotel. Her spot is not considered important so that’s why she’s not on the website.
how was it?
lol @ boa fans wanting her to be last.
Jokes right?
Please with big international names like Rihanna and such up there BoA should be thankful if she even gets to smell her sweat somewhere backstage, LOL.
Last, LOL. You guys must be on drugs.
BoA is a nobody.
Look Who’s Talking @ Jingle Ball:

LWT is better than EYU, but ugh, still needs better lyrics.
Quote from Jpopmusic forums:
“And I heard the Tokio Hotel fans saying “‘That stupid asian b!tch was AWFUL. We don’t need another Britney Spears.’”
I think getting a negative response form the Tokio Hotel fans was something to be expected.
They’re rock fans, and most every single rock lover that I know despise pop singers (and for some reason think that every single rock singer can sing better than a pop singer, which is entirely misleading, considering that there are so many of those emo/alternative rock bands with “talk singing” vocals).
Overall though, I heard that a few BoA fans got to meet her and whatnot, so I’m sure they had a good time, and that’s all that mattered for those who went.
i want to see BoA
well that cool that she gets to be there
i dont get it why does a korean popstar goes to america and peform. boa looks like a wannabe yea yea yea her song is in english so
