Yeah I agree BoA is like Britney, but BoA has better vocals imo. And if anyone watched the BoA/Britney 2003 christmas special. Watching that, BoA dances better and they both obviously lip sync.
yeah well whenever a singer tries to sing english versions of thier korean/jap/chinese songs. Its always bad. Take Because ima girl for example
