For me, it's both Adult Contemporary Music and Jazz.


I know lots of you may find these genres boring, but here are my proofs:

DO THE MOTION (whole single)

BoA's cover of Dreams Come True's Egao no Yukue and LOVE LOVE LOVE (I was looking for a youtube video to share but couldn't find any)

Also, I really liked Dotch. at least, I liked it more than Key of Heart.

In my opinion, BoA's current style of singing fits these genres nicely. I would love to hear her sing more songs under these categories in the future.


Your thoughts?

Something catchy, but not repetitive. Also, she needs something in which she can show off her vocals more. Most of her vocals on the new album were ... meh.

I think something unique would work as well, but it has to be well produced.

Valenti is a perfect example of all of these factors. Personally, I loved Eien as well, and if it was promoted enough, it could've become a huge hit, but it wasn't >_>

Do The Motion was another example of something catchy, but unique. Most of the tracks on Identity are too repetitive to become "hits", except the singles & Possibility.

I think jazz with some contemporary as well as a touch of R&B would be nice...  

DO THE MOTION was good & I think BoA could work in that direction & I certainly love Eien so much too...
I would think that Spark is something nice & the unique style of music could work...
Definitely, I believe if BoA made more songs like Possibility, I would be really happy...

About Valenti, that's definitely true, but I guess it's obvious that she'll probably never sing those types of song again (add Listen to My Heart to that), although if she does, I might jump out of joy.

If given enough effort, and with the right people, BoA's team can surely do lots of songs that are better than Do the Motion. Too bad that's not happening right now. One artist that I know who has been consistent in releasing good types of songs in these genres is Mika Nakashima. I was pretty disappointed with her 4th album but her latest studio album was good, minus the rock songs.

Right now by listening to her new album, I can see that she's heading to these genres of songs (+ RnB). I just hope that next time the improper use of autotune will be ditched.

since no one has uploaded this video to youtube yet, I'll just give the link to the download thread here:
BoA from "DO YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE? SPECIAL LIVE! (Egao no Yukue + Love Love Love)
credits to Some!

No R&B I think. Her voice doesn't suit it at all.

SOMETHING FIERCE. lol
I'm thinking if she has a hot enough track, she will put more life into her lives, and more people will be interested in her.
A dance song, because that's what she's best at. Something with a hot beat, but is NOT repetitive and does not use a LOT of autotune. Also something in the mid-high range, because she has weak low notes.

i think it is still possible to sing some of the songs from last time, but without the dance though.
Songs like Listen to My Heart, Sekai No Katasumi and rather most ballads.
There are a quite a few "old" songs sang recently also, like in Youtube Live when Listen to My Heart is sang,
BoA the Live 2009 where Midnight Parade and Kokoro No Tegami.

And I think what BoA need might be songs that are much following the trend now, catchy and yet unique enough to standout.
I like songs like Eien, Mamoritai and Possibility.
So i would say songs that probably showcase more of her vocals and towards the style she wants to be.
Dance or Ballads i don mind.

I think for BoA to gain success in the United States she needs to move into a true R&B style.  If she looks to artists such as Rihanna I think she could find a good niche.  However, she obviously needs to take R&B and create her own style of it, that's what will get her noticed here.
In Asia I'm not entirely sure.  I hear a lot of people saying she should return to her roots.  I think that would be an awesome idea, but she should do it with a twist.  She could look back to her GoT days or even Valenti but add a bit of her new style into the mix.  This would give her a whole new sound that would hopefully please all her fans.

[pocketboi]

^Agreed. Its not like I dont like her new style but I cant help but miss the good 'ol GoT days...

[Angel X]

The girl should cover DCT's 'LOVE LOVE LOVE' & release it as single IMO. <3

[meanpplrmean]

something eye catching like ke$ha tik tok



no offense to brittny and miley cyrus fans

but i think boa should punch them in the face when theres tons of press around
