Tens of thousands across the globe think Wonder Girls will be the biggest Asian pop stars in the United States.
As part of Asian American Heritage Month, NY1 featured a series of profiles of Asian musicians looking to make it in the United States last month. Then, posed the question as to who would make it big.
Out of the 20,000 people who voted, 64 percent thought Wonder Girls would be stars.
Utada came in second with 30 percent and Se7en received 6 percent.
All the artists have released or will soon release English-language albums.

Utada is already getting a lot of radio spins.
BoA might have a chance.. but what about Crown J? D8

Date: 2009-06-02 12:53 pm (UTC)I was really facepalming when I heard WG was doing an English nobody for their US debut but after watching JYP's interview, I understand and admire the fact that they aren't going to remould themselves totally to fit in, whatever no shame! <3

Date: 2009-06-02 03:30 pm (UTC)This poll is so stupid. I remember when it came out people were bashing each other about it on soompi....I personally feel it's totally incorrect...this poll was an online poll so really at the end it came down to which fanbase knew of the poll and which fans actually wanted to vote, versus those who didn't give a crap. PLUS how many NON-kpop/jpop fans do you actually think voted? NO one has time to search up people they aren't interested in.
the way i see it there is NO WAY WG will succeed over Utada, she's already made a name for herself here (made top 100 billboards, first Japanese since 86). Wonder Girls should really concentrate in Asia first, they've only debut for almost 2 yrs?

Date: 2009-06-02 11:55 pm (UTC)Utada and BoA still worry about Japan too much.
Se7en has stayed in America most of the time but he hasn't actually done anything. -o- He put out his single and that was it. wtf
WG was supposed to put out their single last month? I'm all for waiting until they get better with english and stuff. I'd also like to know wtf they're planning. How long is JYP really going to keep them here before he decides to make them do more korean stuff? Like going to korea for a commercial? :|
