I'm so curious about see them at david letterman show lol

Yeah, I think an interview would be incredibly awkward but it will probably just be the performance at the end of the show.

Wow!!!!!! Super congrats!! This is essiting!!!!

[kim-jaejoong.livejournal.com]

holy. shit. this is big! :D

[seungtoria.livejournal.com]

david letterman is kind of pretty big, isn't it?

[scarletfbl.livejournal.com]

Yup. One of the biggest late night talk shows (If not the biggest, rn, since I haven't checked the ratings recently. could be Leno, though).

[aures.livejournal.com]

curious how they will do.. i hope it won't be awkward (even though they have jessica and tiffany to talk)

[scarletfbl.livejournal.com]

TBH, having only 2 girls to talk for all 9 of them is awkward enough.

:OO

!!!!

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

are they going to be interviewed by david or they're just gonna perform there?

[geonitacka.livejournal.com]

Someone replied to me that it was performance only

[luvey.livejournal.com]

again i hope more girls speak. tbh i'm really surprised by them appearing on two shows. maybe SMe (or i have the feeling interscope) finally starting to understand that if they want to release in the US, proper marketing is needed? i wish they had did this for BoA, it would be easier for one instead of nine.

but i have a feeling jokes will fly over most of the girl's heads. it wouldn't surprise me if David Letterman and Howie Mandel (who is said to be co hosting Kelly that week) would make a pot joke about Snoop if the remix or connection with him is mentioned.

SME really needs to take what some of the fans are saying to heart (and even some of the antis), and have the girls learn English and/or whatever language is prevelant in the market they're trying to enter as full-time/part-time artists. There's no way they'll be accepted by people here if they don't speak at language spoken by the majority.

IDK if SME's just uncomfortable with having their girls speak, or if they think having 7 of the 9 girls using the other 2 as translators is a good move. *shrugs*

On the cultural differences thing, unless they've spent a large amount of time in the US like the WGs have, I'm sure there will be many an awkward moment in interviews.

brb practicing the cringe

[blkjck.livejournal.com]

good luck!

I fear for the convos after the fact.
Kelly, audience older women mostly & some men thrown in there. DL, mix of younger and older w/m & sometimes kids. It will be interesting to see the reaction. SM will comeback and say that they were loved by everyone and fast becoming Americas favorite kpop group.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

SM, Korea papers, hardcore stans -- "Girls Generation are becoming the number one girl group in the Americas" ....leaving out the fact that we don't have many girl groups, if any.

[bellaprincess9.livejournal.com]

Wow. I wonder how they got those gigs. I'm definitely recording/watching next week!^^

[luvey.livejournal.com]

most likely slow guest week, since ratings week is either before or after ....for some reason i'm thinking after.

[nnejck.livejournal.com]

SNSD is the first Korean singers to guest star on a talk show on any major American broadcasting channels.

Uhh, no. The Wonder Girls appeared on the Wendy Williams Show back in '09. That show airs on Fox, which is a major American broadcasting channel.

[firelakie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I knew WG did a show!

[yukahoo.livejournal.com]

Well then...

I hope they wear something kick-ass. Nothing too uniform, and better leave the tiaras home... Maybe the equestrian getup..?

Yikes! I'm especially looking forward to the Letterman one=)

[scarletfbl.livejournal.com]

OMG, I pray to the Sweet Baby Jeebus that they ditch the tiaras on the plane ride. And, IAA about the non-uniformity thing. Something to tie all their outfits together is OK, but nothing too matchy-matchy like their past getups.

[scarletfbl.livejournal.com]

Seriously, my jaw dropped. This is pretty big. Go, girls!

They should take a note from their Japanese naysayers and learn adequate English, though. Watching/listening to interviews where only 2 girls speak is very awkward.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

Cringing in advance. I love them, but can SM please drop this?

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

yea ikr. lol america is not worthy of my goddesses tbh.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Wishing them a good show.

[violetrosie.livejournal.com]

I hope they do really well and don't look too exhausted. When they were on that MTV show after SM Town NYC, a lot of people were alarmed because Taeyeon and Yoona looked half dead. Potential fans aren't going to be attracted to the idea that you work your artists into the ground. They'll need energy and I hope they have it.

Good luck girls!

Oh god no Tippany's english make me cringe alittle. But this is super awesome, I don't know Boys would get them noticed, it's too blah. They should have taken that Time Machine song or something.

[vizallati.livejournal.com]

too bad jessica might have drama filming during this? :/

[asiapopsecret.livejournal.com]

[soheefan.livejournal.com]

I hope this helps get people more interested in the WG movie that's premiering a day later and also makes it easier for WG to book some late night shows/morning shows. Maybe Ellen

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

WONDERGENERATION ON ELLEN WOULD BE AMAZING!! OMG TOO BAD THERE'S NO MORE OPRAH.
