Joo transforms into '2nd Boa'

Joo transformed into a '2nd Boa', performing Boa's "My Name" on May 8 for Mnet M! Countdown.

Does she live up to the original?



Check out the original performance by Boa in 2004.

didn't Joo once said she sucks at dancing and that was the reason she didn't got in SNSD or something Wondergirls..?

No one can beat Boa....she's too damn good

sorry but boa beats anyone.
shes like too good for anyone to try to be her.

i am so gonna confess this!!!
all this time i thought she says "WHIP ME"
it turned out it was "WITH ME"???


Seems like Joo is not gonna give up until she makes a fool out of herself!
JYP dear .. give up already!!!! not every singer will be able to make it hon!
you know this better than I!

omfg there are like 20 million "2nd Boa"s

^^ hah i agree
nothings better than the original
and honestly if i was a hella famous artist and someone compared me to an amateur singer who cant even dance i'd be slightly super pissed.
anyways nice try joo.

Boa is defintely better than Joo... although Joo wasn't that bad..

Joo's not bad ... her voice does match this song ,as a ballad singer - her dancing is not bad too

but nothing beats the Original ^^

hahaha XD brave girl! her dancing is okay, but i guess comparing it to BoA's... she still has a lot more work to do.

NO ONE. Can beat BoA. She's like one of the most talented female artiste in Korea. All those stuff about second ____, it's just too publicity like. How can anyone be compared to BoA?

It's quite okay, but why the sudden change from Sweet, innocent to sexy, sultry? Why is every female artiste trying to change into the sexy type? There were so many shakes and slides that my eyes almost couldn't take it. Why are they always trying to compare themselves with other artiste? Why don't they want to be original? I really prefer originality than being able to copy someone else really well. Besides, who can copy the original well except the original itself?

Joo's dancing is not that bad and it looks really polished and well-rehearsed. She does look a little in her element, but the change is just too great for me to understand. Her singing is okay, but if it was stronger it could be better. I would say that it was good effort put in. Her voice was a little too polished too, I'm guessing it isn't live.

Even the clothes are similar. I shall check out BoA's. BoA's voice was stronger and had more emotions, but I think it wasn't the best of BoA..

If this is true then...

That's hella sad

^ the prove 8)

her smile is just too sweet...i guess it takes time to get used to it as a sexy smile. Her voice is really beautifull :heart:

well boa dances better.. but joo's voice is better.. and you can't hear the tiredness in joo's voice.. but you can hear it in boa's voice.. and joo is still young and her face has no wrinkles.. and i like her pants. sooo........

GO JOO!

Joo can't be Boa never!!

Joo should stick to ballad songs ~

of course Joo can never be as awesome as BoA, but it wasn't as bad as i thought i would be. BoA just has too much power and she puts everything into her dance. Joo's dancing and singing was good but not much power went into it.. maybe because it wasn't her song?

the first thing i see is her outfit...it doesn't suit her at all..she's too skinny...

lol even if the most awesome dancer in teh world tried to follow boa...i dont think they can ..really do it. I mean the dance would be awesome and it would be really really good, but there's something about her that BoA makes the dance and the song her own. ((im not a boa fan btw)).

like ive seen a lot of really awesome dancers in Youtube do Boa's My Name and it looks awesome, but as they say, nothing can really beat the original.

Joo, you're beautiful, talanted and you know it.
So stop trying to be BoA please. Just be you. :)
