BoA, I wish you the best in your endeavor to conquer the U.S. pop music market - just don’t get all mixed up with that shady Britney Spears character. She’s a bad egg. I know she seemed nice when she visited you in Korea a few years back, but a lot’s happened since then and - well, you don’t really need people like that in your life. I’m just trying to help you, girl. Peace.

Perky asian female singers aren’t really my bag (well, unless you count Puffy Ami Yumi) - but I was pleased to hear that South Korean pop star BoA will be releasing her new album (which apparently remains untitled) in the U.S. The recording, which will contain her new single ‘Eat You Up’, will launch on iTunes on October 7th and in stores on October 17th.

Say, anyone remember when Britney Spears and BoA appeared together on that Korean T.V. special…? I do! And so does YouTube. The whole thing was a bit unnerving and contrived, which pretty much sums up Britney Spears as a whole…
