man min is the shit i heard a song a whil back with her in it and i went crazy she'll make it big

'Cause they sing in Japanese?

I guess its pretty much the same reason American artists can't make it big there: Language differences.

well in america there are some artist that brings spanish in their songs and americans still listen to it,
like Shakira, I wonder why too o.o asians can sing english and put some of our language in it or something.
i would support that if somebody does make it.

because maybe they can't really speak english...
i thought so

not ALLLASIANShave poor english skills..
it just depends on who it is,or wut dey r tryin to say.

Most are trained since as young as 10-14. But they still have accents. Asian music and fashion is still very different from mainstream America. Another thing is that the biggest Asian artists are people that are trained and produced by the Korean industry. So, they don't have their own songs and don't really get the credit as artists. Merely performers. Logically, if you didn't make it and are just performing it; you're not an artist, you're a performer. Asia is trying to break into the US with pop idol looks, fashion, etc. That's basically the formula for a boy band or teen idol. It won't be easy to break into the US (especially as a guy) as a boy band type of performer even if you claim that you aren't. Not only are boy bands a 90s thing, Caucasian image is too popular in America to lose out to Asian looks. Asia also doesn't have the same diversity as the US, I think. The US seems to have so much influence on the world because it has a huge pool of different cultures, personalities, styles, and talent. You want to find a Korean? You want to see a Cuban? etc etc.. You can find them all in the US. O yea. Americans find Asian music too pop/girly.

Check this singer out.

There are some good singers out there in Asia. I think the music industry in Asia worries about image and dancing too much. They just want them to have good singing skills then train them on singing. Rather than finding the ones who have incredible voices.

ummm... i agree with many of you...but i from how i see it...asian music and american music are TOTALLY different unlesss you take big bang- which they are like americanized which overall is yg family.....and sm town is like wayy girlyish for americans and jyp is just korean...so yeah that difference is pretty big and makes a difference....oh and im korean and dont really listen to other asian music so sorry if im being self centered on only korean music

It's naive to think America isn't a racist country. Don't kid yourself.

lol! well said...

Americans are racist. most whites and blacks and mexicans are racist toward asians becuase we generally considered less superior. becuase we generally have more money and study harder. but asians are the greatest race on the earth. america is a bad place to live most people here are ignorant and wanna live a thug life. which is stupid

Alright, I can see that you people here at CrunchyRoll aren't going to take my advice and think before you post, so I'm just going to start correcting the stupid people from time to time.

Obviously, I'm starting with aznluck7144 as the quote above is slightly hypocritical. Now, aznluck7144 is calling Americans racist, yet aznluck7144 seems to be referring to the Hispanic "race" as "Mexicans". I'm basing this on the fact that aznluck7144 mentions "whites", "blacks", and "asians" in the same sentence, all of which are considered "races". However, there is more to the "Hispanic race" than just "Mexicans", I'm afraid.

Furthermore, "Asians" are also considered "American" if they are born within the US or one of its territories. So, one could make the case that aznluck7144 is implying that Asian Americans are "racist" against the "Asian race" as well.

Lastly, there are quite a few "Mexicans" and Filipinos that have a little Spanish in them, seeing as they both had contact with the Spaniards a while back. The relationship they had with the Spaniards was about the same as well, so a lot of "Mexicans" and Filipinos have something in common as far as their blood goes, especially with all the time that has passed since those times. It's interesting that most Filipinos seem to embrace their "Asian" side more whereas "Mexicans" seem to foresake their "Native American" side.

At any rate, aznluck7144 is a moron and so are most of the individuals that posted after I did.

america isn't the only place ethier...japan is pretty racist as well

its because the typical asn pop star is not good enough to compete. even a superstar like utada hikaru is nothing special.

ever heard famous singers from asia speak english I have and majority of them sound like FOBS lol except Korean singer Eugene she speaks excellent english, I bet she's the best singer from Asia to have a great career here only if she wants to
