They don't need to. They're already big in Asia and better than America. So ha!

asians only make up like 5% of US population, and of that 5% is like 15 different races of asian. race plays a big part in marketing and fan base

It probably be better for Asian singers to go to Asia to make it big..
I heard Elise Estrada made it big in the Philippines trying it in Canada.

Because the majority of people in America play it safe and don't want to delve into music in different languages.

Now are we just talking about already established Asian artists in asian countries, or Asian Americans too? Because American culture is American whether you're asian or not Image

Gosh, I'm asian, but yet I feel somewhat offended about what some people have to say, because not only am I asian, I AM an AMERICAN, being an American doesn't mean you're caucasian, which I'm sure that is what most people are referring to. So when people say AMERICAN'S are racist, I feel as I'm being reffered to as one. But don't you think for calling Americans racist make you racist? I think it's not that asians aren't able to make it in the U.S, I just think that we're not quite there just yet, of course we have talent, but what's the rush, we're still progressing there. The U.S market is hard to crack into. You think black people made it so easily up there, I'm sure it took years, and look at where they are now, hip/hop&r&b pretty much top the charts these days. Hispanics are up there, Latinos are up there, and Euroupeans are climbing up there too, I just think that in time we will be up there, maybe not now, but I know in the future.

Hey I'm like you asian from america, although I don't have the same opinion as you the thing is the # of Asian's in America are too little. It's real hard for them to really make it big. The only one that I think made it big in America is Rain, in addition Americans, well some of the ones I know can't tell one person from another, they think that it's the same person.

So if Asian's ever hit it big in America it's going to take a long time. Before American's can accept the new change.
