Wonder Girls May Not Have A Chance

    Wonder Girls

    Call it what you will, but I am cheering for them none the less. The Wonder Girls almost opened for the Jonas Brothers last night in Kansas City… and that is a good thing. Here is what bothers me about it. They were only able to play one song and nothing else. Now, I am not trying to put down those hard working girls because I do want them to succeed in the US. However, with only 1 song played… “nobody but nobody” will remember them.

    Here is what I think JYP should do… not that he is reading this. First, he needs to get them airtime on MTV in the States and Much Music up here in Canada. I am talking about throwing a lot of money at them until they give in and play their music. Once they get some video time, they will most certainly get radio time as a result. All of the teeny-boppers will go nuts for them and you will here them about 300 times a day like you do any other pop song in North America.

    Next Step, he should get them on American Idol as a guest performer. I am sure that JYP has connections. I am talking about some real exposure. Lets face it, Wendy Williams does not have massive ratings and 1 song at a concert will not cut it in the cut throat US market.

    If the Wonder Girls are going to make it they need to give it a better go.

    To quote KCTV5 reporter on a recent news article, “The group is a top-selling artist in Asia and trying to make a name in the U.S. They performed their single “Nobody,” which sounds a lot like the Pussycat Dolls. With such a short time on stage, it’s tough to see if anyone will remember the act.”

    I think that they can really take the US by storm if they just went about it correctly. What JYP really needs is someone who has thier ear to the street…

    If you are interested in workign for JYP Entertainment they are currently accepting applications the last time I checked the website (yesterday). They are also having auditions… interested?

  1. i agree. they should write some more songs ( not the korean ones) for the American audience. I love the wondergirls korean music but i definitely don’t want to hear an english version of so hot.

    they’ve been going on the radio stations and making appearances. they made an appearance on national tv on the wendy williams talk show. but these are all baby steps for them because most people in north america know nothing about the wonder girls. and they only have the one english-language song for sale in the market at the moment. i would expect more promotion by the wonder girls AFTER their full first album for north america comes out in october or november. what’s been happening for them with the jonas brothers tour is more of an introduction to introduce them to public in north america and also to get the girls connected in the music industry in north america. jyp knows a lot about the american music market but getting the wonder girls to the next level in north america is going to be a long term project.
