Discussion: Is Girls Generation the Britney Spears of our generation?

Comedor

- Global act ✓
- Flawless generic pop music ✓
- Great choreographies ✓
- Biggest in their field ✓
- Impact ✓
- Responsible for the beginning of a movement ✓

I mean if we look at both acts, we can draw a lot of similarities.

So I ask, is Girls Generation the Britney Spears of our generation?

Death at you thinking they aren't global.

I don't know who they are, so no.

I Am Music

Nnn the slight race teas when asian artists are called global

SNSD has a huge International following and SMs YT views come from western territories so let's not.

Kanji

But where are their hit singles in the western market

Lol, goodbye.

Most global act K-Pop for damn sure. They are big in America, Europa and Asia.

Plus their Youtube Video Of The Year.

ZENO

I need my 9 gurls to slay da world with their english album (that I'm waiting since 2011).
After they'll get a no.1 a la Baby One More Time, then my answer would be a yes, and actually I can totally see this happen, I mean they have all the right cards and considering that they're discography is mostly korean and japanese, they achieved A LOT worldwide.
They need to prove to western people that the origin of an artist and the language barrier isn't always an obstacle, but as I said they're actually doing a pretty good job anyway.
They could take a little break from the Japanese Market and focus on the English Marked after their best album release, I really wonder what they're gonna do for their english release.

Great K-Pop act, yes. Britney Spears of our generation, not at all. They're a whole different thing.

They don't want to invest in the US right now, still, they already have a HUGE following.

Hits are just waiting to happen, they make great radio music.

This is the definition of a truly global girl group. Girls' Generation showing all other girl groups who's boss.

Scandalous

yes and even though they dont have and hit single in the western market they have a surprisingly HUGE fanbase here

Isnt wonder girl's Nobody more successful in us that the boys?

I Am Music

The girls were working on an english album but since they were working with the guy who did BoA's album I am glad that didn't happen.

MINKI

Yes, there's Taeyeon and Britney who both date men who aren't up their status and don't look interested on stage. And the girls giving attitude during their Mr Mr comeback, giving us Femme Fatale promo teas.
Queens!
