Pretty much. I don't think we'll ever see that tbh. I can't picture American people idoliziling an Asian pop star.

Why not?

There should be huge Asian pop stars in the US. K-pop and J-pop are just starting to get popular here. I mean asian pop stars have a massive fan base so idk why they don't cross over like European artists. (well I know why..)

Native Americans are less, ironically.

They're usually missing something. Like Psy had two hits I believe, and that was because it was catchy and had mass appeal. The Western and Asian markets are very different. What works in one place can't work in the other.

CL does have a chance. Besides the Asian population is so small. What alarming is the lack of Latino artists who make the largest minority group.

There's many latino's in the industry. It's a cultural minority, not racial, so it's harder to see.

Blame the racists who didn't let UTADA happen.

Asians are done so wrong in America
The racism

[Attitude]

Acts like Psy aren't really helping. They're only making them look like complete jokes.

Lol. Everyone knows this is false. Race plays a big factor in success and cross-over appeal

Yeah but other minorities have a strong market, like blacks and Latinos. Asians have no market or a very tiny one in the US despite being 5%. Meaning any chance of success will be based on crossover appeal. Who will they appeal too if they're not doing American style pop music?

I don't necessarily think it's a race thing. If a Japanese artist could go #1 in the 60s with a Japanese song when people were far less accepting then, they can now.

No it isn't.

The GP isn't here for Kpop and Jpop and there's no Asian pop stars making music that's good enough to become hits

Okay, Nicki stan.

[M!X]

Asian popstars simply don't make music that could smash on the radio + racism.

[Jaxswim]

Not many Asian pop stars have tried to cross over that I know of and anything that isn't in English isn't going to get good reception or radio play, so there's that. Also I don't think people in the US are all that here for Asian artists which is sad because they work really hard and a lot of them are really great.

I know she won't but I hope CL smashes

[Mickey]

A lot of talented Asian-American singers go back to Asia and get famous there. It is just easier for them to break into that market.
