nathaniel 4,315 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 CNN airs the Taiwanese version of "Bo Peep Bo Peep", controversies arise The U.S News channel CNN reported on the popular Taiwanese singer Lotus Wang (42)'s new song 'Bobee', but has been controversial amongst Korean fans. CNN and MTV introduced Lotus Wang by mentioning how she has sold more than 100 million records and started a worldwide craze over YouTube with her latest song 'Bobee'. They also gave her high praises, comparing her to Beyonce. However, after it aired, it appeared on various online bulletin boards and received many complaints from Korean fans on how 'Bobee' wasn't the original, and how they did not even mention T-ara's name. In fact, Lotus Wang's 'Bobee' was a remake of T-ara's Bo Peep Bo Peep' and was reproduced with the permission of agency officials and the composer. Netizens said, "They aired a parody instead", "It's a remake, right? It's not plagiarism?", "T-ara's music videos have much more hits on YouTube. They do not even know what they are reporting," and were very bitter. *** Source: Nate Written by: Baek Eunbyul Translated by: Nathaniel @ Diadem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

williamlie 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 maybe CNN doesn't really know about the origin of that Taiwanese "Bo Peep Bo Peep", it's normal for netizens to complain because yes, it's really annoyed when our favorite group like T-ARA isn't being mentioned meanwhile the one that's plagiarism is being praised highly..I really hate that!! >.< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chinsian 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 Now I really hate her for making this remake song! It's like spoiling the original song, like making fun of it! If such stupid songs made it to CNN, then I feel T-ara should have been on CNN for many times more already!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☆ 원유란 21 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 that's seriously insane, it's not good at all >____< I watched it, and I like the T-ara one sooo much better (not just because I'm a T-ara fan lol, their quality + vocals were just much better), so how come this one's getting so much publicity? gaah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotary Knight 1 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 Sucks that T-ara wasnt mentioned. If T-ara made it to a CNN broadcast, I would be very happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachevena 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 I have conflicting feelings about this. I like Lotus Wang but what she did was wrong. I hope T-ara and their song writers are given proper credit in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malkacenian 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 Well atleast she got permission from the composer and agency, but kinda wish there was a mention that it was a remake of T-ara's song. Seems like everyone like the BoPeep Tune haha. too bad it wasn't T-ara's version. but im sure, since the fans of T-ara that are making a fuss about it, it'll spread that the thai version isn't the original and T-ara will get recognition in another way. T-ara Fighting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elly 1,651 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 Wow. How dumb. I'm just sayin' CNN needs to start looking at the history of stuff in Asian Entertainment before they report it. So they don't appear stupid. Gosh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alyssarawr 104 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 When I watched it on CNN, I just kept "wow-ing." CNN really couldn't say "a cover of a South Korean group named T-ara" or at least say that it was a cover of BPBP? " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva31s 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 CNN should apology to T-ara and make a statement that original version is from 'T-ARA' Well CNN people's didn't do their homework !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bilun 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 why CNN concerned more about music rather than news? well it's just CNN didn't give proper credit.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christina. 11 Report post Posted January 27, 2011 I was kind of disappointed how T-ara wasn't even mentioned... I mean it's their song... at least give them some credit. Maybe it's just my personal taste but I don't really like the taiwanese one... the original is the one I fell in love with and no remake is going to replace it.
