Go To

1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Quite a few of her songs. "Energetic" from her English album was pretty epic, and the entire ''Hurricane Venus'' album was kickass from start to finish. Her J-Pop album ''Identity'' also fits this trope as it featured a sound more akin to her recent electropop as opposed to the fluffier pop she usually is known for in Japan.
2* BrokenBase: Quite a few times. There are the fans of her older K-Pop music who don't really care for her newer K-Pop material, and vice-versa; there are the fans of her K-Pop music who aren't fans of her J-Pop music, and vice-versa; there are fans who prefer her "Baby Music/{{BoA|Korea}}" image to her more mature, grown-up image and vice-versa... and then there's her English-speaking album.
3* CoveredUp: Her cover of "Scream" for her English debut. No, it's not the song by Michael and Janet Jackson.
4* EpicRiff: "Hurricane Venus," "Dangerous," "Let Me," "Eat You Up," and "Energetic," to name just a few.
5* FanonDiscontinuity: A lot of fans have disowned her English-speaking album, for various reasons. Some say that it was too generic and sounded like everything else on the radio at that point while others can't get over Music/{{BoA|Korea}} singing about sex.
6* HollywoodHomely: In the video for "Who Are You", she goes on a date but ends up meeting the wrong guy due to a mixup and reacts as if she's horrified and runs away. He is just a normal-looking guy in NerdGlasses, so it's clearly meant to be a rather over-the-top reaction.
7* LesYay: The album cover for ''Best & USA''.
8* {{Moe}}: It's why she's popular among males, aside from her music.
9* SignatureSong: "Every Heart," "Girls On Top," "Valenti" and "Meri Kuri" are some of her best known hits.
10* SpiritualSuccessor:
11** She is often called "The Korean [[Music/BritneySpears Britney]]" due to her catchy songs and killer dancing. She also sung a Britney Bside, "Look Who's Talking".
12** Her backup dancers (both American and Asian) have called her "The Korean Music/JanetJackson" because of her dancing as well.
13* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Music/{{BoA|Korea}} came under a lot of fire with the release of her album ''My Name'' due to her attempt to mature her image and sound. Many fans commented that they disliked that her image was becoming DarkerAndEdgier and wanted her to remain "Little Baby [=BoA=]." Needless to say, she was not pleased and quickly told fans and critics alike that she wasn't going to stop growing up just to appease them.
