Recently i been thinking about how SM Entertainment has certain patterns. For example, every three or so are successful group/artist the fourth fails (S.E.S H.O.T & BoA) the fourth was Dana as solo but she wasn't successful and there was BlackWing, not successful. Second round, DBSK CJSH & SuJu
Anyways...another pattern that i have notice in SM Entertainment is the fact that the new artist within a year usually their debut song has an English version. Has anyone noticed that only SNSD hasn't done that? In that way i believe they are single out (other than the fact that LSM wants them to be successful) They are doing things different
Think about this BoA in her early days had: IDPeaceB, EveryHeart, No.1, and Listen To My Heart(Today she is doing her American debut). DBSK: Hug (Today they sing acapella songs both in Japanese and English, mostly in English) CSJH although their songs might not have English versions but they sing the acapella versions of the songs Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love (the first track off their debut single) and George Michael's Faith. SuJu as far as i know they only done KnockOut(Twins) in English. Even SHINee have sung in English (the special performance with SeoInYoung "Umbrella") and they debuted less than 8months
So far it seems,
Maybe LSM just wants SNSD to be different/special and popular even when it is DBSK and BoA that brings the money and have made SM Entertainment what it is today and should be place in a goldenplate for their success still being strong (come imagine of it would be if SME did not have DBSK and BoA) I predict that SNSD is going to those groups that you know that they success and might have ok/nice songs.
