i like kuu alot.. but it is true lol Take back and Trust your love... i cant listen to them... they sound horrible in english... its no wonder y her US career never took off when she released those 2 singles here

speaking of old kuu... does anyone have or can make her old logo??? the one thats on the Affection cover and the love across the ocean cover???

I can't stand the Sweetbox version, even though the English sounds better.

Ok....her english isnt anything splendid lets be honest....but that article title was just downright rude.

Yeah, the article is rude..whatever.

Kuu became huge and Jade from Sweetbox..did not.

Still, Kuu's english definitely improved.

But I can't take her english version of real Emotion seriously cause of that one vid on YouTube.."It's Phil!"

^"That I am not a gnome" ;)

lol that video was funny

lol, so true. even perfect english can't save your career :tired

whoa, I didn't even know Sweetbox did the English version.

yeah they included real emotions and 1000 words on the Japanese pressing of their Adagio album

I don't think the article was rude, just frank. And deny it all you want, 'cause you know that every word of that is not without truth. XD

if Jade from Sweetbox take the music from Kuu~
Ayumi take Sweetbox music xD

and both of ayumi and kuu, still in avex :lol:

No one is denying it. At all.

And the article is being rude though. You would never see a professional journalist write that way about an artist unless they worked for a tabloid...or a gaming magazine it seems.

There are ways to be straightforward without coming off as an ass.

btw I'm surprised Sweetbox isn't more known...what do they do? They release here in the US? and Japan? or what.

Playstation Magazine is practically bought out by American developers anyway, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. They have a history IMO, for being really harsh on foreign developers. If I'm not mistaken, their first impressions of X-2 wasn't very professional. But I don't really remember the article.

I can say that their report on Koda was VERY rude but also kind of true. I mean, her english did suck balls in that song. But Koda did a pretty decent job with the dancing of Yuna. I just would have expected the singing and dancing from Rikku and not Yuna---she was such a good girl in X.

^Really? That's interesting.

I agree that she did suck. I think everyone knows that. We've been joking about it the whole thread.

Oh well, I don't read the magazine anyway. Sad to see that they have to put down other developers. I guess because Japan's on top.

lol, that's a funny kind of article, it's more of an ad for Jade than anything :P I'm glad Kuu's English is better now, but it's still kind of bad in That Ain't Cool - she's really quiet and I can't quite understand parts of it when just listening :(

Oh yes, that video that someone made of her singing the English version! :laugh Unfortunately, her English version is... questionable! :laugh
