I think she's really great and needs more respect.

She is icon, she is the best. I LOVE her.

I LOVE Namie Amuro!! I think she's a music icon, and I totally respect her!!

I like her but respect is too "big" of a word to use... so i didnt vote... i jsut admire her and enjoy her music

I do respect her. Even though she's not as big as she used to be, she continues to make music instead of quitting.

Hahaha... I love her because her music is always so fun to listen! I voted 'Yes' because i really do respect her for the way she's. She's really cool~! Love it~!

Yes, the 1st option. I really like her music (new and old), she has managed to change her style but still produce quality music

sure, i respect her, she's come a long way. I kinda find it kinky when she sings want me want me though hehe

I love her, she's so cute! She deserves respect too since how long her career has lasted. I'm pretty sure you can tell she works hard at what she does. ^^

I voted "No"- being in music for long doesn't suddenly transform your music into being good. But that's just my opinion, she's just not my taste.

I respect her, though I don't reaally like her music. Hip-hop songs just aren't the ones I like. But I still respect her, she's got a good career and stuff ^^

She is my icon! I started hearing J-Music mainly with want me Want me which I saw on German TV^^Oh my goshh...what if I missed it...I never would be here now^^

*bump* I brought this topic back up because I noticed more people joined the forums. I want more opinions.

I don't listen to her much, but I absolutely respect her. I've read some of the tough times she's gone through, and to not respect her for persevering through it all would just be silly. I'm quite happy for her success. :)

*giggle*

I'm a bit tickled to see the way I used to type. :laugh

Yes she is a Icon!

She is the greatest Japanese singer of all time after the GOD Ayumi Hamasaki!

She's sexy too and got attitude.

Also no other J-singer can possibly match her dancing skill and she has amzing vocal control. Not many people can still sound amazing while dancing like she does.

...........................???????? explain?

I certainly respect her as an artist. I've loved her since the first song I heard from her (which was something off QoHP). I don't quite respect her as much as Ayu, since Ayu writes ALL her lyrics and composes some of her best songs, but I love her nonetheless.

I don't like her but I'm not going to bash her, so I respect her I guess. Her music has never appealed to me. And she's not attractive either.
