Mai Kuraki. I have never understood how she was so popular. A majority of her songs bore me to tears. I like a few of her songs, don't get me wrong, but if I don't like at least 5% of your songs, there's a problem. =(

I don't really listen to a lot of mainstream Western music to comment on the others.
I agree with both of these entirely. Your post pretty much explains everything I feel about both of these artists. John Mayer is loved by so many, but I find his songs to be really annoying, as well as his voice to grate on my ears. As for Kuraki Mai, I'm still in complete awe that her first album is one of the best selling in Japanese music history, because it's a bore. The songs just scream "I can do R&B", but they really end up appearing as if she wishes she could do something as great as Hikki's.
