Too many, compared to someone who doesn't even know the language and has never sung a day before in her life.
It was rather reckless of the label (and Dizon as well; she's not a child, and I'd like to think she has SOME control over her career) to just shove her out there with such little experience and letting everything ride on her looks alone. So far it's been moderately successful, but I think she's starting to realize that lack of actual merit is starting to blow up in her face. I do feel sort of sorry for her, but honestly, if she has any instinct at all she'd realize it's time to step up her game a little.
She does have potential; she's not a bad dancer and seems hardworking. I do think it's wrong that someone such as her can get by on such superficial merits when more talented artists can't sell half of what she does. However, I suppose that's more her management's fault than it is hers.

Her vocal abilities are appalling. Her kouhaku performance was such an embarrassment, but it also shows Kouhaku's falling standards. It's more of a joke than ever, as viewer numbers keep falling. That girl needs to take a break before her new single and work on her voice BIG TIME.
But I do think her management is at fault; I am afraid they shoved her out to make a quick buck, and aren't thinking about her in the long term. She might disappear after 2 more failed singles and another failed album if her company doesn't spend any time and effort on her; she is exotic and cute and that makes a quick buck but doesn't last long. =[ What do you think? Do you think they will actually try to improve her or just dump her? I hope she can continue along, but you never know, especially with her voice and language skills needing some fine-tuning. =[
