I would never measure Ayu's lyrics agains Britney's! Lyrical, I don't like "Sparkle", indeed, but it is definitively better than "Womanizer". Ayu is a much, much better writer that Briteny. I'm not sure if Briteny even writes her own lyrics?

I would disagree. Both music and lyrics are subjective. Wether or not you like a certain song really depends on what you personally think is important, which would indeed make lyrics subjective. For some people, "Womanizer" can actually be seen as a very serious/important song. I would never have listened to Ayu's music if I could not relate to it, or if I did not think that what she sings about is important. That's why I don't like "Sparkle", because the lyrics don't mean anything to me. :-)
