IMO, namie will normally go for styles that will be popular. Yea, she can dance and sing, but seriously her songs, after a few plays i just got bored. There isn't much new or unique elements in her songs. I think she will focus more on adding her own flavour into the dancing instead of the song itself, which is a
for me.
unlike, Ayu's. The new styles that she has tried, though highly experimental n risky, I still find them very successful. They don't sound like those usual or similar styles other singers may adopt, Ayu's songs really have the Ayu style in them, which is what I look for in music. I really look forward to what type of styles Ayu will try in future.
(praying hard) For me, the most dissappointing style she had tried was the Bold and Delicious and Born to be.. yucks i really hate that 2 songs!
But definitly not those in Next Level, they are really great! However, more of Ladies' Night and Step You will be good too!
So, that is why I have more faith in Ayu's new styles rather than Namie's.
