Songs like Lick me and SUPERSTAR just seem to be sung in a way that's so not Kumi. She has a deeper, more powerful voice and songs like that should just not be sung by her. She has plenty of songs that are just as "cutie" but the way she sang them was just so much more fitting. SWEET MEMORIES, for example, is a totally cutie song, but like you said, it has a mature sound to it and she's not trying to sound like someone else. Even though these songs are all covers, she managed to put a Kumi touch on everything, and you can tell she made it her own. I hope this lesson was a learning experience for her, and it should be a project that she's proud of. Even in the live TV report, she sounded great! That's because the songs go well with her voice.
