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.

that's what I think too. the voice that she sings those songs in does not sound like her, same with Inside fishbowl. I think it's nice when an artist doesn't sing the exact same way every time.. but when they sing in a way that makes them sound worse than they normally would or like a different person, I can't really appreciate that. I agree about her putting her own touch to everything on Eternity too. I listened to the originals and honestly I didn't like any of them. I think kumi upgraded them all, especially misono's song.
