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.
No, I totally love Kumi's cute high-pitched voice! She can pull off both voices depending on the songs. I actually perfer the higher pitch like in BE MY BABY when she screams - so hot! But I love Kumi's cutesy Lady Go!!, Good Day, Lick Me, SUPERSTAR voices!
