Ayu has had metal influences in material such as talkin' 2 myself and it was FREAKING AMAZING! That heavy, badass guitar!

But we're on the topic of R&B, not metal. Ayu can do R&B and pull it off. Look at "In The Corner" or that R&B mix of YOU on the remix album.
I said they seem so trashy, not that they all are. But hip-hop isn't my game and never was, unless Ku does it - it tends to grow on me then. Also, I hated in the corner and that remix.

I guess I don't mind Ayu trying new things - but I have always liked her style for what it was. Even when she's trying new things, it's still her own and has that Ayu feeling to it. I hate when artists change so drastically that they alienate their fanbase - the fanbase they built their career on. Especially when it's to gain more exposure through new fans while disregarding the old/current and what they have supported (not saying this toward Ayu, just saying in general I hate when artists do this - specifically Cascada's new album).
