Holly... she sounds amazing. Queen 4Ever.


lmao stay with me is one of her best winter ballads IMO.
Stay with me sucks! And I absolutely LIVE for BIG winter ballads!! So that one was a HUGE disappointment for me. The chorus is just so awkward, it just doesn't feel as powerful as she's trying to make it sound. Ayu's "You were..." also fails to deliver on this level.

You know what I really love though? ai no uta (urban kiss version) during the Holidays! I always felt ai no uta was so dull and dry, but this version gives it that extra bit it needed, while making it seem more "winter-ish"

Edit: Just watched some of the stay with me video to recall bits and wow, I forgot she had that hideous hairstyle during that period where her bangs were parted in the middle and abruptly cut straight off at her cheeks/chin. My God, worst hair of her entire career!
