Also it would help if he started to write with some respect about the artists in general and worded his critiques better.
Like that nobody really cares in the end and that`s also the reason he got banned here. He doesn`t want to come off as a hater? So he should end sounding like one.  |
You do realize that he also wrote sentences like
- When she’s at her best she releases some instant classic pop hits, TABOO, POP DIVA, ECSTASY, show girl and Butterfly are my jams.
- And both her videos and her performances can be pretty good at times
- I always thought Kumi had a fantastic timbre to her voice
?
He never said Kuu in general is a bad artist/performer, just that a lot of her stuff isn't great at all and sometimes trashy as hell. That's how I see it, too - btw.
The responses in this thread just show what I said: Kuu's stuff isn't questioned at all by a lot of people (in this forum).
And like I said before, I like Kuu and there are songs from her I consider my all time favourites, but she also makes a lot of trash. I don't say that because I want to hate on her, but because I find it VERY frustrating for the simple reason that I know she can do so much better! And that's isthisLOL's problem as well, or to put in his words: "I have had a love/hate relationship with Koda Kumi for years. I get excited every time she releases a new album and grab it the moment I can find it, but then quickly get discouraged when actually listening to the thing".
