Namie's been in repair mode for years and her image just hasn't changed for the worse in any way. Her music has become more western but it does not mean it has evolved. She's no bjork. She's just doing what has been done a billion times but better overall. Alive was a damn good song. So was stardurst in my eyes. Carbon copies of some songs but still damn good. In the end it is her image. You'll never see Dr. Namie bitching about amniotic fluids or do provocative photo shoots.

Good point
