like yu, tomiko8, im not bashing, but heres what i think of the artists' images
Hikki- *sigh* she needs more stuff, and less dull. shes too sad in her videos and she needs more upbeat stuff. c'mon Hikki show us that pretty smile.
Kumi- omg....sorry for her fans, but i really think shes being too hot. Shake It was scary *the girl on girl part* and the "you can do it put yur back into it" part was total too much....please Kumi show people the wondeful person yu are and not Avex's hotty. ATTACK THEM *lol*
Namie- i used to really love her until Want Me Want Me. now that was totally way too much. her new stuff is really good, even though Violet Sauce sounded a little sexyish to me, and the "anotha flavor" thing sounded stupid. shes not a street pimp....
Mika Nakashima- now im starting to like her, but something i noticed in her songs, was that they were all jazzy or sad/slow/ish. she needs a little more exctiement in her songs. maybe a little pop or techno or maybe rock here and there. its like making a pizza. her songs were a cheese pizza, but the pop songs are sausage, the techno is pepporoni, and the rock is beef. adding those would make one good pizza. mmmm i want pizza now. *gomen for all the pepople i made hungry just now*
