I still can't believe people actually think that there is such a thing as "original" art, music, fashion, whatever. Without something to come from, to copy from, art, music, and fashion wouldn't exist now. I still can't believe people think that Madonna herself does not "copy". She has lost copyright lawsuits!

And whatever in the heavens' name is natural beauty anyway? Give me someone who doesn't use toothpaste, cut hair, trim fingernails and toenails, wear clothes, use earbuds, and only cleans himself or herself with water but still manages to look beautiful and I'll call that person a "natural beauty".

If the Egyptians were already using a lot of makeup millenia ago, then why not Ayu?

Never mind the makeup, the photoshop (again, why is it demonized? Old Hollywood photographers relied on tricks too to make old movie stars look inhumanly beautiful). For me, if a person isn't born beautiful to begin with, then any amount of photoshop, cosmetic surgery, and makeup cannot make that person beautiful.

Ayu looks gorgeous. Sifow has bad music. Koda Kumi is not pretty. Hikki is overrated. The new Namie single is terrible. Not enough people know Nanase Aikawa. Ringo Shiina is a genius. Copying is a normal human activity. I feel it and I know it. That's all I need and need to know.

Anyone who wants me to quantify all the above claims with a long and thoughtful discussion can email me at my second email cole_g_xtreme at yahoo.com. I rarely read responses and threads here.



Finally, someone who is actually RATIONAL.

Reality itself is already a copy.

very well said~cheers to you!
it saddens me how some of you here are so immature
copies or not big deals...does it affect how you view ayu now because she copies [insert names here]; art always reforms in different way and WILL look similar in styles. Just because there are similarities and that's instantly a "COPY"
just wow...that's some protective fans there..by all means I'm not protecting ayu just because I'm her fan but because in art there IS such a thing call copy and it evolves
