I've never mentioned how much of a 'commercial pop object' Ayumi is.
I have mentioned how much I dislike the days PV but that's it.
I haven't mentioned her at all in this thread so I'm not quite sure where you're coming from.
In fact if you actually looked through my previous posts you'd ntoice that I'm actually quite complimentary to Ayumi, she is still my 2nd favourite artist and Guilty is up there on my top 10 albums of this year, so, no, I don't think that SHE is a commercial pop object..... I think that a few of her PVs are commerical and generic but not her.

And I mention Emilie a lot..... mainly because I like her a lot and it's a shame that no one's heard of her considering just how amazing she is.
And have you noticed that I only mention her when it's relevant... such as in this thread when Lumix mentioned my signature which is of Emilie Autumn...... hence the need to mention her.

Contrary to popular belief it IS possible to listen to and like to very very opposite artists.

Ummm...wow, you completely missed the point of my post. I was saying that Ayumi is a commercial pop object, not that you said she was. And whether or not you actually mentioned her in this thread, you clearly like Ayumi if you're on a board dedicated to her. My point is that she is an enormous pop culture symbol, and perhaps symbolic for Japanese commercialism in general, which is perhaps the most "conformist" thing to be into, but you still like her while claiming that you despise the norm so much. And I never said that your mentioning of Emilie w/e was irrelevant, just that you do it a lot. I think you just like to bring her into every subject as if people know or even care who she is.

Well then I'll mention my final point....

That it is, contrary to popular belief, possible to like two artists on opposite ends of the music spectrum.

I will also say that I said something in the wrong way earlier about hating what's normal.
It's not that I hate what's normal, I hate how our society can immediately decide what is and what isn't normal and how the things that are not 'normal' are then shunned by the rest of society.

In all honesty I think more people SHOULD know about Emilie because it is very rare to find an artist as talented as she is. The fact is she deserves being talked about a lot, because otherwise no one is going to know about her.
