[Namie Amuro] △ the 71st UNCONTROLLED thread! △

^ she already did Fight Together live on her latest tour tho :p


I love the album, it's very summery and lighthearted, and sounds much more cohesive than P<F.
Let's Go and Hot Girls are great songs, especially Let's Go, and I actually like Go Round and Tempest now.

Original version of YEAH-OH >>> album ver. it sounds weird lol

Not sure what my favorite song is... Probably still Fight Together or maybe Let's go

[emi♡]

Did she? Wow I don't remember it lol


And yeah, original version forever. Although it's fun for me to try to sing this one. I think it's still my favorite of the album..

I'm happy with the album. I did not care for P<F.


oh just occurred to me. I think Hot Girls would be better as a koda song. It's kind of out of place on this album to me somehow.

[BlackSilence]

everytime i listen to Namie, it makes me sad that i just can't listen to her songs, because i just simply can't stand that music style..but.... i ADORE her voice so much! And i couldn't resist downloading Uncontrolled....weird thing that on a few songs I skipped through them a few times and whenever i skipped to other part of the song i would hear the same sounds, tempo, arrangment and lyrics....what.....must be just a coincidence...lol however the only song I am hooked on is ONLY YOU, there's something about the flow of melody that catches me. I liked Tempest way before the album and um her other ballads are quite listenable, because there're not much of the goooodddamn computer generated sounds because they just sound so empty to me, without any feeling.

Does she have something with normal instruments done? Not ballads? Anyone could recomend something?

I still don't get why more people don't like Get Myself Back. I've always loved Break It and the album version doesn't change it~

Hot Girls is such a mess.

XD The same thing happened with me and that dog song. First it was ultimate disgust, now its ASfXX 'tolerance' level.

[inspire_rmx]

my favorite non-single tracks from this album has to be let's go and hot girls. gonna pretend the english version of go round and yeah-oh does not exist. I think the english tracks this time round are to please the asian crowd outside Japan but i hope she will do less full english tracks next time round..
i'm still fond of this album cos of the great singles we had that save this album and the great album covers

[UHPlus]

Namie ruined three awesome songs IMO....

[Not Fade Away]

What an amazing surprise after coming home from the gym!

DL now, I'll give my opinion after it's finished. (60%)

EDIT: After hearing Hot Girls in HQ, it just sounds sort of cheap to me. Her vocals sound good, but the beat sounds like one of those free sample beats you would get in a home audio-editing package.

[PoetGirl]

I wasnt checking her singles so I've no idea whats new. Uncontrolled has horrible covers, but album gave me faith in jpop again. Its very refreshing. Yeah-oh and Hot Girls are my favs. Thank you Namie.

[Rocky Raven]

Wow yay! Finally someone like Hot Girls too, even my mom think it's her best song on the album <3

[PoetGirl]

Hot Girls reminds me on what Heidi Montag would do LOL.

[brener]

In The Spotlight remains also as my fave song!!

[Delicious n Bold]

^ It's my new jam!

[Ningyo Hime]

I love hot girls but I preferred the single versions of yeah-oh and go round they were my favourite tracks too.

[jiarongisme]

Break It <AL ver.> was good. YEAH-OH and Go Round in English, meh. Hot Girls, meh. Everything else, AWESOME.

I like Hot Girls too

[CeReSu]

I love this album!

But YEAH OH and Go Round in english....hum no, the originals are much better!
HOT GIRLS is cool, good rythmic but it's a lot repetitive --"
And Break it new version: I love it, awesome!

My fav' track is Let's go by the way!

[Corvina]

Uncontrolled is a solid album.
The first half flows amazing, the second lacks a bit.
Still don't like Love Story, Fight Together and ONLY YOU.
Also not a big fan of the new version of Break It, just ok. I love the original version as it is.
Hot Girls is...pretty bad sadly. Namie's version is slower than the demo, I didn't make that up.
Wished she kept it more upbeat. Also her vocals are weird there, don't like that effect they used.

Other than that I'm pleased. In the Spotlight (TOKYO) suddenly clicked with me. Listened to it and I'm in love now!
English versions of GO ROUND and YEAH-OH are alright, though I prefer the japanese lyrics, cause they fit better.
Still have troubles with her English, but there are some good parts to give me hope.
If she keeps doing songs in English, it will get better and better!

Favourite songs:
In the spotlight (TOKYO), Get Myself Back, Let's Go

That's an insult to Heidi.

[prussian blue]

Am the only one who loves HOT GIRLS? I think this is one of the song where Namie acts so sexy and dangerous and I DO love it
