last 3 songs are interesting. Namie sampled other English songs and then these song turn to be English again!

From English to Japanese, and Japanese to English. Fun.

Hearing a guy singing WANT ME, WANT ME just brought the song to a new level.

HOLD ON! A guy sings WANT ME, WANT ME and it turns to be so not right lol....

He did a okay job, IMO. (Thanks god he changes the lyrics in WHAT A FEELING. Otherwise if he sings "Everyone calls me dancing queen..", I will have no comment....)

Not being rude, but I completely and politely disagree, Kuu is terrible, and the fact that she's done a few songs fully in english terrifies me, listen to Venus it's absolutely terrible I can only understand the chorus cause I've heard it before. I feel that at least Namie can somewhat pronounce words and songs like Girlfriend display that her english isn't absolutely terrible as long as she works at it.

Side note:

I'm excited as well about the instrumental for Dr. and I'm hoping there will be some kind of bonus like a remix or 2 for this single, I'm really excited about this release.

Could everyone stop discussing the issue of accent, please?
Thank you.

Don't tell people what they can or cannot talk about.

Thank you.

You don't want to be like emiko now, do you?

Anyway, someone who says that Namie has the worst English compared to other Japanese singers definitely doesn't have a clue as to what they are saying.

Her last date is in what? May I think. I'm not sure, but if they put in new songs in the concert and those are filmed then I'm guessing at least a 2-3 month return on the DVD. So yeah summer would be a good estimate. Namie's concerts are always really good.

Again, matter of PERSONAL opinion. If you're not living in the other person's shoe, then you don't get to decide who has or has not a clue of what they're saying.

IMO, sometimes I find Namie's accent too heavy, but other times it's okay. It really depends on the words or phrases she says in each song.

I'm pretty excited for it! Namie always impresses me with her lives. Some people find her lives boring because all she does is sing and dance. And then I point out, "But she's doing both at the SAME TIME," and then they pay better attention

I love seeing Namie live, but I can't say she's my favorite artist to see tours from. But still there are a lot of good songs in this tour and if she adds in Dr and WILD, I'll be so happy.

Uh, what? No. There is a level of objectivity to things like this. Like I said, it's a known fact that pronouncing 'th' is hard for Japanese people to do, but Namie has done it before. She's definitely among the better ones at pronouncing things in English.

Yes, she can relapse into Engrish.

Can't deny that.

Namie should make more english songs I loved Girlfriend (though there was Japanese in that song too, but that was only like 5% or something)

He has a great voice, but I think these songs are better in japanese, english is far too crowded with consonants compared to japanese it doesen't flow smoothly at all. ALso, the translations are a little too much at times, I gues I'm ok with hearing about namie's "Trojan", but not getting everything in my face like that.
