njanjayrp to be American means you were born in the country (USA), no matter your ethnicity. Her being Asian is just that, her ethnicity, she is a natural born citizen of the USA making her American.

Umm, that's exactly what I was saying. Reread my post, it was njanjayrp who was saying that, not me. I was telling him off. Get your facts straight and read carefully before you try to go off on someone.

.....aaaaaaaand the fighting begins! ::ding ding ding::

The album has grown on me quite a bit. I agree with many people here and think Apple & Cinnamon is probably the best track on the album. The way she says "apple and cinnamon" makes me crave apple pie. But all I have right now is apple toaster strudels, so I'll eat one of those.

^ Lol I think apple and cinnamon is the best track too. It just flows so well : ) but why didn't she use that as the single track ? XD wasn't apple and cinnamon like the first english song she wrote? o_o?

^I think it was the first one that showed up on the copyright website or something I think I like "This One" and A&C best. Especially "This One". It's beautiful!

ROFL. I love when divas flop and their fans go batshit trying to think up excuses for it. Especially when they have mentally unstable ones like DDD.

yey trash can post.

I better make it all colorful so the trash can isn't ugly.


@Peger: that's so mean...

/sniff

what really cracks me up atm is while kang is just crazy, he's actually being the most logical with reasons why it isn't selling.

I guess people's reputations always outshine them, even when they make sense.

Thank you, I may be crazy but at least I make sense 99% of the time.

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - FYI full lyrics:
Spoiler:

I give you my heart
Hold on, let me sign it
Your senorita a.k.a. your best friend
Hereby, let it be known
Love like never before
I'm always at your service
You just have to holla at me

NYC NYC what what
Tokyo Tokyo what what
Send it up from the streets to the highest
To the highest high
Mp3 mp3 players
Work it out, work it out hustlers
Om mani padme Hum

*You know I, I'm gonna be yours tonight
We're gonna... Ooh aah
FYI We're gonna be up all night
I'll see you later, call me
You know my number

Like Captain Picard
I'm chillin' and flossin'
It's seven o'clock
I issue a warning
That's right, we're stealing this show
Damn right, letting em know
We're sipping Chardonnay
From 2pm on a working day

Ching-a-ling ching-a-ling what what
Ching-a-ling ching-a-ling what what
Take me down to the fields where the grass is
Where the grass is lime
Mp3 mp3 players
Work it out, work it out hustlers
Om mani padme Hum

* repeat

See I don't need a free loader
No, I don't want a free loader
If you want a piece of this stuff
Got to give, got to give something

* repeat
* repeat


I can post the rest of the lyrics too, if there is demand.

thanks for the lyrics
"Om mani padme Hum" that's probably what i mistook for japanese....but what does that mean btw..?
and who in the world is Captian Picard?

@_@ feel like the lyrics are over the place, first talking about friends, then selling MP3 players to hustlers in tokyo, then dental hygiene, then football fields, then denying bootleg stuff


ah i will never understand english lyrics

OK first of all, I don't think you understand the concept of "American." If a person is born to foreign-born parents, then they're not American? WTF. I'm going to chalk this up to the fact that you're from a homogeneous nation and don't understand this concept.
Well I am getting tired of this anyways. Have it your way I don't care if she is American or Japanese, that doesn't have anything to do with bad sales. I was simply trying to say that unlike BoA, in Japan, Utada Hikaru/Utada is considered one of them. That's all

And maybe you weren't a Hikki fan back then, but I was, and I remember there was so much Japanese promotion for that album. I wasn't shocked at all that it sold over 500k its first week.
Actually I have been a Hikki fan since 2001, she is the very first jpop artist I started listening to. Sure there was more promo and live performances back then and that is one of the reasons this album is doing so bad for now. And it's not true that nobody sells like 5 years ago, as there are people who sell even better than five years ago. I didn't say it's flopping, just that it's flopping compared to her previous American album which is quite obvious. And the sales will end up way better than most of other foreign albums, just that the drop will be huge compared to EXODUS.

And at least we like the same songs the best: This One <3, Apple & Cinnamon and FYI
