Namie all the way; she stays true to the style.

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

Plus I must also add Namie is much better at perfroming live, especially hip-hop.

She has really great vocal control and sounds amazing while performing high energy and/or complex dance routines.

[Psychotic_X]

Namie... Kuu was never really completely hip hop/rnb... she was rnb/pop or hiphop/pop... lately it's more pop

[kayokyokufan]

I think earlier in Kumi's music career she was more hip-hop/R&B, but then as she got more popular she started shifting more toward pop.

[Kodayumi]

Namie is better, i mean of course, she's the queen of hip-hop.

[Klonoa]

I think the Urban style comes more natural to Namie, and I think Koda Kumi is just fake. Koda Kumi pimps whatever genre and style is in at the moment. I vote Namie since she's more real with it.

[PSYCHEDELICOdust]

Namie. Duh. Although I'd love for Koda to go back to the more urban influences.

[greggerz189]

In terms of Japanese Hip-Hop, definitely Amuro Namie, because it's a distinctive hip hop sound to Japan. But when it comes to most like western American style hip hop, Koda Kumi all the way. It sounded like American people produced her hip hop tracks. Get Up & Move!! is like the Fergielicious of Japan XD

lol, Koda has the same level of beauty as Fergie too.

Whatever, Namie sounds almost identical to western hip-hop, it just has her own flavour and it's superior to the American product. Almost all of Namies stuff since 1999 is produced by American producers Dallas Austin and Full Force who make songs for TLC, Gwen Stefani, Kelis, Pink, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, etc etc.

[Hana<3]

Namie all the way ^^

[cloud♥honey]

So not true u did not have to to there. Namie and Koda are my favs. Tied for first if u ask me. I love them both the same. And I know Koda is Beautiful for a fact.

[Keishi]

Is it just me who notice that lately some polls to throw away/indirectly bash Koda Kumi?

Like...a poll that is already OBVIOUS that Ku is not going to win, but still being made?



Oh well, I voted for namie.

[thinkingoutloud89]

I can´t belive...you are a min erader! Just tought of that few days ago^^
all in all I say they are very differnet...namie has a nicer voice and does a ncie slow hip hop that is very americanischissusuusu... XD

Koda has this hard urban voice like in Hot Stuff which I think is one of her bets style time....so both are good but there is one thing


namie can do music together with all HIP HOP ARTIST: she and verbal (if he were bigger) or ZEEBRA would be a ncie couple...anyways in muisc she flows so well with them what amkes her an good...nearly the best hip pop artist^^ still she the QUEEN OF HIP POP

I honestly agree with that 100%. Namie isn't even attractive, plus her face isn't beautiful either. It's very average. Koda has pretty eyes, overall cute face, and a very sexy body, she wins hands down.

Musically, I never liked Namie anyway. All her songs fall flat on my ears, and I have the Put Em Up single to prove it. Koda has a lot of quality songs. However, judging on hip-hop songs, I still choose Koda. I'll pick JUICY and Candy over Violet Sauce or Put Em Up anytime.

[BabyUtada]

I voted Namie Amuro because she is one of the J-R&B/pop singers in the world. I can't get enough of "Come", "Want Me, Want Me", and "Can't Sleep, Can't Eat, I'm Sick". As 4 Koda Kumi................let me stop right here!

[Keishi]

I'm sorry, but calling people have a bad taste in music just because he likes Koda Kumi is really offensive, ridiculous, childish & immature.

[huyuhuyu]

namie amuro is the queen of hip pop, kumi will never beat her.
