I'd probably just be indifferent to her. Not hating, but not liking her.

I really don't know what I would think...oh...but when I first saw her without knowing anything about her,I almost hated her,lol.Because she looked so...(it were the pictures in 2000,with that short hair and she looked soo unnatural to me).
But that's mostly because I don't like people who everyone loves
(even if I LOVE Ayu now)

And btw. I really HATE when people say "Ayu is Madonna of Japan" because she ISN'T.She is Ayumi Hamasaki of Japan and why she would be called "Madonna"????
Ayu is ayu,not Madonna.Yeah,I know what you all mean to say by that,but Ayu doesn't need to be called a "Madonna" because she isn't.Why can't you just accept that there are some "newer" artsits who can also be awesome and they are THEMSELVES.

thats probably from the confessions tour.

When Madonna does that stuff, she does it with thought and real true meaning. No harm is meant to come out of it. I didnt really pay attention at that part of the concert, but i think she was probably trying to represent the pain and suffering the children suffer, like Jesus or something, im not sure/ dont really about the true meaning of it/ or Jesus XD

anyway Ayumi~

I'd probably go~ "ppffft plastic much" , that was my thought when i first herd/saw her on google images!! lmao. But i knew her music, before i saw her face so yeah~ :|

yah, i heard her music before i ever knew how she looked like lol.

I guess my first impression will be 'wow she's hot, must be asia's equivalent to paris hilton or something' XD!. But deceptive appearances, ayu is <33333333333!!

when I first saw her, I thought she was very pretty..but I kinda already knew she was a singer since she WAS singing in the Boys and Girls PV...
Back then she still had the red hair and looked a bit more Japanese opposed to the long blonde hair like on the secret cover.
If I saw her somewhere where it wasn't a pv say a Hi-Chew poster XD or something. I'd just think she was a pretty model or actress, cause usually they'd be the ones advertising.

interesting question. i can only answer this question wrt to the years before i became an ayu fan ( < 2000). i felt that she was acting cute. i cant stand her voice and was just a regular singer from Japan getting popular after SPEED disband.

probably now if i am not an ayu fan, i would think that she sucks. practically everybody around me thinks that she is lame and cannot make it anymore. She is half deaf and cannot sing on stage. She would probably be testing her mic everytime on stage cos she cant hear anything. or probably trying to increase the volume of her mic such that the whole arena turns deaf.

lol that's what my frens say about her..

@Koba: IMO she was trying to look like Jesus and I'm Christian so y'know that's against my religion and stuff. =p She probably did it with meaning behind it, though, and not just a "lol I'm gonna get in the news again". XD I actually kind of liked the song. It had nice sound effects.~ Why do you think she did the "Like a virgin" perf, though? I can't remember how I came to the conclusion but I think that it's mockery of the holy virgin Maria? Kind of the opposite of Ayu's M.

And to make some random Ayu related comment so this post isn't too loloff-topic:

If I saw her LOVEppears cover as the first Ayu pic I might think that.. Um.. o-O

@alternarist: Yea, why do people say she can't sing? I accepted the fact after reading for 500+ times that she sucks live, but REALLY, come on. I have only heard her sing relatively bad once, during CDL07-08. All her other perfs are splendid, without voice alteration. CDL06-07 live sounded perfect.

^ tat's how non-ayu fans react. there is nothing i can do. but just respond "yeah yeah yeah". I wun argue with them nor change their perception. i am not desperate for them to like ayu so let them be.

But anyways like stated before depends on which era/style Ayu would have on that pic/whatever.... But mostly she looks like really classy and diva-ish and I'd think she's an R'n'B star or something.

Same here!

When the first time I heard her songs and seen her in T.V. or covers of a Japanese magazines, Ayu-chan reminds me of it... in much better image with no overflowing scandals attached to her.

I think I would consider her way more like Madonna than Britney. Not to mention, did she not say that one of her major influences is Madonna?

I don't like heavy metal. Gothic rock, I like, though.

It probably depends on what picture I saw. Really.

Interesting topic...especially with the Facebook h8erz topic floating around and all.

The first pic I saw of her was the UNITE cover...so my initial impression was, "Wow, she looks like a beeyotch". But then I popped the CD in and suddenly I was all, "Oh wait, never mind".

She has so many faces! I remember seeing her before I could link her to her music, and her face stood out and I remember looking up her name nonetheless finding out I loved some of her songs already. She's very beautiful and has an almost exotic look compared to most other japanese artists.

I would probably think she was a trite pop singer with no artistic or musical credibility. I am SO glad I know the real her!
