I don't think she sounds anything like Mariah (in terms of voice) but some of the melodies, I can see that. Anything to get people to notice her (so comparisons are okay with me xD)

most people that buy singles in america, only buy it because they only like that one song. I don't even think physical single releases exist for many songs released these days. Just digital.

^A bit more? haha BoA is not only a better singer, but she can dance and sing at the same time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ak1cpi74RM -Haha not sure if that is real but I still think BoA's voice is leagues ahead.

Does anyone know how Utada did on the Pop 100? Or was it the Pop 100 Airplay? I didn't know there was a difference between the two at first. They have way too many charts. It's music segregation or something lol. Anyway I wanna see if she went up or fell off that chart.

Yep, just a bit lol

Well I think that's how it's going to come off to Americans anyway...who are used to "good singers" being like...Leona Lewis, and Kelly Clarkson or whatever.

They aren't really used to the style that Asian singers sing in.

I was kind of assuming that FYI would be the next single, she also sung it at the CBS live but anyway.

I remember watching this MTV thing where they said Utada was like "Sarah Machlanahan and Madonna dipped in sake" :/

I honestly think that there is no true version of Hikki in the US.

Utada is still at the #4 position on iTunes Japan with her Album. Very Good Stuff.
And she occupies the 3, 6, and 9 positions on iTune Japan Music Video List.

OMG, while I was in F.Y.E. today,
I saw an ad for "This is the One"
It was a big poster over the CD's with a box for reservations. And it looked pretty full, too!!

I need to go to my FYE!! It'd be so cool to see more of her in public. I want her to be on MTV or something. BTW, does anyone know what she has scheduled to do next?

Utada being compared to Mariah. In my own prespective, those people who compare her to Mariah are those who have known her just by now or recently. I mean, most of us known Utada for 10 years... we are sooooooo used to her voice... That's what i mean. XD

In some songs Utada does sounds like Mariah to me even if I have listened to Hikki for 4 years or so now. Especially song On and On brought Mariah to my mind at once when Hikki started singing the song. I was wondering "Why's a Mariah Carey song on this album?" and I haven't gotten used to that voice yet but I still adore the album. And yes, I'm a Mariah fan too. :p I'm not very annoyed of the comprasion of both of these artists since they are both my favourities and I love their voices.

And about singles. Here in Finland artists releases 1-2 singles off one album before it's released. They also release re-cut singles that has no remixes in, which is sad. I, for example, prefer japanese way of releasing things.
