Welll I know Hawaii was ages ago but she did say she wanted to work with Kanye back then....I'm not a fan of the jerk but im sure they'd make good music and teh tune with Neyo was pretty good and he's a douche too lol

Erm but yea I was hoping (even tho I prefer her Japanese stuff) that she'd keep the momentum and maybe do another western album....

She just needs less of the mainstream sex styled stuff and to try her stuff like Santuary (that just came up on the playlist)...I mean her western music can be awesome too but I do feel that Easy Breezy was like racial slurring herself and that the 6and 9 song was a little overboard with 'trying'...lol

Not being unfair I dont think, I get what she wanted to do but people are idiots and she cant break into the main stream long term with shallow music....you need raw talent to do reach longevity and she clearly has it, its just releasing it.

- As a sidenot I've never heard any of her songs here in the UK lol....and MIA who I also like had a couple of her worst songs go a lil' mainstream over here...

I dunno, she's right about the racial difficulty based on her look tho...and name....it'll be easier for that wonder women group or whatever they're called cos they're named something easy to grasp....

Also I heard Ayumi was gonna try break the states and I'll go ahead and call it that her record label'll put the breaks on that on the basis of this success...

Take care all

- Damn shame, hopefully she wont retire anytime soon and If she does and if I ever get any fame I'll try to break her oput of it with themesong work lol
