I said she wrote Say The Word. Just because someone doesn't like their own lyrics doesn't mean that other people will find them bad as well. Everyone is their greatest critic. :no She also wrote a few others but she never revealed which ones.

Haha, yeah, I think that's possible. Like I said, she doesn't want people analyzing her lyrics.

I do wish that she would write more though since she certainly has the life experience to draw on and some huge tragedies in her life that I think could make for some very moving lyrics - but it seems she would rather keep those feelings private. In a way I admire her for that, even if at the same time I want her to write about them. :)

Exactly. While I love artists who aren't afraid to pour it all out in their songs like Ayu, you've gotta respect someone who avoids that as well.

While I prize great songs and writing more than I do great dancing. I definitely have to give Namie her props here - she is by far the best artist I have seen when it comes to singing and dancing at the same time.

I agree that great songs and writing are more what music is about, but Namie is def. one of those exceptions to the rule since she can pull them all off (when she wants) :P . And even if she's not like Ayu and Hikki, she's still in a league all her own, and you've gotta respect that.

For Namie you have to go beyond What A Feeling and New Look (actually there has only been one new look performance where not even half the song is performed...), though those aren't bad at all. Namie has been singing and dancing impressively at the same time since 1993.

Def., she was born to be a star. :( She really killed them Dancing Junk performances. <3 But oh, excuse me for cluttering up the thread with this discussion (though it's not as if I was the one who started it, I just had to jump in! :dead2 ). |
