No wonder she likes My December since it seems to be outside of Western mainstream tastes, hence why she likes it. How can YOU offer artists when it's obvious she's probably already tried them and doesn't find them to her taste. As a side-note, I like Western music just fine.

You bring up a true point although, MD was mostly mainstream.

When I brought those other artist into it, I was making a point that Hikki isn't the only one who has tie-ins plus their name to be thanking. Just about anyone of those artist I named have tie-ins plus their name to singles that sold fairly well. I'm not pulling their names in it to start up trouble. I was just making a point.

Good point but most fans do that with any of their favorite artists. I've listed it times and times that I luv HS because of it's flow and mainstream-ness. UB was okay but I wasn't use to that type of music and it's just an album you wouldn't normally play on a daily bases unlike HS and her other albums.

OMG! I'm so with you. This silence from her is killing me. I went back to listening to Exodus and man, I have fell back in luv with Exodus 04. It has this certain mood to it that makes you feel all good inside. lol I really luv the medley to it. I do agree with you on B&A. I really like their remix to YMMWTBA. Their works are pretty decent.
