Yeah, I realize that Shannese. I wasn't making a reference to Koda Kumi in seriousness or as a way of rationalizing how sexing up Amerie's image would cause a considerable increase in popularity since it worked for Koda Kumi in another country.
And not everyone in America is sexed up. There are plenty of famous artists today who don't use overt sexuality as a part of their marketing campaigns. Being sexy and using gratuitous sexuality are two very different things. Kuu's sexuality is intensely gratuitous. Many Americans artists may have a sexy image, but in most cases it isn't to the point where it's considered offensive. You may see Miley Cyrus wearing a short skirt and small top, but you'll never see her suck on her middle finger sexually then flip off the audience.
