^ I don't see any Hikki bashing, just people saying it like it is, whether it be complete truth or their opinions--which are NOT wrong (that this article is biased, that Hikaru's lyrics will more often than not be seen as inferior to certain others' with more "deep" or "emotional" lyrics, that Hikaru is only one of the most influential and not THE most influential), and then a bunch of Hikki-stans raging over the criticisms of their Queen. :\

I assume you're talking about the fact that I used the word "influential" slightly outside of the norm. Did you know, that influence and motivation go hand in hand? Whenever you are influenced by somebody, they usually motivate you to do something. They are NOT synonyms, of course, but it's a case of cause and effect, so I was not wrong. But just to humour you, I'll pick the definition that resembles closest, to me, what "influence" is
:
the act or power of producing an effect without apparent force or direct exercise of command
And, since you may not know, here is the definition of "motive:"
something (as a need or desire) that causes a person to act
Now, let's use them in a few sentences, shall we?
Hikaru Utada has never really influenced me in any of my decisions regarded my singing career. I feel other people have been much more influential, at least to me personally, because they (specifically Ayumi and Kumi) have inspired and motivated me to pursue my dreams.
Learn something new everyday, huh, Andre? (Which reminds me, you are suspiciously similar to the other Andre, lol...)
