Well sorry but, music died on June 25, 2009, imo.

Your comments about Lady Gaga were unnecessary and really unfounded, especially after you brought up "why are people mentioning so and so" and then you bring up Lady Gaga for no reason. Classy.

She's not even stagnant though... not like people here are making her out to be. I thought NEXT LEVEL was a step in a different direction. But people generally didn't like it, so it wasn't acknowledged as a step in any direction, lol.
Stagnancy can be good, anyway. Honestly, as long as she's singing correctly, ***** can be as stagnant as she wants.
I know there's Gaga fans here and I know most of them would love to see Ayu try and be weird like that. Just a hunch. Mainly I brought her up cuz she is NOT an example of where Ayu should be headed. Pretentious bizarre electronic hipster pop diva = NO. Sadly, Gaga may have a profound influence on our industry in the coming decade. We're gonna see a lot of copycat acts and stars trying to compete and catch up with that - both Western and Asian, I'm sure.

It's weird because I remember coming here in 2004, and I used to talk to this one member a lot. He complained all the time about how terrible Ayu's voice had gotten live AND in recordings. I was only 14 at the time and really impressionable, so I believed him when he said A MUSEUM was horrible vocally.
I look back now and I would KILL for her to sound like she did back in A MUSEUM (where she sounds great), even if it wasn't quite as good as say, CDL 00-01 or DOME (I prefer these vocally because I think her voice here is the iconic, quintessential voice that people will remember her for and is found in many of her best recordings).
