I would like to see who's leading... I wouldn't be surprised if it is an Asian artist.

And I think Ellen is doing this because she's interested in international music and why we, the fans, love it so much. I don't think she's looking for someone who's trying to break into the American market - not immediately, anyway. She's looking for someone to put onto her American program so us American fans (and anyone else who can watch it) will be happy about seeing one of our favorite, if not our favorite, international artist on our TV.

If Ayu does get chosen, maybe she can fly over during the beginning of a-nation? Like I mentioned in another thread, her tour is ending pretty close around the time a-nation starts, so maybe Ayu can fly to America, perform on Ellen, and then fly back and do her a-nation duties. lol. Or, hey, her schedule at the end of the year is pretty up in the air... Who knows what can happen after July.
