^Thanks for that information. I'm one of the few I guess who's still holding out for all this stuff they're doing in America. I've still got a few dollars set aside to buy their album in stores here when it's released. Oh and Rodney Jerkins I've heard of, but Claude Kelly, I haven't.
To be honest, all these people like BoA, Utada, WG etc debuting and selling music here, even if most didn't top the charts just feels so weird, as when I was in senior elementary and then high school way back it wasn't even heard of and I was teased for liking any of it at all. It's amazing how much things have changed in the 13 years I've been into Asian music. It just all makes me feel so happy.
