Anyways regardless of that, lyrically Ayu beats Namie anytime, the same way Namie beats Ayu at dancing and no matter how you look at it Namie's music is way more mainstream than Ayu's so PoetGirl isn't totally off.

I have to disagree here...
Namie sings a lot about sex, but even if that's very common in western pop, it's also something very different for a female pop singer to do in Japan...
Even some of her most upbeat tracks have some very interesting statments... in the end of the day, it's on Wild that she says that "japanese people don't think hard", what isn't by any means something safe to say on a pop song, but totally makes sense for her considering some stuff she went through...
Not genius lyrics (still, if we are going in that direction, Hikki would be my weapon of choice
), but far from being your everyday generic jpop
