To me a cover is a "fail" when it sounds exactly like the original, and Kumi always bring a new breathe to those songs... For god's sake, the album is called Color The Cover, it's about making songs have a more appealing and colorful style. And yeah, I checked out all the original songs, and they're great, and so do are Kumi's covers. You are making a big deal of this calling them cheap and trashy, for sure.
And I'm not that kinda of fan that licks her floor when she walks in, she do bad things too (hello Dejavu, I'm still looking at you), but that's not the case of Color The Cover.

To say the purpose of the album is to make the songs "more appealing and colorful style" is disrespectful to the original artists. Normally artists make cover songs as a tribute to the original artist and not to make them "better". And in general I'm ok with "Pink Spider" not being a rock song anymore, what I'm criticising is not that the songs got a new arrangement. Like I said in my first post I like it when cover songs aren't exact remakes of the original songs and instead bring in the personal style of the artist who does the cover. But the arrangements on "Color The Cover" are just far away from being great. Like I said, they are plain cheap and trashy.
