I agree 100%. Compared to other JPOP singers, Ayu's English is nearly perfect and the English she used for her songs MAKE SENSE. Unlike the others who just want the words to SOUND GOOD. *Cough* Namie Amuro *Cough*. I bought her QUEEN OF HIP HOP album and even though some of the songs were good, I couldn't stand her ENGLISH throughout the whole album. She even recorded a whole song singing English with bad grammar. I don't mind if an artist has an accent but when there's so many bad grammars, I get irritated.

I think Utada Hikaru's English are good too. They fit with the song. (But then again, she was born in the US with fluent English)
