Love songs was a great album! everything else after was lacklustre.
FIVE - meh... except progress the rest are not my cup of tea. not even BRILLIANTE. Cos BRILLIANTE is like caviar, you have some and you think it's so good but have more of it and you get sick of the taste. AN and beloved are some of her discography abominations with the boring melodies, bland arrangements, uninspiring vocals.
Party Queen - over-dramatic, trying too hard, bleh.
LOVE again - Ayu acknowledges she's in her mid 30s and tries to come up with a Celine Dion album but the problem is Celine obviously would wow everyone even with 12 ballads in an album cos her vocals are stellar but Ayu... hahaha.
EDIT: I'd also like to add that I concur with NINTENDO boy that post Love songs Ayu is just grating on many levels...
Love songs:
- Virgin Road and the 'shocking' marriage
- Mannie's face plastered on THREE PVs in the album
FIVE:
- duet/collaboration drama with that what's-that-guy's-name in AN and DREAM On? and JUNO
- a-nation drama because of said artistes
- divorce
Party Queen:
- trying-too-hard cover
- trying-too-hard songs
- Return Road
- Return's Road PV. Now Mannie takes 4 PVs
- fake... almost self indulgent HOTEL LOVE SONGS tour (still a
to the "I am the lonely queen" segment)
- outrageous "Imma let it out cos I just got a divorce" period with Timmy
LOVE again:
- Maro
- slew of boring ballads
- rehash of the Love songs period but worse and more dramatic
- uninspiring album, era, lyrics, everything
here's hoping for a better 16th year Ayu.
