Side bar but this is one of my favorite Rebecca songs!

Yeah this really isn't that bad all things considered! Her voice still has that undeniable Nokko-ness. Honestly I don't think that Love Destiny performance is that bad either If you aren't familiar with Nokko's unique almost deranged singing style I could see how its a shock but its a perfectly fine performance to me.
