Let's talk about...

[ren0210989]

Here's the thing. I was on youtube searching for some Ayu videos and i came across this video that made me really sad. Click here to see it

so what i want to do is have a mature and openminded discussion about it here. And i apologize in advanced fot the HUGE txt that's up next XD

After watching the video (even tough i couldn't understand a lot of what she was saying due to the REALLY bad quality), i was a bit angry because the girl was bashing Ayu so much. It was really disrespectful to Ayu as an artist, but even more as a human being and a person. After that i started to read the comments on the first page and somehow found myself reading each and every one of those +/-255 comments. after reading all of them i didn't want to make my comment to her video because i REALLY don't see the point.

I can understand that some people don't like Ayu at all, and they are free to think that, but i hate when they start to talk about things they know NOTHING about. I also didn't like those coments that people were making to the video. there was A LOT of racistic insults thowards the girl that made me really sad and disappointed in Ayu's fans.

I have to say that Ayu is my No.1 artist in the WHOLE world, but i also love a lot of Koda Kumi's, Yuna Ito's and Utada Hikaru's music (and hate when people bash them too) and respect them as artisits.

The base of the video was that the girl hated Ayu bacause Kumi is 2nd to her and so is Utada. I really can't understand such people. Just because Ayu sells more doesn't mean she is better that anyone else in any way that should be taken in a offendive way.

A lot of people stated that Ayu sucks at singing and bashed her voice a lot.
I think that Ayu has a very good and beautiful voice, but there really are a lot of other singers that can sing better than she can. The "haters" said that she has a squeechi voice and sounds terrable. I have to say that on her first 2 albums she had a very nasal and high voice, but that is what was "in" at the time, and was probbably the most used singing style of hers. But when we look at all of her albums/singles/lives we really can see that the high and nasal voice isn't the only style she can sing in.

Ayu has a very strong voice that we can see in her lives, she uses all of her emotions and strenght when she sings and is always honest in her lyrics. Those are the things that i LOVE the most about her, and that's how she gives strenght to me and probbably most of her fans.

We all know that Ayu sings very nasal some times, but it's the same as how Kumi sings from her throat, so it really isn't fair to judge Ayu in that way.
I like a lot of Kumi's songs, and she does have a very good voice, but i don't like how her concerst go (at least the ones i saw). I don't like how she doesn't really sing most of the songs, but in the other hand like that she dances A LOT more than Ayu does. So there really isn't anything bad about either of them. They really shouldn't be compared AT ALL, and i just hate when people call Kumi a bi**h and stuff like that. She is free to do whatever she wants and no one should judge her.

Ayu really is the only artist that has me look up to her so much as a person by going trough so much in her life as a child, but even more by seeing all she's been trough as a singer. I think we ALL saw what was going on at the DOME TOUR when she didn't cancle the concert even tough she got hurt and had hearing problems (she came from the hospital so that the show goes on); and on the ASIA TOUR when she performed with her leg being hurt and in a cast. She has never given up on her fans and thats why she is being loved all over the world.

To get back to the video... I really hated the way A LOT of her fans responded to the girl by calling her a black bi**c and more ugly names. it was just too offending if you ask me. Sure what she did was wrong and all but racism is just too much!!!

that's why i wanted to discuss things with you guys here and hope to have a mature and racism free discussion with you.
