Do you rule artists out?

[noisy_harmony]

I couldn't got into j-rock so I gave up on it. I like several songs from JE's artists and that's it. Japanese girlgroups completely don't appeal for me (I think I need some recommendations)... I really can't find gems in japanese music which isn't a popular female singer. I'm more into k-music obviously. Everyone has their own taste.
I try not to completely rule artists out, I even can give one artist one, second, third chance... At least I like one or more songs at last There are some singers and groups I'll never like though. No matter if they have looks, charisma etc. music stays as the most important.

^ I understand where you're coming from

I have this issue with ex KAT-TUN's Akanishi Jin . There's no doubt I still feel he has 1 of the best voices in Johnny's & Associates & I do enjoy the stuff he put out when he was in LANDS mode

but it's his attitude which really annoys me a great deal

it's sad as I used to find him rather hot/good looking & I seen old pics of him where he used to look really good

now meh , he's so >_> & I'm still considering whether to support/listen to his solo works in due time when it's out

maybe I will but I will not focus on his face xD
