NEXT LEVEL album thoughts

[Lady_Eowyn]

Her music videos have REALLY been focused on making her look sexy, which really does not work for me. Unlike kuu she doesn't have the body shape for this image to work.I think she looked REALLY silly especially in Sparkle...

That's really subjective. Kuu is far from having the best body. She doesn't have the shape of a model. Though i do believe Ayu went too far and tried too hard to look sexy with her Sparkle video and ended up looking -a bit- ridiculous.

I'm not surprised at the sales of the album because I think the album wasn't very good.

I'm going to tell you the exact same thing i said to Corikaru. Next Level has sell more than This Is The One (at least double), so that probably means Next Level is a waaaaaayyy better album than Utada's one, according to your standards. Oh, and saying that the album flopped because is for the american market is not true, because Exodus sold a more than a million copies in Japan and it was created for the american market.

Honestly, i believe that standard is ridiculous. Secret - to you- is an good album and it's the first cd by Ayu that wasn't able to get a million copies. So i guess it's not such a good album, according to you, after all.

Quality has so nothing to do with commercial success Pop music is a business, not an art. That's why i love Ayu, because she doesn't make music thinking she must sell lots of records; she makes music according to her feelings and to express who she really is, as a real artist always should do.

Oh, and my review is coming very soon! hehehe LOL
