And, honestly, comments like this one:

seriously piss me off. Like, REALLY. They make me furious. We're not in a kindergarten.
But it's my bad for commenting in a discussion I don't even really care about. I had it coming.

I deemed it necessary because the person I was responding to was being condescending towards people whom they disagreed with, acting as if their opinion was holier-than-thou because they "study" this or "have experience" with that. You get what you give out. If they want respect then they should not treat others with such blatant disrespect.

On topic, I really do feel like all of this tension is due to no news. Hopefully some is revealed soon.

I think people get more bold with comments when someone seems to imply their opinions are better (on something not technical) because they study and critique x, y, and z. Whether or not they actually mean to....but going off topic here....

Maybe we just need more album info lolol

I get what you're saying here, but I only brought up my experience in fashion and stage because people were wrongly accusing me of having nothing better to talk about, or having no experience dancing in various types of shoes. I wasn't trying to sound like an ass, I was explaining my comments. I was trying to explain, I'm not being a hater for no reason. Its something that makes a difference to me, based on my tastes and life experiences. No "disrespect". Then you have people purposely making asshole-ish comments because they misunderstood my reason for explaining. But, really its just sad how hurt some people get that I'm complaining about shoes. Despite that I love Ayu to death and overall, I'm a huuuuuuuuge fan. I'm an ass for not liking her shoes and then explaining why I feel that way. God forbid I complain.

Bro did you know how cool that sounded, and I totally forgot about him working with Ayu omygawd now I'm even more excited.

[adantatu2]

Honestly, I think shoes are really important in photoshoots, but I can't even watch them on the concerts because i'm always watching ayu's face or the army of dancers.

And if someone doesn't like their shoes, I think is OK.

Not trying to point fingers at anyone in particular, but I find it funny how people can make disrespectful comments about ayu in the form of an opinion yet if we disrespect each other in forms of opinion, there's a problem.

People can say what they want, I've learned to let the so-called-fans hate as much as they please. But don't ask expect people to respect your opinion when you make disrespectful comments about someone we all claim to love and admire. They know it creates a hostile environment when they trash an artist on their fan forum and then turn around and act like the victim when they get called out for it.

On topic, I'm so pissed that person is screaming in the middle of the song!!!! But it sounds amazing from what little I can make out lol. Looking forward to it

But, what is supposed to be discussed on a forum about a singer? We can't always love everything about a singer. I don't see anyone calling Ayu an old bag of dirty, ugly and used up socks or anything else. I feel like saying things like, "I don't like this magazine shoot" are perfectly valid things to talk about. As long as people aren't purposely baiting each other, what's the issue?

I agree with you, but just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. I have no problem with someone not liking ayu's music, shoes, photoshoots, costumes, etc.

But when people express opinions in a disrespectful manner it's really immature and it doesn't create an environment for discussion. Like I said, I'm not going to point fingers but I saw several comments from one user the other day that were tasteless and provoking. And to be honest, if people really have such ugly opinions about ayu they shouldn't be here. Coming here and making ugly comments is not only disrespectful to ayu but the fans as well.

My mistake then. If there is someone making rude comments about Ayu is a baiting way then yes, I agree that it seems pointless that they even bother to post. There is enough negativity in the world, why bother to create more? On the internet, no less. But, really, it just speaks volumes about that person. Happy people don't go around making others unhappy. Really, you just have to feel bad for them.

She said she heard it at his show. Guess it was a really new piece that he stuck in there. No one seemed to recognize that Ayu was featured from what I've seen...

But hopefully we get some more info or maybe someone who did recognize that Ayu was a part of his set!

[RadnasticReggie]

Really over Ayu 'feeling the love'

No worries, you can complain all you want. I don't think most people are hurt. Though anyone can comment on complaints still.

But yeah, being rude is never necessary in my world

___________

So do you guys really think that's the ayu song, I can't hear well.

Sure any one can comment on my "negative comment" with whatever they want. But, there is a difference between someone saying, "I disagree with your comment about Ayu's shoes and I like them because sensible shoes are really cool to me" and someone saying, "Well, clearly you have nothing else to talk about". One adds something to the conversation, the other doesn't. In my opinion, one is rude. An that brings me back to my point that there is no reason to bait other people or be rude to them for no reason.

People don't have to be rude, period.
Sometimes it's difficult to judge, because one is being just too sarcastic without meaning bad. Being sassy is not being evil, but since there are so many people here that come from such different environments, it'd be impossible to discuss something if we're not being careful!

Anywaaaaaay, I listen to the preview and wonder how Ayu is gonna put all the songs under one roof. It seems it's gonna be an album with a lot of variety.
I mean, Pray, then Hello new me, then this. I wonder what kind of concept she will give us to tie everything together.

Here is the same clip but without the earthquakey filming and shouting.
(Starts from 00:45)
Armin Van Buuren "Fine Without You (Sied van Riel remix)" feat. Jennifer Rene, live at The Forum (LA) 2014/05/09
http://youtu.be/05T8aRoUa6o

Is this really the part of the concert where Armin played their new track?
I'd say no, but I can't be sure.

Edit: Compare the same performance given in Vancouver some days before and see what you make of it (starts at 01:40)
http://youtu.be/-0pV5F2atsc

Ayu tweeted this photo from within The Forum

Not sure if this was when her song came on or not.

[freedreamer]

i just hope the song has proper ups n downs..and its not just one hot electronic mess. *still dreaming of Sparkle 2.0*

[terra]

Seeing that she's working with DJs and listening to the Armin Van Buuren song, I wonder if she'll do an electronic thematic tour? I wish she would with Sparkle, WHATEVER and many awesome remixes that she has it'll be fantastic!

[Zeke.]

Ugh I should've known it was fine without you! That's my favorite armin song, although I don't like that remix. The original is amazing though!!
