I love Namie's music and I really admire her popularity even though she's been around for more than 20 years, but some people here can't really complain about AKB48 if you think a performer like Namie is praised as royalty in the music industry for not doing anything besides being a performer, and looking "cool."

Haha it was a joke. I know Namie is a idol to (but she writes lyrics and is involved in both, writing and composition. She is just not fond enough of her skills in that area)
Aye is an idol. The term idol is not coined the same way as in the japanese industry and simply refers to being that are skilled in one or two areas, but are, overall, just simple people that could be exchanged. They usually have a bigger appeal and so on though. Yet you can't deny, that her voice wasn't anything special and still isn't. As much as I lover her, she was always more a performer than singer.
