[Utada Hikaru] [2005] Utada - EXODUS -- UPGRADE? DOWNGRADE?

[Halla]

I'd like to vote something between upgrade and downgrade , but with these choices i'm afraid I'll have to go with a downgrade. I think some of the songs on Exodus would have been great if someone else sung them , I don't think Utada does a great job on the vocals on this album. She sounds great on her j-pop stuff , I don't get it why she sounds so bad in Exodus

I know American music doesn't get a lot of love here , but I for one am annoyed Utada wasted her opportunity to work with Timbaland by making Exodus instead of something really great.
last time she worked with a US RnB-producer turned out great. Her 'Time Limit' by Rodney Jerkins aka Darkchild , my favorite RnB producer.
