[Aoyama Thelma] The 4th thread ~ digital single My Only Lover (08.2)

[KarenPang]

omg at the choice of English songs she has covered O___O & considering that I know almost most of them that were sung by the original artistes , I might consider getting it :O

And the covers are ain't 1/2 bad either , 1 of her best in recent times if not less cheap xD

Somemore , she looks so different in her MY COVERS promo shot too o_o

[Utena]

I love the tracklist too, but I can't afford it ;_;

[KarenPang]

;__; I hope an OS press will be made for this D: I'm not really interested in the DVD footages either lmao

But unlike BENI , I think I will be getting MY COVERS because most of the songs Aoyama has covered are songs I grew up listening to , that's before I switch to listen to JPop of course 8D

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Was hoping to be more impressed with the tracklist, but...ugh.

Only looking forward to hearing like three tracks.

[NintendoHTF1242]

I'm looking forward to hearing her cover of So Sick. But that's about it. Much more interesting than whatever BENI covers.

[KarenPang]

Unlike BENI which I'm not familiar with a lot of songs she has covered in COVERS & COVERS 2 , Aoyama's MY COVERS is more ... appealing to me ?

I don't know , the choice of songs Aoyama has covered are songs that I know how the originals sound like when I was growing up , except for either 2-3 songs & I'm interested to hear how she will give those songs a makeover with her own touch

It's just that I wish Aoyama should have covered Billy Joel's Uptown Girl as I want to compare & contrast it against what Westlife covered lmao

But the chances of me buying MY COVERS is more higher unlike BENI so x)

[PoetGirl]

I like the covers, but Id prefer something more girly. Nevermind, I have to support my girl. Billie Jean <3

[setsuka]

I love her songs choices, tho they are pretty risky since none are in Japanese and it will be kinda hard to sell, I think part of BENI's success is because her songs choices are all mega hits in Japan

but still looking forward to Billy Jean and So Sick

[KarenPang]

I don't think MY COVERS will sell well given the content & the choice of songs Aoyama has covered with all of them being English unlike what BENI did for both covers albums of hers

But I'm game to hear Aoyama's take on the songs she covered on MY COVERS , it will be interesting to hear them , especially for the non R&B tracks :O

is the best one,so excited for her covers

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Wow...I'm really only looking forward to the ne-yo cover, and maybe the Maroon 5 cover. Love the Aerosmith one, but it's nothing new. What a silly release.

[AyuGAME]

Good luck Thelma with you Covers album
i think this is the very last effort from her to going back getting some attention from public

although i feel that all of this is too american..

[KarenPang]

wouldn't really surprise me if MY COVERS will flop , given the material she chose to cover , unlike what BENI did for both COVERS & COVERS 2

I suppose only if you grow up listening to English music , chances are most of the songs you will know in MY COVERS but don't think this applies to Japanese in general D:

I have to agree with this

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

WOW Actually really like the song with Brian McKnight!

Aoyama Thelma holds a special live for a tree lighting ceremony

On November 10th, singer Aoyama Thelma held a special live during a lighting ceremony for ‘Daiba Memorial Tree‘ at Decks Tokyo Beach in Daiba, Tokyo.

Aoyama appeared at the event wearing ripped jeans and a leather jacket. Upon seeing the illuminations on the 20 meters (65.6 feet) high and 10 meters (32.8 feet) wide Christmas tree, she said, “I’m from Nara, so I used to often go to Kobe to see illuminations. It’s always sparkling here in Tokyo, so although winters are cold, it’s fun to walk around. I want to come to Odaiba together with my family and friends.”

During the live, Aoyama sang a total of 7 songs including her hits, “Soba ni Iru ne.” and “Zutto.” as well as songs from her cover album, “MY COVERS“. She received great shouts of joy from about 2,000 fans.
