Britney Spears vs. Ayumi Hamasaki .....what do you prefer?

[ayumixfan]

Britney, I worship this girl atm LOL. She's just so amazing. She can do w.e. she wants and still be famous, release catchy music, and make it on VMAs LOL. Talk about godlyness LMAO. And all her albums are good <3 OH and she can lose weight rapidly! Omg britney <3 LOLLLL

Ayumi is REALLY godly too, but her recent stuff hasn't impressed me.

Although both of them can't beat Ai <3 LMAO XD for me at least.

[zyoeru]

Britney is stupid, she wastes her talent, if she actually has any.
I pick Ayumi every time.
Ayumi is far more dedicated to her music, and you can tell Ayu appreciates her fans, whereas Britney doesn't

She's still selling millions... lol I think britney is not wasting her talent at all... and she does have talent... Just because she doesnt compose her own music doesn't mean she's talentless. Sure she lip syncs, but she performed live earlier in her career and I think that proves enough. I just feel that people are Judging her ALL on her personal life and just because she's had a hard time doesn't mean she's crappy and stupid... its like judging ayu to be talentless because she got picked up randomly by matsuura :S and how she was a high school drop out. But this isn't true at all because ayu is a pop icon now. Same goes for britney, she made some mistakes but she picked up her career again. I think that proves a lot as an artist.

how can u compare britney to ayu o____________________________o

[rookies]

Ayumi definitely, although I used to be a big fan of Britney before I started listening to Japanese music

[Nayaichigo]

Of course Ayu~

[koumori]

There's no contest really..>o>'

Britney is talented and pretty, yes, but she's also young in terms of how far she's gone in the music industry compared to Ayu. Britney isn't respected, she still has to climb from the hole she jumped in when she had that breakdown, and grab the music critics by the shirt collar and yell that she can still sing XD

People still look at Britney as a young girl who still has a lot to learn in her talents. However, Ayu is developed enough to start re-inventing herself for recent times.

Although I love Britney..

Ayu has a better voice, fashion sense, lyric-writing skills (Does Britney write her lyrics? o-o') and also, although this seems harsh, has better consistancy as a singer. Britney slips up sometimes with her songs, but Ayu has delivered good songs again and again. <3

Just my opinion guys @_@' (LOL)

[Twinkle !]

Ayu

[rusuke]

Of course ayu. She's a really different artist that's why I love her. Her songs have meanings not like Western pop songs that I don't know if they were really seriously written.

When Britney was at her peak I admired her long before ayu came into my life. But she wasted her stardom when she junk her career and life.

I idolized ayu because she's a real artist. Serious, determined and career-oriented. even though many controversies have come to her life, she just moves on fighting unlike Britney who just throws away what she has been keeping.

I don't understand why some people are dismissing Britney as a legit choice. She is one of the most successful artists of all-time, and probably the most famous singer of the past 10 years. She's not something to sneeze at.

AYU!!

Well, you've got a point there, I know I called her stupid, but I didn't mean it like that. Haha. Yes, she is selling millions and I do realise she's had a hard life and I know she's had a nervous breakdown and I DO feel bad for her, because no one deserves that. But it seems that at the height of Britney's career she always seemed haughty?
And I said that about talent not because she's had a hard time, but because from the live performances I've seen of Britney, she never seems to sing live and I know people pay hundreds of pounds to see her, which kind of makes me sad, cuz I know Ayumi lip-syncs (as she demonstrated at PCDL haha), but she still sings the majority of her songs live.
I dunno, that's just my opinion. Haha. With Britney, I kind of always hope that she'll build herself back up properly, show us that she will sing live and she will write more lyrics and she'll give it her best. But it's never seemed that way to me.

[Neferet]

Ayu of course!!! I like some of Britney's songs, but Ayu is the best for me!!!

[elepop]

I used to be a HUGE fan of Britney years ago. In the "Britney" era. I still follow her news, but I don't care about her music anymore because I don't listen to American music anymore. I guess I'd pick Ayu.

But while Britney's music, life and career has been going VERY well since her comeback with "Circus" album, Ayu's career and music has been going downhill since "MY STORY"... XD

And yes, Britney co-writes quite a lot of songs. I believe 2 songs from BoA's english album is co-writing by her.

LOL? I won't start bashing Spears here, but everyone knows that she isn't talented music-wise... she was another pop product from the late '90s who was lucky enough to gain recognition and popularity but wasn't able to deal with it nor reinvent herself, while Ayu has written better and more personal lyrics, took risks in every single aspect, handled her career herself, remained always at top of the charts, evolved and changed her voice for good, etc, etc. Meanwhile, Britney doesn't sing much to say Still, she obviously dances better than Ayu, but isn't THAT talented either, compared to Madonna, for example, who doubles her age, or Namie, in terms of J-Pop

And I don't thing beauty should influence someone's artistry

[CoriKaru]

At risk of embarrassing myself I pick Britney. Just note the question asked carefully. It only asks who we prefer. I personally prefer Britney as of now for a simple reason. As shallow as her songs can be, over the years I've liked more of her songs than I have of Ayumi's. Regardless of talent. They put Britney's voice through all those crazy machines and out pops some decent catchy melodies/music. So yeah.

WHat were you wanting to achieve by posting this on an ayu forum?

Ayu ..

Milli Vanilli sold millions of records, are they good artists? You cant measure someone by how much he/she sold, mayn amazing artists sold less than a million copys in their career with 5+ albums, they still are better than britney, because I dont know what britney sells....her body? I dont really see what shes doing aside that. Singing a little playback? I could record a song, let somebody make my voice better and than jump around singing it playback as well, does it make me an amazing artist? NO
