I may be mistaken though. I love her song "Say It Again." <3

I have her CD, and I also sent it to my friend Ayano in Japan. It was funny, because 3 months after I mailed it to her, the CD was released in Japan, and she's such a big fan now that she's seen her live 3 times

Marie has a nice voice, and she seems like such a nice person, from watching her youtube videos.
