Not to be a hater or troll or anything, but I think she's a little rusty.... Or maybe her monitors aren't really working well.... Whatever the reason, she's a little out of tune. Those first notes were a bit shaky. Despite this, she's still one of my top artists on my iPod.
I think that she likes what she's been singing for the U.S. audience, because I doubt she'd be doing this if she didn't truly like it. But she does need to work on her voice live.
I'M A BIG FAN OF UTADA. But I wish she didn't have to resort to different things just to appeal western audiences. -__- I like her first Western album more though.
You're Wrong. I love Utada's music. I am not obsessed with sex. I am a virgin. I'm American. She has millions of fans here in America. T__T shut up with your stupid stereotypes.
@RikiMonet its really true though, most people ive seen are focused with fakeness, all autotuned, and based on sex drugs and money. Its honestly not just a stereotype. The girls in my hometown would never pick this up, because its not "the american music" they want :( its a sad fact
-__- have you actually been in ammerica? Yeah a whole lot may not have been sold, but she's widley popular and that was just one album. She has others you know. And there is a thing called illegal downloading.
Precious under her old stage name cubic u did well on its re-release to the japanese but did not do so here, and her newest album sold even less than exodus. I live in the united states btw -_-' She isn't widely popular simple and clean and sanctuary are popular. . She has even said it herself that she doesn't really have an American fan base there is a reason why she has 3 more japanese albums. Stop acting like you go to every state and count how many fans she has -_-'
@Arriss3 Stop acting like I really care about your opinion What do you know?People know who she is, poeple like her, people love her music.I consider THOSE people fans. And maybe if it was possible to count up each and every one of her fans,IT WOULD BE MILLIONS. Maybe you just get enjoyment from seeking out random people and insulting every little thing they have to say.Quit bothering me when I'm only 13 and am obviously smart to point out your idiotic behaviour. Grow up.
Haha if you didn't care then you wouldn't have started to argue with me. Secondly you have already proven yourself wrong. You started off saying that she has millions of fans and then later say that she possibly could, admitting that you don't know. Good job! Go back to daycare before you exacerbate that stupidity you are attempting to displace on others.
Obviously. I feel bad for your mother, for giving birth to such an ignorant,arrogant, foolish,twit.You are a waste of time and space, so I'm therfore ending this conversation. Have fun being the idiot,dimwitted, fool I know you are.
Oh gosh, your writing is atrocious. Kid, go back to school and pay a little more attention in English.You can attempt to insult me as much as you want, but you are the one who was proven wrong.
You may be older than me, and smarter than me.But you're obviously not any more mature. YOU'RE the idiot who's arguing with a child. At leadt I'm smart enough to realize that. At least I know how to act my age. Hopefully now, you realize what a twit you are.
So wait, you're the one who was proven wrong but that makes me an idiot? Yet another time where your logic has been proven to be flawed. No mature human would ever demean another persons perspective and not allow them to voice their opinion. I started the discussion off with facts you are the one who decided to get upset at being proven wrong and fall back to insults, making this an argument. I have no way to prove if you are 13 but you most definitely act it.
Yes, in fact it does. Arguing with me and trying to degrade everything I say Isn't going to do anything. Really, think about it. I'm trying to prove a point here.The point that you really aren't mature enough to grow up and be the bigger person and quit arguing with me. As for for insulting you, I was upset with the fact someone was demeaning what I had to say, and another thing; No smart human would argue with someone younger than them.
Yet I have done nothing that you accuse me of. You really can't even come up with an coherent argument. I did not demean anything you had said, only provide evidence to prove you wrong. You had lost one debate and in a sad attempt to gain some dignity back you are trying to one up me with judgmental claims giving no actually backing to your argument. You tell me to grow up? Kid you are the worst kind of troll.
@Traces1000 Ouch, that is sooooooo wrong, when you say huge stereotypes like that, you have to say something intelligent, you're so far of the truth.
Americans love shitty pop music on MTV and some are hypocrite fans of the asian culture, but every countries have a lot of hypocrites (not everybody of course). And some americans are intelligent, like in every country. That is a good stereotype
the lyrics sound like something scribbled on a bathroom wall in a rundown bar. The support musicians all seem bored to death, just waiting for their paychecks. No wonder
@UncleePaulie Her style has always been R&Bish lol. It just didn't sound as americanized. It sounded more mesmerizing then. Her style is actually becoming more of an experimental pop style now :o...
People keep saying it was rude to have her perform at the end of the show. She performed twice that day. She did Come Back to Me and then this song at the end. I think it's great they she got to sing twice.
I don't think she was sick either. I saw her live in Japan, she sounded just like this. Even in Japanese. I like it though.
Having her perform at the end was rude, but look at it this way: The US music industry is the most competitive in the world. The fact one of Japan's most famous singer's work translated to this much American exposure is a big deal, especially since she has very little exposure.
I think she sounded fine. Geez, what is everyone talking about? That's a hard song to sing (trust me I've tried!). It's impossible for anyone to sound like the record, especially today WHEN EVERYONE USES AUTOTUNE. This woman used her own natural voice on a track she could've easily lip synced, so give her a break dangit.
She may need to work on her live singing, but I like that she actually sang live. So many singers just lip sync today, feel like a rip off for some reason.
I think even if she doesnt sing amazingly well in english is already is the best i mean lets see, she speaks fluent japanses and english, she the is the best japanese singer, and she can see pretty well in english too(maybe not the bets or not as good as the otehr american singers she still can sing better than normal americans can).
well at least she tried singin!,.my baby ish still great..hope she will get better!...man wen she ish poplar 2 tat american, tat timin ish bad n she ish sick...so cant blame her...she still did a great job...rootin 4 u UTADA!!...=]
@blueembers2 Yeah me too. I think its partly to do with the fact that its a lot harder to write a song that plots out a melody in english if you are choosy with your choice of words. japanese has even number of bowels to consonants so it lends itself better to that sort. I think that's why there are more english songs which tend to have more abstract melody driven by beat. It's easier that way.
that was probably a BAD day.. she was a little off in the beginning and at the chorus when she said "oooo- aaaaH!" this scares me, but she's still good. She has to continue practicing hard. I wish her luck.
@takashi2000 What don't you sure them the myriad of amazing lives she has done over the years and skip the one where she had a sever case of tonsillitis?
@digitaljunkie115 Who says I don't look at other lives? If I wasn't a fan I wouldn't be watching, not like it matters, being a fan isn't about kissing ass. She's my favourite singer, but that doesn't mean she's flawless. This live is a crappy one, 'nuff said.
@nagisaFan1O1 I'd have rather her lipsync if she was THAT sick as you claim, because this was just a terrible move for her career. First of all, people in America watching this aren't gonna know she was sick, its a bad first impression. & second of all musical artists sing at odd hours ALL THE TIME, so to me thats not an excuse. I dont know why you're arguing anyway since Utada is my favourite singer you dont have anything to prove. I just dont like this particular performance.
@takashi2000 Rght Takashi, i for one didn't know her, din't know she was sick and had only this one example to judge. When you're young you don't yet know your own limitations, and you will press on - which is why young people can achieve both greatness and sometimes failure
I'm not a fan of the lyrics at all, but the idea of taking that "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" song and turning it into a hip hop beat was genius. Her voice is so mesmerizing too, so I just try not to listen to what she's saying X-x
But err....seriously this isnt the song to perform live/ on tv....a noob would just be all wtf?
Not even lol, just eh? wut?
And ya easy breezy was pretty retarded, just don't get the aids that lets you put that on an album....I mean how the hell did that get past anyone?
She needs to think through english lyrics more and shout at marketing guys.....also to do more live stuff and attempt a western direction more akin to bjorn than...Ne-Yo?
I love her music and she's beautiful, but she has to just on stage by herself and sing, rather than these goofy looking guys pretending to play the guitar and drums. It might work in Japan, but looks silly here. She needs more cool looking guys in her band and have them really play.
You've got to be kidding.. What a piece of shit song.. A disgrace to Mr Sakamoto and the original piece. Wtf are these lyrics; stupid, to say the least.
the song isn't bad or stupid it is just hard to under stand the context of the song. it seems a bit disjointed but it is is an okay song. crapy live performance though.
the reason they made her sing at the very end, rolled the credits on her, and cut her off is because the previous segments of the show obviously went a little long. Also its not like she is an A list singer in america as of yet. If she was they would have MADE time for her. I like her but right now she is like a B list singer at best. she was a little treat at the end of the show not the grand finally. Maybe in little while she will gain more fame and improve her English lyric writing a bit.
a million times yes i agree they improved since exodus. i steal cant belive she actualy refrenced edgar alen poe in that song. What was she strait out of high school? =). i also like a lot of her newer stuf but i steal dont get the references in come back to me and mery cristmas mr lawrence. maybe if i knew the context of the lyrics?
I liked easy. the lyrics were not great but they were better than older ones. krimlin dusk was just owful lyricly. how old was she. it seems like she was strait out of high school seeing as how she was able to remember Edgar alen Poe's Lost Lonor, and reference it in a song.
I also like FYI and Dirty Desiers. they are refreshing
how many japanese songs are about being in love or falling out of love.
how many japanese videos take place in a middle school with them wereing school uniforms.
She has been a fan of Poe since she was a little girl and he's one of the greatest authors in the world. The name of the poem is The Raven not Lost Lonor maybe you should read it before you start knocking an artist for referencing a classic piece of literature. Also I don't think Poe is required reading for HS students. Not to mention it's "awful" not "owful". You should stay in school and stop posting your poorly thought out opinions on here because you are only embarrassing yourself.
lol he went so fast to get the camera unless he got it next to him w8ing for utada.... unless he got it on camera a free concert ticket lol recording it live..
i do agree tht u Japanese songs r ODeee good nd i did think dis album was gonna suck but its madd good!! i was shocked i liked alot of the songz just like i luv her Japanese songz as well she rox ass nd idc if she makes it in the U.S or not cuz she will alwayz be my fave
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I dont like this at all. This is so generic compared to her japanese songs and kingdom hearts songs. She is trying to be like the main stream american artists and I think thats a mistake. what made me love her music was the fact that she was so different in her lyrics and music
Yeah, but I think she was sorta phased after her Exodus album got very little attention over here because it was too "experimental". Hopefully if she does get noticed now, we'll see more of the Utada that we know. Ya know, we need more Heart Stations and such on the radio.
She did this at 7:00 AM , 7:00 AM !!!!! have you ever try singing at 7:00 AM ????

I'm not a fan of the lyrics at all, but the idea of taking that "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" song and turning it into a hip hop beat was genius. Her voice is so mesmerizing too, so I just try not to listen to what she's saying X-x

Got all her albums (lol no I didnt pay)
But err....seriously this isnt the song to perform live/ on tv....a noob would just be all wtf?
Not even lol, just eh? wut?
And ya easy breezy was pretty retarded, just don't get the aids that lets you put that on an album....I mean how the hell did that get past anyone?
She needs to think through english lyrics more and shout at marketing guys.....also to do more live stuff and attempt a western direction more akin to bjorn than...Ne-Yo?

I love her music and she's beautiful, but she has to just on stage by herself and sing, rather than these goofy looking guys pretending to play the guitar and drums. It might work in Japan, but looks silly here. She needs more cool looking guys in her band and have them really play.

the song isn't bad or stupid it is just hard to under stand the context of the song. it seems a bit disjointed but it is is an okay song. crapy live performance though.
BlackFang74 2 years ago 3
Yeah This song is great.
But the Original is just Amazing.
I think the crappy performance was because they had her drink coffee before she preformed.

the reason they made her sing at the very end, rolled the credits on her, and cut her off is because the previous segments of the show obviously went a little long. Also its not like she is an A list singer in america as of yet. If she was they would have MADE time for her. I like her but right now she is like a B list singer at best. she was a little treat at the end of the show not the grand finally. Maybe in little while she will gain more fame and improve her English lyric writing a bit.
BlackFang74 2 years ago
you do agree that her lyrics have improved since Exodus, though, right?
i love this song to bits, but for some reason i'm not digging this live...*shrugs*
eni9109 2 years ago 2
a million times yes i agree they improved since exodus. i steal cant belive she actualy refrenced edgar alen poe in that song. What was she strait out of high school? =). i also like a lot of her newer stuf but i steal dont get the references in come back to me and mery cristmas mr lawrence. maybe if i knew the context of the lyrics?
BlackFang74 2 years ago
"kremlin dusk" was definitely weird...but the most awesomely bad lyrics of Exodus came from "easy breezy":
"you're easy breezy, and i'm japanesy" "she's got a new microphone"
(not to say i didn't like Exodus..."animato" and "you make me want to be a man" were great songs)
"come back to me" is supposedly based on a true story (but don't quote me on that). as for "fyi," you probably know as much as i do. lol
eni9109 2 years ago
I liked easy. the lyrics were not great but they were better than older ones. krimlin dusk was just owful lyricly. how old was she. it seems like she was strait out of high school seeing as how she was able to remember Edgar alen Poe's Lost Lonor, and reference it in a song.
I also like FYI and Dirty Desiers. they are refreshing
how many japanese songs are about being in love or falling out of love.
how many japanese videos take place in a middle school with them wereing school uniforms.
BlackFang74 2 years ago
She has been a fan of Poe since she was a little girl and he's one of the greatest authors in the world. The name of the poem is The Raven not Lost Lonor maybe you should read it before you start knocking an artist for referencing a classic piece of literature. Also I don't think Poe is required reading for HS students. Not to mention it's "awful" not "owful". You should stay in school and stop posting your poorly thought out opinions on here because you are only embarrassing yourself.

I dont like this at all. This is so generic compared to her japanese songs and kingdom hearts songs. She is trying to be like the main stream american artists and I think thats a mistake. what made me love her music was the fact that she was so different in her lyrics and music
jellyjel14 2 years ago
Yeah, but I think she was sorta phased after her Exodus album got very little attention over here because it was too "experimental". Hopefully if she does get noticed now, we'll see more of the Utada that we know. Ya know, we need more Heart Stations and such on the radio.
