Hmmm....One Song? That Is Hard Because I Hate Some More....
Kettobase! The Start Freaks Me A Little, And The Song Itself Doesn't Exactly Sound That Interesting To Listen To. I Feel Bored Just After The First Verse. Damn it...

Poppin' would be my decision because it would be a terrible song if you wanted to introduce her to anyone. I really don't have to explain myself for this one as you could see it in the song. The song can be racist, sexist, and a bit offensive. I could see why some people like the song, but the song could be misinterpreted a lot. I know what the song itself means, and it being a parody song, but it could be viewed differently.


Poppin' is a good choice. But it's not a bad song... You're right on when you say you can't "introduce her to anyone" with this song. Utada doesn't seem like the "tight jeans, no panties on" kinda artist. In my opinion, Utada seems more cerebral and nerdy, which is weird for a pop star who writes and sings really good R&B songs. But, hey, it's worked for her and that's why I've loved her music for the past 11 years. Let's get real, she's nothing like Britney. Utada doesn't exactly ooze hoochie or sexy for that matter. She may have that side to her, and she plays around with these themes in her English language songs (Devil Inside), but she really isn't a hoochie artist like Britney or Madonna. It works for those two, but not for Utada.

Now, that said, i think Poppin' is a great "pop" track. I think if Britney had sung this song, it would have worked in a BIG way. The lyrics, would have been very tongue in cheek because Britney has been known to party without her panties on. Also, it would have been epic to hear Britney sing, "Hey, I might seem CRAZY, but I'm all right." How campy and ballsy would it have been for Britney to sing these lyrics?

Kotoba ni Naranai Kimochi - boring song because it sounds monotonous to me. It's melodic vanilla and not very creative - she took the interlude from First Love (which I kind of liked) and stretched it out into a song... Didn't work for me. I STILL LOVE MY UTADA THOUGH!!!

The entire Exodus tracklist minus Crossover Interlude, Exodus 04, YMMWTBAM, Devil Inside, and Kremlin Dusk.

Boku Wa Kuma

Oh and Poppin'

Other than that....she's perfect.

Hmm, well I guess but you can't even tell she's using an accent in the song. The only way I knew was because she said she was using a "slight accent" and to be honest not a very good one xD And just because she isn't white doesn't mean she can't use an accent. She isn't using it in a vulgar, doragatory, way. She's just talking. I talk in English, Russian, Hispanic and other accents so does that make me racist? No. I'm just emulating something I hear. If i had some stupid little joke to go along with it then yes, racist but in that case and hers, no.



She never said she was using an accent.
She said it sounded like she was talking with an accent.
It was something involuntary that just came out the way it did by accident.
Take another listen to the interview.

No songs should be banished.

& she is not faking a British accent.
Japanese people use English in their songs all the time. sometimes it doesn't even make sense. and of course they're going to have an accent. they don't mean to sound that way... nothing wrong with that.

Agreed.

But I don't think she was trying to mimmic a British accent :P

And Yeah, I'm a spanish speaker, so depending on the people I'm speaking with I'll change my accent to suit their way of speaking. I'm not doing it to be raccist...rather to make them feel comfortable. And ofcourse I do the same when speaking english XD

So I believe saying that it's "raccist" to immitate an accent is not being open minded. ....and I mean to say that in the nicest way as possible. I'm not trying to be mean or anything >.>

But all in all...I agree with Billy

I do believe you're mistaken...She is not faking a British accent at all.
