One of the biggest stars on the planet, and just now I found out she existed.

You're still spamming?

It really makes me wonder what people in other countries think of our pop stars (especially the wtfs at Lady Gaga).

Yes I have heard of her, a lot of Chinese/Taiwanese popstars have covered her songs (not very well I might add).

Ayumi Hamasaki is also huge in Asia. Check out her live performances on Youtube, the stage setup is a sight to behold, someone has been chucking money at it.

As far as I'm concerned, she's not like Britney Spears (I mean Britney in her prime).....Britney was a pop entertainer. One of the things I think often set Britney apart from some of the other pop chicks competing was the fact that she was marketed on sex appeal and also heavily relied on dancing in everything from her music videos to her live performances. This girl is kind of sassy and her songs have that slight plastic pop sound necessary, but I just don't get a Britney vibe at all. If anything, I'd say she reminds me more of Christina in a far toned down sexually, less OMGHERVOICEISAMAZING way.....

Also, I just wanted to add, the only Asian pop artist I listen to is Utada Hikaru, and that's because I accidentally stumbled across her English song "Simple and Clean" a couple years ago, then somehow ended up listening to her English album Exodus, then a good chunk of her Japanese stuff (even though I can't understand it, lol), and have been loyally following her ever since (i.e. with her new releases, videos, etc.).....If I could choose any Asian pop artist to be successful in North America it'd easily be her, followed by that Korean artist Rain.

britney spears really ?

to me she looks and sounds like a clone of J.Lo
