The first thing that really caught me was her hair cut in the beginning shot, it makes her look like a man, and then that tube top of a golden dress. Ugh! It makes her shoulders look too wide in my opinion. It looked like someone tried to wrap her in a golden foil like a candy bar. I hate like at 1:31 and I just don’t get it, what’s up with that. It’s so unattractive, it’s like the back of her head, but it looks like she doesn’t have any hair, I like the other hair cut way better. The white dress is better, but that blue wrap dress just looked matronly and aged her. I liked the black and white one, that was a lot better. At 2:41 she looks like something from The Grudge. I really hate it. I think this could’be been so much better, bu tit looked over strained, they put way too much make up on her and not nearly enough effort into flattering clothes. They make her look old, she shouldn’t look like my grandmother, and that’s what the clothes AND the make up does. It ages her, no one wants to hear an old lady sing about love-well, maybe if you’re an old lady. But Utada isn’t an old lady in the slightest. (Not at 26!!)
I watched BoA’s Eat You Up Live!!! Of course she couldn’t sing all of it, but you could totally tell that she wasn’t lip syncing when she had the mic to her face. I think she sounds amazing live, better than the official studio version I’d say, mostly because… it’s BoA… LIVE! Of course she’s going to be amazing. She’s just that awesome. I don’t get how anyone on Earth could be BoA, she keeps such great rhythm in her dancing and in her music, and she does some pretty intense dances while she’s singing. And it’s not, oh she’s swaying and singing. It’s… BoA dancing. She has amazing breath control, that’s all I have to say. You totally need to see it live.
Okay, I totally just saw a video of a Namie Amuro commercial advertising for Coca Cola, it’s called WILD or something, either way-watch it! So awesome!!! Wow! okay, so I I just saw Namie Amuro’s Wild PV. I must say it’s the best thing in the whole freakin’ world. They gave her an amazing outfit (both of them) and perfect flattering hairstyles to go with them. They each have distinct attitude and are so cool. I’ve always been a fan of Namie Amuro’s dancing abilities. But This is really something awesome. So smooth and cool!! I feel like a Namie Amuro fangirl. It’s so cool though, I first checked it out because of the commercial I just mentioned. I think if I could buy the PV I would buy that, because Namie is killer attractive and I’d adore watching this music video more than just listening to it… is that a fail or an epic win?

It is strange how they make Utada look so old. And it’s not just that video, in general, her “look” right now seems to be much older than she actually is. I wonder if that’s her choice or some record label stylist? Either way, she would do better to go with a younger look probably.
