I love her album "Exodus". I hope she releases another english album.

Never heard of her until I came to ATRL and yet I still haven't heard any kind of music from her. She's not big in the US, which is why I don't know anything about her. Sorry, .

I think she should take a break from music and take a role in the grudge 2.

She's an amazing artist, a truly gifted musical genius! Just wish more people would know about her.

"Exodus 04" is one of the most overated songs on this forum...up there with "Try" by Nelly Furtado

But I think she is pretty good. I am not a HUGE fan but I like Automatic, Can You Keep A Secret and of course her best song to date SIMPLE AND CLEAN

Every message board I log in people are crazy about Utada, but I still don't know anything about her.
She's pretty, though. And she sold a lot of records!

I like her English stuff (Simple and Clean, Sanctuary, Exodus album), but I haven't heard much of her Japanese stuff.

LOL she's okay

Haven't heard many songs from her but "Sanctuary" and "Simple And Clean" ^_______^

I love her haha
-Keep Tryin' - Be My Last - Easy Breezy - Dareka No Negai Kanau Koro - Colors - Can You Keep A Secret are my favourites
-Easy Breezy was directed by Jake Nava (also directed Natalie Imbruglia "Shiver" and of course more videos)
-Can You Keep A Secret have an MTV Award in 2000 or 2001 for being the best japanese video, I don't remember

She ain't Japanesy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i LOVE her english debut. i hope there are many more to come?
