OMG THE ACCLAIM for M

[Kyle-x]

The unexpected acclaim

[AMIT]

Wait not a 10+ average.

I guess this masterpiece deserves no less.

[Kxvk]

Not everyone giving it a 10 at least. can't say I'm surprised though, it's her best ballad by miles.

Proud of tailent getting top 2 though.

[Kworb]

There's no way Newt gave it a 10 though. She probably got rid of his troll vote

[Britneyfan09]

Ayu's very first rate win.
I wonder how things would've turned out if T-Swizz and Ivory voted.

Thank you to everyone who participated and commented during the reveals! I enjoyed doing this so much. Though there weren't as many participants as expected, it was still worth it. The winner was well-deserved for once. warriorsoul was slaying with ha comments I'll post the announcement shortly.

[Kyle-x]

thanks for hosting suu, it was fun

[Kworb]

The most stunning thing about M is that she wrote the music and lyrics by herself. I mean you expect it from artistic goddesses like Utada and Ai but Ayu is more of a traditional pop star. She can really do it all.
