I guess "Highest paid" doesn't equal "Most talented".... how else could you explain Kyoko Fukada? hehe


The good book says 'blessed are the humble...' - I guess 'dumb' qualified as 'humble'...

i dont whether you guys know this already but.. even im not a fan of Ayumi.. im shocked.. Puppy Dog Eyes

Ayumi Hamasaki deaf in left ear

Fans of pop star Ayumi Hamasaki were surprised on Friday by a post on her fan club website revealing that the singer has gone completely deaf in her left ear.

Hamasaki mentioned that she had her ear checked last year. Her deafness was confirmed, and doctors said her condition was not treatable. The loss of hearing had started as early as 2000, when it forced her to cancel several shows.

Hamasaki said that she will continue her singing career as long as she can still hear with her right ear.

singer. but she writes her own lyrics. but whatever, every singer seems to claim that they write their own lyrics these days. and they probably didn't do it by themselves.

even ERIKA-ho-sama, *says* she writes her own lyrics

ER.. i think singers are considered as musician because they are still dealing with music.. well anyway as long as what you are doing is related to music.. it's painful ..

different people different point of view on what they call a 'musician'. Some people think that someone gets to be called a musician when they create the 'music', you know, like the whole package, so they create the whole song.

writing the lyrics is like... writing an essay?? coz they probably didn't synchronize the lyrics with music by themselves.

so when those boybands and some singers say that they wrote the lyrics, i think they just took a page from their diary and have their composers etc sync their lyrics with the music for them








Beaten okay, no heat, don't let this be another Shi*rota Yuu whtvr thread

I think someone who can play and instrument is a musician... And someone who sings is a singer... They're mutually exclusive, IMO. Smile

why has it turn into a battle of 'what is musician' vs 'what is singer'?


anyway... i was shock to know that she's deaf in one ear... she is really courageous to tell everyone about it...

Singers and musicians?

I'd always assumed that musicians were people who played instruments, as BMW said.

But talking to singers... they're comfortable referring to themselves as musicians since the voice is their instrument. They make music with it.

Violinist, Pianist, Vocalist, etc.

The gray area, for me, comes when you're talking about the person who writes the words. The Lyricist. That person is a writer, not a musician. Unless, of course, the lyricist also performs his or her song. Then he or she is both a writer and a musician.

born in -69, and he is extremely cool and very much worth worshipping Wink
The photo here on database doesn't do him justice at all, he is very much <3 live.
He was in �j���đg back in the days. Is quite droolworthy nowadays. Hot.

I tried youtube, but there was nothing recent, sadly.
From 2002: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nQPf0QCfE8s He appears 5:07. I don't suggest watching the other parts Wink


(Tu_tricky, don't even think about it Mr Green )

Thing is, are there lyricists who aren't musicians or is that mutually exclusive as well?
