Asia Cruise { R&B ARTIST} will open the door for asians ,she is the beginning of “ASIAMANIA” NEVER BEFORE HAS ANY ASIAN FEMALE SOLO ARTIST HAD THE LEVEL OF TALENTED PRODUCERS ON HER ALBUM {T-PAIN,CORNABOYS ETC,} but Asia is much more than asian she is also american indian {a distant relative of Pocahantas) and caucasian. What’s great about her generation is they don’t care about color or if she is this or that (only people who write for mags,blogs,newspapers,tv are caught up in that race shit because it sells their bullshit} they just love her music! She will take the world by storm she is definitely one of the top female artist of 2008! I heard some high school girls singing “SELFISH” just yesterday I ask them why they liked it so much and they said because it’s exactly what they want to say to some boy who thinks he can just treat them like crap and get away with it/ they said it was their favorite song, The FORCE is strong in this one. SEE YA PitT-Bull P.S. That A&R GUY IS ONLY “Mickey “Mephhitz” WRIGHT” V.P OF A&R AT JIVE RECORDS A.K.A THE NEW P-DIDDY! HE only signed T-PAIN , who just so happens to dominate the radio waves of America coast to coast

Crystal’s problem is the same as with Morning Musume, Hello Project, etc.: The record companies are scared that J-pop will catch on in the U.S. to the point that it will cut into the rap, hip-hop and rock profits from U.S. artists. So they just don’t release it here. Same thing happened to the Beatles in 1963, only then it was Motown that got wiped out what the Beatles’ titdal wave hit. Same thing’s will happen for Crystal and a lot of artists with Asian followings that will soon be coming to the U.S. via the Internet.

I loved At Last! I’m not kidding – they were fantastic. (I didn’t think anyone else watched that show…) Do you know what they are up to now?

HELLO!!!! Lyrics Born, yo. “Callin’ Out” on a Diet Coke commercial and the album, Later That Day, hit number 40 on the Billboard… um, well the Billboard Independent Album charts… but still…

Also don’t forget about Dan The Automator’s various projects… maybe they aren’t “mainstream”, but the hip kids know what’s up.
