In my opinion, Utada Hikaru> all other asian pop stars. I think she has the best vocal skills, and the other j-pop stars just pale in comparison to her voice. Sure, they might be better looking than her, but i'd think singing talent comes before looks if you are a singer.
I've heard Ayu's songs, and i don't like them at all. Her voice is just so flat and plain. I mean, wasn't she a model before she was a singer? (typical qualifications for an idel maybe?) Utada has that soulful flavor to her voice. I hope she makes it big in the U.S. with her upcoming album, then she'd make history as the first Asian singer, regardless of genres, to hit the mainstream in the U.S. music industry.
