utada to ringo is a realistic transition because utada works within the pop boundaries while maintaining creative control over her work and an exploratory/experimental edge. Ringo furthers that by taking her music to the limits of what is considered "pop" but still functioning as such while imbibing it a heavy dose of experimental and classical elements.

so ringo is almost like a much more extreme example of someone like utada in some senses. as for people who want to complain about utada, listen to her last two albums and tell me there is anyone out there who sounds like her? She definitely pioneered her own sound in the pop direction, just as Ringo did, albeit in another vein.
