I still listen to that SPITZ tribute album regularly, it's really well done. Can't think of any other tribute albums offhand.

On repeat playings of Utada's Letters, I "get" the song now. It's a good song, still a little disorienting for me for some reason

Ringo should have covered Parody. I'm just not liking what she did with Letters.

Call me a corn ball, but I totally far for silly Ringo renditions. Its almost what you would expect her to do while on vacation and she just has nothing else to do.
I will say I'm here for AI's final distance its kind of interesting take I didn't think I would like it as much. |

DG, you could NOT be more wrong!
Letters is one of my favorite Utada songs to, but when she shifts into her lower register, I get chills! It has a lot of groove, and it feels very smokey too. I can just close my eyes and picture hearing this at my local jazz club... |

Well, Ayumi's is indeed sounding the best so far (at least as an Ayumi fan anyway lol), no doubt she got most of the budget :-p

Ugh, that literally sounds exactly like a remix of Movin' on with out you. It's nothing more than a rehash. Ringo's is a creative re/deconstruction at least.

After hearing Letters in full, I take back what I say (well, half of what I said)- it does pick up and get a bit more interesting after the first chorus. Production seems better than both Reimport and Sunny- which is weird.
The first minute or so still sounds totally phony and she sounds like she's thinking "wish it was travellin" to me... The opening of Baishou Extasy/Ringohan seems more genuine than this. Overall, it's not her best cover ever for sure- but it's certainly not her worst (The Lady is a Tramp- I'm looking at your sorry horribly pronounced English, sloppily performed music ass...). I imagine it will be the song people are going to remember off this compilation- so that's a good thing for Ringo... but not such a good thing for those buying the compilation.
