She's changed. How can she not? But talent is talent, and she will always have it. I agree that she's so commercialized her image these days that it's hard to see her as an "alternate" anything. But I don't label her Nu-Ringo or sellout or whatever because if I do that, I won't be able to recognize when she does something that is, in fact, awesome. |

Stop being bitter. She hasn't changed that much. She's just played it safe. |

Why are people being passive aggressive? She's still making good music. Can't wait for the Japan tour.

Lots of artists, great artists, work on commission. It's not like she's being forced.

If something is awesome, I doubt anyone will be able to tell through that mastering plaguing everything she releases of late...

Man, OK, so I'm having a laugh at Ringo's fall- I mean- it's just funny is all.
But damn, some Taiwanese on social media are laying into her so bad... "RUINED DAY" etc etc. For god's sake people, PEOPLE TRIP. GAH. I mean, there's even people saying "I hope she never tours internationally again, she just doesn't bring it like in her homeland"... the HELL. At least my nitpicks are understandable... at least I think I explain them well. I mean, WHO TAKES OFFENSE to her tripping??? THESE ARE THE DIVA RINGO FANS. Not us scrubby old school fans btw. We just have a laugh as we would with any artist taking a dive, she's ok and didn't get hurt. This is what is getting to me more than anything. The dehumanisation of her into this... thing. And I get told off for clinging to the artist Ringo.

For the Taiwan goods, they have auspicious names like "perfect/satisfactory completion" and "lucky" for the sticker tapes, and the towel “一六八” is 168, which sounds like "make a fortune all the way" in Mandarin. The flag is called "night market", where Taipei is famous for the food. The mask is "please take care". The rest of the goods are more or less translated from the Japanese names. |
