CoCo Lee vs. Utada (lead single to crack the US)

[George Tropicana]

Leading female artists from Asia (CoCo from China; Utada from Japan) attempt to crossover to the US pop market with backing from a major record company.

Which lead single do you like more?

It's a tuffy! I'll say.. gosh, this is tough! I like both of them so much. I liked CoCo's "Do You Want My Love" on first listen at the time but now I'm burned out on it and it's quite bland/generic to me. Utada's took time to grow on me and now I love it...

This is hard, I'll get back to you. :)

I have to say "Do You Want My Love" because after I saw that video, I fell in love with all the Asian girls in my school! :o  In other words, almost 1/2 of my entire class.  (I was the only non-Asian in my graduating class.  The smart class.  The "dumb" class had a few non-Asians.)

CoCo Lee made me sweat with that song! I felt so proud jumping up and down (yes..sweaty! caliente) during her 10-minute set at KDND's Endfest 2000!  I was the only CoCo fan in the crowd, since it was in Sacramento.  No Asians compared to SF.  Hella racist!

The MC introduced her as the "biggest-selling female artist in Asia...over 9 million albums sold!"  Everyone in the crowd: "Who?" Picante!

I liked the Coco Lee single slightly more than Utada.

I like CoCo's song slightly more too. The sexy US version with the line "Freaking to the morning light" is the better one. A-Butter is an excellent rapper!
