    American R&B artist Ne-Yo has collaborated with Hikaru Utada to release a digitally exclusive single, titled "Do You feat. Utada."

    Ne-Yo has been working with top female artists in different countries around the world, such as Mary J. Blige, Natasha Bedingfield, and Sarah Connor.

    For this collaboration, the Japanese pop star is going by the name "Utada," the same name she used for her English-language releases. The digital single will be available in Japan on November 21.

    i don't like the way she over kills every note. instead of just saying "you" it turns into "youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." and she goes up and down and up and down in note.

    ^what how can you compare utada to soulja boy wtf is that haha.... soulja boy is so bad i didn't even dl that cd and i dl almost everything lol... Soulja boy is one of the biggest fag pop/rap dudes out there, even more annoying than that jibbs kid from last year. He is in his teens and he talking about hoes and shit wtf dog you not even outta high school. bad influences these days. Hip Hop is on life support because of foos like him, sorry for going OT lol. continue...

    agreed^. YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! soulja boy is a retard. his biggest hit is just gonna be crank that and they have nothing else to back up his career. it's just like how 50 cent said about how hip hop ain't like how it used to be anymore (even though i don't like 50 that much). there's a whole bunch of artists that's getting fame just cause of 1 song and that's it. their career is just that.

    I'm a big Utada fan but that was awful.-ann
     
  20. i actually have to agree with some people here... that was horrible....

    not only that, when i hear people breathing hard to get air in to sing, thats basically all i think about thru the song... pain in the ass... like the lead from sum 41...
