She could actually have a shot in the U.S. R&B is finally bubbling back up to the mainstream in the states, and Japan will probably follow the same cycle in 5 years or so.

She'll have to be more picky about what style she uses and who she collabs with. No more flash-in-the-pan artists like Far East Movement.

Yea, she could do pretty well in the U.S., considering there is no hint of engrish in her. It all comes down to how long she is willing to promote in the U.S. Time is money sometimes, but it doesn't seem like most asian acts/artists are willing to take the time to build their career in the american music market.

Ahhhh.... I'm sad Far East Movement went out fast. Maybe they'll have more hits in the future?

(Also I still think it has to do with how they're asians)

Been a fan of Crystal for a long time. It was actually her R&B style that made me fall in love with her music. I like the sound of an english language album. It is sad to see jR&B acts fall off the radar, so many of my favorites disappeared. I'm glad Crystal is still doing her thang.

She is one amazing person. I think I'm even more in love with her.

Although I adore her, I am sad to admit that I don't think Crystal would do very well in the U.S. simply for the fact that foreign artists don't always become as well-known here as they did in, say, the 80's. But I would LOVE an English album (really, another album in general, I don't care what language), and I would die of happiness overload if she ever performed in the U.S. And if she ever did branch out to the States? Wouldn't be any arguing about it from this fan.

Crystal Kay isn't a foreign artist though, she's an American citizen, LOL.

Crystal Kay grew up in an American US military base in Japan. There's a lot of Japanese-Americans and Americans in Japan that live in these American bases where English is the everyday language.

She's born in Yokohama, and the military base is still in Japan though. I don't think that qualifies for American citizenship.

Her dad's American, therefore, so is she.

You either have to have one American parent or be born on U.S. soil to be a citizen.

I really wish she makes it here in some capacity enough to tour at least since she has always been mentioning as one of her dreams since as long as she started

sobbing at RnB falling off ;__;
