I don't think she's at all Asian? But again this is going by her looks. It's definitely Sweetbox's 'human sacrifice' - it's on their best-of, which I have, and production and singing both seem pretty much identical to me. It's a Korean release (that I got from an asian pop site) which is why I got confused. And I think she did the original versions of a couple of songs which have been released by Ayumi Hamasaki ('the japanese britney spears' etc etc etc, as if britney ever made massive trance tracks like Ayu does, or has been anywhere near as prolific, what is this 'quality' of which you speak?).
Her latest, addicted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BKgMXUmm7s&search=sweetbox), is one of the best I think. (is youtube - i think you said on ilm that you couldn't deal with youtube being on dialup. Is that just because things take a while to load? because even on my connection I have to hit pause at the beginning and wait for the whole thing to load before I can watch it, so watch out for that I guess.) It melds, not entirely successfully, 'in da club', 'whatta man', and some string sample that I totally recognise, what is it, vivaldi or something, this is going to bug me forever (<--which is the basic reaction to every one of her songs, very familiar classical samples are the sweetbox conceit.)
