Joanne Hogg - wow

So I decided to check out the Kokoro Single from Xenosaga, and I have only one thing to say. Why has only Yasunori Mitsuda seemed to figure out Joanne Hogg has such a good voice? I'm not exactly one for English songs, but she has done some amazing pieces, especially Kokoro (wow).

Yup nice songs,but still it doesn't compare to Eyes on Me(FF8) or Small Two of Pieces(Xenogears).

Ur not the only 1 who can sing better. Think almost everyone can.
But everyone has a different taste.

It has nothing to do with dissing FF8. It's just a lousy song. Considering she got paid a million to do the song, I'd expect a heck of a lot more. It isn't the worst song I've ever heard, but it's definitely not worth the money.

I'd have to agree with Ryos there. I just heard the song the other day and had severe issues with it. Nope, haven't beat ff8 yet, at the rate I'm getting play time it'll probably be this time next year grr. And don't worry Raziel, I don't think ff8 is as bad as people make it out to be!

I don't mind the song too much. Some kid played Melody of Life and Eyes On Me during an assembly. Thank god no one else has played the games, as he would've been killed on the spot. I don't like him, though.

(you'll soon see gerbilcannon) hehe.. yeah, chop me with your katana will ya, Ryos..

Eyes on Me sounds good in the scene it's in, it just makes me cringe in pain when I listen to it as casual music. However, that probably has more to do with the scene than the song.

it's the mood that count. Gotta love the part when Rinoa turns blue in space I need to screencap it, crop it, and use it as my avatar. But I want to spend the time to do it

yup, i also agree with that.. the song just gives it more of an 'impact' i guess..

No need to be mad. It's not everyday that someone becomes candy. Remember the lesson learned from Tom Sawyer: Everyone wants to do the chore. No, I don't know how it correlates to this, but somehow it does

allow me: when tom sawyer tries to get the others to do his chores, he pretends it to be fun so they will do it for him. now, by calling Xeven a candy, you are connecting him to candy, which everyone enjoys. now, if you want candy, you have to go to the store. but do you really WANT to go to the store? no. you'll want to get someone else to go to the store by convincing them they want candy too.

that is how they are connected.
