She may be getting “burn out”. I can see hoew those stars would. That business takes alot of youthful energy with the crazy schedules they have to keep.

I knew of a really popular American country singer who got out of the business after just one album. She had a big hit song and was touring and very very popular and pretty….and young. But she said it was too much for her with all the tight schedules and meeting people all the time and just wanted to go back and live a “normal life”.
Of course, I read that she married a rich music producer, so I guess that made it a little easier for her to quit also, lol. But bottom line is, she obviously didn’t want to be in the business anymore.

I guess Kelly is still enjoying her entertainment career… despite not as influential, she has a healthy image all these years and is considered one of the role model of youngster in Hong Kong. Even young stars that are more popular than her these days are showing respect for her… that’s something precious.

That’s kind of a nice new photo.

I don’t know why but sometimes Kelly can be drop-dead gorgeous one day but a total disaster the next day. But one thing is for sure, her music is great–thumbs up.

Fuji… agree on look. I think it’s something about her makeup, sometimes good, sometimes bad.

she used to do study-abroad in japan (in Kobe) and my friend knew her at the school….but she told me everybody was turned off and was dissapointed beause she was so spoiled and acted like a brad. plus, here japanese still isnt that good after that three yrs of study abroad. that’s a long time, dude.
