She only sang You were... once before this performance lol, she might have even better performances of it in time to come!

wow her voice was really bad :no this was really painful to watch. :(

did she really forget the lyrics or was she just trying to be "cute"?
because this isn't the first time she forgets evolution lyrics... you would think she knows the lyrics by now :shakehead

I have a feeling she didn't hear herself at all in evolution.. she was so off. But she was still such a cute energetic pink little ostrich and I loved the present thing at the end! You were... was better vocally than her first performance of it, I really liked it! I think she should stop wearing dresses like that though lol.

^ I think you're right, the problem with evolution was she couldn't hear herself and if you can't hear yourself you're bound to mess up. :P

lol that white dress reminds me of her HOPE or PAIN dress in AT 09, but slightly prettier.

i always consider this and respect her cos she still can sing by risking her right ear :(

lol at pink little ostrich Ayu,reminds me of Unite performance at AT06 and Vogue at PCDL :D

Me too. lol I just think if she's going to have a big dress she should go all out like this or this but many people hate those lol

I know she only sang it once before, but I think I've gone totally deaf, since people seem to like this better than the first one..
To me, the first one was one of her best performances ever, and this just suck.. -.-

I think she simply couldn't breath.. she seems to be pretty sick or something. She SOUNDS to be pretty sick.

lol She's human, of course she's going to forget lyrics every once in a while. It sounds like she forgot the lyrics for a second, but then just got a little too hyped up and had to take a breath for a second.

And for those saying "take a break" - I'm pretty sure at this time last year, she was working ten times harder. I think she learned from that. It's not like she's planning another 3 1/2 hour concert lol

I think she sounded great during "You were...". Yes, she was yelling, but that's what made the performance so emotional. She also yelled during the song, so I wouldn't expect anything less in a performance. It was much better than the first performance.

And then "evolution"... it was alright. Definitely not one of the best performances of the song but whatever. Still an entertaining performance nonetheless.

agreed with you! oh my..i'm so touched when Ayu just post her messege in TA, she really sorry for the Evo performance..Ayu's so humble!

the JEWEL one was SO pretty... that's one of my favorite dresses from her, and one of my favorite performances of JEWEL too... :heart

oh yeah I was referring to the evolution performance when I said it sounded awful. You were.. was decent :)

I still think the best dress is the white mermaid dress she had when promoting Days and she was also wearing it in PCDL. that one was stunning :yes

her outfits here were nice as well - much better than the NL tour dress!

I think she sang You were... very well, actually! :yes The first performance was definitely better, but this wasn't bad. She was a bit loud, at least at the beginning, though. But the "screaming" fit real well towards the end. And no, evolution was just...no. :no With every performance she sings that song, it just sounds worse and worse. Not to mention how sick I am of hearing it live, and that it's a terrible song to try to sing live to begin with (it takes a huge amount of breath support to sing properly)... Whatever. I'll just only watch You were, hah. :)

Either my ears are getting bad but I think she sounded slightly worse in best live then she did at Music station. I have to agree with everyone else that evolution did sound bad... I thought that best artist usually have their artists perform in a huge arena, did they decide to do it at a smaller area this year??

evolution was like even worse than her Mirrorcle World performances. ;___; I so miss Ayu when she could sing decently live. Maybe she should try SINGING once in a while instead of just yelling. :@

You were 2nd perform was beautiful but she had a lot of sounds problems on evolution no? we don't hear her or the music O_O

Wowww.... Bad yelling there! Really unpleasant to listen to! She has to try to sing more song with a mellow voice and not so many high pitched vocals, 'cause she can't do them anymore. I don't blame her, I guess it's naturally to be able to sing higher notes when you're young and stuff (and she's got that deaf ear as well). It might sound good in the Arena Tour dvd's, but they have edited the sound so much in those. Wonder what it sounds like if you're really there.

did someone turn down the music's speakers or smth in evolution?!
it was soo quiet compared to You were... i think she got distracted by it and lost her place.

I love both the white and pink outfits!!! so cute~!! The singing wasn't that good but it was enjoyable. The last part of evolution was so cute!
