I've seen quite a few that weren't so great, but keep in mind that at times she is basically run ragged by her schedule. Anyhow, I'd rather her lives be a little off as long as she is actually singing and not just lip syncing. :D

its rare to have someone have perfect lives 100% of the time.

well..of course its unique...thats wut makes her ayu,but its..not good. In ASFXX...i always thought she was WAY to squeaky..duty-her voice was at ehr prime, and rainbow-her voice was kinda raspy and strained, and not M.A. her voice is bak..and for INSPIRE-her voice was powerful...but..:-/

and ~K+ i dont understand ur comment.

+K~ is saying her live performances have been pretty bad for quite some time so that's why a lot of people complain about her voice.

i thought her lives were always ok....but songs like we wish...yuk..the song is good..but her voice sounjds so.......weird.

I have never found anything wrong with her lives, save for one back in 1999 where she was off-sync with the background music. :shrug

she got off tempo in Boys and Girls at A museum...for a lil bit only tho..i think she took too big of a breath..:P

I must be one of the only ones who doesn't own A Museum yet. :vsad I'm poor! Okay, well, not really, but it'd take me a while to save up for it through baby-sitting. I'll just put it on my birthday list. >___<

I also must say, sometimes it's hard to sing on tempo or to catch a breath without losing a few seconds of time. Being in choir for two years taught me that..

well..i guess it stood out cuz it never really happened with ehr b4...just being a second off makes it really obvious.

Her singing has improved a bunch! I agree with you! When she first started singing her voice was horrible, I can't stand listening to End Roll, I just can't do it, the only good really old songs she did was You and A Song for XX. I think Ayu's voice really started to come out when she reached her 3rd album, Loveppears was O.K. but her voice was still young then. Moments has been her best vocals so far, a friend of mine can't stand her voice, but she loved the vocals Ayu did in Moments. Nowadays, Ayu is a beautiful singer, but I'm never gonna bother buying her first album... no way

A MUSEUM was horrible, vocally... With a few exceptions, every song sounded terrible... Not to mention the horrible backup singers...

Yep, but it's common for most artists to be on key and project their voices on 90% of their lives...

Don't worry! I don't have it neither :P

sometimes her voice can be abit..atrocious...i know what you mean

I really don't understand why people post like this. You do realize you
are posting in a Ayumi Hamasaki forum right? We like her voice. Some of
us love her voice. Most of us here don't think her voice is 'kinda..eeeh'.

Maybe the people you have sent Ayu songs to are right and its you who
need to listen better.

sigh...why do I bother...

ayu voice have problem???
no
ayu voice is that thing that bring me to the Japan world...

I love Ayu's voice! She's a very good singer. But I've noticed that wen she sings live her own songs, sometimes she has problems with it (like the recent GAME+INSPIRE performance on TV) but when she sings other song, or in duet she is just perfect (with MiniMoni, or that song Haru yo - I'm not sure if it's good title) She sounds wonderful!

somebody once told me that a song for xx sounded like she was having an (it's an for a reason) certain thing that i will not say here.

or gas'm?

orgasm............just testing..:-P..
