I LOL'd so hard.

And I agree with most everything on tinka69's list. I don't HATE her for these things, per se, but they do irk me big time.

Main issues:
-Ayu does not know the meaning of overkill, in regards to vibrato. It sounds affected.

-She's nearing thirty and she tries to look like she's thirteen. It's weird, because she seemed so precocious and mature when she was younger.

-She pumps out albums way too quickly these days. I know she's a workaholic, but I'm sure most of her fans wouldn't mind it if her entire crew and her took some more time to turn out some real quality.

-Her voice is too polished now. From (miss)understood and then on, she lost that quality of honesty in her voice she used to have that I was extremely fond of, even if it wasn't perfect. She still sings with emotion of course, but it feels less heartfelt and more professional. Wow, that came out weird. I meant that her singing style feels too rigid, especially the way she ends all her phrases with vibrato now.
