I am TRYING to be fair.

It's like... righting the wrongs that people are saying, or at least trying to clarify them. I'm trying to get it through their heads that there were other circumstances that probably made this live less than average other than her "vocals not being up to par." I know that I can't change opinions, but it doesn't hurt to try, right? Also, those people's opinions that the CDL was "CRAP" and "BORING" and "UNSATISFYING" could go for many people, but I don't think that the majority thought so... from an unbiased point of view, the CDL had her tamest outfits of CDLs yet, and they were ALL good. The production values were solid and she had danceoffs, a ribbon dancer, a huge stage, lots of glitter and confetti. Two stages were present so she could perform to both sides of the hall. All that was really lacking was her vocals, which people who don't even know Ayu could probably forgive seeing as how this was a TV version. [and to those who went to 12/31] If they knew that the previous concert was better, they'd probably have preferred to go to that one, but seeing as how many would want to see her at the REAL Countdown show.. :\

[There's also the fact that she's kinda performing at a little before midnight and up until half an hour after 2 in the morning.. so that could be a factor in her bad performance on the actual 12/31 thing.. can you imagine performing a 17 song set + MC with like what, 5-6 hours of sleep the night before up until 2 in the morning?]
