This was brought to me before, but I said it in a different way but uh...
So I'm not a true fan, all the people who have posted about what they think that doesn't agree with you is a true fan?
If you are trying to send a rift in arguements like I do, this can easily become one.
I do realize something. When you are going to college and listening to an mp3 player with Ayumi on it and it's playing UNITE!. That hurts my ears. Alot. Her EEEEEEEE's are so loud that people next to me, in front of me, and behind me can hear it. (I ride on a bus). I refuse to turn down my music since I dunno... I can tolerate lots of noise and a varity of pitches of noise. Anyway, then I compared her EEEEEEE's to Poker Face and aiya. Probably why I don't have it on my mp3 disc. Then I took the same sound of EEEEEEEE's compared them with Rainbow and a lot of improvement. Then took a live perfomance and compared the two. (I chose Rainbow becuase it's my favorite song)
Now I know live and recorded are to sound different, some may say better others may say worse, however they should be somewhat similar. So I'm listening to her live and then I play back the mp3 and I'd say they sound pretty much similar, if not better because she sung that song very well.
If you want to say that's a later performance or mor recent one then this fits in with the topic. Granted her newer songs aren't as noticably great as Evolution where lot's of people enjoyed that and recongnized it more over memorial address, but she has improved a lot a lot on her voice talents.
I'm not fully saying she has a great grasp on pitches and what not but a good deal of improvement and hopefully she is picking up what she's doing wrong here.
She has a small range of pitches to her voice, people were commenting on how it's too high, and she can sing low and everything, but to actually get a firm grasp of a low pitch singing voice and to use it properly takes a lot of effort and perhaps even inner talaent. (maybe she lacks it maybe she hasn't discovered it yet?) but to get to the point of a good low voice mixed in with a good nuetral voice and perhaps a good higher pitch takes a great deal of effort. To get low is basically the same to get a high pitch. You are moving from nuetral pitch, down to a lower one which can be equalavent to moving from a nuetral pitch to a higher. I think there are more higher pitch notes than lower but only like opera singers and (that I know of who has the world record) Mariah Carey can sing between each pitch and able to jump from low to high so quickly.
Maybe a good break for some time for her personal life could help and then another voice rehersal/training can shien up some new things for her. Most singers now and days are much like Ayumi Hamasaki all across the world. They get a great background music going, a catchy chorus or tune and bam, they keep pumping them out but they lack the ability to change their pitches. (Christina Aguelera*sp* is an exception, her voice is actually very strong, she just didn't do anything with it)
To have a Japanese pop star sing higher and lower pitch vocals fluently and noticably well is actually something to recongnize as a fine artist. How many Japanese singers do people know of, if any, that had a great singing voice and could control as well as people want Ayumi to(unless I am just presuming that is what peopl want of her)?
Now one last note, japanese language uses the "EEEEE'S" a a lot in their spoken language. Probably a good reason why their words can ryhme. And if you raise the pitch to their words, perhaps you will get the same sounding EEEE's as Ayumi does. I mean, how else can you raise the pitch of those words without it sounding too high yet you want to give it a strong momentum?
