@All of the people saying her vocals were bad, I think you need to re-watch the concert on some other forum. I'm not saying this to be mean but, the first time I watched the concert was through a random site and her vocals seemed good, but not amazing. The second time, I watched a little higher quality version of the concert and her vocals were phenomenal.
I just think that you can't write her off based on one video-version you may have seen. Streaming videos aren't the best when it comes to audio quality. Also, a lot of the songs where she normally hits her best notes and didn't this time were -- as I noticed during the re-watch -- songs that were definitely more meaningful to her in nature. She might have just been a bit emotional.
People have said she looked like she didn't want to be there, but I honestly believe that this was her trying her hardest not to cry at some points. In 'Budokan' and 'UU06', she seemed happier and more care free because she knew that there was still more to come, but this time she knew she'd be leaving her fans behind and was obviously upset (if you couldn't tell by her sniffing a few times and looking teary-eyed).
Utada could probably smoke 60 packs of cigarettes, take multiple shots, and scream for 3 hours, and she would still sound better live than "most" artists discussed on this forum...
Just sayinnnn'
