Lol speak for yourself.

That period had some of Ayu's worst moments vocally imo (but at the same time, some of her best lol) and started her up with the cutesy nasally singing and heavy vibrato:

-Ending part of RAINBOW
-ANGEL'S SONG
-HONEY
-Humming
-Greatful days
-CAROLS (I wonder if anyone noticed how nasally the studio version is... especially the verses)
-Voyage (bothersome vibrato, although more controlled than it is currently)
-AT '03-'04 had disappointing vocals compared to the flawless AT'05.

Bottom-line: she's an inconsistent vocalist. On the same album she'll sing like crap on one song and sing beautifully on another.
