Automatic live is still nearly flawless (barring UU when her voice was going to hell - though it still sounded amazing) and it seems that she sings Automatic better with age.

A lot of her experimental stuff is when she struggles to get notes out. Passion, Stay Gold, This is Love, Keep Trying (though again that was probably the worst live in UU because of her vocal issues) being prime examples.

I still wouldn't call it vocal deterioration though. I just think she composes songs that are, often times, not in her range.

Dear heavens, I almost typed "Is this Love" instead of "This is Love" my JPop artists are overlapping too much with song titles. Maybe Utada's song is the response song to Ayu's.
