I always considered her voice to have a very unique sound. She doesn't sound like a typical high-pitched girl. I mean, the style is there, but the sound....is different.
Anyways, I felt like back then she had a little more versatility with her voice, and just wished she could have utilized it more on studio recordings.
I'd take that any day over yelling, and ugly voice ayu...
I don't think she could have repaired the damage done to her vocals though...and her ear...it's really hard to say about that. |
I agree. There are some songs in which ayu and [insert girl J-POP artist] sing the exact same notes, and where ayu simply stands out by far, sounding less annoying and high-pitched. HOWEVER, there are some songs back than where she really pushed the "I" sound (the harsh "I" sound; like in 'rainy day'), but that was just ****ing powerful and awesome.
And what I praise her for till today is the fact that the vocals in her songs ARE her vocals (though processed for sure, but every artist gets processed) It's no overload of autotune, delays, echo's, frequency enhancing or whatever. I also LOVE her vibrato, I think it's epic.
+ I believe she has improved, I mean like; she does things she didn't do before, in "Do it Again" in the last chorus the "Fuete iku no mo genjitsu
de" and just her voice in general, so strong. Really, she showed us that @ POWER OF MUSIC live performances.
The most important part though, is the emotion she captures in each word, which in my opinion is breathtakingly amazing. And if you ask me, she still is able to do that.
Her voice lately is just as good for me too.
