Jpop does have some AMAZING vocalists, Ayaka Hirahara and Hitomi Shimatani comes to mind, but as far as those singers western people love (being it Ayu, Hikki, Namie, Koda, etc), you are right. Even if they are pretty strong on some aspects of live performing (Hikki being capable of putting a huge amount of emotion on her live singing), none of them is a strong vocalist.
