^To be fair you can avaliate Ayu's vocal on a objective way if you take only technique and notes in consideration... But honestly I never met someone with vocal technique background that ever found her a good singer at any point on her career, even among those who actually liked her music. She was consistently bad at singing from the begining even if she was bad on different ways at different moments.

But I do guess most people around here are basing their opinion on her singing on subjective points, so I kinda agree with you.

(TBH if someome was that worried about how people sing, they most likely shouldn't be listening to jpop)

ps. It's not like I was ever that found of Ayu on tv anyway... Save from the Music Fair she sang covers, the Virgin Road at kouhaku and some Ayuready here and there, she always feels restrained, cold and lacking personality when singing on TV for me. A far cry from the monster performer she shows to be on her own stage.
