Finally, the poster doesn't like how ayu seems to "judge" us when she questions why ordinary people strive for material things or how we should be improving ourselves.

Better? I don't know whether some things are what the poster meant, but I tried to read inbetween the lines as little as possible so I can give a clearer/unbiased picture..
I think what Ayu is saying quite clearly in that song, is that no matter what your station is in life, whether you are an "ordinary" person or someone famous like her, we all want things we can't have. Like she points out that "ordinary people strive for material things", but that even with her station and ability to get any material thing she wants, she still is not satisfied. She's not saying it in terms of Celebrities are better than normal people, she is saying that this is a general trait of mankind no matter who you are.
