I'm kinda disappointed with Hikki's vocals. She gives me the impression she doesn't get any technical tranining and that her singing skills barely moved anywhere from where they were around her debut, when she was basically a self-professed 'singer'. She could pull it off in the studio when singing R'n'B, currently she can still pull it off in the studio, but when she's performing live, she seems to be really exhausting her throat. At the moment, I'm pretty sure that Hamasaki is technically a better singer than Hikki.
