Who are the most impressive female ballad singers?
Last month, singer-songwriter JUJU impressed her fans and other music lovers with her touching ballad Mata Ashita
, giving the mobile portal goo (NTT DoCoMo) the idea of creating a poll about female ballad singers.
Which female artist comes to your mind, when you think about touching ballads that make you want to cry, no matter how often you hear the song? Thats exactly what goo wanted to find out and so they listed 19 female singers and groups with female vocalists who are known for their impressive ballad performances. Who is the most impressive female ballad singer? 01 8,934 votes JUJU 02 4,179 votes DREAMS COME TRUE 03 2,919 votes HY 04 2,201 votes Others, not listed 05 1,950 votes MISIA 06 1,865 votes Ayaka 07 1,552 votes Nishino Kana 08 1,551 votes Takeuchi Mariya 09 1,407 votes Kato Miliyah 10 1,385 votes Hamasaki Ayumi 11 1,211 votes Hitoto Yo 12 1,170 votes Kiroro 13 1,009 votes aiko 14 1,005 votes Utada Hikaru 15 865 votes ZARD 16 780 votes Koda Kumi 17 755 votes Every Little Thing 18 715 votes Oku Hanako 19 560 votes Matsutoya Yumi 20 245 votes Otsuka Ai tokyohive Hmm... Miliyah and Kana higher than Ayu? I know it's due of popularity but it looks so wrong for me. The same with Ai being last here. Another useless poll, another discussion time~ |

10th, not bad. As for Miliyah and Kana higher than Ayu, I think it's because Ayu also focuses and experiments on a majority of other genres other than ballads, from rock to who knows what. Don't get me wrong though, she can pull off a ballad any time :L

To be honest, I think it's amazing she's up as high as she is. Don't get me wrong, I like some of her ballads, but I don't think she has a ballad-y voice. That is, she can't really stretch those notes, which is what most people like to hear in ballads ^^

lol at "Others, not listed" being in the top 5.
I think this goes to show that my tastes are very different than those of Ayu's target audience.

I don't listen to any of these ladies, regularly or at all, besides Kuu. So between Ayu and Kuu I prefer Ayu's ballads. HEAVEN is the only ballad by a female that makes me cry.

Ayu is a ballad singer for me, she just has too much, even though definitely not the most impressive one.
# 10 is a nice place for her. MISIA should be higher, she has the best female voice in the whole japanese industry. Also where's Mika Nakashima in that list? I would give her a place in the top 10 wihout a doubt and higher than Ayu as well.
