Concert tour 2000 - was she sick?

[love in music]

i was watching Concert tour 2000 the other day and her voice sounded really bad, like she was sick or something.. i don't remember it ever sounding that bad during that time with other lives and such.. so my question is does anyone know if she was sick during this tour?

which one did u see? there were two tours in 2000. And I think it was just her original voice you are wondering about. If you think 2000 tours were bad you should go see countdown live for 2002-2003! That was horrible!

i saw both, and they both sounded like she was sick. i heard she was sick in the 2002-2003 CDL too, and she sounded worse than that in the two concerts i watched, so i was curious. also in her TV lives in 2000 her voice didn't sound nearly as bad as in the tours imo, again leading me to think she was sick.

Hmm... Maybe she was. I don't know, but I never heard whether or not she was sick. I actually don't recall her sounding too horrible. Maybe I should watch those concerts again...

Well... she used to sing VERY bad until 2002, 2003...

She was sick at some point, but I don't think it affected her vocals.

　　(S) How did you get out of the dilemma?
　　(A) Well, I was very uneasy when I started the nationwide concert tour. I felt like drawing back when singing the second song or so, which I know is very impolite. I wondered why. I had been looking forward to the tour and every staff had made great efforts to prepare for it, but I felt something different on the very first day from what I had imagined. I couldn't enjoy at all. I had been wondering why while I was doing the Act 1 (the first half of the tour). After finishing the Act 1, I had to cancel some concerts of the Act 2 because of the ear disease. But I could rest then. I could have a time calm and not busy in the hospital, for example. I thought then I had wished strongly before as, "Look at me, everyone ! I'm here !" and had made efforts to make them turn toward me. I didn't know what a live concert was like, as I hadn't done it before then. But, when I first appeared on the live stage, I had already been looked at, by about 20,000 eyes, before I said, "Look at Ayu ! I'm here !"

Yeah, I always thought that the Part II vocals were...horrible. Even my cat hides under my bed. (I'm serious!) But I just attributed that to her being new and untrained.

So she was singing bad due to her Ménière's disease?

[vampireknightzero]

i think she's sick especially for the part 2 concert tour...somehow like a serious cough or smth, the part 1 is better. but i'm not sure of the real reasons, but to me she seems sick that time

Nops... she didn't had it until Dome Tour 2001... (and it only hugelly affected her singing after she knew she was totally deaf), so... IMO she just was a disaster as a vocalist...

^ wrong! her ear-problems started before CT00 part 2, she even cancelled the first concerts of it because of a "temporary deafness" in her left ear

[Andrenekoi]

^Really?
Well, still, she was a terrible singer back at 2000 xD

[noidea]

^ yep, I think it was said in the NTV interview of 2004

[Andrenekoi]

^ The Avex bashing one? If it's this one I saw it and can't remember anything about CT00 part 2

[noidea]

yeah, the avex bashing one xD it wasn't much about it, but I think they said she already had ear problems once the year before(before DT01) when she encountered a temporary deafness in her left ear and had to cancel some concerts of CT00 part 2

[Andrenekoi]

I'm going to watch it again just to prove you WRONG noidea!
