Technique is one thing, another, and more important thing (to me and most it seems), is voice quality, and ayumi is my favourite in that departement. However recently, like the evolution live in some show recently, her singing comes off as screaming to me which was HORRENDEOUS beyond words. I actually like this performances better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdPlqm-9YQA, she's never off the melody like in some of the lives she did for LOVEppears. Probably because her ear was still fine. this is my personal taste though, I like female voices better the higher pitched they are, which is why I also enjoy yhe voice of artists like aya matsuura, masami okui, megumi hayashibara and even W. I absolutely do not like female voices that almost sound like male ones >_<, but luckily there hardly are any in japanese music. Last edited by *Petit*; 18th March 2007 at 03:17 PM.

As much as I love Ayu, she isnt as consistant as Hikaru in terms of vocal performances. Even in certain studio recorded songs, Ayu's vocals seem restricted and could be A LOT better.

I love this song so much! I don't think Hikki's voice is better than Ayu's, just different. Hikki's is more steady...if that makes sense. Ayu's changes more with her lyrics. But they are both great.

Hikki's biggest problem - she has a problem with breathing. It's one thing to breath like that when singing and dancing at the same time, but standing there and just singing while breathing like she's just run a mile isn't exactly what is expected of a good singer. It shows her lack of diaphragm support.
And singers can gain vibratos as they gain more control or better control of their voice. Many beginning singers doesn't have vibratos, but can gain one with more training and practice.

hm. never liked hikki's voice or anyone else's besides ayu's. for some reason, the sound of it just hits the deepest part of my heart.
but c'mon, everyone has their ways of singing and singers have and like certain ways of singing. i mean, what if everyone sounded like mariah carey? that'll be boring. everyone's freakin good in their own way.

Hikki's my 2nd BEST artist EVER. ♥
 I LOVE her style (specially UTADA's Rn'b one =3), I LOVE her voice, I LOVE her English (You Make Me Want to be a Man ♥), I LOVE her songs (Flavor of Life, DAMN GOOOOD deserves the #1 Single of the Year *0*) I LOVE her as an artist, I LOVE her personality, I LOVE her lives (I was like "ZOMG" while watching the UTADA UNITED! 2006 ♥) I LOVE when they show her laughing with Ayu, I LOVE her reaction when the other guest was singing travelin' during last Hey!x3! Quote:
 But I think she makes a lot of efforts to make her performance sounds perfect, that's maybe the reason of breathing problem, 'cause even during ballads she has this problem... But it doesn't really bother me =)

I like to listen to lives more than anything xD and hikki is one that really strike me down with her superb live vocals.
And no I wouldn't love to compare becos ayu and utada have like the most different kind of voice, style and music ever but, I have to really agree that ayu's live vocals are not on par with hikki's =) don't take it as an offence if you disagree yea =D

i agree that utada has a better vocal than ayumi.. but utada lacks stage appeal,lacks a pretty face (look), lack charisma, lacks the full package of a superstar (can dance and sing). Whereas ayumi has the above things i mentioned.. different artistes/singers are different cant compare..

She said music has always been the best way to express herself, that's why she loves EMI b/c they don't pressure her into appearances and dancing. Have you seen Hikki's dancing XDDD.!?

^No. She doesn't dance AFAIK. But she has this....err, small-steps 'movement' when singing XD
She has the best vocal, studio-wise. But not in her live performance. :< Best vocals....I think I could list some. Namie is one, and probably Kuu (minus random additional whoa whoa yeah yeah yeah song for youuuu~) because they sing and dance at the same time. I respect that a lot. And probably...SHIINA RINGO hands down. <3

Personally if we want to give the award to the best vocalist someone like Hitomi Shimatani or Kanon would win it. Utada's vocals are rather good but they irk me sometimes and I somehow wonder why so many people are crazy over her.

^ True her vocals sometimes seem to lack too much emotion although "Destiny" has a fair emotion of emotion. And yet Ayumi still manages to convey so much more.

 It would be so awesome if they collaborate together in a song with both of them composing and writing the lyrics that would be a dream come true

You should check out ayu's Unplugged Performance at ARENA TOUR 2002, it's great!!!
But yeah, Hikki has a stronger voice, but I wish she had dancers at her concert or something.
