Turned off by the squeak factor?

I was just on soompi, browsing the Other artists section and came accross a thread tat said something like "Most Annoying voice in your opinion".

Ayu was mentioned 3/10 times... Some were quite mean about it, saying her voice sounded like a 10 year old screaming. Saome say she's more of an entaertainer than a singer...Which made me think, a lot of people were probably exposed to her music during her peak era (circa 2011-2003?) when her voice was still quite high.

I first happened upon Ayu when she released Heaven and thought her voice was average in terms of Asian singers. I was wondering--if i'd listened to AFSXX or even Duty, would i have gotten attached to her?

And these ayu voice haters, if they'd heard Ayu's voice now (which is considerablly lower), would they like her? It almost wish these people would give her a second chance.

What do you think?
