Vocaly strong Namie performances?

[Chibi-Chan]

I'm really annoyed that everyone always says Utada's vocal technique is so superior to all others, just because she is Utada, when it's simply not true. People may like her voice best, but I would be grateful if people could personal taste keep apart from vocal technique. I love squeaky Ayu from 2001, like many other, but that doesn't mean Ayu had a great vocal technique back then... A lot of people actually would say the girl just can't sing.
