When she sang M during TA tour last year (it didn't make the final cut) it was really, really good. She sang it lower, and in a more rock-y version, kind of similar to PoM. She did not sound strained at all. I may have enjoyed that performance more than when I saw her at CDL 04-05 and she sang it.

The only songs she sounded strained in to me were Heartplace (slightly) and cutesy songs like Summer Diary.

I honestly haven't listened to this in forever, so I had to just go listen again. It's not bad (none of the songs I mentioned are), it's just...completely forgettable. I can see what you're saying, but I think it doesn't quite appeal to my sense of melancholy. Obviously ever free is like her most perfect example ever. But I think she captured melancholy best around Duty...Scar, and even to a lesser extent, Key, really capture melancholy for me (yes, even though Key is a pseudo-happy song).

Despite the fact that there are a LOT of songs that I like from each of them, (mis)understood and Secret feel very over-produced, and such a moment-in-time for me.
