True. But I do consider Ayu to be a great vocalist actually. The live performances from 2003-2006 show what she’s capable of, but sadly bad habits added to her hearing problems did not good at all. On the other hand, she has an amazing stage presence, but I don’t think that’s something it can be teach, you either have it or you don’t.
