To me, Hikki is much more a musician than a performer (while Ayu is much more a performer than a musician). The only reason that makes me not wanting Hikki to let the singing to the singers (LOL) is the fact that I LOVE her voice and her put lots of emotion on her singing (Hikki's voice has more emotion than Ayu's entire performace IMO). But as a singer, I already gave up of her! Hahahaha

But she is not bad, she only seens not to care about her vocal technique most of the time while live...

The preformance of Deep River from the Japan Gold Disc Awards (2003, I think?) was the best live I've ever seen ever. *_*

Yeah, that live was amazing!

Hikki's voice. I love Ayu's too, but Hikaru just has an amazing vocal talent.

Based on those two particular videos, I'd say Ayu.

Based on the artists themselves. I'd say neither. They both have their faults but beyond that they're able singers, but not the best.

Utada hikaru of course. I use to think ayu was decent but now I find her lives kinda messy. Utada was really good at the beginning, but now she seems to have weaken although I still like her live performances. Her voice is just nice to me and she's so emotional. If she did a little bit of coaching on the breathing, she would be more awesome-o!

hikki desu~

IMO,
hikk's vibrato is too fast
ayu's vibrato is too slow
hikki sounds better than ayu on TV.
ayu's concert lives are really good, but the hikki concerts i saw so far arent as good.
@_@
in general, i like utada's VOICE more

Ayumi's voice has way more going for it, and her vibrato rocks

Hikki's. As a vocalist, she's way better than Ayu. But I love Ayu's voice too.. it's just got something that draws you in lol

Another good vocal performance by Hikki:



BUT a better vocalist than Ayu+Hikki combined:

Spoiler:
BoA! Surprised?



No way hikki or ayu can do what BoA did on 5:24-5:42



And Namie sings like with no effect. As if it's like breathing...

Why bringing Namie and BoA here ~~
By the way, I see BoA moving her mouth, but her voice keeps coming from her nose o.o

Didn't get what UHPlus found so amazing about her live

(Don't get me wrong, BoA has far better lives)

I think they all have better videos than those lol

Utada again, stamina problems, BoA is nasal, and namie is off key and can't hold the microphone right.

All of the Japanese artists seem to have their share of awful, good, and great lives. I don't see how it's possible to really compare them using that medium.
