Everyone has their own opinions on her voice. I still think sometimes she sounds bad, but for the most part she sounds good. There's no reason to argue over someone's opinion...really.

I also think she has improved her vocals...
I just remember A BEST 2 promo, glitter lives - OMG they were terrible! - t2m, together when - some where good, but by this time I remember how everyone considered she did a good live even if she went off key a few times -, CDL 07-08 was IMO her worst concert vocally since CDL 2002-03, MW lives where bad too... was with a-nation 08 and Days that a miracle happened or something, she improved a lot since MW lives... AT 08 where also better vocally... PCDL were great! and also a-nation 2009 was great! I've seen an improvement... and aslo her voice has changed... singing better doesn't mean singing as she did in 2005... IMO

![]() Everything was so beautiful... ayu, her outfits, the backgrounds.. but her voice was just really bad. Although there was ONE that I thought she did really good.. but the rest were just so sad. I think ayu's voice just changes a lot. She has bad lives and good lives. One day her voice can sound awful and another day it can sound really good. But I think her voice has improved since 2008 and she hasn't been using her vibrato as much live unless it fits in the song, and it doesn't sound so unusual. She used to basically put vibrato into every song even when it didn't fit, it annoyed me so much. But she has toned it down and there is definitely an improvement IMO. Now she should just work on not yelling so much. |

No, I've been consistently saying that ever since the end of 2006 her vocals have been getting worse. And no, in terms of vocals, definitely there has not been improvement. I'm not even going to count her concert dvds and a-nations because those are all extremely edited. When it comes strictly to tv performances only, I have not been hearing any improvement. She'll have a few moments here and there during lives, but I am speaking in general. Now if it is a song like Days, she seems to not have as much trouble because it is a song that seems very comfortable for her current level of vocals; but that doesn't mean that the vocals are actually "good" to begin with. I would love to hear what Days would have sounded like with her vocals from 03-05.

^ But all of those things that you listed as good are extremely debatable as to how much of it was actually live and/or not edited to sound better in post production. I mean its not even debatable actually that Ayu's concert dvds are very edited. I always think for any artist, the only accurate barometer of their live singing ability is usually their performances on music shows and I have to say that Pride at FNS 2005 was probably the last time I was blown away by her vocals on tv. She had some nice ones in 2006 too, but not like omg amazing.

lol, why do people always take it to that conclusion? That makes no sense to even say, especially when I just got through listing times when I thought she sounded really good and/or great. There are plenty of times she has sounded good live, even excellent and they were definitely not lip synched or edited. But it is basic fact that YES her concert DVDs have always been edited in the sound department. So how can you possibly point to those as examples of how good her vocals are?

Well, I was impressed with Ayu vocals on TV only 3 times:
Haru yo, koi at Music Fair Desire with Akina Nakamori at Ayu Ready Pride at FNS - other than that, she usually is from "ok" (her good lives) to "please, die!", with some few good ones here and there and in the end of the day, her best vocal performances come from concerts (considering tv versions of CDLs)... So, I don't get why people are expecting Whitney Houston from Jennifer Lopez... |

![]() You win, baby! Yeah I thought SEASONS was amazing! I have that performance somewhere. I hope she sounds as amazing as that.... or should I not since it was probably a bad performance anyway... I'm really looking forward to see the transition from You were... to Rule! I guess in a way those songs could go together, it's very interesting and unpredictable ![]() |

![]() ANYWAYS, to bring this back on topic. I am wondering if the reasons she seems to be doing less performances on tv this year (and now doing a pre-recorded performance instead of a live one for CDTV) has anything to do with her being worried about her vocal ability. Maybe it has nothing to do with it, but its just a thought. Last edited by SunshineSlayer; 8th December 2009 at 12:47 AM. |
