Well it's not really about being bored. Ayu's voice is a serious issue if she's going to continue on as a singer.

^agree but I don't think is worsening, I just think is changing.
People don't like that it has changed so they label it as "worsening" so they start complaining. BUT is all a matter of opinion I guess. |

The only thing I see happening, which I expected, is that she has trouble hitting high notes now, though her current voice is beautiful to me.

I agree, I've just been wondering what the reason for the complaining is!

As for her breathing issues, I have no idea why she's been running out of breath so easily in some lives like during the Sunrise TV promotion, but at various times since then, she's done pretty well live. Specifically certain performances at CDL09-10 and a-nation '09. Ugh, she did so amazingly at a-nation '09 and no one ever brings it up because they're too busy harping on her bad vocals during -insert performance here-... it's just sad that when she does well, people are quick to say that she's not really singing or something, and then when she does terribly, people say that her vocals have gone down the tubes. I think people complained to no end starting with the CDL05-06 live version, and every year since then, people have been bagging on Ayu's vocals because they're so much more polished than in the live TV broadcast version, but isn't that obvious? It's live/raw! Of course the DVD is going to sound better!

I think that her vocals probably weren't changed all that much... but all we have to go on really from news clips is a small snippet of July 1st. News clip vs. TV version

From the video, I can barely hear something (which doesn't seem great). : / My point is not to say that 'she sounded great because it's obviously edited' no. I just wanted to say that you can't judge with edited lives. |

Well bad singing never hurt her career or stopped her from singing, she was actually most popular when her singing was at it's worst in 2000. Ayu is going to be just fine, I wouldn't be too concerned about it

Mmm, July 1st. Oh yeah, I just found an audio rip of Rule from the 8/23 concert. http://since1997.tistory.com/1884 There's a music player if you scroll down a bit and you have to use the drop down menu to listen to the "Hamasaki Ayumi.mp3" track. It sounds a little weird/too loud, but I think that's bound to happen since it's a fanrecording from the speakers at the concert. Quote:
The only other option would be to see her live, but some people say that the experience is different and vocals tend not to sound as "bad" when they're seen live...? I'm trying to see if anyone from AHS saw a-nation '09 live and said anything about her vocals, but I don't think anyone posted any reviews. If seeing her live or watching DVDs of her lives isn't good enough to judge whether her vocals are good enough, then just how are fans supposed to rate her voice? Just TV performances? Knowing Ayu's history with them, I'm not so sure that they're the best material to work off of. It's basically like forcing people into thinking that she's got terrible vocals! Or at least forcing them into thinking good vocals = edited and bad vocals = she sucks and doesn't practice. Even if she does well, a group of people always manage to shoot her down because ~the performance was edited~. Is she not allowed to sing well nowadays or something?

I think that a lot of people loved her vocals in 2000, or else she wouldn't have peaked then. So I think your argument is quite invalid. Some of her most technically challenging songs, as we've seen in this thread, are from that era.

And if people really did say, 'ooh, she sings sooo well!! ', it was only because they loved her so much, lol. We all know how it is, to exaggerate on even the weakest points of our favourite artists, just because we love them and see them as nearly perfect beings. |

^ Yeah, you make a good point there. We all get kinda biased and blind when we're total complete fans...including me, lol XD

Maybe they're so challenging because it's so hard to be able to sing them as bad as she did loljk. But I can't imagine anyone saying they love her vocals in both concert tour 2000's. Well, maybe you because you seem to think there is nothing wrong with the TV version of cdl 07-08.

I (like the other) don't want to force anyone to think that she has terrible vocals. IMO, it's almost the case actually. And you can't deny that she has troubles singing. If tomorow she put an awesome performance (and that I will be sure it's her real unedited voice) I will be the first to say "People who say Hamasaki isn't good at singing are morons" . EDIT: If you're looking for "the face on every billboard" in English, I have it. Last edited by hidekirby; 15th February 2010 at 12:24 AM. |

I think her voice improved but at the same time because of overused it became strained.
Try to watch her 2000- lives she sounded so pitchy then watch her lives around 2003 then watch her lives now you can definitely see improvement but at the same time you'll notice how strained her voice is and that's natural because she's been singing for a really long time. |

About CDL0708, of course her vocals aren't terrific, but for all that was going off on that concert they were decent. |
