yeah i love alan.
i also said that alan is on the top in my previous post on this thread

but now i think, if alan wants the crown she should experiment with more music styles. she's rather new, no?

mika, namie, ayu, kumi & utada already have proven themselves
-----------


namie amuro, my fav artist, i like her voice the most, her voice and music just hits me the right way. props to her as well for sounding better live than she does on her cd's (imo). and ofcourse being able to sing great while dancing. and i love that when she sings ballads, it really shows her real vocal ability

koda kumi, she has a very powerful voice. i haven't seen alot of live performances of her, but from what i saw, she's an amazing live performer as well.

ayumi, as much as i love ayu, her vocal ability is very limited. sometimes she surprises me though. like asfxx @ a-nation '08.

utada, i can totally see why she's one of japans best selling female artists, but her voice and music just isn't my thing.. i can't enjoy her songs

but as much as i love namie, mika nakashima is still the best vocalist in my book.
it's a shame she's so low on this poll.. you guys should check out her music. seriously >__>

Your post actually made me lol. Literally.

Namie Amuro actually is improving. She has a great voice live if you've heard her recently sing.

Also, she dances when she sings. And her dances are pretty hard

But ever since then - she's gone DOWNHILL. [/size][/b]

i would think her wail is whiny o_O owell
sakura modern had no wailing but was not boring
if that debut u were waiting for was VoE, how did she go downhill if she hasnt done much after that at all..

so true.. its so boring!

State your opinion less creatively and with better grammar, please. : )

I voted for Utada. Out of the others on this poll, I think I'd rank Kuu or Mika (even though I don't really listen to her) second and then Ayu.

I just noticed last time I forgot a person:
Nana Mizuki, she always sounds VERY near to the studio versions though shes dancing and has quite hard songs
alan...well, we never saw a concert of hers, but shes definitly top in single performances

[sanzo2011]

Mika ! i love her voice

[Kazeyomi]

I love Ayu, but the best vocalist is HIKKI.

[Minttulatte]

Koda Kumi. Her voice is just amazing in concerts and on albums. I just love the emotional ballads of hers and everything else. She just does it so much better. <3

[omably]

Definitely Utada Hikaru, her voice for me just pushes all the right buttons.

lol i forgot about that. i was just joking though, i was saying that in reply to a post saying ayu and kumi sounded like nasally men and utada had the best voice but i think it was deleted.

i still say kumi and namie!

[Polyrhythm]

I've already voted (Utada out of these choices) but I wouldve easily voted for alan if she was one of the choices. Her voice is epic. Utada's music is better IMO though.
