Oh, those are what Rachael Ray has... but Ayu's talking voice is pretty similar to the way it's been for ages. Hm.
|
Aren't singing voices and talking voices slightly different though? Julie Andrews wasn't able to sing, but she can sure talk and it hasn't made such an impact on her speaking voice.
|
^ Yeah, if you are really singing, your voice will be at least slightly different compared to when just speaking, because of you using more air. However, nodules tend to affect your voice in general, and not just either the "singing voice" or "speaking voice".
About the nodules... It certainly IS possible, since it's not always obvious whenever one has them... However, I really don't think this is Ayumi's case. Her voice seems fine, except for very evident breathing problems, and not those that would come from the nodules. |
^ Honestly I'm kind of confused about your opinion of her voice. Sometimes you say its gotten worse and she needs to work on it and then other times you say its fine.
As for the nodules thing, hopefully that's not the case. They can be removed with surgery, but many people who have had the surgery never sound the same again after. |
^ It would be terrible if Ayu's voice actually were to get worse after surgery.

And yeah, removing nodules are very risky, due to the fact that your voice can be completely changed. |
Bill from TOKIO HOTEL had his removed and he sounds just the same as he always did. Its just a roll the dice thing. But I'd rather have ayu's voice change than ayu have no voice at all :(

Shirley Manson, the lead singer of the band Garbage, had developed cysts on her vocal chords in 2003, after about 7 years of doing back to back extensive world tours and recording sessions and she also had to get them removed. Her singing voice was notibly different than before, it was more nasally. I had considered Ayu might have the same problem, but neither of the two above singers' singing voices had changed when their cysts were discovered and I would have figured if she did, Ayu would have known by now. Isn't she known to be a bit of a health nut? Her singing voice does fit the profile though: Quote:

^ Yes, I believe you meant me when in actuality my post about the sources was correct. :P

Still think that the major (and maybe only) problem with her singing is related to her deafness, u need to hear urself properly in order to control ur voice well and adjust it to the instrumental... she has 50% of her hearing now, or even less
And I don't care about japanese general public, she owned it with Rule on Kouhaku, and if she kept singing like she did on the begining of her career, she would hurt her voice too... The way she sang from 1998 to 2001, 2002 wasn't correct tecnical-wise, and the problem of ignoring singing technique is that this can hurt ur vocal chords... |

It's interesting to note that the link on the second page to the Ayu story does not work anymore and is blank when clicked: http://japan.techinsight.jp/2009/12/...091231194.html However, it was available a little more than a week ago, so... hm. I wonder why that'd happen since many older stories from the "Entertainment is a vitamin! ♪" column are still up. Smells a little fishy. |

^Yes, I saw right through that post, hehe.

Also like njanjayrp said, credibility really isn't that important in this case as its not like they are reporting on facts about something - its an opinion piece. |

Also, kind of unrelated, but it's a bit strange that the original article no longer exists (at least on my end...) on Techinsight. Is it a blank page for you too? |
It seems Techinsight blog writer is like the America one? Uh, Peres Hilton? He is the one who got into a fight with Black Eyed Peas?
Anyways the writer is like that one, and of course I already mentioned how these are not CNN status type news, but they are still relevent, and would not appear upon Livedoor if they weren't. Livedoor is accessed by most young Japanese everyday, and can see many newses while checking their blogs... I dont know how else to describe.. ahaha. I think now, we talked and talked about it, but it just created to more fights about Ayumi Hamasaki, and I think only she knows the true answer... I wish we could know, but now I just wish she could get better soon, cause I was watching today the 1 LOVE performance from cdtv maybe 3 years ago? And it was soooo good.. Countdown Live one was good, but the CDTV live was sooo much better!!... I wanna hear all my favorite songs ago, without screaming... and without her have to lower keys or so... I wish one day she could sing A Song for XX in original key again... |

Perhaps the bad press/reactions will spark a change. :( |

Ignoring her voice, and focusing on this aspect of the articles... This kind of statement is very common... |
^ yeah that statement is common. (or variations of it) However, in legitimate press in Japan you actually don't see too much negative about Ayumi - these articles are one of the first times, at least from what I know. This has definitely gotten around (probably more than just these two articles) because when I asked one of my friends over there (that doesn't follow Ayu's career or news) to go to CDL to buy me concert goods this year he said something along the lines of "I heard her voice is very bad now." I asked where he heard that and he just said he had read it somewhere.
