Ayu VS Namie VS Koda Ballad Battle 2011
 

beloved>Love Story>>>>>>>Ai wo Tomenaide

Love Story is the best song, though I don't like it's PV so much...

love story

Ai wo Tomenaide, I like beloved and Love Story but neither of them are that memorable for me

Love Love Story!

All garbage. Terrible year for ballads - how boring.

lol I was gonna say...I don't remember any of them :laugh

I totally forgot beloved existed too.

idk Ai wo tomato.

beloved

beloved.

LS & Ai something were so boring that I can't remember the melody.

I never liked Kuu's ballads, I just can't listen to them, I find her ballads always boring.
Before her comeback I liked Namie's ballads, but since then I find her ballads even more boring then Kuu's.
So beloved is the only one I listen to and which I enjoy.

I don't like any of these. I haven't listened to Namie's, but beloved and ai wo tomenaide are as boring and generic as Ayu and Kuu ballads get.

I guess I'll vote for ai wo tomenaide. :shrug

beloved

:hi5

:hi5

I agree on all accounts. All three of them are terrible, bland, and uninspiring. :innocent

Love Story is really nice :yes

I don't like Namie singing ballad, and beloved wasn't that great. I pick Ai wo Tomenaide, but it's not a great ballad neither, all of them are kinda generic.

Love Story! :heart beautiful lyrics :heart

beloved is alright. ai wo tomenaide is too boring to me XD

Close thing all ballads are okay but nothing more 2011....

Ai wo tomenaide(strongest one)>Love Story>beloved

Love Story >>>> AWT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BELOVED

Namie Amuro - Love Story

Because it makes me cry. I love Ai wo tomenaide and like a lot of beloved but there's just something more charming about Namie's song. :)

This.

it is really hard to pick between Love Story and beloved... they both have their strong points and I think Love story as a bit more power in the BG music...

AW! I dont know which one to pick so i cant vote...
My love for Ayu is telling me to pick her, but my bubbling love for Namie is starting to lean that way.. they are both such good ballads!
VERY Namie and Ayu!

beloved. I hate both ballad from Namie and Kuu

I've just watched Love Story PV, a beautiful PV and gentle song. Amurosan likes to create PV with beautiful outside scenes, ne :D
Ayuchan's beloved is great. The first time I heard the preview of this song, it made me want to cry and I still love this song to know.
But I voted for Kuuchan - Ai wo tomenaide. Why? I love it in the first time I heard the preview of the song and love it more when I wathced the preview of PV. Everything belong to this song make me crazy. I love this music style - ballad most. And with me a fantastic ballad song is a sad song, a song that make me feel the same as character's feel in the song (even I don't understand much Japanese) and make me feel hurt, want to to everything that can prevent/get back my love. And Ai wo tomenaide plus Kuuchan's voice are successful to to all what I want :D Kuuchan forced to me to wait in a long time to get a new best hit of my life like hands or Yume no uta. Thank you Kuuchan :x

Ai wo Tomenaide (Koda Kumi)

Namie wins it for me. I do like all three songs fairly equally, but beloved and Ai wo Tomenaide are very typical of their artist's styles. Meanwhile, I usually fail to latch onto Namie's ballads - with Love Story it's different.

I chose Ai wo Tomenaide, but beloved is a really close runner up. I've only heard maybe 30 seconds of Love Story so I can't really comment on it.

beloved

beloved, then Ai wo Tomenaide and then Love Story... because well, Love Story was kind of ****** if I'm being honest... totally boring and kind of forgettable.

I really liked beloved when I first heard it, although now when I listen, it's just kind of OK. It's not even anywhere near her best ballad but manages to be better than these other two.

Ai wo Tomenaide was just so blahhhhhhh, maybe the chorus redeems it a little but other than that it's pretty crap for a Kuu ballad. I feel like it was trying to hard to be like other Kuu ballads and failing miserably.

woot just broke the tie :)

Snoozefest. Ai wo Tomenaide just because it kept me awake longer than the other 2.

Ai wo Tomenaide (Koda Kumi), beloved is pretty good too.

Love story

愛を止めないで

All are quite boring, but beloved is the least boring in my opinion!

Love Story

beloved
Just because I can stand Ai wo tomenaide doesn't mean I love it
And love story is meh

beloved of course.

Love Story.

I totally love Ai wo tomenaide.
I actually don't know why, maybe cause it sounds mature, but it's one of my favourite ballads.
Can't stand beloved, Ayu has so much better ones, and I also don't care for Love Story.

Hah, broke the tie :D

I never liked Kuu because of her voice, so it's a no for her.
Namie has two ballads I like: Baby Don't Cry and Tempest, rest ar crappycrap
Ayu-chan, well... I never liked the song that much, but after seeing her perform it in PoM, I started liking it a little more. However, I still skip it on my playlist xD

So beloved is least terrible of the three evils ;)

100% agree with everyone who said this. If I had to vote though, I'd say beloved, even though I've probably heard it <5 times.
