Ayu's lives sounds flat?
 

I really don't know much about the fundamentals of singing. But hasn't Ayu's live performances sound flat to you guys? Like she can't hit all the notes like the actual recording soundtrack?

I don't know. Recently she sings a lot lower. I can live with that. But now I feel like she can't even hit the notes right and it comes out all...funky. While in the past her vibrato was soft, now it's really hard and a bit over exaggerated. (is that how a vibrato suppose to sound???) I can't appreciate much of her lives anymore. :( I love her recordings but find that I can't listen to her lives, which is really sad.

Anyone else feel the same? Maybe just me...

Still can't wait for the upcoming album tho!

maybe she's just too emotional?
yea, i also felt that her lives recently for Together When... on the high notes, she sounded off key..but quite ok..
and i still think her vibra is still OK..

not every live is perfect, you know -.-;


though i don't think her vibratos should be that loud. live or recording.

Perhaps she has developed 2 different singing styles?

Together When at Music Station was the worst! I couldn't even finish watching the live because of how flat the song became. Maybe her earphones weren't loud enough or something because I felt that she had to strain to hit those high notes (even though they aren't even really that high).

Ayu's live performance are always crappy unless they're released on DVD by avex so they have time to be altered.

Maybe her new singing style. Like her new voice lol (tlakin' 2 myself).

Go see her live for real, before you say that. :irked:irked:irked:irked:irked:irked

indeed. ASIA TOUR was flawless when i saw her. was pretty amazed. perhaps the song made so emo that she cant sing properly.

Pretty much. I liked most of her performances and they sounded pretty close to the studio version. At least she didn't lipsynch.

I love when she does bold and delicious live!
She really doesnt even have to sing that song!

as long as she doesn't lip sync, i'm completely fine with how she is live.
like someone previously said, not every live is perfect.
imagine having to perform the same [emotional] song over and over and over again.
don't you think it'd lose it's emotion and sound sometimes? ^^

Agreed. :yes

I'd rather have a crappy live performance than a lip synched one. Some of her performances are better than others, but I never thought she was crappy.

i always satisfied with everything that ayu have done..so no complaint

hm I think her TW... lives is not bad really, just a tiny bit here there in a few perf.s, not all either,
a HUGE improvement compared to JEWEL lives imo~ XD

I think her TW... are probably her best lives this year XD

Except for some lives I don't ayu ayu had really horrible singing lives.
The latest Together When... TV perfromance-s are really amazing vocal-wise.

Ayu does really differently in different lives. She sometimes does really well, but other times, her voice may be more strained than usual. I thought some of her Together When... performances were better than the others. But that's the way Ayu has always been. ^__^

Together When is a really hard song to sing, Ayu performed it really well in my opinion. I'm sure if you got someone like -insert band with voice altered in the studio so much it's unreal here- and they would struggle really hard, Ayu is a really talented singer and that talent is real.

Yeah, lately she sounds like she's forcing it. :(

^Better thsn just stand there and sing bad ^-^

She's not really forcing it though she just sings emotionally...
