She sang everything live, at least at my show, (which was easy to know because she kept making mistakes with lyrics/dropping syllables - she actually forgot an entire line of everywhere nowhere). One thing to note about Energize was that it was quieter than the other songs because she was using her "cute" voice (rather well actually), but I know it was live because she was out of breath by the end. Despite the minor mistakes, her voice was awesome for most of the concert, with the one really clear exception being My All. I was extremely impressed that she didn't scream Boys & Girls like she usually does.

Actually, I was so impressed with the stage and her performance that I'm trying to find a way to see one of the last Tokyo concerts in October! While Ayu may be hit or miss vocally within a song, overall, her singing is better than I've seen on the past few DVD releases (again, based on my show)
wow thanks very much! I'm looking forward to your report =)

I bet Ayu could release a pile of dog crap as an album and people would still say it sounded totally awesome.
I agree with waterballon that vocals are really subjective. Right from the start I know ayu is not one of those great live singers...but I enjoy watching her perform coz of the emotions she put into singing the songs...even if her singing was considered bad. Her singing technique might be questionable but I like her voice...the strong vocals she developed.

nope I wouldn't...if the song is bad, the song is bad...even if its ayu...my fav artist...I would still refuse to listen to it.
