I thought it also sounded pretty off-tune in parts of Days. Also Sparkle seems to - at the very least - have a very strong backing track going on. Evolution sounded quite a bit better than usual though.

That is true. I mentioned this before but, none of the artists in the A-Nation broadcast sounded even remotely like what they did in the tv news clips. It's obvious that Avex did their damndest to get everyone sounding as good as possible - afterall, A-Nation is a promotional tool for their company so they want everyone to sound as good as they can.

I actually love~ her lower voice. It's why I prefer her recent singing to the beginning of her career. Even if she screams every note for the rest of her career, it's still better than the squeaking of A Song for XX, lol. >.>'

But I feel that her lower voice was way, way stronger in 03-05. Her vocals were pure love for me in that period.

Kidding. I dont particularly think her voice is that bad and its certainly gotten better since 2008.
theres no doubting her TV lives (like for Music Station and such) are better than her arena tours, because there isnt as much noise and she isnt singing song after song. |
Actually I've thought her tv lives have mostly been terrible lately. It seems she actually sings better in her tours overall - maybe because she has more time to get her voice warmed up to singing whereas with tv performances its just a one shot type of thing.
As for the vocal lessons thing - yes.
For artists at her level, I'm sure teachers teach with the loud volume of concerts in mind. Heck even heavy metal singers often take vocal lessons and their environment is sonically louder than Ayu's is usually. There are a number of examples of singers who have hearing problems (usually rock singers) that have found ways to get around it. Even Brian Wilson, the main singer of the Beach Boys was completely deaf in one ear yet learned to sing in tune nearly all of the time. It's definitely not something that is impossible. It at least appears to me that she simply hasn't taken the time out to do it or if she has, she isn't following what the teacher says or she needs a new one.
