Actually, I have to agree with Identity on this one. Just, she was so popular because she was this hot new thing, and then that was when her music went from really catchy and cool to pretty much amazing, hah. She was starting to take on a different image as the cute fashion queen Ayu. It was the start of the "Empress" and her peak. I believe her vocals were terrible and everybody realised that, but because she had so many others things going for her at the time, people didn't really care.
And if people really did say, 'ooh, she sings sooo well!!

', it was only because they loved her so much, lol. We all know how it is, to exaggerate on even the weakest points of our favourite artists, just because we love them and see them as nearly perfect beings.
