I was just watching the news about her australian tour and oh my god... she really cannot sing! which is really upsetting i believe.
here is one of her live performances in korea, singing her classic "I Will Always Love You"

watching how this great artist that once had one of the best vocals ive ever heard makes me think about ayu nowadays... we all know that ayu never had that great vocals from the start, but we surely know how she's doing lately

Also, i dont wanna compare cause both of them have different life stories, whitney with her drug addiction problems, and ayu of course with her hearing problems + all the touring she's done non-stop for 11 years and still counting.
Does ayu need to stop and have a break so she can rest her vocal cords or what? i mean i dont want her to end up coughing all way through her concerts like whitney does now.
what do you guys think about this? any more info that you would like to add is always welcome
