This isn't necessarily true. For one thing, Ayu has some of the greatest crescendos I've ever heard, and she also puts the perfect amount of emotion into her singing. These two things are great to look at. And besides, a good singer (over time, of course) can sort out which techniques are right or wrong, and she can use a bad singer to better herself, even. Being a great singer is all about constant practice and experimenting. And so for this reason, you shouldn't just look at the best of the best, but also the average or even the terrible, if only to see what not to do, and to try and figure out exactly what it is that makes that person not as talented as others. For example, after studying singers, myself, I can actually tell exactly what it is that Ayu does wrong sometimes. And also what she does right. I can tell reasons why her voice may be deteriorating, and also why so many people are somehow drawn to her singing. But I would have never been able to tell all these things if I only looked at and listened to the greatest of singers.
