You forgot to mention that they even sound worse in their studio recordings than Ayu does live. xD But both HAVE sung live before, Kyary sang live partly in her little own concert, but the vocals were awful and Perfume sang live before they were huge at least once. Which wasn't very good either, but it's a bit of an overstatement to say both ALWAYS use playback, just almost always lol

Ayumi is a rather strong pop vocalist by now. She doesn't ever rely on playback anymore, her vocals are diverse(just look at the amount of genres she covered and how dynamic she has become) and powerful, she has an above average vocal range...she isn't even close to being the best at anything, but to consider her a bad vocalist, especially considering how her songs are amongst the hardest in mainstream pop, just makes me question people's hearing and/or standards tbh. Compare her vocals to Rihanna, Britney, Katy, Kesha, Namie, most girlgroup singers...she is certainly above pop average.
