There's no way around it, her voice is getting more and more hoarse as she goes on. It was at it's peak around the I Am... era. I mean, just look at lives of a song like "Dearest" and think about when the last time was that she performed something so beautifully. I don't dislike her new music, but Rainbow and Memorial Address just don't live up to I Am.... And, to be honest, I miss REAL ballads--strong, power ballads. I miss songs like Dearest, M, Still Alone and fast songs like Evolution, Unite, etc. Her voice just isn't suited for such things anymore.
And if you think that Ayu is perfect in every way--I love Ayu to death, but that doesn't mean that I can't criticize her, as many fans seem to think. If anything fans have more right to criticize, since they usually know what they're complaining about.
