I'm aware some people still really love her voice as it is now, and these lives, but I just can't.
I love her to death, and her new songs have been great, vocals and all, but listening to her on those TV lives is just painful. It's not so much "she sounds bad" as it is hearing her struggle (or at least, that's what it sounds like). It's no surprise to me that she does so few TV performances these days.
God, I am dreading Kouhaku. It's clear she is doing her the very best she can in those performances, trying to control her voice and get the song out, but it just seems like a battle. Although she was never known for her vocal prowess, she was always an effective singer, but something is cutting into that.
My heart is breaking because, what do you do as a singer when your voice is no longer reliable?
