I'm not really convinced that most Japanese people would have been positive about her voice even if she was at her 'best' since her voice is so different nowadays.

Just an FYI, I was talking about that video only and not surprisingly, it was linked on 2ch along with articles that said she sucks at singing now as well as a ton of gossip blogs saying the exact same thing. The 2ch thread also has 400+ replies... I probably don't have to read them to know what they say. Something tells me most people who aren't fans and are just casual music listeners remember her voice as what it was in 2000/2001 and probably don't know that it's veeerryyyy different in the present (not that they care, really).
