Yes, it was already said actually (look at my list)
But thanks for expressing your frustration. I truly share your pain.
(although I cannot get rid of the old image of ayu in my head, and I still follow her because I have the hope to see her creative side again)

This one!

ayu have same dancers, doing the same old choreography, crying over the same songs, making the same fake phony sad faces, singing the same damn set list that she has sang at almost every concert for the last 10 years.

From what I've read so far, many people expressed their same feeling.
But this is not an isolated "gaijin" feeling. I believe I've seen this situation happening at 2ch as well (majide source). The sensation that Jpop is dead, and all what is left was from the 90's - 2000's era (omg, I feel old right now
).
