I will DEFINITELY agree with you guys on this. But this is why I liked her on twitter lol.

I love her tour documentaries when we get a chance to see her rehearsing with the band - not dancing, just singing and moving & emoting naturally. To me that's what ayu live should be like.

She was never effortlessly cool, she was always kinda awkward... but like, that awkwardness MADE her cool. She OWNED the awkwardness, she was just being herself, and that made her cool. Now she's so scared of the awkwardness, desperately trying to cover it up. Like during the MY STORY tour when she slipped & fell doing the wave, and a BUNCH of stuff she mentioned during the MC "kore kikitai" segments, I mean... that stuff was so embarrassing and cute, but I couldn't imagine her just owning that stuff and freely sharing it now.
