People saying she sounding horrible makes me think about my opinion on her early years vocals. One of the reasons I disliked UNITE! so much back then is how high-pitched and out of her reach the vocals are. However, my perception changed over the years and now I'm in peace with Ayu's 2000/2001 vocals (even it's not my favorite period of her voice).
When she released GUILTY, a lot of old fans hated her direction, 'cause her vocals were so much deeper and she didn't reach the same notes Ayu from the past did. There's obviously the deafness factor to consider, but even way before it was a question we had the same discussions over how she sounds.
Other thing we have to pay attention is she is almost a voice actor, she makes her voice changes on purpose to fit the "character" of the song better. Even with the "potato voice" going on, her voice in "Dreamed a Dream", "Haru yo, Koi" and "23rd Monster" sound so much different and, after 23 years from her debut, we should get used to it lol
