I think Ayu's voice is sort of hit and miss. I've seen some amazing performances from her, but also some that were pretty bad. I thought Arena Tour 03/04 was wonderful vocally, yet a lot of the live performances of CAROLS were pretty off key. I appreciate the minor imperfections because it reminds me that Ayu is not perfect, but when things get too far off key, it does bother me a little. That said, I still think she is an amazing live performer and I think the fact that she DOES sing live says a lot! As someone said before, it's kind of like "this is me, this is my voice." I respect that. I'd rather hear a few mistakes than know she is lipsynching.
