Who's the best vocalist?

Out of the great female singers which one is the best vocalist?
Means which one has the best voice live, has the best voice abilities etc.

Sorry Ayu, but for me Kuu and Mika Nakashima are much better vocalists!
Both are just fabolous live, can sing high notes as well as deep ones, both blow me away with their voices more often.

if you're talking about vocal aspect , definitely Mika

others include Hidemi Uematsu , ayaka & Ken Hirai in which both ayaka & Ken sound the same if not more superior live than what you hear on a CD

Ayu definately. her voice is being better day by day. other singers never improve their vocal esp hikki, her voice is just like that no improvment.
every single song has the same vocal.

but the best IMO isnt ayu. I think the best is Yuna ito, Ayaka and Hiro (member of SPEED)
esp Hiro, she really can sing very well while dancing.

i would say utada hikaru definitely. i think she was given one of the best voice, and she was able to sing a wide range of keys, be it very high or very low.

TAE YEON from Girls' Generation!!! She's Korean though. But she's wonderful. She's like... 20 years old? She voice is so husky and her vibrato sounds amazing. Unlike Ayu's, haha.



If it's only for Japanese vocalist, then it would be ayaka and BoA for me!

Ayu doesn't sing so well live. Her voice in general can be good or really bad. She used to be amazing around the RAINBOW era. Now it's just bad. Really bad. She can't hit her high notes and her vibrato are terrible. XD
I don't like the voices of Utada and Mika so much... But Mika can hit her high notes. Props to her.
Koda Kumi is great in performance and she often sounds exactly like her CD version but her voice in general is scratchy, not very pleasant.
Namie Amuro is wonderful on stage also. Her range is very limited but beautiful voice.

LOL. No Ayu is the worst. Namie's voice is really nice IMO.
She sounds terrific in "Wishing On The Same Star" and "ALL FOR YOU".

Koda Kumi.
I think she's at her absolute best when she sings live. There are some live versions of her songs that I think are better than the studio version. (ex: Heat @ Black Cherry Tour and girls @ Kingdom tour)

I think that Ayu still sounds good, but she's lost it a little.

And Namie Amuro sounds horrible live. She's got some great songs, but she can't sing live.

Now, if we were talking about male singers, then I would defiantly choose Shou from Alice Nine., Gackt, Ruki from the GazettE, and Park Yoochun from DBSK.

Hikki has one of the most unique voices. She can range from low to high and not sound bad at all. Nowadays though, there's been a bit of problem, but still! She is still my favorite vocalist.

Hikki has the best voice in my opinion. Her vocal range is amazing. And she doesn't need to change her voice, because she had a strong voice from her debut!
I think Namie has a good voice too, but sometimes I can't really tell because she uses a lot of harmony layers in her songs.
Also OLIVIA has an amazing voice!
And though Ayu is not the best, I love her voice. (I'm a bit confused as to why people are on an Ayu forum, if they don't like her voice hahaha)
I also think Riyu Kosaka has an amazing vocal range.

Namie is TERRIBLE and has no control. Utada is always out of breath but at least she has a nice timbre. Koda Kumi has terrible technique and sounds like a man all the time (in addition 2 looking like 1). Ayumi sounds bad a lot during lives, but at least she's got a nice tone.
Lol that video is 12 years old & as you can see she was also very emotional.
She has improved ALOT since then. I think Namie has an amazing voice~
And Utada is just boring as ever and just doesn't get better imo.

-

Sorry Ayu & Namie but Mika gets my vote. Her voice is amazing. I think i'm starting to become her fan as well xD

edit: oohhh i forgot about alan xD
she's the best vocalist imo!
But Mika is the best from those 5

If you think she sounds like a mess in that video that's fine.
I think her voice sounds fine in that video and I know i'm not the only one.

So saying "She really cannot sing" is complete bs lol
