Ayu, Koda, Namie

[Cherry Dynamite]

First off I'm not bashing at any of them.
I just like to know what you think.

Anyways here's the Poll :O

Who do you think have the best live singing voice (Right Now)?

Ayumi Hamasaki
Koda Kumi
Namie Amuro

Spoiler:

Oh btw I didn't put Utada Hikaru here because I don't like her! (I'm Pretty biased I know)

Another thing as much as possible give a reason why you pick her.
----------------------------------------

Anyways mine will be Koda Kumi's
Why? Because she can sing almost identical to the recorded one.
Although sometimes she sucks like any artist.

Here's what I think about the other 2
I think Ayu have a great voice there's no doubt about that but I do think she needs to rest because her voice sounds so strained.
Namie's voice is cool but she's not that good live I prefer listening to her on her CDs but I do think she have a pretty voice.

[jiarongisme]

I picked Kuu. Because I feel that she is pretty cautious of her techniques when she sings live, though it's of a lower register at times.

[zyoeru]

It's definitely Namie, she has the better voice.

[y_nathz]

I picked Namie *gomen ne Ayu *
Well she's just sounded better than the others.. But I do love three of them

[happiholic★]

Kumi Kuu! She is almost identical when she is live. She always sounds amazing! Sorry, Ayu!

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

koda kumi of course

she is great live. better than namie and ayumi for sure

[Meat Pao]

Kumi

[love in music]

Hmm, I really don't know. What can I judge for Namie lately? I don't think she had any recent lives. Wouldn't the most recent be BEST FICTION tour? But I guess her voice in BFT is better than Kuu and Ayu's recent live vocal performances. So I'll go with her. Also, Namie has the ability to still sing well when she's dancing a lot.. something that Kuu and Ayu can't do. I've always admired her for that.

[Miduhyo]

I went for Namie. She sings so much live and a lot of dancing to go with it, even if its not that energetic just doing easy moves like that are hard to do while singing live. Also... well we've all noticed that Ayu's vocals have been going a little haywire right now. Though I usually LOVE her lives. I do!!!

Koda has the tendancy to either WAAAAAY over sing something (usually when she sings You...) or she goes a too low compared to her recording (which there is nothing wrong with that its just not what I'm used to.). But Namie can go on forever and a day and still (maybe not the greatest voice ever) but a great technique to mix dance and sing together. That takes a lot of energy.

[Ayumi27]

I'm between Ayumi and Namie... Though Namie deserves some extra recognition, since she dances way more than any of the other two, and it's hard to keep the voice while doing it.

[kirei_ayumi]

kuu, sorry ayu

[MissElin_]

How much I love Ayu, it really is Namie who carries the voice. I'm always sooo amazed how Namie can dance so so so much and still have a great voice. Its really rare. Kuu also tend to do the "american overdo thingy" when she kind of destroys the songs instead of just singing them greatly.
I also feel very safe when I listen to Namie. I never have to worry if she is gonna kill the note or not. ^__^

[sanzo2011]

I think Namie ^~! Ayu's voice 's getting annoying recently ~~! if u asked me in 2003 -> 2006 ,i'd say Ayu .

[aqua_crystal]

Uhm, I'd have to Namie.
Koda sounds like she's choking when sings live and Ayu doesn't sound that good anymore, yet Namie nailed almost every song in her BEST FICTION DVD.

[TITANIC]

of course Koda Kumi. Ayu sounds very bad lately. I dont liker her voice anymore.

Namie is the worst Live singer but a great dancer. I dont want to hear her voice during live but I want to see her dance. I annoyed by her voice in BFT

You're quite rude actually. Read the title first before posting something stupid and uncalled for.
The poll said who's the BEST singer in the 3 singers listed there.

[Andrenekoi]

^And I said none of them is all that good voice-wise, what's the big problem? I would be rude if I said this poll is stupid cuz there are already some polls asking who is the best vocalist among those (and even more) singers on this forum...

[Lee^ChaN]

Kumi. She got technique and emotion (especially during ballad)
when she sings lower than the recorded music, means that she really knows that she won't be able to reach the notes.

Ayu never had a good voice from the beginning (no offense), but i love how she puts emotion while singing.

For Namie, similar to Ayu & i think her voice is flat. I can't feel any emotion when she sings. But she's really a GREAT dancer.
