Do you think Ayumi has a strong voice?
So lately my mother has shown a great interest in J-POP music lately, her favorties being Koda Kumi and Namie Amuro. She didn't like Ayu very much, mostly because I told her she doesn't have an R&B sound. But I was determined to turn her into a fan xD;... So, yesterday I brought all of my concert DVDs, featuring Koda Kumi, Namie Amuro and then Ayumi Hamasaki. She LOVES Koda Kumi, she thinks she has style and her songs make you want to dance. She thinks Namie Amuro is a great dancer and also thinks she outshines some American artists by dancing AND singing at the same time.
Then came Ayu, I first put on one of my favorite perfomances, CDL 2005-2006 Bold & Delicious with the Gospel Choir (my mom's a religious nut xD; ). My mom was stunned at how strong her voice was and wanted to watch more and more and more. I even put on some of Ayu's PVs, JEWEL, Startin', and momentum (cause I loved her coat xD; ). She fell in love with Ayu's voice. I was really surprised that Ayu turned out to be her favorite so quickly. So my question is, do you think Ayumi's voice is strong? Did it capture your attention at your first listen?

To be honest, it comes and goes. Sometimes she has an amazingly powerful voice (usually during rock song performances like is this LOVE? or really soulful songs like Pride), but other times she can't hold a note for very long. During 2005/2006 it was consistently strong, though.

 . I also think it sort of depends on the type of song, and the time period as well lol. For instance, back in the A Song for XX-LOVEppears period, Ayu's voice was screechy and she could hit high notes, but her voice wasn't very powerful. But from songs like RAINBOW all the way to Secret, Ayu had a very strong and deeper voice and it was especially noticeable in songs like Real me, free & easy, Hanabi, Hanabi ~episode II~, Ourselves, Memorial Address, GAME, INSPIRE, Pride, etc. That's my take on it at least.

 i agree with most. it comes and goes. during a concert, i believe it usually depends how late it is into it. toward the end, it gets a bit raspy and... off?  i feel she is then yelling into the microphone until she gets into the encore and sings her ballads.usually during her tv performances, she's on the ball perfectly.

While I don't think she's the best vocalist, I love how her voice improved over the years. Although I still think she needs to reign in her vibrato.
