Woah woah no no la la?

[Picaflor 7/4]

Wanted to be a little creative with the title....anyways.
I noticed this with Ayumi's songs a while ago. She's the only artist I know that fills her songs with empty singing so often. Half of her songs are filled with "woah woah woah woah" "no no no no no no" and "lalalalala". Can she not come up with something else to put there or at least not sing during those parts? I feel like she ran out of lyrics or something. I don't mind if she does it for a few songs, but the fact that almost every album has a few of those songs where she just fills in space with empty singing kinda annoys me. Could someone enlighten me as to why she does this so frequently?

Maybe I'm just looking into this a little too much.

It depends on the song..
I think most of the time, these parts completely fit the song!! ^^)
Especially evolution, is this LOVE?, etc.

And I like that it shows that she can adlib~

OK I agree.. but please, don't tell me that:

ya ya ya ya ga ga ga ga da da da da wo wo wo wo

was good..it's horrible to me, it ruined the song

[love in music]

yeah it's probably just to fill up the song and make it catchier etc. those parts are usually my favorite parts of her songs
"wow yeah wow yeah" - evolution
"la la la la la la la la la la la" - MY ALL
"no no no" - Sparkle
"wow wow wow wow oh no no no no" - STEP you
"dala dala dala" - EnergizE

I love when Ayu came up with these words, so cute~

[Ayumi27]

I love her when she uses the "no, la, da, yeah, wow...", specially Who..., evolution, Bold & Delicious & UNITE!

LOL

i actually really like them, i mean for the start of moments, if she doesn't do anything, then it just feels like a long intro~

and 3 no's isn't that many anyways XD

[Delirium-Zer0]

I like them when they feel natural.... like where she's conveying emotion without words. Being that I listen mostly to music whose language I don't understand, these don't bother me at all

But when she sounds like she's forcing out the la la la's or whatever (like in newer versions of "Who..." - I felt the original's "lala"s and "aah"s were VERY effective, but every re-recording or live performance since 2001 has had them feel forced), well then I don't buy it and I don't like it.

As for when they're actual words like "yeah" and "no," I think they're fine. They're good confirmations & strong denials. They get kinda repetitive at times (like "Sparkle"'s "no no no"), but if the song surrounding them is really good, I overlook it very easily.

deli said the right things again!

[ownsarai]

I love those parts of her songs. There's nothing wrong with it, in my opinion.

[NintendoHTF1242]

Ad-libbing is used in most songs. It's just a nice way to show off a singers voice and make the song flow better.

[waterballoon]

No no no~ is the catchiest part of Sparkle IMO.

[Ayu_no_tenshi]

other artists, particularly american artists do it all the time....so why can't ayu???

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

YA YA YA GA GA GA DA DA DA WOAH WOAH WOAH♪

'nuff said xD.

[douggn]

I hear a lot of songs which do this, but for ayu, listen to the songs its in and it sound better with these parts than what it would be with word I think

[rookies]

I like the part in "Teens" when she sings:

"I want to be a sweet angel, la la la la..." (and then more la's after that)
