i think it is how u define strong voice that matters. I think she definitely have a really special voice and sometimes really voniable as well...

Why the frick is Britney Spears above Celine Dion? O_O

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.

Just to let you know, that list was made by some random fan and is not official at all.. I mean they even listed "Enka" [a genre] as a singer and had tons of random spelling mistakes in the whole list [which can be seen in the spoiler tag]~

Spoiler:

Since when did the cheerleader from Heroes have an amazing voice? Wtf?

aqua_crystal · #23 6th August 2008, 02:17 AM

^^Ugh!! No wonder! Ashlee Tisdale at No.1?? Nooooo way!!!

there is a god O_O

se7entheaven · #25 6th August 2008, 02:55 AM

definitely
she is unique
just like kuu chan n namie, utada,
but even sometimes ayu can sing off-key
I think she's one of the best, I mean, there are few Japanese singers who can do vibrato

♥ you! · #26 6th August 2008, 03:35 AM

Well I guess Ayu has a good voice, it isn't weak but I wouldn't say its strong either.

panda87 · #27 6th August 2008, 06:47 AM

she has a strong voice. i mean, who can reach the notes she has reached in "connected"? that "sude ni" part. like hoooooooly shiiiiiieeet. that's high. she really knows how to sing and pierce your heart. no one else did that to me but her. it's so addicting and powerful, so full of emotion and STRENGTH.

That's really not a high note, though; it's only an E5. It just sounds high because Ayu can barely squeak it out. It's probably the highest note in Ayu's range, but not a high note. She's an alto, like most female pop singers, and it's around Eb5 where the alto range just starts to get uncomfortable. A true alto can still extend a few pitches higher, though, which actually makes that strained note in "Connected" a little disappointing, if anything.

I always thought those notes at the end of Kanariya were rather high xD;... much higher than the notes on connected lol

hiroshi_ben · #30 6th August 2008, 09:59 AM

her voice doesnt really amaze me the most...but sometimes it does makes me get emotional with the songs

AyuHamasaki01 · #31 6th August 2008, 10:02 AM

Yes, I think she has a very very strong voice.

prussian blue · #32 6th August 2008, 10:14 AM

i think her voice is strong enough for an profesional artist. but somehow, her vibrato is too over for me (in live)

happiholic★ · #33 6th August 2008, 10:22 AM

IMO, I don't think that "strong", is the right term to describe it. I'd say that Ayu's voice is more delicate and beautiful. Sometimes it comes out as a squeek, but now that she has improved and gained more control of it, so there is less... squeek.

HanabiChick · #34 6th August 2008, 10:25 AM

I don't know if she has one of the strongest voices, but it was strong enough to catch my attention the first time I heard it, enough to want me to listen to her more.

**Yoake** · #35 6th August 2008, 10:55 AM

yes. Ayu has a strong voice. It charm everyone who listen to her song.

ayu_fantasy · #36 6th August 2008, 04:15 PM

I would say yes for some songs... No for some bah...

But i would say she has a unique and beautiful voice..

.... Somehow a mild similarity to koda kumi..

They're actually not that much higher. The note that is sustained and repeated most in that section of kanariyais an Eb5, which is actually a half-step lower than the highest note in Connected. She then quickly pops up to an F5, which is only a half-step higher than the note in Connected. The E5 in Connected and the F5 in kanariya are both very quick, though, and approached step-wise from below, which makes them easier to sing. If she suddenly belted out an F5 from nothing and sustained it for a measure or two, then it would be fair to say that Ayu has a strong range for an Alto.

haikudasai · #38 6th August 2008, 06:24 PM

I think she has an average professional singer voice.

There are times that you can tell she's just yelling with vibrato though.

Like someone said previous to this: it comes and goes.

ayumi.hamasaki.gulity.08 · #39 6th August 2008, 06:38 PM

very very very very strong voice not like it was when she was younger ( high-pitched )
Kasumi

XD

emi♡ · #40 6th August 2008, 08:00 PM

When I think of people with strong voices, I think of, like Whitney Houston, or Aretha Frankiln, maybe Celine Dion, she has a unique voice...

Ayu for me, has a voice all her own. It can be strong, or soft. She has a powerful voice when she needs to, but...sometimes, it doesn't last.

I'm still kind of, on the wall on whether or not I think her voice is more powerful now than it was...I mean, everything's a lot lower now and it's harder to hit some of those old notes...but she's still awesome...It's difficult to say lol...
