[NEWS] Eason Chan critcises Ayu of Lip-synching

[njanjayrp]

I guess, this was just made to be a big deal, and it really isn't, i doubt she lyp-sinced, as we all know that Ayu doesn't care if she makes mistakes or goes off key, as we've seen her do it a bunch of times, it's part of her job, and I think that people appriciate the honesty, we've all seen her mess up the lyrics to Trauma, indepandant, Voyage, audiance . . . and they even put some of those on DVDs, sooo the way I see it, she doesn't need to "prove" a thing to anyone, and only a shallow mind would be dissing her cuz of what someone who very well slept during the concert said, or those grass XD idiots who weren't even there. I mean stating that someone can't sing, just like that...it's mean XD

[Namie]

have ayu ever lip-synch?

[njanjayrp]

well, the only concerts I haven't seen are the Concert tour, and 2 live countdowns.As far as I can tell, the only one in which I think she lyp-sinced was the LIVE COUNTDOWN 01-02, or it was "re-mastered" during the DVD production, but something wasn't right^^.As for the others, I'm 99% sure she didnt' do it, I mean u can very well hear Peco messing up Ayu's voice at times, but as far as I know Ayu doesn't need to lyp-sinc ^^

Once but that is the only ONE. In 2000, she lip-synched in ONE live performance of SEASONS.

[FeNgZhEnG]

wow page 12 now.. really lots of flaming... lol~

imo.. eason doesnt hears ayu music and is a ignorant guy making a stupid comment.. he shdnt even attend the concert.. no respect for ayu at all.. grasshoppers are a group of the 80s.. go back to the cave u belongs..

[bluegie]

LOL. This thread is even more popular compared to the A BEST 2 sales thread somehow.. (12 pages in 2 days... pretty amazing)

[summersnow]

Now it's already 2007. Ayu's vocal has being improving years by years. She always seeks perfection for her live concerts. So she wouldn't choose to lip-synch even if it's very hard to sing, dance and breathe at the same time. All the concerts in all these years prove that she has mastered her live vocal well.

I really don't like what Grasshopper had added. They were not present in the concert and how they knew for sure that Ayu lip-synched.

It should be re-mastered, just like A Song is born in stadium tour while DVD version being different from TV version.

If ayu really like to lip-synch, her voice in COUNTDOWN 02-03 wouldn't sound that "bad". At that live, approaching the end of the show, she almost entirely lost her voice. She was off-key in almost every song and her sound quality was EXTREMELY bad.

I'm surprised no moderator has taken care of this thread. I know that he insulted Ayu, but this thread has gone far too much that everyone is flaming at Eason.

[hiroshi_ben]

yea the GRASSHOPPERS are a bunch of old and untalented pp...they should go attend some trainings in JaPan...and if they really go japan for training lessons...i bet lots of japanese artists will be laughing at them instead...XD

[ayu_fan929]

You people do realize that print media can be manipulative?

And I checked Eason's rranking in Taiwan and none of his albums made the top 20. ROFL. On the other hand, Ayu's had topped the charts with all her albums.

1. Exactly how many times larger is Japan's population compared to Hong Kong's population? (126 million / 7 million = 18 times) So it would be more like 720k vs. 650k. Plus, you're comparing a live and a studio album.

2. His last Mandarin album was released in 2005 so unless you had access to that data...and the last time I checked, he was the 2nd HK artist that won Most Popular Male in Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards (Chinese Grammys)

Yes. However, even BoA's concerts aren't 100% live. (They're like ~90%?)

[ayumisrael]

I think that they just were jelous at ayu's singing abilities.
The last thing ayu would do in her concerts is lip-sync, ayu's voice while singing live is amazing.

^Keishi - I was really sad reading your comment just saying not to flame him.
Well it's right but I'm sure that if he would critisize kumi you wouldn't take it too lightly...

People shouldn't flame him but he lied about ayu in public (he said a false thing so factually he lied) he can't just say "in my opinion she lip-synched" 'cause it's a fact she didn't.
He deserve to be bashed for what he said.

[M.A.X.]

Well, well, in my mind ayumi sing in playback on some songs in her last concerts but it's my opinion so Eason's declarations could be true for me...

Here the song where ayu sing in playback in her concert:

Countdown live 2001-2002- evolution

Arena tour 2002- Free & Easy
- evolution
- AUDIENCE
- UNITE!
- independent

Stadium tour 2002- UNITE!
- Fly high
- evolution
- AUDIENCE

Countdown live 2002-2003- evolution
- UNITE!

Arena tour 2003-2004- ANGEL'S SONG
- Fly high
- evolution
- Greatful days
- UNITE!
- Moments

Countdown live 2004-2005- M
- evolution
- AUDIENCE
- independent

Arena tour 2005- Happy ending
- my name's women (maybe??)
- carols

countdown live 2005-2006- fairyland
- theme of a-nation '03

Arena tour 2006- STEP you
- ladies night
- alterna (i'm not sure)
- rainy day (i'm not sure)
- UNITE!

Countdown live 2006-2007- ourselves
- fly high
- beautiful fighters
- evolution

Before the countdown live 2001-2002, ayumi didn't use playback but now she use it, the songs in playback are very different. I don't lie ok, it's my opinion.

[Ayumi~moments]

Ayu lip syncing? And he slept through most of the concert peh Chinese singers do have wiered dreams when they sleep now don't they. Music is Ayu's life so why on Earth would she lip sync? Guess he wanted so media attention but that in no way shape orform is the way to go about it AT ALL. Its so rude and innapropriate.

You should first hear those songs by earphones. Everything will then end up differently.

[njanjayrp]

LOL Beautiful Fighters wasn't lip synced, as you could clearly hear the parts when Ayu was out of breath, and the fact that Moments, CAROLS and rainy day sounded perfect doesn't mean they were l-sed.Consider the fact that she was JUST standing and doing nothing else but singing.

And yeah in 02-03 her voice was pretty bad, though I did like Heartplace^^.As for BoA's concerts, all the 3 arena tours and the LIVE seemed very much LIVE, though I was suspicious about Midnight Parade performance, but nothing is impossible, I mean has anyone watched any of Hitomi's CROSSOVER concerts, she sounds better than in the albums, and CROSSOVER lives ARE NOT lip-synced^^

Well, I've seen you taking some mean shots at people who insulted Kuu before.

Anyway I don't think you guys need to go so far as to curse him to death.. that's pretty serious.

lol ^^ I know what I say, many friends think like me but many many fans doesn't believe us, it's ok. I would like Ayumi say a declaration about declarations but she will not. And if she will, she will confirm that sometimes she use playback but I doubt !

That's misleading, since singers from HK have just as much appeal there as in Taiwan, Singapore, and the mainland. Unless they barred his CD from being sold outside the city, which i doubt.

Does that mean you guys understand what it feels when someone just insult your favorite artist?
