CDL 07-08 | Was it THAT bad?

Draggi · #1 2nd February 2008, 11:34 AM

So many fans said that this CDL was the worst ever...
but to be honest..
i really like it this time..
the older ones were like "okay i will sing" and this one was like "yep i'm doing my best"..
i hope you know what i mean..

so many people say ayu was totally off key..
but in my ears she was off key only at 2 or 3 parts..
the ones who were off key were peco and princess..
during surreal, specially at the end..
you can hear ayu singing a super cool note,
while peco and princess try to overtune this with their fraky voices..
okay...while untitled ~for her~ and MY ALL ayu was singing a bit off key , but she cried..

what do you people think?

I love the CDL 07-08! Ayu is so pretty!

I agree with you, all of her performances wasn't bad. I love when she sang Together When... Is so beautiful!

this CDL07-08 is the only CDL that i've seen it again and again..

I love CDL 07-08 too. Her vocals may not be as good as her other concerts but i love this one the most. And peco + princess ruined most of the songs.

I like it, even I didn't watch the whole concert, but it's good.
I like decision performance, eventhough the vocal is not good, but I like it. and untitled ~for her~ is AMAZING!! make me love that song more and more!

Personally I have poor hearing so I can't say I noticed it when she didn't sing so well. Anyway her CDL concerts rarely have polished vocals. Usually the focus is more on getting people to sing and dance along.

It was an okay concert when considering this is on a more modest budget than her Arena Tours. I think saying it's the worst is a bit melodramatic. It's definitely better than some older CDL. Personally I felt it was better than CDL06-07 but that might just be me.

I love CDL 07-08

It's true that her singing might have been more off than usual (we all know why). I've watched almost all concert TV versions too so I can compare. But that doesn't make the concert bad, I really enjoyed watching it and can't wait for the DVD.
It's the back-up singers that usually ruin stuff the most actually.

LOl..and everyone posting here enjoyed it haha..
I personally think that, it could have been better on the vocal side but it was not bad...and yea, Peco and Princess were realllllly bad in it...

i think they caused Ayu to go off probably...i mean, if they were louder than AYu, then it could have caused ayu to sing wrongly too rite?

I get what you mean. They tend to overpower her sometimes and their vocals are not very pleasant to the ear. She seriously should think of choosing two who complement with her vocals more smoothly.

the only thing i didn't like about 07-08 was that school girl costume thing she had on for Ladies Night. >_<

Draggi · #12 2nd February 2008, 02:09 PM

Yep that'S what i think too..
perhaps we get to know some new people in 2008??

rikku411 · #13 2nd February 2008, 02:12 PM

I really liked it actually... I've watched it over and over and though her vocals weren't SPECTACULAR, they were alright.

I really felt the energy of this concert and that was amazing! =]

It was good.

I thought SURREAL was horribly done. Like flat out horrible. The off-pitchness of it all shocked me. Worst performance of SURREAL till date.

I HATED how she was swarmed by her dancers during MY ALL. I couldn't see her, the cameras had difficulties capturing her. You know what, all her dancers should just GET LOST. It SERIOUSLY annoyed me. Singing-wise, it was a rather bad performance as well.

But other than those, the rest were ok! I liked the CDL, but not that much. I thought the stage design was still lacking, because it was way too geometric and lacked the UMPH factor that was present in her previous stage designs. I guess it's the lack of layering. I didn't like the fact that the stage bore similarities to CDL 2004-2005 with the two levels.

terra · #15 2nd February 2008, 02:42 PM

IMO, I find myself like it a bit

The costumes were plain...when I saw it with my sisters we were all comment the same "not surprising"--> but that's the way CDL costumes usually

The stage wasn't pleasing. If she tend to use it for her AT 2008 she should give it more transformation and modifications

Some of the choreography was average I think

Maybe that's all I love the way she sang some songs....

alternarist · #16 2nd February 2008, 02:50 PM

i like it and dislike it.

i like it is because there are new performances. Although the STEP you/Ladies Night part was copied and modified.

i dislike it is because the costumes are so boring (although i noe its a CDL). but CDL 0506 was budget and had better costumes. and also i dislike the stage set up. I prefered the steps stage. where different parts of the stage can be raised for different effects.

but i bet all of u must agree that something's wrong with ayu's vocal this time round. Hope that the DVD edits all the flaws out.

ExodusUK · #17 2nd February 2008, 02:53 PM

I loved it.

AyuGAME · #18 2nd February 2008, 03:11 PM

i like it..its really simple show..i think she sings well too, off key in some part but its normal..especially we all know that her left ear is deaf...so she really did a spectacular job

Not~Yet · #19 2nd February 2008, 03:15 PM

I think it was okay, not bad at all but not the best. t2m was great.

And I love i.e. decision and untitled ~for her~ but Ladies Night and Rainbow weren't so great
And about this Peco&Princess problem, they've been her backup singers for years now so I think Ayu should already know how's their singing, but yes it sounds at times like their mics are set louder than Ayu's and that's when Ayu can't really sing well over their voices.. >__>

AyUmIXx · #20 2nd February 2008, 03:24 PM

i guess that CDL is just a concert which is supposed to be like a big count down party together with fans so it doesn't need to be so serious in everything..
yea though there were some old CDLs which were done better than this one, but the most important thing is the enjoyment with Ayu to celebrate the new year, isn't it??

it's different from ARENA TOURs where Ayu needs more serious works because they need ARENA TOURs to promote the new album/new single, so yea... i think CDL has plain theme is no problem at all.

and about peco also princess, i don't think they sang off tune, but Ayu was off tune herself (and we know why is that~)
listened to decision, Ayu's voice was so off at the end, the "Yeahh"(s) part..where sounded not compatible with Peco and Princess' voices~
