Namie is TERRIBLE and has no control. Utada is always out of breath but at least she has a nice timbre. Koda Kumi has terrible technique and sounds like a man all the time (in addition 2 looking like 1). Ayumi sounds bad a lot during lives, but at least she's got a nice tone.

Lol that video is 12 years old & as you can see she was also very emotional.
She has improved ALOT since then. I think Namie has an amazing voice~
And Utada is just boring as ever and just doesn't get better imo.

Sorry Ayu & Namie but Mika gets my vote. Her voice is amazing. I think i'm starting to become her fan as well xD

edit: oohhh i forgot about alan xD
she's the best vocalist imo!
But Mika is the best from those 5

[love in music]

She really cannot sing, and she's lucky she sings pop/R&B songs that don't require any sort of vocal talent.

omg i love that performance
oh well, that live is better than a lot of lives i've seen of Utada. but of course you have your opinion actually with a sing-off i'm sure Koda Kumi would beat Namie or Utada, her voice is a lot stronger than both of theirs.
