alan BALLAD ~名もなき恋のうた~ vs Ayu BALLAD

Which do you prefer and why?

I chose alan because I felt hers brought forth more emotion than ayu's did for me. Her unique voice and style of singing also make the song. There is a certain urgency I feel in alan's that I don't in Ayumi's. It gave me a bit of nostalgia listening to it. Ayumi's BALLAD doesn't really strike me as a ballad, but its still a good song. Though both PVs are filled with longing, I felt a sense of loneliness and a deeper level of sadness in alan's. I did like the visuals in Ayu's PV though, shes so pretty! alan's lyrics sound more sincere and heartwrenching as well.

This is the PV to alan's BALLAD ~名もなき恋のうた~

Glad there's multiple choice for this XD

If just talking about PV, Ayu's totally pwn alan's >_>

But for the songs....I really do love the emotions in alan's song and like she said, it's a song of longing for an old love, but hope for the future
But for Ayu, I'm just so happy from her past songs....so I pick it out of happiness that she still have great ballads~

i pick both *O* but alan deserves to win!

they both sound pretty similar, when i hear the orchestra parts...
alan's BALLAD is more epic in a way..and I feel the nostalgia of someone dying in a movie
ayu's BALLAD is just so beautiful and i consider all of ayu's oriental stuff awesome~ *_*

alan's. Better compostiton, more epic, better vocals. I'd love to give the win to Ayu cause her PV was so damn goregous....and....alan's was crap (not to mention Ayu's gorgeous You were.../BALLAD covers compared to alan's $1.99 covers) ....but BALLAD ~名もなき恋のうた~ is simply just the better song and alan is simply the better singer.

EDIT: 3000th post! Although I didnt expect it to land in a poll thread @_@

ayumi's BALLAD

alan's a major snoozefest . Not my fave A-side of hers unfortunately . The covers & PV didn't help either D:

I'm going with ayu because I like the arrangement more and the parts where she "cries out" make me want to cry. I don't feel that with any alan songs. After listening to alan's BALLAD so many times I notice it just drags on and on and gets boring.

I'm sorry I had to pick both! Both are beautiful ballads that really stand out and I love them!

Yeah, I prefer Ayu's PV... sorta reminds me of forgiveness which I adored.
Ayu's past songs still have me hanging on waiting for something great to come out. Sigh.
I do like 'You were...' but its not something I'd put on repeat like her past ballads.

That's exactly what I felt listening to alan's BALLAD.
Well not exactly dying (lol) but of them being separated and her longing for that person.
But yeah, I prefer 'You were...' on this single.

^^That! But to the $1.99 covers... maybe her budget isn't that of Ayu's yet?
alan's vocals are better out of the two BALLADs IMO.

Yay! 3000 posts! Celebration! Glad I could be of service.

Ayu's BALLAD is boring to me in the way that Namie's The Meaning of Us is to me.
It reminds me too much of a Boys to Men song I've heard before and I despised them.


I wonder how BALLAD ~名もなき恋のうた~ would sound if it were sang by Ayumi...
