Well if she'd dance more, she'd propably sing even worse... It takes a lot to sing and dance at the same time... She would have to do the singing part playback..

Britney sings always playback. Why? Because she can't sing!

Ayu has proved us that she can sing with some great shows where she sings LIVE! And the bad LIVE shows tell us that she's just a human... But she should always rest well before a live gig. Her voice needs it. You should stress your voice too much, ya know.

That, i don't agree. She may not have a great voice and she doesn't sound like Whitney Houston, but yes, she CAN sing. She just doesn't have the powerful type of voice. Everybody can sing, but not everybody have beautiful voices.

Namie sings and dances at her concerts its I think its difficult to do both but she tries just like ayu tries her best at concerts.

She may not be the best singer, but she's a great performer

ayu does lip-sync. a lot of times when she has to dance, she lip-syncs. a lot of artists do that. i usually skip those performances haha. but her real LIVE singing is full of emotions indeed. she's one of the BEST performers. i love her stage presence!

there are singers who sing better or have better singing skills than ayu, but they aren't necessarily great performers. for example, i love misia's singing. but... her concerts are oftentimes hard to watch. she just doesn't have the stage presence. i actually have a few of her concert dvds, and i have to say that she is a really amazing singer. but i've never wanted to keep watching them... on the other hand, i watch ayu's performances almost everyday.

Well, there's more to performing than singing. You have to know how to handle the crowd, Ayumi clearly demonstrates her ability to do so. Her vocals aren't bad live. I like her better live because of the edited instrumentations and the emotion that goes into her performance. I definately think she's a great performer.

I agree with what someone said about her performances being a "hit or miss." That's pretty accurate. She either sings great, or sings badly. Like touchedstar said, her performances of CAROLS weren't that good... but if I recall, I think at her Countdown 2004-2005 when she performed it, it was a REALLY good performance. She hit the high notes and very well.

I've noticed that Namie is an excellent singer and dancer. Always on key and everything. But... she doesn't really put much emotion into it.

I'd rather have Ayu sing moderately and with emotion, than sing perfectly without it.
