Project Phoenix Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I think there should be a third option: To each her own. To me, both are equally good and I like both.
Kronnang Dunn Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Ranka all the way... Sheryl sounds like a XX/XX manufactured Basara all over again...
Gubaba Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I can't really answer, since they're so different. Sheryl's versions are layered with production and all sorts of little studio touches, Ranka's are either a capella or more spontaneous. What's better, Nirvana in the studio or Nirvana Unplugged? If you're like me, it depends on your mood. It also helps that I like both singers' voices. May'n has a strange, silvery, sometimes gritty quality, whereas Megumi Nakajima has a very pure voice, and brings a lot of enthusiasm.
Dio Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I have to admit, my opinion is colored by my impression of each lady's personality, and my favor of Sheryl as a character over Ranka does influence my choice in their singing, but I will try to be objective... Ranka, to me, is the idealistic, talented karaoke singer with dreams of something bigger. She's unrefined, but spontaneous, and probably has a lot more raw potential than Sheryl. As of Episode 5, she sings to try and draw something out of herself. Sheryl, on the other hand, is practiced and professional. Her songs are certainly layered with production effects, etc, but she has also gone past the phase where she's trying to find the music within herself and is instead performing to give that emotion and energy to others, to be inspirational and entertaining. Give it some time and Ranka will probably surpass Sheryl, I have little doubt. However, for now I'm gonna stick with Sheryl as the better voice behind the music.

azrael Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I'm going to close this poll. Minus the episode threads, we have 4 other polls going on, including this one. You can create a new poll once those other polls die off.
