Haruhi's the one for me. Well, maybe because she has more songs...

Thing is, I could enjoy the recorded version just fine, but seeing it performed Live kinda ruined the image in my mind. Actually, I think the fans in the audience were stunned too, given their silent reception of the song

True, character image songs will require a certain level of singing ability from the seiyuus, but nobody's gonna listen to Sugita (Kyon's seiyuu) and say that he's a great singer. In fact, what makes Kyon's character songs so good to listen to is his unconventional style of singing (screaming randomly and all, lol). They're trained to portray characters well, not sing well. While both require a good voice, these skill sets don't necessarily translate into the other.
