Neither "Aimo" nor "My Boyfriend is a Pilot" required a significant vocal range from Ranka nor were either of them complex. Add to that the fact that the supporting music to both songs were "mild" and simplistic to say the least. "What 'bout My Star" is really the first time we've heard Ranka express a dynamic vocal range with a more complex melody.

Still, Sheryl's "Don't Be Late" and "Diamond Crevasse" blows Ranka's current performances out of the water. Let's hope that as Ranka matures into a more professional singer her songs will reflect that growth. As for Sheryl's "What 'bout My Star", it's been extremely difficult to make an opinion of it b/c it we haven't had a decent sample of it that hasn't been cut short or covered by chatter/sound effects.
I believe the actual singer for Ranka is just acting amateurish for now. No question she still has range when you hear Ranka's version "What about my star" but it's still too premature to say Ranka's singing voice actress is weaker.

I do stress that if you listen closely to Sheryl and Ranka, Sheryl has several dimensions vocally than Ranka's teenage idol-ish voice.

One sounds like a lady and the other sounds like a girl.
