Probably been discussed to death but...I really don't want to go through the pages of the lipsync debate...
I think she did, but some people will argue that she wasn't supposed to sing that part to begin with although to me, it certainly sounds and looks like she had meant to sing that line.

As for the Unite thing, I don't really want to get far into it since I haven't compared, I just wanted to make a quick comment about saying that live songs will always sound the same if they are the same song. Because I definitely think that they won't sound the same. No song, no matter how many times it is performed, will sound exactly the same everytime - you should always be able to hear slight differences at the very least. Take all of the Unite TV performances for example. The general consensus is that all of her tv performances are, without a doubt, live. Yet in every tv performance of Unite you can tell that the vocals are distinctly different in some way or another. That's not to say that she lip synched Unite this time, I don't know. Just that live performances of the same song should not sound the same all the time.
