I agree about that to an extent, but mainly when it comes to Powder Snow. I really wish she would have done that one earlier. The Powder Snow performance definitely seemed live to me, but the notes were too powered through I thought and just overall that performance kind of lacked the emotional punch that song should have.

I didn't think her vocals for Heartplace and End of the World were bad either - quite good actually. But I would definitely still prefer the studio recordings of them. I also prefer the CDL 00/01 performance of End of the World and the CDL 02/03 Heartplace - mainly because she looked like she got into those performances a lot more and showed more emotion in her voice imo.
