EnergizE would be different from CD even if she sang playback because she uses pre-recorded tracks, she's not Britney Spears after all xD
In her prerecorded tracks, only major flaws are corrected, there sometimes actually are off notes in them, because they ARE live recordings, just recorded in the studio and editing them as much as a studio recording would be really expensive and take the illusion of it being live.

The main reason people call EnergizE probably-playback is, that you do NOT hear any mic-noises, mic-noises are heard with low-quality recording devices such as mobile phone cameras, they are heard better than the singing most times and if you DO NOT hear them, it's most likely to be lipped(though there are songs without micsounds which are live, for example Trauma CDL0405, where she forgot her lyrics, but you use a different microphone for that and if 1 song with a mic has mic-sounds and another one not, one IS playback, we just have to wait for videos of AUDIENCE where we might hear mic-sounds) also, people said you don't hear her breath, but she IS moving quite much, the dance is harder then AUDIENCE(if she performed AUDIENCE as usual), so you should her her breathing, try dancing the dance and singing it without breathing loudly, you see? impossible if youre only walking around you won't hear much breathing, but it doesnt look like shes just walking around, its choreographed
and the last thing would be...bad mouth movements, I don't know if anyone mentioned her mouth being off and you can't see her mouth good from the video we saw, but that's usually showing if something is lipped quite easily

I think we CAN'T possibly say if it's live or not with just the video, we have to see what the majority of reports say and for better videos to say so
