This also applies to nearly every evolution, Trauma, Boy & Girls, etc. performances, hah.
Yeah, I don't remember which interview it was but one in 2009 she said something about how it's hard to control her screaming sometimes because she gets so excited on stage, lol

I'd say to watch the "because of you" performance at CDL 09-10 to hear how bad her vocals can be. But she does not sound like that all the time now and even her worst performances lately aren't as vocally bad as CDL 07-08 tv version or most of AT08 so I'm not sure why people think she's getting worse live, as I see a bit of an improvement in her voice. :S It just seems like she used to be lost in a sea of vibrato and it made her voice sound awful, but lately she has toned it down and when she does use her vibrato it actually sounds nice, not like HEAVEN @ AT06 or Dearest @ AT08 lol.

Also I loved all of the You were... lives and thought she sang most of them very nicely. I originally expected way way worse and for her to not be able to reach any of the notes. She wound up only having a couple of messups, and one of the lives sounded almost identical to the original recording.
