Well, her voice has gradually got worse since 2006-2007 imo. I think it was with the JEWEL lives (not sure though). But You were... performances made me really worried. Since then her voice sounds "flat" to me, as she couldn't properly sing. Like it was impossible for her to hit a lot of notes. Her voice is almost staying at the same "level" (sorry for my terrible lack of vocabulary...).
I don't get this feeling with the CDs though. Her voice can sound husky and strained but she is still singing like she used to (her voice has changed, but it's something normal).

edit : I'm not saying it is always the case. But it's been a while I was noticing it. This last performance made me think about it.
