It wasn't VERY bad, we've heard worse. Also I mentioned she uses not so good vocals to trick people.
The are 2 ways to tell if she's singing live:
1) fans who have arena seats very close to the stage are able to tell if they watch her lips - if they match the lyrics perfectly. We had such reports before, which were true.
2) comparing recordings of the show from different dates - if the vocals are identical - it's lipped, if they are different -it's live. That's exactly what I do.
So you see, it works: she uses bad vocals and you don't suspect her.
In general we are used that when artists are lip syncing they use vocal tracks with good vocals, but it's still a stereotype, because they can use any vocal tracks - good or bad, it all depends on impressions they want to make. Some even don't record special "live" versions, they just use studio vocals from albums, maybe because they are lazy and don't care much :-)
