Yep, I just saw BoA a couple of days ago as well and you could tell right away that she was lip synching. When someone lip synchs, it's usually very apparent and doesn't need to be discussed whether the person is lip synching or not. I saw Ayu live 2 nights in a row and I remember hearing slight differences. Like I remember on night 1, her voice cracked on one of the notes in Carols, but then in the second night, it did not - so unless she recorded multiple versions to lip synch to live - she doesn't lip synch. Almost every speculation of lip synching is Avex dubbing over the original track.

I do think she may have lip synched that performance in Korea though. Not really suprising though since lip synching is very accepted there, unfortunately.

But for me, part of a singers performance, is to actually SING. And it is possible to dance and sing at the same time, it's certainly not as easy, but BoA herself does it quite often in her Japanese performances(even though the dancing isn't AS full out as in her Korean performances.) Also check out Namie's tours. She dances the hell out of them and her singing doesn't suffer very much.
