I was a little suspicious of Audience, only because the vocal performance reminds of 100% the AT 06 tour one.
But I dont know, I think it's live, with a playblack~
Of course, I think even Ayumi knows right now her lives are not so good...
I just wish she could get back into singing good live!! somehow~~
She just needs to do her old, high pitch songs, I think.
Remember vogue at PCDL? It sounded much better than any of her new songs.

I'm pretty sure Vogue (and Honey) weren't live xD

Even though I also think they were pretty much lip synced the fact that they sounded pretty lame makes me question that xD

Haha xD Me, too, much of PCDL to me seemed playback, but was sung too bad to actually be playback xD But I guess I know the reason: It's very likely that she decided to sing something playback AFTER her accident, so she wasn't able to record tracks that are as good as her usual playbacktracks, makes sense, doesn't it?

Note to everybody: Please don't kill me xD I didn't name any specific songs and it's only a guess, but it seems really possible to me, because Ayu always wants to give the best possible performance

This happens to me all the time as well, just surprised my mother yesterday when watching TV, because I noticed a playback after around a second and she didn't notice at all...for Ayu it's much harder than for many others, because of her new recordings and her more-or-less realistic mouth movements, she does it so much better than most artists.
But I'd prefer not to notice it at all as well, especially when I'm not sure about it it kills me a little inside, because I can't enjoy the performance as much as when I'm sure it's live, but I want to enjoy it.

I always assumed this as well. From Vogue to Angel's Song.

No one really is complaining. Just saying what it is or isn't since so many people were praising it as a great vocal performance.

Yes, you are right, I used a wrong word I'm sorry . But, despite that, I don't understand why it have to be lip sync just because it sounds good... There are lots of reports by fans but no one said something about lip sync in Sparkle. Even we have heard a rip from the concert, and maybe it's me but I don't see any evidence of it.

That seems to be a trend here, whenever she is doing something good, there is always something "bad" in the back.

I dont think Vogue was lipsynced at all... but its matters of opinion, right?~
