progress goes to either D5 or D#5, not exactly sure about which of those, but both are perfectly in her range. The chorus of forgiveness basically consists of D#5s and she did perfectly on POWER of MUSIC. BRILLANTE has lots of D5s in it, M goes even higher, she needs E5 and hit those in POWER of MUSIC.
The reason she struggles on the studio version of progress is that it was recorded BEFORE her new vocal lessons, D5 and D#5 are both at the top of her range, but they are her go-to high notes literally in half of her songs, she can hit them well, she just needs to be in a good condition that day and support her voice properly. But when she supports it properly for the quiet parts of progress it sounds like screaming to many people with no musical knowledge whatsoever.

So yeah she may **** up since she doesn't seem to warm up her voice properly before TV performances, but it's the perfect song for her voice so as long as she concentrates on hitting the notes she can sing it very well.
