We are talking about her singing voice here. Sure, she might've gotten less confident about it and slightly more tone-deaf, but there is a pretty obvious change in the quality of her voice that was caused by her overstraining it throughout this particular tour. Speaking of her becoming deaf, the main reason AT 2008 intrigues me so much is that her deafness seemed to play a main role in her voice drastically getting worse following 2008, and this tour seems to be the start of it all. I suspect that it was because she didn't have enough time to train her voice to properly accommodate her much worsened hearing and therefore had to use extra force to sing. (The quality of her voice in CDL 2007-2008 was actually decent and not as rough and choppy as CDL 2008-2009, but she obviously couldn't hear herself to stay on key anymore.)
