People need to remember that artists also create "tour tracks." That is, they go into a studio and re-record a song to match with their current vocals. They then fix major flaws, but do not edit it as much as a CD version. This track is then played and the artist lipsynchs to it. I remember some interview with Morning Musume where they said they had just gone into the studio to record their tour tracks.

Ayu lipsynching example: CDL 02-03 (I think...it's the one where she's sick). Her voice is hoarse from illness throughout most of it, but then evolution and audience (i think) come along and she's crystal clear and perfect...no way that's live at all.
