But anyway, that's not something I'm going to argue from my experience. From what I heard on that evening, her vocals were pretty good. Others are welcome to have their own opinions.

Loud sound of the show is distorted, so you can judge better when you listen to recoding with normal volume, you can pick up much more nuances this way. Also you can rewind anytime to take a better listen. When you are viewing the show you're losing half of your attention to what's going on in front of you, you're too excited to judge in a proper way.

But she even was improving, with her vocal training. But phone recodings are never something to go by. Yes shes not 100% perfect, but shes no where near as bad as she sounds in phone recodings, recoding a song from the tv or the radio with your phone, its sounds just as bad, and you dont go saying how terrible that person sounds just from a phone record


She migh just postpone it

I disagree. Blaming audio quality is just an excuse to defend an artist:-)
Even low quality mono phone recording unless it's not distorted (and it wasn't) can easily show if a person is hitting the notes or not, singing or shouting.
Of course the better the quality the better for ears, but that's not the point.
Besides I have tons of high quality recordings of her shows and they represent how she really sounds perfectly fine. If I uploaded her bad day vocals, what excuse would you find? It can't get better than recording made by professional device:-P
