Like people have said, sometimes she sounded bad, but she totally embraced the lower part of her voice and sang in those more husky tones. She sang through Hero, even on a bad day in the RB, but by 2003 she was lipping to album vocals. Somewhere along the line she lost all confidence in her vocals or wanted them to be something unrealistic, where in BF through RB in particular, her attitude was very much 'come as you are'.
Right, she did do older songs like Hero fully live during RB. It was like she at least
tried. Whereas with CB it was like sometimes she'd open her mouth and nothing came out, and then you'd notice the backing track quickly kicking in. And yeah, the lipping to Hero album vocals was pretty painful too.
