Thanks for the lofty apellation! I really don't deserve it.
I'll stand by my statements. She clearly was not "spot-on" all the time.
The nature of change when she pulled the mic away did not match the
inevitable proximity effect diminution that would result. No doubt she
knows good mic technique for live performance, has sung this song many
times and reflexively does what we saw. Nonetheless, what I heard simply
did not match what I saw, both in sync and in proximity effect.
