I don't think there's any doubt the mic was live and the vocals compressed
quite a bit.
As explained earlier in this thread, it's pretty common for singers to use
tracks for all, some or only one of their songs during a live performance
(especially a dance one) and the open mic picks up background and allows the
lead vocal to fill in whenever needed. Heck, I've even heard lead singers
doing backing-vocals to their own tracks! That had the audience fooled..
;-)
Doing this takes a crap-load of pressure off everyone at sound-check
(including lead vocal, who usually only turns up at the last minute) and is
perfectly justified if you're on tour singing the same songs over and over
to different audiences.
