Sheryl Crow on Austin City Limits

Did anybody see this? Was she really singing in real time, with heavy processing? Was she singing along with a track? Was she lip-syncing?

At first I thought it was just a delay.........but then I noticed she seemed to be behind the sound sometimes, not ahead of it (or at least my wife and I both thought so).

I was really surprised, since I have seen and enjoyed other televised performances by her. They had a big mic, and she pretty much kept her mouth behind it almost all the time, or was looking to the side. They also didn't stay close in with the camera for very long at a time.

I am seriously asking, I am not trying to start a rumour. I like her music, I like her as a performer, I like her band and I am an all-time fan of Lance Armstrong. So, I am NOT trashing her or criticizing her. I am honestly asking. It just didn't look right to me, but it may well have been just very heavy processing of her voice. I have never seen her voice processed this much.

It was not the standard Austin City Limits show, where this (to my knowledge) has never been an issue. I love their show. It was a music festival on a larger (darker) stage.
