Apparently this is what Britney Spears really sounds like live:
Originally found on Wimp.com. I always wondered how singers could sing so perfectly while prancing around the stage like that – I can hardly talk when I’m running around like that, let along sing. Now we know 
I’m not too familiar with how live performances (especially on this scale) are set up, but I’ve heard that the singers will record a “live” set of vocals in the studio to sing along with while dancing around, so that it sounds fairly authentic, instead of blatantly sounding like they’re lip-syncing off their album CD.
I also don’t see why people complain about vocal tweaking software like Auto-Tune and Midomi…when I buy a song, I’m not paying to hear a person sing poorly, off-key, or with mistakes – I’m paying for a finished, polished product that I’ll enjoy, not something that sounds like the singer doesn’t know what they’re doing or like it was recording in somebody’s garage.
Yay for digital audio
