No, I noticed it and found it absolutely bizarre, because I always thought that she was singing the melody there and they were harmonizing with her. I was thinking, "What happened to the melody line??" It was especially noticeable to me because I typically sing along with that line.

Did they really take it off? I thought perhaps two takes were recorded and they made the inexplicable choice to use one where her voice was either missing or hard to hear.
