I don't care if her voice is worn down. Still sing. I'd rather hear her croak than just stand there pretending.

And if she's banging on the keys, why mute them? I'm so disappointed that she resurrected only to be a pale version of herself.

On LB/CM I could hear and appreciate her keyboard parts--the piano on "Game", the organ on "Carnival", the electric piano on "The Way I Feel" and "Red Sun"--that was all her. And her voice, with judicious dusting and autotuning, still sounds great. But she doesn't seem to be able to do live shows anymore.

Do a studio solo album and forget the megamack tours.

Watch the Ellen ver of The Chain. I hear her doing some elec. keyboard parts. LIttle trills and what not.
