Call me deluded (shut it, dissention ), but I've never thought she's lost all of her range... I really do think it's a matter of her just not singing with it. My belief is that singing night after night proves to be too much of a strain on her voice if she goes beyond the range we typically hear from her, so she avoids it in order to preserve her voice.
But one-off performances like this are a different story.

She sounded beautifully sweet on "Say Goodbye" too, on various recordings I've heard from the tour... but that's another case where it's just one song on which she's not singing lead. So something like that is probably more "do-able" than singing several songs that way, as the lead vocalist.

Anyway, that's just my theory... I'm sure others will completely disagree!
