Does this mean that the guys are so mesmerizingly good that it overshadows the weakness of the female ex-star? OR is she better than everyone states and is she just slightly under expectationlevel but still very good?

Well, yes and yes. The core trio was so good she could have sucked all night and it would still have been an amazing show. But she didn't suck at all. She sang three or four of her songs very well. And none of her weaker performances were below an acceptable level. She just seemed a bit drained of energy, didn't move much, seemed a bit...absent--except when she was singing Stand Back, Landslide, and Storms. I also think she showed a lot of commitment on Say You Love Me, which was a bit unexpected.

But when you compare her performance with Lindsey's it's as if they were in a different universe. He was so jazzed up and stalked the stage like a raving demon. John and Mick were also hot.
