Judging from the videos I have seen it appears she sung the majority of it live, albeit with backing tracks.

Also majority of the reviews were saying the same, I think the most common figure was 75% was sung live and the tracks that weren't had big dance routines. Most said she sounded surprisingly good.

The only song where the backing track was notably overpowering (or at least to me anyway) was Call My Name.

I'm sure they've touched up some some of the vocals for the DVD.

She's actually really good live for this tour I'm surprised she's a really good performer.

Yeah they probably did touch the vocals up for the DVD, but from watching the youtube videos she still sounded quite good.

Anyway my thoughts on the show, enjoyed the second half alot more than the first, I would say from about A Million Lights on was great. Great vocals on A Million Lights and loved the Ghetto Baby performance especially, plus the encore was fantastic.

The first half wasn't that good for me, I think the Sexy Den A Mutha and Girl In The Mirror routines are quite poor tbh, and her stage was definitely on the bare side. Also why they thought it was a good idea to miss out on the Promise This breakdown and then the full Parachute dancing routine I don't know, she could have sung another song on her walk over to the b-stage.

Also the show was too short and she missed out on quite a few great songs. I actually enjoyed her BEP's support slot more than this if I am really honest.

In saying that it was her first solo tour and if she continues to tour hopefully the shows will get better.

Also it looked packed, people were suggesting before hand that it was struggling to sell and I started to have my doubts if she was selling well, but it really looked pretty full.

Very enjoyable show. Yes there was some miming but a lot of live singing too, with backing tracks, and she sounded pretty damn good. She's a terrific dancer too, of course.

I do prefer her with Girls Aloud though, because I love their songs so much more than Cheryl's solo stuff. I love all 5 members of GA and think they work brilliantly together, I definitely prefer them to Cheryl solo. Can't wait to see them on their forthcoming tour!

Yeah that was a great performance.

I think she sounded great on the song A Million Lights, better than I expected.

Horrendous. Actually watched 10 minutes, shockingly bad miming. What a joke people pay to see her and then she charges a fortune for fans to meet her.

If you carried on watching you'll see how after the first two songs she sings live for the next 10..

Also that money that she charged fans to meet her went to the Cheryl Cole Foundation...
