No, she was a little pitchy at the beginning, but did you not hear the feedback she was getting from the sound system in Wendy's studio? When they got that fixed she was able to hold her pitch. I DO sing and I know what nerves do to your voice, with adrenaline causing your voice to go a bit sharp or a bit flat on a note when normally you wouldn't. The test is whether you can bring it together after that initial surge of adrenaline. Tamar gets big props from me for pushing through it and getting it on pitch. The feedback made it that much more nerve-wracking for her at the beginning, trust me. As she gets more experience singing live in many different venues, that stuff will get better. She's got serious chops. Not many singers can send chills down my spine like Tamar does when she opens it up and belts it out toward the end of the song. It must be kinda tough to sing lead with recorded back-up vocals. Your band adjusts their pace to your pace, but the pre-recorded stuff forces you to keep up with it and it's a stern taskmaster. All singers sing the same song at a slightly different pace and with slightly different ad libs from one day to the next. I think she did just fine and I look forward to when her CD drops on Feb 12.
