This thread is getting me to listen to more Lady Gaga than I have since she came out I think. LOLRob - Not only does she sing it live (and very differently) she changes her dance routines as well.
Here are five live performances of Bad Romance - all are completely different vocally which is fairly obvious within the first minute of each one. And all are different than the show I saw her at in Las Vegas. And I only chose the first 5 that came up - there many others but I am too tired to post but I would bet each of those are different again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUrLSRxuDoUI think what Todd may be taking exception to is the fact that the chorus is overlayed. For instance in the first link above the chorus in the background is recorded and Gaga comes in and out around the pre-recorded chorus. The third link she sings the chorus because there is virtually no movement to the number. Lip syncing is pretending to sing the overlayed backing track which she doesn't do. When the chorus is being played her lips aren't moving and in some instances she was talking to the audience.
I could see some having issue with this of course. I don't because of the high movement factor due to the dance numbers that pre-recorded chorus (back tracks for parts of the songs) lets the dancers get into position and she still sings all of the stable parts. This is why at some shows you can see different parts of the song are backing tracks. It's really common for any pop singers with large dance numbers. But what is patently clear is that all five videos are very different in the way she sings them. And in the video she falls - that too is the chorus of that song. Some fans will defend her to death and non fans will rip her to death on this issue.
I am in the middle. I understand the back track for the dance numbers and can excuse it in part - but I also understand why people would rip her for it. I think Gaga should have backing SINGERS not a a backing track layed down. Have the back-up singers sing the chorus so that you can avoid the whole argument and give some singers a job/career in music than a cd player. Have two singers at the corner of the stage singing the bits gaga can;t sing while jumping around the stage. So this irritates me about such performances. Someone, whether Gaga or a back-up singer should be singing the thing - not recordings being played. And it's not like she can't afford it.
Now aside from the dance music and take away the dance number stuff from the discussion and go to girl at a piano and all of these are completely different from each other in pace rhythm and timing and probably her best song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT8lp-U7hFk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vek6znZEWY4I think she proves she can sing. That's established regardless of the Poker Face and Bad Romance overlayed back-up. That can be fairly debated as a side issue I think. But she is not just a studio created voice and there is no denying that fact.
And this is Poker Face completely different than any album or most any other live version - she constantly changes it up. So that argument against her is purely lazy. Poker Face live acoustic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R_OHpMbQVM
This is probably the best version of speechless
