More,a singer rarely changes his style.Some of them like to swallow the mic,but hey,so are the songs...not really demanding.It's not Augeri's case.
He has to sing complex vocal lines,low notes followed by high-pitched ones and from what I saw he always takes away the mic from his mouth when he hits a high note.
But what am I saying?
Better let's see the changes,shall we?
Augery's style in 2004:(notice the foam thingy in the 1st pic?Still,he doesn't glue his mouth to it)




An older pic:

Now here's the new thing (2006 Sweden):



What's really interesting,to say the least,is,just like Svante said,that among all these (hundreds) of pics taken that night (each in a *mere second*),
you can't see ONE where his mouth shows while singing.Yea,we can see his mouth during Neal's solos or when he holds down the mic,but everything else is a non-stop glued-to-the-mouth-mic style.
No,he is not just touching that foam with his lips,he literally kisses it.
Personally,I really don't believe that Augeri could sing out the words in a clear manner with his lips pressed up so hard.No way.
Then,Miss Nora Tragianese,who is not a photographer but a pro singer,
says that no singer can perform a song in such an inappropriate technical manner and some of you say it's BS.Oh,LOL!
But we are talking about how singers perform live which probably was not the case in Sweden.
Again,I'm not saying that these pics are 100% proof of SA lipping,but let's be honest here...
He changed his style,he hides his mouth and he is accused of miming the songs.Kinda fishy,eh?
One more thing
Same night,same stage,funny how Jeff Healey doesn't need a protected mic...Maybe the wind stopped exactly when he was singing.Riiiight.

Btw,Monker,your girl in the pics might've been lip-synching and you didn't even knew it.
