It's very off-putting having all those camera flashes when you're trying to read your words.

A good argument against reading lyrics when you're supposedly "performing"!

No offense, Liz (or anyone else who appears on a bandstand with "cheat sheets"). As I freely admitted in the recent thread on this subject, I've come to rely on notes at which I can glance, whereas when I was younger and led a much less complicated life, I could sing purely from memory, and I had a much larger working repertoire than I do today.
