Edit - just been pointed at this video, and Id say that it's Patti not Karla, but for those who have the 5.1 surround version is this the Paradise thats on there?

That's definitely Patti. I remember hearing the isolated channels before.
Interesting it was actually used for the Rockband game. It's a shame these types of games peaked at that point with the stupid cartoon graphics as the Guitar Hero Live footage with a real crowd looked so awesome but came way too late in the rhythm music game stuff. A real crowd and real band along with the ability to select whichever song you have in your library for say a 10-20 song setlist would have been an amazing game that just never happened.
I remember also hearing years ago that parts of the original raw vocal track tapes were either lost or destroyed in a fire or something hence they probably had to redo the track for 5.1 with Patti trying to sound like Ellen which is impossible. Also considering SACD came about when Patti was firmly in the band it makes sense she was used to fill in the missing gaps I guess.
