Maybe she thought; "if its going to be a lip syncing thing, why bother". And when lip syncing you must know the words [[mostly), otherwise it's really pointless, so I hesitate to go with the "can's remember new lyrics". At many concerts you can see she uses monitors to show the text. I did not see one during this performance.
If it was not BBC's decision to lip sync "the elderly", I still wonder, why no rehearsal and soundcheck? If this is the new Diana Ross, also lip syncing during her upcoming tour, and yes I know, I visited many concerts in the early 2000 where she occasionally lip sync, but that was maybe a song or two max, is this the way she wil do her upcoming concerts?
Not being cynical and I really don't think she "owns" us fans anything, because she was being bossed around during her Motown years, she can do whatever the wants. It never takes away the respect and admiration for her achievements as a professional I will have for her.
Would I go to see to a lip syncing concerts? The Abba with Abbartars concerts seems to go well.
