The only reason she sounds good is because software corrects her pitch. Period. On album and live.
From the same article you referenced:

Last week, I caught up with Lady GaGa, one of Akon?s protégés, and currently number one all over the world with ?Just Dance?. Which has, of course, been autotuned to the hilt. But throughout our interview she kept bursting into snatches of song to demonstrate a point, and it was clear she had no trouble hitting whatever notes she wanted. So I asked her why she felt the need to amend her vocals in the studio. ?Its not for my voice,? GaGa replied. ?The radio is used to a certain perfection and it compresses the voice in a certain kind of way, it smooshes all of the sound together so it sounds smaller but fatter, its not open, very condensed. Unless you are Duffy, where its this extremely organic record, its important to play into the psychology of the listener who is used to a certain sonic quality in the voice. If they don?t hear that, its not hip.?
