Vocals - did they get harder with a patch?

So I used to be able to easily get 5 gold stars on most every song in the game. And now I can't. I've even tried doing songs again that I've gotten 5 gold in the past, and I'm not able to get 5 gold anymore. Could someone tell me what's up? My ego is hurting.

The vocals are harder in this game, and the instrument parts are easier.

It really depends on your Beatlemania activation moments and what exact pitch your voice has. Even if you're just a minuscule bit off with your pitch, it could cos you your Fab rating and your gold stars.
Happens to me a lot with Back in the USSR, Helter Skelter and Think For Yourself.

Don't be hard on yourself, happened to me too. I was so focused on perfecting "Rubber Soul" that my "Abbey Road" scores fell. I don't think it's gotten harder, I think we're just out of practice! And I have to admit, I have gotten pretty complacent considering how easy RB2 is in comparison.
