He was even a little off key (in my opinion) - which is not like Cliff - maybe he couldn’t hear himself? Tom Jones was the only one of the veteran performers in that show who shone (in my opinion)
He was suffering from a cold, so decided to change the key for "Dynamite" to make it easier to sing. There was subsequently an issue with the sound system, and a number of performers were unable to hear their own vocals. In Cliffs case, instinct kicked in and he sang "Dynamite" in his usual key, so was out of tune with the band. It's the reason that so many performers sounded dreadful on that occasion. I recall Cheryl Cole in particular getting a lot of stick for her performance, but it really wasn't her fault (not that I'm a particular fan of hers).
Just to redress the matter a little, check out this live version of "We Don't Talk Anymore". :
