??? I don't understand what you mean. I got 2 YT links of the performance:
YouTube Славянский базар Loreen (live Slavianskiy Bazar user video)
YouTube ЛОРИН ЭЙФОРИЯ СЛАВЯНСКИЙ БАЗАР 2012 (live Slavianskiy Bazar TV clip)
Backing track is the Melodifestivalen version and she is singing live as usual. It's just no stage show.

Sorry Trece, I don't believe you, there must be some misunderstanding.
Listen to the last part of the video and see for yourself. I'm 100% certain. Loreen have never ever used playback and it would be utterly stupid if she did in Belarus. She went there because of the fans, nothing else (so she says), which I believe. The easy way for her would be to cancel the trip. She surely didn't need to go to Belarus.
edit:
The Melodifestivalen backing track contains prerecorded choruses. This is maybe the cause of the misunderstanding?

She was shocked that her included playback. It's 100% studio version, we all heard it. And even in the last 2 seconds can hear when the music ended, she was finishing herself. Of course, it is not just opened his mouth. That's why I said that the organization is terrible, Loreen had first perform under the playback.

I'm so very sorry you're convinced of this. Accusing someone of lip synching is as hostile as you can get against an artist. Loreen certainly is not an artist that deserve it. No doubt it's very strange there were no light show, no snow, no wind machine, no fog etc. At least the producer could have made the scene dark and used blue lights. Just like they did on the Voice of Finland show. In fact it's unbelievable she accepted to go on a live TV stage like this. If you're right and we add playback singing as well, everything become pointless. I honestly have very hard to picture Loreen in compromising herself like that. She have hinted in interviews there were some commotion and serious problems with the preparations of the show. Why didn't she just leave?
She was criticized in Sweden for going to Belarus in the first place. Slavianskiy Bazar festival is her only performance outside Sweden and she turned down all other offerings around Europe (except Malta). She said she didn't believe in boycott and she wanted to give a special thanks to her fans in Belarus. To avoid being part of a possible propaganda move, there were arrangements made by the Swedish embassy.
You are saying it was all for nothing?

Therefore, we are all upset.
And this is 0% guilt Loreen, it's 100% of the wine organizers. We know that she sings great live
concerts July 14 and 10 proof. We were waiting for the version with the drums, but was playback. 
After receiving an invitation perform in Vitebsk on "Slavianski Bazar" Loreen is still a long time thought to go there in a country where human rights are violated. But the choice made in favor of the fans of her work:
"There are people who like my music. If I had not come, it would be disrespectful to them. That's why I came to speak to the scene to share what I have. And secondly, I came to express their opinions, because I am a free man, and I do it"

Yes, it's strange she didn't do the version like in Allsång på Skansen or Victoria's birthday party with drum break and chanting. She'll probably need the drum boys for this. She is constantly changing the act so it's different every time (and so is also the pre-recorded track). I guess she could have used the version I saw live in Karlskoga (with pre-recorded drums). It's great too. But even if she used the original Melodifestivalen version, it doesn't mean she didn't sing.

I've been listening to covers of My heart is refusing me and there are tons of them on YouTube. A funny reflection is that the male performances are usually much better than the female ones. The song craves a very powerful voice to not get boring on the low parts. Very few hits the marvellous blue tune at the end of the song. This is indeed a very difficult song to perform good.

Loreen tells us on facebook:
Hi beauties. The Instagram-fanvideo for Euphoria will be out next week. And I've seen so many beautiful artworks from you guys here on Facebook, Instagram and DeviantArt so we're now also preparing an album, to show off your talent ♥.
I wonder if we will get yet another studio version of Euphoria with this?

'Euphoria' goes 7x platinum in Sweden and is top of the charts all around Europe
Great for her, but in Belgium, I still haven't heard her song anywhere on the radio...

OK, I'll try to answer again.
I think it's uncool to dislike Allsång rather. Allsång is clearly not "cool" in a normality sense. It is family entertainment spiced with popular contemporary artists. It's not considered uncool for anyone to sing along in for example old Evert Taube ballads. If anything it is perhaps (twisted) a bit bourgeois, a demonstration of culture and upper-class traditions.
