As long as Tico keeps time with the backing track, everything's fine but if he steps out of time, there is very little chance of keeping it sounding anywhere near polished.
Maybe I'm wrong as I obviously don't know for sure but I have had my suspicions about this in the past and this would definitely support the theory of the backing track method if they couldn't bring the song back after a mistake.

I think it's quite obvious that they do use a backing track for the really high "Whoa Livin' on a prayer" part of the chorus. Richie and Dave used to sing those parts but it's blatently obvious that Richie now mimes that line (yet you can still hear his voice) and Dave surely doesn't sing it on it's own. From watcing performances of LOAP from this tour, none of Jon's vocals, even after the solo, are mimed. It's just that really high part of the chorus.
