@Jakthun you are a fucking idiot. they are very well trained singers. broadway trained and the singing was live. go talk about something you actually know. thanks for making an ass of yourself!
@truthhurtschristians The truth is, you're the one who doesn't know what he's talking about frankly. Chris is NOT a trained broadway singer, you dumbass. If you knew anything about him you would've known that. So, go get your facts straight before telling me some random lies. This is not live, and I don't blame him. He wasn't trained enough at that time. He sang "I want to hold your hand" live on the 2nd tour. Compare it to this and please comment again ;)
from 0:24 to 0:43 it looks like rachel is pulling away from Kurt and then at 0:45 to the end it looks like Kurts pulling Rachel :S :P thumbs up if you agree
Hehe, why woudn't they hold hands? They are good friends. It's normal. There is nothing romantically in that, it just shows they have a strong bond, a good friendship. I often hold hands with my best friend. =pPp
I LOVE Chris Colfer. He is soooo cute. But I have heard hes openly gay. I respect that but I wish he wasnt gay cuz, hes SOO cute!!! They r both GREAT singers... Love u Chris!!
you can tell when something is lip synced...if a singer runs all over the stage and the song sounds exactly the same as it was on the cd, then yes it probably is because they should be out of breath from running around and singing at the same time...but i think this performance is live...I mean the most they do is take a couple steps forward and you can hear the difference between this and the track
Near the end they're not totally in sync with each other which makes me think it IS live, but I could be wrong.. What I do know is Chris DEFINITELY sang live in the 2011 tour because during "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" he would say things to the crowd when he should have been singing a line or two and their was no pre-recorded voice still singing.. And let me tell you, he sounded flawless!
@Tranchera This was lipped. For chris the whole thing, for Lea beginning at the second chorus. They recorded this song separately not as a duet. They both recorded it as a solo, but the produces made it a duet. They used the separate tracks so that it would seem live: Starting at different times, not in sync with eachother yadda yadda. But Lea did the song 100% live only twice on the show:
@bikermandandy121 LOL! Please, I am a bigger Glee fan you will ever be! Dint start running your mouth when you know nothing! I've done my research, I have my facts. This has been proven to be lipped. I love them both and can accept they have lipped. It shouldn't change your opinion on them, if it does your not really a fan I you can't accept one fault. I LOVE Celine and Mariah and I accept that they lip sometimes and it doesn't effect me at all. So Bye bitch! (you wanna call names? So will I).
@bikermandandy121 All you've been doing us telling jokes and calling names because you dint know what else to say on the matter besides "it's live". It is not live. Bye! <3
Naive but I love Chris and believe he's live. Also, sorry one last point and this proved to me he's live, when they begin singing together, for second you can only hear Lea but if you look at her she nods to him like " yes it's you you aswell and he quickly starts singing. That proved it to me.
I just think that the studio version and the live versions sound similar because maybe he has a certain way he's always sung it. He knows this song, he says it's his favourite song of all time! He myst've sung it alot. I'm guessing that he knows it so well he knows how to sing certain parts and he feels uncomfortable trying otherwise live. In clips of him live you can see the sound equipment in his ear going into his collar. And WHY would they have Lea sing live and Chris not? Maybe I'm being n
they Are singing live, I've found a recording online from live and there are differences, small differences, but they're there. Lea really does sound like she sings live, Chris maybe not so much, but take in mind, he's always wanted to sing this song when he was younger, maybe he's sung it so many times he perfected it, and so when he sings it it Does sound really similar as the recording.
Yup, they're lip-syncing, but that doesn't mean they can't sing as well as they sound. If you watch other vids of them singing Defying Gravity live, Lea sounds very and I mean VERY different live although she still does a fantastic job :) As for Chris, it's not that he can't sing but I think it was because the producer/director thought he wasn't ready to sing live just yet. I'm sure now, I have no doubt of Chris performing live!
@seansocheap you can tell that they arent lip syncing because there are lots of imperfections and they arent totally together nearing the end. everyone sings differently everytime they get up on stage.
disappointing...ive listened to them sing that song sooo many time taped that i know they are lip syncing its EXACTLY how it sounds on the tape...sad :( ik theyre both so great i wish i could hear kurt actualllly sing!
This is the great thing about casting talented musical actors: they can SING on STAGE, no need for lip syncing! Lea and Chris, you will always be my favorites. :-D
is it just me or is chris colfer like the most georgeous sexi amazing guy ever alive in a trillion billion millon years i love his outfit... although those pants were a little tight, but lemme just say i aint complaining ;)
@ihateu20 what makes you say that? defend your arguement? There are different notes from the studio versions, such as the harmiones at the end so what makes you think it was lipsyncing?
Really? I'm fully convinced they were both lip-syncing in this video, although I've heard Lea Michele sing it for real live. And this is coming from a complete Chris Colfer fangirl. There's no way he wasn't lip-syncing; if you over-lay the studio version with this, it's EXACTLY the same. I'd love to believe differently, but, that just doesn't lie. :/
@ToAsYouLikeIt I thought it was lip-synching too until 0:22. Chris' voice starts out a bit quieter than usual until lea nods at him as if to say "yeah you sing this part" and then he gets louder. At least that was my interpretation.
No he totally sings this live. You can tell in the HD version that hes singing live. He just has an amazing voice.
