Owl City-Fireflies(live) at nations studio

[homunculous100]

why would they go through the trouble from ripping all the audio on a song and do all the instruments themselves

[gymnast9997]

my life is now complete(: ♥

[RUu3zTam]

Tom Delonge's face

[F1R3STR1K3]

cheater xD

[XArc7AngelX]

Every time I watch this video it gives me the chills, especially when he lets the entire audience sing the chorus at the end.

[XArc7AngelX]

i love how he went "WOO!" at 2:09 it made me smile :)

[LadyLoully]

The electric guitar makes it sound so good !

[thuyduong227]

i don't thing he lipsynching

[Vinnay46]

I think the girl at :30 is cute, but alas, she's probably too young.

[RickTheCoolGuy95]

@Vinnay46 oh shet i also think she's cute :O haha

[oober2004]

More the fact he is the best part of 2 seconds late joining in with the backing tape at the start of the second verse that gives away the lip synching im affraid. Nevertheless, a great band.

[Sushporeoticslove]

Ok guys, what with all the comments about Adam lip synching..

He's using auto tune, thats why it sounds exactly like the recorded version. This is 100% live. Please be sure before you bash. :(

[IamRy4n01]

@Sushporeoticslove BBBB-BULLSHIT LOL

[EthMan09]

he's not lip syncing. He's using autotune. that's why it sounds so much like the recording

[DrummerBoy997]

Doesn't he look like Tom DeLonge?

[acharem]

def lip synched

[nedimp567]

[ValkyrieOwnz]

it sounds like he his miming?

[SugarBearGoesRawr]

why is he lip syncing? don't you pay to hear him sing 'live'

[jjoeshaw]

Either using melodyne live (if that's even possible) or lip syncing

[cbtre10]

[gudgalningen]

[eriicasamy]

[snapboiz13]

its not a Lip syncing ......... its a real music

[snapboiz13]

Real Music <3 <3 <3

[Iwishiwerethird]

Is he lip syncing? I feel like he is... 

[TR0LLINGAlong]

@Iwishiwerethird I have to agree with you on that one. You hear him singing and then you hear him say "It's all you right here" and its just not the same

[Iwishiwerethird]

@TR0LLINGAlong Yeah, exactly. I dunno. Still a cool song, but the EXACT same phasers on his voice, EXACT same tone no matter what he does? Too hard to believe.

[druGakos]

2:47 .... Seems to be the Anakin from star wards :P

[FJKowz]

Dat lip synch.

[daviddimuzio]

Why is he lipsynching the whole thing?? I really wanted to see him actually singing ...disappointed :'(

[hanoldwriter]

@daviddimuzio He's actually singing! His voice is just like that. I think it's because of his illness.

[sirmetalman890]

Breanne Düren FTW...

[boorch]

i don't know why he did it but vox on this live version are playback.

[disheartened100]

.....he's lipsyncing so hard.....T_T its so damn obvious.....

[drc60099]

@disheartened100 when the audience is singing or the whole way through?

[Tropicanax7x]

@drc60099 Think he means the whole way through

[squizzoo]

Well who wrote the hit song you sorry ass loser mutha fkrs's?

[uhavediedhaha]

3:41 he drops his gutiar



[zZzxMcLarenxzZz]

what a lipsync goddam adam!

[absodyuo]

Did he do a bollywood style? (Lip Sync).... dats unkool!

[liontarte]

kind of looks like the dad from breaking bad

[drummaryan]

musics great, but his movements remind me of peewee herman...

[PSUbasketball]

i would go to the concert director punch him in the balls take my money back then tell him that owl city sucks cause they lipsync.

[AlterBridgefanc]

@PSUbasketball Hahahaha,yh that's sad :S

[RhiK67]

Im a massive owl city fan but I do think he is lip syncing and it broke my heart to see. I saw him a few months ago and he definatly wasn't then, it was a small crowd and I was at the front and could also tell the differnce from his cd. His music is amazing and maybe he couldnt get pitch right but he has it now :)

[altair4571]

@RhiK67 Alot of Stars lipsync..example: Michael Jackson.. he lipsyncs in some performances its not cause of laziness(maybe with other people)but because the amount that some of these stars sing, can sometimes be overwhelming..for a human voice

[KarstenHall015]

@altair4571

actually, Michael Jackson lipsynced because he danced at the same time he sang, and he couldn't sing with as much clarity and quality while dancing, and being the perfectionist he was, he had to have it sound perfect too; and for a pretty decent amount of his later work, he had health problems (lupis, laryngitis during the history tour, etc...)

If you're singing correctly, the amount of singing they're doing should be fine. You are uneducated in the human voice.

[MrAdu16]

O.34 Messi hahahahahaha Look on my chanel I have god songs too

[MelGemmaRichardson]

loveeeeeeeeeeee this song! OWL CITY<3

[FTMSM]

Bestt audience ever

[RaidersZombie]

Id totally bend 0:55 over a barrel and show her all 50 states

[THEDRAKKUS]

That girl at 0:57 is soooo hot!!

[afhevh]

I don't see the lip synch at all; I hear heavy auto tune though.

[xptogt4]

Vettel !

[MILZMUSIC]

i thought this was amazing until i noticed he was lip syncing. :[

[JesterHoogs]

id love to make that many people react possitively like this to something i created. this guy is a musical genious.

[superbeasstt]

Lip sync, and his guitar is probably not even pluged in seeing the way he plays it

Nice "talent" right there 

[TOMJAYification]

@superbeasstt it takes talent to make the music he does, it's not just auto tune.

[Tropicanax7x]

Her little smile and dance is so cute!

[Drago2529]

@Tropicanax7x HER???!?!?!?!?!?!

[drc60099]

@Tropicanax7x THE PIANOIST!?!?!?!

[Tropicanax7x]

@drc60099 O_O??? Yeahh lol

[JaredKelso123]

@Tropicanax7x I once knew a girl that looked so similar to Breanne Duren (the girl on the keys).

[iiReVoZ]

@JasonManwell Hey fucker, Adam Young doesn't use AutoTune, he uses Melodyne, a completely different thing. It doesn't change his voice, it just fixes speech blurrs and certain things. And its lip syncing*. Noob.

[MrAustin1813]

He kinda looks like the nerdy guy from Back to the Future.Right?

[nightbaron1412]

i think his voice is auto tuned

[jadepokefan4ever]

@nightbaron1412 been to a real concert? it isnt.

[mstjulio007]

@nightbaron1412 hes not actually singing its the recording if u look closly he screws up once on the lip sync.

[Baiconte]

is this live? if it is it's great .

[Tropicanax7x]

@Baiconte Lip sync, Sadly :/

[EngineHead4]

I wish I was there to catch his guitar pick lol...

[xbujiax]

Awsome performance.

Great band.

Excelent crowd.

10x for the upload.

Thunbs down is you disagree.

[zicothai13]

@xbujiax thanks :) 

[TheUnforgiven0x]

omg he lipsynched :(

[bulldogger4242]

one good looking band there

[EngineHead4]

this back in the day owl city live performance is way better then their recent concert... Why? D=

[norkis2696]

and everybody says Cheryl Cole is crap. She at last sings it live!

[cea61]

lip synch.. ouch.. you supposed to be my idol.. why would you do that?

[Thulldorn]

oh yeh, now i gotta find jimmycrackcorn1981's comment. goodbye to my whole day

[LWD1110]

If hes lipsyncing, he's doing it pretty damn well

[KILBRIDEROCK]

BIG NOSED GIMP

[HellooImAndy]

He plays the guitar during the chorus'. Maybe if you actually listened to the song properly, you could hear it. It's not loud but he does play it. They probably have a tech engineer sorting out the effects for his voice. He may be Adam Young but even he can't sing, play guitar and make time for effects. it's a performance. Lets face it. a lot of this happens in the music industry nowdays, it's almost the norm.

[jwul28]

@HellooImAndy dont say its the norm man. this is fucking lipsync, nobody does it, exept the one who takes their fan for idiots little kids. do u wanna be this idiot little kid? if yes, keep on telling urself its normal and listening to these kinda bands and artists. If u don,t want to, you also know what to do....

[HellooImAndy]

@jwul28 Lol. chill da fuck out. if he is lipsyncing then how come some of his lines cut out early. Haha, yeah I actually will keep listening to these kinda bands. If you have a problem with it, then gtfo.

[gamekidillon12]

@HellooImAndy He's obviously lip syncing, look at any of their live videos. Not only is the quality lower in the other videos but he never sings it exactly like it sounds on the studio version, and his voice sounds exactly like it does on the studio version in this video

I've been recording and producing music for years, and this is obviously lip synced or extremely heavily autotuned.

[marcus5991yay]

@gamekidillon12 You do know he sung and make this song famous before they even made a studio version right? This song was famous before Ocean Eyes was even known about... sorry to tell you but I am one of his biggest fans. Saw Adam live and he isn't lip syncing, I promise you.

[gamekidillon12]

@marcus5991yay Alright, I'll take your word for it.

I'm a fan of Owl City myself and he sings very differently from concert to concert, which is normal for a singer, but here he sings exactly like it is on the studio version, so that made me skeptical.

[marcus5991yay]

@gamekidillon12 No I'm serious fireflies was the song that make Adam Young Famous.....

And the album version wasn't even touched up at all because that is how he sings it.

[gamekidillon12]

@marcus5991yay This concert was performed about a year after Ocean Eyes was released, however.

As far as his live performances go I'm just saying (and this goes for most singers) that they sing it a little differently each time, because they have to sing the same song dozens of times, but he performs it EXACTLY like the studio album. Which is incredibly odd.

[HellooImAndy]

@jwul28 I said it was almost the norm. Not the norm. Read you cunt. He isn't even lip syncing.

[the1music1of1sk8]

at first i hated this song. then i found out he wrote all his songs on amateur software and had a normal life and rose to the top. thats amazing, i respect all of his work now

[TheDman1770]

you can tell there lip singing also in a matter of fact the chick who is playing the piano isnt realy playing it, watch her hands at 1:29

[MsAndyrock]

@TheDman1770 oh shit that is true :S

[elitalee5]

LIP SYNCHING! 

[josephfrancisneri]

It's songs like this that just might save us all

[cherrysmile24]

FUCKIN GOOD VOICE



[thelostcomrad]

LOL EMO KIDS CAN ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS

[Yaizable]

Lionel Messi !!

[MrSlytherator]

what is he doing with that guitar.....

[CrowsFlight]

@MrSlytherator ...not knowing how to play. :P

[LeeNexer]

he looks like messi.

[MsSnowflakes13]

@LeeNexer no: messi looks like Adam :)

[Kongarch]

He actually sings live every time but the producers put the album version in there instead of his live voice *facepalm*

[fernandalorenab]

Marry me?

[colinlf]

i dont care if he lip syncs he is awesome

[EthMan09]

@colinlf he's not lipping, he's using autotune

[thetruegents]

shower of pish

[jepc92003]

gay? he's a xtian person, n I saw him doing an acoustic version of this song with him giving d melody on d guitar, according 2 Wiki he also play every single instrument in d recordings so he's way more talented than most guys talking trash around here, plus he's a recording artist n we r not so learn 2 appreciate some catchy n nice lyrics

[kevaize]

omg this is so gay song......no he is more gay than this very gay song

[ImSoSja]

@kevaize stfu. 

[EffyVlogs]

@kevaize You are very gay

[Am4nW1tHaSp00nXD]

@kevaize Fuck You.

[IsaacAraya99]

@kevaize Then why are you here, troll? You're the prime definition of someone I wouldn't hang out with. It's like playing Halo even though you hate the 360, who does that? XD

[Estelikour]

I don't care if he autotunes or lipsyncs. He actually sounds good and it doesn't even sound that autotuned unlike some other artists.

[ShaMAudio]

actually he isn't lip syncing. i was there it was his real vocals live. all they did was take his studio recorded vocals and overlap his live ones after before showing to tv viewers or watever to make it unique i guess. its possible to lip syncing live but he didnt use it there.

[EthMan09]

@ShaMAudio he's using autotune. that's why it sounds so close to the studio version. cuz there are parts where he pulls away from the mic too soon and his vocals cut out. and that obviously didn't happen in the studio

[spqr1732lego]

wow... his lip syncing, and has a guitar, but isnt using it all. what happen to the times were there was actual talent... now just about any won can " sing "

and that gets me really upset. bc alot of poeople out there can really sing, but thay get pushed to the side with all these auto tuned singers.

[czarnieckizakk]

lmao hes not even singing or playing the guitar. what a fag

[squizzoo]

A great original song, a bunch of beautiful women in the band, and audience (especially at .57), and all some of you can do is trash the song and performance and make girlie comments. Where I come from we call that SUPER GAY. No flaming gay. Yea, flamers for sure.

You haters are flamers and should move to San Fran.

No wait, they wouldn't want your worthless rear ends there either.

Maybe Iran.

LOL

[Undrgrndmetalreaper]

how i go from listening to bring me the horizon to owl city i will never know O.o but im so happy i did!!

[Dk4244]

1:17-1:21... cutest thing ever? Or cutest thing ever?

[Deborha12733]

Adam isn't doing anything xD He's lip singing and He's not actually playing the guitar xDD

[june057]

He has a great voice I'm surprised he's lip synching,

I'd be annoyed if i paid to see him live.

[TheDman1770]

great song but nothing against him or anything but he looks kind of retarded at 0:45-1:07

[kimimaro12109]

@TheDman1770 He was humping the guitar :P

[socomsocom]

@TheDman1770 he "is" (Asperger syndrome)

[MYAMMO1]

chicks are all cute though 

[MYAMMO1]

And I use this word rarely but this song is GAY!

[HotDef]

@MYAMMO1 Fuck you.

[MYAMMO1]

He is such a pussy

[PerfectNightmare132]

He is such a good songwriter! He's really cute too!

[Steelioss]

He is on acid when making songs :]

[fiordeliber]

Mabye his voice just broke hes prob lip syncing though but rly WHO CARES ROFL JUST LISTEN AND ENJOY

[YuccaPucca]

[fiordeliber]

@YuccaPucca Rofl

[fiordeliber]

@YuccaPucca Well one day ima go to his concert and see its alot easier to tell if you go there and watch

[johnnyzotoss]

He is 10000% lip singing in this..you have to be kidding.

[BrohanBand]

This is the best version I've ever heard. Hands down. Check out 3:13 though- when he talks his voice definitely sounds different than when he's "singing" :-/

[7Godspeed]

His voice seems to change when he sings, I like singers like that. Hey is really not lip singing?!

[jimmycrackcorn1981]

i take back wat i said hes fuckin awesome

[redtowlie9]

thumbs up if you listened to owl city b4 he became famous!

[marchingscout14]

[7Godspeed]

@marchingscout14 nice I now right! haha

[VALIRAQ]

[PhnixHAMsta]

@VALIRAQ Breanne Düren. She has AWESOME songs. =)

[TaZ101SAGA]

Ah, happy memories

[Oz117]

37 peopel are dumb idiots and don't enjoy good music enough :)

[infosebi]

This is just pure crap. Sure the song may be a little catchy, but then why dont you praise his macbook for his success? IT deserves way more fame than this phony. And the fake guitar playing is just a little too retarded.

[Oz117]

@infosebi you,re face is retarded :)

[DoodooRandyBootyclap]

@leeteemagic124

He sounds the same because he is lip synching!! DUH!!!!!



[Crazycupmuffin]

@DoodooRandyBootyclap yup he is lip synching i just listened to another version were he couldnt hit any of the high notes and the autotune was working overtime. Shame cos i love his songs

[squizzoo]

The girl at .57 is hot!

[MonsterMENergy]

watch a real live version of this song, i feel bad for the lead singer :(

[jimmycrackcorn1981]

[satunbreeze]

@eetanderndyn  haters gunna hate

[zohoro96]

@jimmycrackcorn1981 THEN FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!

[sandman89er]

i thought so too, but then check out 1.45 where he finishes the word before the speakers do haha

[Adrianofnagrand]

Being in this industry I can assure you it is lip synced. And I've been to others of his shows and this isn't what he sounds like live. To the top comment about him sounding the same live. I apologies.

[konikitty]

It would be better if he slit his wrists on stage and cried more
