I don't think he is lip synching here...For a person who had learned opera singing, you can still hear their voices although the mic is held 10 inches away from them. That's why we can hear Vitas voice when he held his mic away.

During practices, the vocal teacher will stand far away & they need to sing loud and clear enough so that the teacher can hear. And that is without mic... this shows they really gotta have strong vocal and stamina before standing on stage!! It's really hard work!

This isn't lipsync - for sure...

The heavy-dress he wored in 2009 forced him to sync...

@PahangDragonbird well the thing is, hes a great singer, and has a tremendous voice. and i think if i had that talent i would try to lipsync too, on occasion. but the bottom line is-he can sing and thats all that really matters

[PahangDragonbird]

TV performances are nearly always lipsync. He sings badly in those to save his voice for live concerts like this. This is why some of the "Vitas is fake" recordings sound a lot like him because they are him performing on TV, only edited to fit with a live concert recording. Russian singer Alexander Novikov used this as evidence that Vitas is a fraud, but it is clear that he also overlayed an impersonator's voice over it. Vitas' real live voice can be heard in the background.

Yes, well even some of those songs are live. There are slight mistakes he makes in those songs like Lucia di Lammermoor. Either that, or he had recorded some songs for live concert, like I think Blessed Guru was lipsynced (he took out the mic and nothing happened). Sometimes it has playback but he sings along with it. Vitas is pretty bad at lipsync and he often speaks out the lyrics to prevent himself from lagging behind (it's quite disappointing to hear, see Star in Qingdao)

[snapcord]

the fatal flaw of the lipsync argument is...he does NOT lipsync in certain performances (like this one obviously) and yet in other performances he does. in the clearly lipsynced live songs he does crazy head bobs and spins or what have you during crucial high notes, this however is virtually impossible. here he is shown hitting the difficult notes being completely still and concentrated.

@PahangDragonbird you can also hear him at 3:19

2:02 The mic volume has been turned on too much so when Vitas holds it far away there is no problem. They fix it soon after.

When he sings the high notes, we do notice a slight doubling effect. This may be audience singing or something with the reverb, but it's possible this is Vitas' unamplified voice being picked up by the mic. We do not hear him at 2:23 because he's not doing the note anymore. You can see his mouth opening slightly more to sing the note as the mic comes back.
