Crissy and the background vocals are singing live to a prerecorded track. Vocals (only) are NOT lip synced. All vocals are live. All music (except vocals) is prerecorded.
0:26 This vocal line doesn't look or sound lip synced. Vocals are slightly out of sync with the music track but not with the video. Her distance from the mic perfectly matches vocal dynamic every time. Vocal level goes down or up the farther or closer to the mic she gets.
0:59 The bass is not live.
1:31 No guitar amps or cords from guitars. Mikes are the only thing with cords going straight to the studio sound board.
1:59 Drums not live. no crash cymbal.
2:34 Drums not live. No mics on the drum set.
The one cymbal on the left thats 12 feet in the air out of reach hahah!!
2:44 Not the original recorded vocal track. Shes actually singing live to a prerecorded track.

Shows just how good of a singer she is. :)

[@snidelywhiplash]

The vocal sure looks live - "I feel inventive" is a little off-key, for starters.

@@Tyrell_Corp2019Vocals are live. Instruments are not live. Check timestamps in previous post.

[@jpkaneshida5075]

Along with "Kid," another perfect pop song.

Rip Jimmy and Pete gone too soon

[@robertotoconas8113]

Que locura este video... formacion original! Gracias por subirlo!!!!

[@lbjlbj1]

This is the right speed/tempo. Later performances are too fast.

[@sumego5795]

No lip-sync. Man can she move.

[@petergrattan3509]

dreadful camera direction....

[@shevansharpe9462]

First thing I don't do is often but this is the first time me genuinely hearing this and liking it is very very very out of character who is a celebrity song

[@Jon_2218]

A very young Tom Cochrane (red shirt) wasn't too convincing with his lip syncing, lol.

[@robertlowery5586]

Prrobably because that's James Honeyman-Scott in the video.

[@glasshalffull8471]

Great band, Great song.

[@stephenhowell5611]

This is from Granada tv's Get It Together

[@mrJimCharles]

A really great spunding snare drum

[@jamesbradshaw6129]

Would love to see some ToTo footage on this channel.

[@tommyluvstraci]

It’s great to see the original lineup. Where & when was this performance?

[@ozzyozcorn]

Awesome but lip synced ....

[@robertbruce7686]

Quite. Find a genuine live set (old grey whistle test?) Poorness of sync reminds me of Top of the Pops

[@sugarjoe50]

Are you deaf? This is live.

[@jsteed44]

I would have turned away from this if it was...it is certainly "Live"

[@TAROTAI]

wow - she is so off-key
