      @Kazam K dude this particular performance wasn’t lip-synched. Didn’t you hear the two other men, playing their instruments onstage, sing the background parts of the song, which is normally sung by females? This was 1982. Lip syncing was frowned upon back then, especially during that scandal with that singing group, “Milli Vanilli,” back in the 80s.

    Before Bill passed away he took us to his home and introduced us to his family,friends and old classmates in a documentary for the big screen called "Still Bill" 2010 (you can find it hidden away on You Tube but not for long). He talked about how badly the industry treated him and how he got out in time because he wanted to live a normal family life. It was believed that Bill secretly never wanted to give up being in the spotlight and it was eventually proven in this movie. His natural talent though unused for over 30 yrs was once again tested. He was a natural talent. An excellent writer and consummate performer with so many memorable hits and with royalties that would last a lifetime. Ever since his childhood he just wanted to be loved and accepted and he received the ultimate acceptance when he was inducted into the 2015 Rock and Roll hall of fame, one of the greatest honors bestowed upon a senior performer! Kudos to you Bill. You made your mark in this world and it's something so many of us are still struggling to do before we ascend to the heavens. Just seeing your smiling face after all of the wonderful accolades was enough to believe that there truly is a God and he shined his glorious bright light upon you. Rest in peace Sir Bill. 👏

      The reason why this one sounds better (even though it’s totally subjective lol) is because it’s LIVE. We can hear his raw talent with no help from machines and recording equipment in a studio. Notice how they both sounds exactly the same? Levels when it comes to talent. It’s what we’re missing these days, although Jon Bellion is a VERY TALENTED artist.
