  • Ozzy Osbourne and Tony Iommi played a surprise show at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games this year. This is the first time Ozzy has been performed since his recent surgery in June. A few people have said his is lip-syncing in it, but is this true?! If it is, does it even matter? If you go to see Ozzy and Black Sabbath live, would you mind if his miming or not?

      Hey, Justin, you are the honest guy, thats right, thats not the Ozzman. He is just in recovery and now he is standing on a Trampoline. That hurts to an really Fan. This is a scary act and i wos angry that Ozzy is falling. He's not agility. Surgery wos on June 2022. Oh, OZZY, your such a great musician but this show is very sad. I love you so much and my heart goes to your recovery. Get well. Justin is the honesty guy on this planet with respect and feeling. Thanks for streaming. 👍🙏👌👏😍💓

      The smile on his face! The fucking smile on his face at 6:12 is so heartwarming. He truly loves nothing more than being on stage in front of a lively audience.
      Of course he can't sing a live show anymore, but his vocals (and the movie) on Degeneration Rules, and Patient nr. 9 are fucking incredible, especially when you factor in his health.
      Yes, he can do multiple takes. Yes, a lot is repeated so he doesn't have too sing as much. Yes, the vocals can and will be altered during the mixing... But seriously, who gives a shit.
      He and almost all the guitarists has recorded with are really neat the top of my favorite artist.

    A wonderfully respectful and optimistic analysis as always Justin. It's his first live performance in 4 years at 73 years old and from what I've read it was a pretty late decision to appear at all. He only asked Tony if he could do it when he saw him doing the opening ceremony on his own so I'd be surprised if it was a live vocal. The impressive thing here isn't his voice, it's the fact that he's bouncing up and down 2 months after major back surgery. This is a 73 year old man with a rare non-degenerative form of Parkinsons who hasn't stood up straight for 3 years and here he is jumping!

    This is one of those rare occasions where I couldn’t care less if the singer is lip-syncing or not. After all Ozzy’s been through, you’ve got to respect the man for simply standing on the stage! For what it’s worth, I think he’s singing, even if it’s not 100% live, and I can’t remember the last time I saw him look so happy, it’s beautiful and heart warming. 🥰

      I totally agree with you on that. I think he is lip syncing only because it sounds super clear and you can see like halfway thru the song he tries to do his usual “let me hear you” type crowd work and it doesn’t come thru the mic. I don’t think he wants to lip sync but I’m sure the event kinda made him

    Let me tell you who I think deserves a massive well done for a return performance at Newport folk festival and that's Joni Mitchell. 78 years old and she performed her 1st gig in 20 years after suffering a burst brain aneurysm. She performed live with no prerecorded 'just in case' vocals. She had Brandi Carlile supporting her along with a lineup of other singers and musicians. Wasnt pitch perfect but those imperfections were somehow as beautiful as her voice at the height of her career. Sure use a bit of lip syncing if needs be, but just be honest about it. Fans would love him all the more and the baying public would have a giant middle finger thrown their way!

They weren't the only ones that had some form of pre-recorded stuff for musically sections but in the closing & opening ceremonies. Given how those are generally done around timings and keeping things going smoothly it's only to be expected.

    Ozzy's vocals have always been (at least) double tracked on the albums so adding a recorded unison vocal seems like a pretty standard thing to do. If it was in fact intended to be live my guess is that the front of house mixer heard a voice and didn't realize it wasn't the live vocal from the stage until Ozzy shouted something which wasn't heard. Ozzy's mic was then added to the mix and all was well after that. Often times at these events there is only one generic crew for all the performers and on top of that mixes are often done ahead of time and handed in on a memory stick!

    That amazing screaming just hyping up the vibe, it's super cool!
    I don't think it's a track, but if it where who cares. He's fresh out of surgery and can barely move yet he's ROCKING. This is awesome

    I think Ozzy is one of a handful of legends you'd let off with a lip sync because 1. His age and 2. His condition. Amazing he's up there at all. I don't know if it's a lip sync for sure or not but I'm just glad he's still at it.

  • @daveslifehacks

    I did think he was lip syncing at one point. I am going to see his live show next year, to be honest I really don't care if he lip syncs the whole show. Just to have the man there while his songs are playing at amazing volume I will be well pleased. Either way, good luck to him. If anyone has earned a bit of help Ozzy has. Judas Priest are supporting him on his tour as well 🔥🔥🔥🔥

    He’s done it for decades. His most recent “Crazy Train” was using audio from a 2010 show, and then who knows if that one was even live? But the fact remains that it’s still Ozzy’s vocals, edited or phoned in or otherwise. They even gave him a small bit of room to sing on his own during “P#9” at the halftime show. It was just mixed in with other takes of the track’s vocals to blend it better.
    But come on, we’ve seen Ozzy sing, we’ve seen him jump, but we’ve _never_ seen Ozzy do both simultaneously like recently, so he’s seems to be feeling a little more free with these appearances.
    And I absolutely love it because to me he now looks and moves like his Guitar Hero model, which is still one of my favorite moments from that series

    Ozzy has definitely had "assistance ", with his live vocals for years, I saw an interview with a guy who was hired to stand by the side of the stage and "enhance " his vocals, might have been Miles Kennedy now that I think about it, but I might be wrong. He also has a vocoder on his vocals, and I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of pre recorded vocals as well. That being said, Ozzy's voice is one of my all time favorites, his voice is just so unique and intense, nothing like it.this performance seems pretty legit tho

    Ozzy did enough here, at the very least, to have us take a pretty hard look to answer this question. The verse he sings after he yells out for the first time sounds like he lost a little breath to me, which points a little to live vocals, in my opinion. Regardless, it's an energetic and enthusiastic performance by all and a great video by you, Justin, as usual!

      Same here. There are definitely some breath pauses and volume drops that you won't get from a clean studio vocal. As someone noted above, he may have recorded it earlier, like day of, just to have a safety net. Even Whitney Houston did it for her Super Bowl rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. She recorded it the day before, during rehearsal

    It sounds too good for a live vocal considering his age and what he's been through, but there are moments when it seems more real.

Ozzy is game, I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted to lip sync either but he wouldn't want to miss this for the World and he's desperate to get out there. 100% respect for this man. It's not like he was even an advertised act that people were paying to see either.
