She's just a better singer now, maybe that's why many think she lip synched here but she lets us know she isn't lip synching by stopping for some seconds during the performance. I love this Katy!!!
I also think her musicianship is improving by her choice of smart insertion of playback on top background singers to help give her a break without stoping the flow of the lyrics. Giving her enough time to recover and ad lib and keep the same vibe of the song. Honestly with her choreo and moving between props and costume changes; it’s about time she started using some playback.
AND, this was made for the New Years performance thing on ABC or NBC, so who knows if they edited it or not. But, if you look at a lot of other videos from the residency (by fans) shes for sure singing live.
And to be honest there would be no shame in lip syncing in her performance since I believe this part comes at the middle/end of her very energetic show! But to be fair I think she lip synced When I'm Gone with a pre-recorded track. It could've helped her gain stamina for Walking On Air, which is definitely live. But still, she delivered really good vocals here
I feel like they may have overdubbed a few bits with different vocal takes just to polish it up for UA-cam, but she def did this performance live and sounded great!
Can we talk about how FIT Katy is? Like the whole play show has so much climbing, running, dancing, acting and she does it all flawlessly while still sounding sooo good. She’s insane
But how do you know this lol? Where is your proof? I’m not being rude, I just genuinely want to know where your proof is that there hasn’t been any post production?
Mmm, I would say there’s a little to at least help the vocal sound clearer in spite of it being with a large audience. It has that same “metallic clarity” she had in the Halftime Show performance, maybe less so here, and the Inauguration performance.
actually she was always good, it just came down to nerves and stage presence + dancing/jumping. If you look up her MTV unplugged acoustic performances and her very first album Katy Hudson you can see she actually did a lot of riffs and runs and clean falsettos. her agility and technique actually worsened with age but yeah her power improved
Fun Fact: Walking On Air is from her album Prism, released in 2013, and from the start everybody, the KatyCats and the GP want to make Walking On Air as an official single, but unlikely, it never happened 😅😢
I always liked Katy Perry, her singles. But I really started to discover her and her music at the time she was releasing her "Witness" album. And I was shocked how many great songs she'd recorded for her prior albums. The first time I heard "Walking on air" I was like "WHAT?" It's such an amazing tune, it will never get old! And all of these hits that I've never heard before, like "The one that got away", "Unconditionally", "Part of me" and many others - amazing.
Acually, in december of 2013, Katy asked her fans if they want Walking On Air or Dark Horse as a single. And fans chose Dark Horse. And since it is her most successful and biggest songs (and easily among biggest songs ever), i'm glad tbh, also it is a fav off of Prism as well (WOA is Top 3 as well)
@@marcobejines2035 THAT WAS YEARSSS AGOOO and was for the airing of the nfl halftime show so it needs to perfect since it's going to be aired on live television, nowadays she doesn't lipsync especially on her live concerts, I've been to 2 of her las vegas residency play concerts now and she sings live no lipsync just back up singer assisting her at times but she sings live AMAZINGLY. and she's stable as fck
she's sounding BETTER THAN EVER! this performance is absolutely amazing, you should check out her new cover of The Greatest Love Of All in her Vegas residency! Amazing reaction🤍
Also, the main choreographer was one of Britney’s dancers in her Piece of Me residency, and the directors of the show were the same directors of Britney’s piece of me!
I was lucky enough to attend the final dress rehearsal of the show, the night before the residency opened. After the dress rehearsal, they moved everyone closer to the stage and they filmed this performance! The show was ok… but I will vouch that she is not lip syncing. She messed up a few times during the dress rehearsal and it was her through the microphone.
*I was definitely getting triggered when you said she was lip syncing, but as well all know she isn't lol, the Official Music Video drops January 10th* ❤
Amazing reaction dear! The official video will be released on 10th january I wait for it very impaciently and also for your reaction 🤗 From all KatyCats, thank u for your reactions to Katy!! Love u Georgina!
Yeah it’s definitely live. I watched the whole concert and there’s some things that clearly point that out. But yeah she definitely worked on her live vocals. She’s giving us everything we want!!
I was at the dress rehearsal which is when this was filmed, and I can confirm that this was all live! She absolutely kills this song every time, as well as the rest of the show! You can even see me in the crowd haha
Love the new song, and this vegas show looks amazing! The costumes and the staging… wow! I really hope the new song does well for her, she really deserves to be back on top!
A lot of the pop acts from today are really inspired by the nostalgia of early 2000s, but it's nice and refreshing to see artists like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga stick true to their era; which is pure theatrics, vocals with just a sprinkle of dancing!
we don’t always need to find a reason why a singer sounds good, linked to lip sync or whatever. Katy hardly ever cheated during her live performances, she’s just extremely underrated, vocally speaking, that’s all.
I love her pulling the mic away so everyone knows she's actually singing. Walking on air was from Prism. She had so many good songs on that album that didn't become singles.
I agree with you! Katy’s choreography has some Britney feel to it! I think it’s because she has the same choreographers who choreographed Britney’s “Piece of Me” Las Vegas Residency!
I love, love your channel! Seeing your own enthusiasm over her performance gave me so much joy - brought a big smile to my face! I do appreciate how you corrected yourself after initially saying you believed she was lip syncing. A lot of performances can get some post-production touches to the audio, so we may never know - but I believe Katy really delivered live! As you said...AWESOME vocals! 💕
Definitely not lip-synced, someone posted the full live set on here last week. Sadly her mic seemed a little low throughout the show, (it’s the first show of the residency, I’d always expect some form of technical issues this early on) either that or the mic on the camera/ phone the person was using to record the show wasn’t picking up her voice too well over the music. Either way her mic was most definitely on throughout the entire set and overall she put on a really solid vocal performance.
Love your channel Georgina. You’re so down to earth and relatable. I know when you’re REALLY loving a track as the chair boogie starts!! Can’t wait for the next one. Xx
It's clear that she's recorded backing vocals for the performance, which is why it was a bit confusing at the beginning whether she was singing live or not.
Some tuning (melodyne rather than autotune, they had some time to “perfect it more” for TV) but I was there with NO tuning at all, and while there were imperfections here and there, I highly prefer the live version! Such a great concert and singer, I love her so much, she got so much better starting from 2015/2017.
Yeahhhh it has that slight metallic clear sound to it I couldn’t quite explain. She had that same sound for the Halftime Show and her Inauguration performance and other televised performances usually being televised in a relevant network. I could just never put my finger on it. It sounds like her, inconsistencies and all. But it sounds so clear and good and not like a “iPhone recording a concert” lol.
This was pre recorded when she did her stage check on the Tuesday with VIP guest I was lucky to be there and watch her opening show on her Vegas tour it’s definitely worth watching
She's just a better singer now, maybe that's why many think she lip synched here but she lets us know she isn't lip synching by stopping for some seconds during the performance. I love this Katy!!!
I also think her musicianship is improving by her choice of smart insertion of playback on top background singers to help give her a break without stoping the flow of the lyrics. Giving her enough time to recover and ad lib and keep the same vibe of the song.
Honestly with her choreo and moving between props and costume changes; it’s about time she started using some playback.
Also the beginning. She didn’t move too much, so she can control it better
AND, this was made for the New Years performance thing on ABC or NBC, so who knows if they edited it or not. But, if you look at a lot of other videos from the residency (by fans) shes for sure singing live.

Katy Perry in this live is ON POINT AND BRILLIANT
You're right love you 👌
Her breath control really has improved a lot.
Katy is on fire right now with her new show!!!
Can we talk about how FIT Katy is? Like the whole play show has so much climbing, running, dancing, acting and she does it all flawlessly while still sounding sooo good. She’s insane
and she was pregnant only a year ago
literally lmao i was watching it the other day and was TIRED and amazed at the same time, i'm 22 and i don't think i can do all that lmfaooo
And to think she just gave birth last year, holy shit.
And she is a mother
After having a baby too!
Also, not post production. She just literally sounds INCREDIBLE live!
Yeah she does. Sometimes it’s just not consistent and people focus on that so much that they forgot that she can actually sing live.
But how do you know this lol? Where is your proof? I’m not being rude, I just genuinely want to know where your proof is that there hasn’t been any post production?
Mmm, I would say there’s a little to at least help the vocal sound clearer in spite of it being with a large audience.
It has that same “metallic clarity” she had in the Halftime Show performance, maybe less so here, and the Inauguration performance.
Let's be honest. Most of the time she sounds terrible live.
There was deffo post production, you can especially tell on the head notes. Everyone has post production - it’s not a read on Katy.
damn she killed it.. her vocals are so resonant, cutting deeper than ever :o she improved
actually she was always good, it just came down to nerves and stage presence + dancing/jumping. If you look up her MTV unplugged acoustic performances and her very first album Katy Hudson you can see she actually did a lot of riffs and runs and clean falsettos. her agility and technique actually worsened with age but yeah her power improved
When I'm gone is a great comeback and after 8 years Walking on Air is still so beautiful and catchy 😍
Fun Fact: Walking On Air is from her album Prism, released in 2013, and from the start everybody, the KatyCats and the GP want to make Walking On Air as an official single, but unlikely, it never happened 😅😢

I’m so glad to see Katy back on game again. She so deserves it. Smile didn’t get the recognition it deserved!
Edit: thanks to all agree! ❤️
It was superhit in India
I love smile and witness
It is absolutely NOT lip sync!!!!!!!! 😂 Katy has, and never will!
Yess ty
Katy does never lip-sync. She is using back singers!
yep, she uses a mix of studio backing vocals and actual backup singers
Superbowl xd
She just lip synced Super Bowl, it was live pre-recorded vocals.
@@marcobejines2035 THAT WAS YEARSSS AGOOO and was for the airing of the nfl halftime show so it needs to perfect since it's going to be aired on live television, nowadays she doesn't lipsync especially on her live concerts, I've been to 2 of her las vegas residency play concerts now and she sings live no lipsync just back up singer assisting her at times but she sings live AMAZINGLY. and she's stable as fck
@@marcobejines2035 the super bowl? you can see her documentary, is not playback
she's sounding BETTER THAN EVER! this performance is absolutely amazing, you should check out her new cover of The Greatest Love Of All in her Vegas residency! Amazing reaction🤍
it's not. katy never lip sync! she just sounds incredible
people always think she’s lip syncing only proves she sounds AMAZING!!! backing vocals? YES. but she can SINGGGG LIVEEE. let’s give her that 😌🥰
the fact that you might think she lip synced just proves how unbelievably amazing she sounds now! she's serving vocals in vegas and we're here for it
This is awesone! I hope she' ll back to top !!! She is superb!
This was the best I've heard her in a very long time.
She nailed it
Katy always sings live, she just got better vocally in the past few years and is so resonant and versatile.
Her live vocals and stage presence have improved so much and I’m loving it :)))
Also, the main choreographer was one of Britney’s dancers in her Piece of Me residency, and the directors of the show were the same directors of Britney’s piece of me!
All live! She never lip syncs. She definitely uses backing vocalists. She's just been really improving as of late :)
Good to know!
Her staging is all with the theme (a doll in a world)
I love this songs so much! definitely my top 10 katy’s songs❤️
I was lucky enough to attend the final dress rehearsal of the show, the night before the residency opened.

Pero canto bien al menos!
Oh my gosh such an amazing voice on the walking on air part
This SONG Fricking ROCKS!!!!!....I cannot get ENOUGH!!!!
I love how you stay focused on the video and then you smile at any part of the music (2:29 you smiled and that's ok your smile is cool)

I love Katy! She's a great singer! Her vocals are wonderful! ❤️
Katy never lip sings. She's always live, with incredible back up singers. She has a whole ass band and I'm here for it.
Yeah it’s definitely live. I watched the whole concert and there’s some things that clearly point that out. But yeah she definitely worked on her live vocals. She’s giving us everything we want!!
Omg katy is incredible. Love this Performance. Katy legend
Katy's vocal is really good
Also I think she sang it live because it seems very live throughout her whole show, but i think she edited the video to post
Wow! Best I’ve ever heard her voice!
katy is literally killing the game she's coming
She is really giving everything, vocals, dances, production, I mean she’s a goddess
she's such a great singer and performer!! thr music video for When I'm Gone will be released on January 10th!
She is literally on fire
The music video of When I'm gone will be released on January 10.
I was at the dress rehearsal which is when this was filmed, and I can confirm that this was all live! She absolutely kills this song every time, as well as the rest of the show! You can even see me in the crowd haha
In addition to a little Britney in the beginning, I catch some vintage Cher vibes throughout too.
so happy to see all these positive comments after the hate train she received in 2017 :’)
True🥺 I love her so much 🛐
She’s literally delivering everything 🔥🔥
I was there she literally sounded the same as the video !! she is just soo good .
katy is a queeenn!!🥺💜💖💕❤ i just love her SO MUCH
and also thanks for this incredible reaction!!! 💕💖
she is one of the BEST pop singers to ever live!
Love the new song, and this vegas show looks amazing! The costumes and the staging… wow! I really hope the new song does well for her, she really deserves to be back on top!
Katy perry never lip syncs she always does it live. She’s an amazing singer
She also sang “greatest love of all” :))
She should watch that
I totally agree with everything you said. Maybe you can react when the music video for When im gone comes out on Jan 10th
A lot of the pop acts from today are really inspired by the nostalgia of early 2000s, but it's nice and refreshing to see artists like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga stick true to their era; which is pure theatrics, vocals with just a sprinkle of dancing!
She has really improved live!
we don’t always need to find a reason why a singer sounds good, linked to lip sync or whatever.
Katy hardly ever cheated during her live performances, she’s just extremely underrated, vocally speaking, that’s all.
I love her pulling the mic away so everyone knows she's actually singing. Walking on air was from Prism. She had so many good songs on that album that didn't become singles.
I love her vocal
I love when I’m gone
Katy and Taylor never lip sync!
I'm literally having goosebumps everytime I'm watching that part of walking on air. 😍😍😍
I agree with you! Katy’s choreography has some Britney feel to it! I think it’s because she has the same choreographers who choreographed Britney’s “Piece of Me” Las Vegas Residency!

😊 thank u

I was there for the recording and she sang it live and sounded incredible.
she's singing live and she does it v very well .... what a vocals !!!
i love katy so much it’s crazy
I'm a big fan from Brazil and I get to practice my english watching your videos! Keep on going, love your content. Have an awesome 2022!
I can confirm it was not lip synced.
and no/very very minimal post production
I really love the WIG / WOA changes!!!
Love your channel Georgina. You’re so down to earth and relatable. I know when you’re REALLY loving a track as the chair boogie starts!! Can’t wait for the next one. Xx
i believe britney and katy had the same choreographers. the squared division is their name
It's clear that she's recorded backing vocals for the performance, which is why it was a bit confusing at the beginning whether she was singing live or not.
there are a handful of live backing vocalists as well, i’d say 3 or 4
This show deserves recognition.. THIS IS AWESOME
Thank you for your honest critique. It is very interesting to see these type of videos. 👽♥️♥️♥️
Its live! Katy is amazing 💓💓💓💓
She’s definitely live she’s just rested for the past few years
One of Katy's best songs! And by far alesso's best
She really sounds amazing. THE KATY PERRY is BACK!!
she sounds incredible her voice is so good
the official music video is coming on January 10th. please do a reaction to it as well 🙏🏻
I love this new album and witness album
Definitley some post editing, but no tuning I don't think. It's the compression that makes it sound more like a 'record' than live.
Some tuning (melodyne rather than autotune, they had some time to “perfect it more” for TV) but I was there with NO tuning at all, and while there were imperfections here and there, I highly prefer the live version!
Such a great concert and singer, I love her so much, she got so much better starting from 2015/2017.
Yeahhhh it has that slight metallic clear sound to it I couldn’t quite explain. She had that same sound for the Halftime Show and her Inauguration performance and other televised performances usually being televised in a relevant network.
I could just never put my finger on it. It sounds like her, inconsistencies and all. But it sounds so clear and good and not like a “iPhone recording a concert” lol.
it was a live performance, how would they do “post” production while it’s happening?
I was worried after her pregnancy her voice wouldn’t be the same but it’s only gotten better, and dare I say it sounds deeper?
Yeah with age her voice is definitely “richer” and darker and not quite as sweet as when she was 27 when Teenage Dream came out.
If Walking on Air had been released right after Dark Horse, it would have been an easy #1.
Choreographers are “the squared division” and the show is directed and produced by silent house productions, katy and the squared division.
This was pre recorded when she did her stage check on the Tuesday with VIP guest I was lucky to be there and watch her opening show on her Vegas tour it’s definitely worth watching
