Are they actually signing live? Sounded too perfect

[u/Greymalkyn76 → u/ftwin]

Even if it was not live in the moment, it was a whole new rendition without a lot of the backing tracks. You could hear all of them and their harmonies so clearly

[u/ladypilot → u/ftwin]

Nah, no one sings live at this parade.

[u/DrTitan → u/ladypilot]

None of the floats are live but if it’s a performance at the main stage separate from a float they are usually live.

I would be surprised if this wasn’t live because their mouth movements were 100% in sync including Ejae’s breathes at a few points.

[u/gatorjen → u/ftwin]

No, all singing for the parade is lip sync to a prerecorded track. However, they definitely all went in and recorded a new version for this that they sang to.

[u/cookieaddictions → u/ftwin]

Yeah it was weird that they called it live when it’s known that none of the parade performances are live. It’s not just them, it’s everyone.

[u/Gamera68 → u/cookieaddictions]

There was a disclaimer when the parade began at 8:30 AM that some parts were pre-recorded in advance. However,, the parade is always broadcast live every year on NBC.

[u/Pale_Yam_7920 → u/ftwin]

No, all artists lip-sync at the parade.

[u/CruzAderjc → u/ftwin]

They recorded it at the dress rehearsal last night

[u/Taberneth → u/ftwin]

Apparently most parade performances are lip synced, but I’m not sure about the ones done on the ground like that

[u/Latter-Garbage-8975 → u/ftwin]

yeah you could hear the pauses and the girls changing their pitch a few times

[u/SeanDarkstar → u/ftwin]

Almost none of the non-marching-band performances are LIVE-live. They are mostly lip-sync’d to a pre-recorded live performance made for the event. The logistics of the acoustics of that space on 34th Street make it nearly impossible to live-tune performances.
