woow, i have never seen this :hearteyes:

But that could also be a proof for a mic error. Maybe somebody forgot to turn her mic off. It seems weird to me that in every show her vocoder screaming like "Whats up xxx" "are you ready" "dont fuck with the queen" sounded always pretty messy, and overloaded with vocoder, but her revolver singing, suddenly, is just perfect.... still think it was playback

Who knows, but she didn't use the vocoder when she talked in the intro of Revolver during the first shows. She started with that later if I remember it right.

She did lipsync in Revolver. Here's a clip from St. Petersburg. She forgot that she's going to start the first verse.

If we are going to be that petty, we should add that not just the ending, but also the start of Gang Bang was sung live. As proof for that we got the Voice Mixdown. Playback starts at "I tought it was you..."

For Celebration, the start was live and playback started at "Put your arms around me.."

 

Also I would like to add that I love the fact, that she uses pre-recorded live vocals, instead of the Original Studio Version, like some other Pop star starting with "Bri" and ending with "ears" :) :) :) :) :) :)

Okay I'm sorry but that list (in the nicest way possible) is a crock of shite.

 

I can't believe I'm doing this, but to be honest, I've nothing to do this morning... so let me give you a correct list, from somebody with a pretty sharp ear for layers in live music.

 

The Virgin Tour: Sung Totally Live

 

Who's That Girl Tour: Sung Totally Live (I've heard rumours previously that backing tracks were used, it's incorrect).

 

Blond Ambition Tour:

 

Express Yourself - Live over a backing track some shows, mimed on others.

Open Your Heart - Live, the pre-chorus and chorus has a backing track underneath.
Causing A Commotion - Live, the pre-chorus and chorus has a backing track underneath.
Where’s The Party - Generally lip synched, live on some shows over a track.

Like A Virgin - Live

Like A Prayer - Live. There are taped elements under the live vocals in places eg. Nicki's solo.
Medley: Live To Tell / Oh Father - Live
Papa Don’t Preach - Live, the pre-chorus and chorus has a backing track underneath (it was NEVER lip synched).

Sooner Or Later - Live

Hanky Panky  - Live
Now I’m Following You - Self explanatory.

Material Girl - Live, chorus has a backing track underneath.
Cherish Live - the pre-chorus and chorus has a backing track underneath.
Into The Groove - Live, the pre-chorus and chorus has a backing track underneath.
Vogue - Generally lip synched. Live vocals on some shows.
Holiday - Live
Keep It Together - Live
 
The Girlie Show
 
Erotica - Lip synched. A few shows have the occasional live vocal.
​Fever - Live some nights, mimed on others.
Vogue - As above, generally lip synched.
Rain - Live
Express Yourself - Live, backing track in chorus.
Deeper and Deeper - Live
Why's It So Hard - Live
In This Live - Live
Like a Virgin - Live
Bye Bye Baby - Lip synched mostly
I'm Going Banans - Waste of time
La Isla Bonita - Live
Holiday - Live
Justify My Love - Lip synched except the last 30 seconds or so, NOT sung live over the track.
Everybody - Live (backing track at Wembley if I recall correctly).

Drowned World Tour: Generally live. Ray of Light and Music lipped in Barcelona for one show only. Sky Fits Heaven mimed always. NO songs were sung live over a backing track. What you hear is pre-recorded backing vocals and Donna&Nikki. There are NO backing lead vocals eg. from CT onwards.

 

Re-Invention Tour:

 

As above, all LIVE songs were sung live without lead vocal assistance. There was literally NO lead backing tape on most songs. The only songs lip synched were, Vogue, Nobody Knows Me, American Life (partially), Die Another Day,Papa Don't Preach and Into The Groove (most shows). The rest were totally live, no backing tracks, as the Lisbon show attests to.

Yeah, I just figured that out now as I compared the Yokohama, Barcelona and the Nice performance of it. She did mime it partially in the chorus and bridge especially in parts wherein she cannot reach well due to her throat infection.

You can clearly hear backing track in the choruses and bridge of "Into The Groove" on all of the soundboard recordings from Virgin Tour.

I was talking to some friends yesterday, they are musical theatre performers and we were watching Express Yourself from BAT and they said no one would be able to sing this song live with such dance routine!!

Actually, there's footage of her rehearsing "Express yourself" with live vocals on youtube.. wondering why she choose to lypsynch

Shouldn't we do a topic for each tour separately?

God Control: the whispered vocals are playback.

I think there's also a backing track in 'Crazy': the vocals are simply too fast to keep up with (the bits before and after 'shame  on you'.

I also think the amount of backing track might vary from night to night. At the Lisbon opening night, the backing tracks were really loud and I had a hard time hearing her live vocal. On subsequent nights, her live vocal was very prominent in the mix. Still, if her microphone were off for the entire show, I doubt there would be many instrumental parts.

Then there's autotune, but I couldn't tell when it's used and when not.

she just records live sounding vocals most of the time that back her up when its required if she is not up to it etc ..i dont think singing live on so many shows is good for your voice ..hello sticky and sweet ...lol she is good at miming so i do not mind it .its not like britiney spears kind of lip sync no offence to her - i think this is one of the reasons she likes candy shop ..she feels at ease singing it live lol - touring really fucks up her voice 

ive noticed recently that she may even lipsync sometimes on the blonde ambition tour - like i said she is very good at it so its hard to try and figure it out

Edited my post above because after rewatching many Blond Ambition shows it seems clear to me that Papa Don’t Preach was fully live at the first few dates of the tour (coinciding with when Express Yourself was live with a backing track until the Chicago show) and then the first two pre-choruses and choruses were lipped for the rest of the tour.

This is pretty evident on the New Jersey recording of the show, where the volume of the vocals changes between the times where she lips and when she actually sings. Compare these « lower volume vocals » with the ones from the later dates of the tour and you’ll see that they were identical.

i thought vogue from s&s was lip sync cuz the released version has "fix" the vocals to sound better, but i watched a fan video recently and she was singing live, i didnt expect it

The released version has fixed vocals for all the songs though. The large majority of the vocals were overdubbed with pre-recorded vocals. You Must Love Me, Don't Cry for Me Argentina, Like a Virgin and Hung Up were only pitch-corrected and are the most live sounding tracks on this release.

The rap of Vogue was still always lipped.
