[Lou M. Taylor]

Does this mean they're adding Slumber party to their playlist?

[Aveda_k]

I like the performance but I understand why she lips... she sounded pitched most of the times and she doesn't like her voice.

[tsss]

so refreshing to hear BOMT live, I wish they did prerecorded vocals for POM

[Maryy]

she looks and sounds so good...

 but she is doing such a HUGE effort to sing well and in the right tone while dancing and stuff... it's almost 'hard' to watch that.

[The Dream]

Ah her live voice!!!! She has so much soul

I seriously hope they'll support SP. I prefer caring about SP to a 20-year-old performance

They may play BOMT if we're lucky

Videos like this should make people realize how hard it is to sing live and dance at the same time. Look how hard she's trying, and her voice sounds great but you can tell she is WORKING just to keep it in the baby voice.

Such nostalgia  This was great, but I do understand why she chooses to lip sync. Girl was out of breath most of the time between trying to sing completely live and do full on choreography. And that was nearly 20 years ago. The lip syncing is fine, just do it to pre-recorded vocals and throw in a few ad lips here and there and the world would be all good.

[Glory(Hole)]

She was so fresh and determined! No extensions,natural hair color,singing live,simple outfit....Oh Brinni,I love you.

[grevan]

Does anyone else think she kind of looks Mediterranean with the dark wavy hair and the makeup? Haha!

 

Anyway you can obviously hear her struggle to maintain the "voice" while also dancing and you can tell she is out of breath by the end. This was ALWAYS why she got a pass for lipping, seeing as she danced so hard. No one can do intense choreo and sing 100% live. It definitely was a nice blast from the past seeing this today though..

Also she obviously doesnt get the same pass lipping anymore from the GP... I hate the GP

[jokobish]

Ah that deep voice was just crying to be free

[BabyCan'tYouSee]

My favorite era tbh. I'm probably in the minority in that lol 

I guess live performances of pop music is different in that being out of breath is considered such a bad thing that people would rather hear lip syncing. AC/DC's vocalist (Brian) could never perform as well live as in the album track vocally, but the live performances were still better just because you could feel the energy from his voice live which you can't really feel from an edited, well-mixed studio track. Sure he was out of breath half the time, but it sounded awesome that way. 

I love hearing Brit live, even more so when she's out of breath from the dancing.

i wish someone would have told her she doesn't have to do the baby voice when she sung live but she sounds amazing

[Slayde]

omg was this filmed with a nokia 3gp  still flawless she sounds like the track I swear she always sings live and just has mastered sounding EXACTLY like the studio recording, incredible talented multi-faceted queen
