[@josuemontes8389]

Not at all

[@mechanicalbreathing589]

obviously it wouldn't sound the same that much, she wasn't even singing the way she sang her song. she's pretty much just telling people the lyrics and saying what it meant to her afterwards. and the mic, it has to be in front of the singer for it to sound more natural.

it's on her neck....
