Slave - Heather Morris @ Glee Live in Manchester June 2011

[@nicolevanessa4022]

She was actually singing if you listen closely. Her breath control is amazing I mean she obviously has good stamina because she's a dancer but to dance and sing I'm impressed

[@Matheussandree]

Nicole Vanessa now that you talked about it... WHOA, I'm shocked that she's actually singing while perfectly dancing 😍

[@miaarkins9642]

Nicole Vanessa wth no she’s not the way she is moving so vigorously it’s impossibly to keep your voice as smooth and stable like that.

[@timnashnitzer]

You should watch some KPOP performances where all of them have to dance intense choreos while singing and rapping, i recommend listening to BTS: fire, not today and blood, sweat and tears live performances. Then we can talk again about this being impossible ;)

[@KizunaCare]

Timna Shnitzer Most Kpop idols don't even sing live while dancing. They use playback in some cases, and in other cases some members may have their mics on while others do not. In their concerts, I am pretty sure they only sing live at the songs with less intense dance. So most of the time, Kpop is not about singing live lol I haven't watched BTS so this comment is not about them though.

[@cottagecheeselegs9718]

Timna Shnitzer almost all of kpop group like Black Pink and bts always use a playback and the playback volume is bigger than their voices so their shaky voices not get hear by the viewers

[@MsBananahsplit]

I honestly don't think she was lip syncing. It didn't sound like the studio version and you can tell when she doesn't hold a note as long. Just my observation though. I feel like she has the talent to sing live and dance well.

[@TrentvsTheWorld]

This was live

[@JoJo-hm2cg]

Marley Klaine Rose it wasn’t live dumbass

[@mr.petitetwink11]

Jo Jo yea, it was. I still remember this and have it on my old iPhone 4

[@JoJo-hm2cg]

Lucky’s Subliminals It wasn’t. it’s obviously playback lmfao. Y’all glee fans are hilarious.

[@mr.petitetwink11]

Jo Jo Explain to me how it was playback? You can clearly hear it in her voice, we literally train to dance and sing. It’s called stamina and breathe control. I was literally back stage when they were performing this. I had my V.I.P pass, and literally talked to Heather after this. She was sweating and out of breath. If it was playback, it would’ve been so substandard. Heather is an exceptionally young dancer and singer. She is also a good person. Before they go on stage they rehearsed it, and people with V.I.P passes witnessed it. She sung and dance perfectly.

[@talia8736]

she's in incredible shape, i don't think it's a far stretch that she could dance and sing at the same time.

[@Melisadudley]

Well she did dance with Queen B so she would have picked up stuff so I believe she did

[@fangyong1576]

She didn't lipsync. If you listen carefully, the part "Get it get it.." at 1:34 was different from 1:36. She actually sang live.

[@beba1271]

cause she's amazing like that😂

[@danielagarcia8829]

Fang Yong cause she is amazing

[@NicaPicha06]

It's physically impossible to not have a break in your voice while performing such a complex choreographed routine (that's why Britney usually would lip-sync during her performances). So yes, she was lip syncing to a prerecorded track. She still slayed the performance nonetheless. But in these cases, it's totally Ok & normal to lip sync.

[@elizabethjulia20]

+Evertz Saenz it's literally not impossible... I've performed in musicals where we've done more intense(as in upbeat) dancing and still sang. The notes she was singing were in an easy key for her, and the dance moves weren't super involved which is why she was able to do it. Yes the dancing was complex, but not too high energy or large in movement for it to be possible. So yea this performance really was super amazing.

[@kochow7487]

Evertz Saenz she danced for beyoncé so i'm pretty sure she is able to do routines without losing too much breathe. and this sounds really live due to some of the ragged breathing.

[@minicheeseburger7317]

For anyone who says she is lip syncing. There are pre recorded vocals like every singer does. But her mic is on so she sings along. The pre recorded vocals are for the things the backup singers would do. She sang live. She obviously didnt sing all of the vocals.

[@bigblobofnothing5727]

Thats not a thing, its either its lipped or its live. No one just sings along to the track. The backing vocals are the same as the studio so their lipped and the chorus is lipped but her runs arent and the verses are pretty breathy. Theres also no autotune so it was live

[@PermanentStainTV]

@@bigblobofnothing5727 Britney used to do this

[@amy-zo7mo]

@@bigblobofnothing5727 as someone who used to be a fan of kpop lol that's not true, they would pre-record certain sections of the song that have heavy choreography and lip sync to it live, but then have certain sections be properly sung live, again depending on the choreograohy

[@piastikk3366]

people shocked in the comments because she is singing and dancing perfectly at the same time....have you guys never seen broadway performers? just look at cats, or newsies... and in broadway you can't lipsync, you need to have an insane breath control, so we can say that heather is an amazing performer. that's it. (sorry for the poor english, i'm brazillian.)

[@barbsgl]

Broadway has dancers who sing and singers who dance, but they all have one main duty. To have someone do a choreography as athletic as this while singing for almost 3 minutes is difficult and I’ve seen a lot of musical theatre in my life.

[@isacruz4810]

yh and the fact that the song is heavy so it needs a hard choreography

[@glittergrasshopper1144]

[@erinclarke2695]

Safe to say Heather Morris is one of the best dancers in the world. She wasn't lip syncing, there is a background track as you can hear the singing when she stops towards the end and says 'here we go, now', but you can tell her live voice is there as well. Given how good of a dancer she is, it's likely she knows how to sing and dance like that at the same time.

[@nataliebaez6408]

I honestly don't care if she was lip synching because this performance was AMAZING. She would've had to have had like super mega breath control to pull that off without lip synching and personally know how hard it is so in her words "what the hell who cares"

[@406origami]

she wasn't. That was live, you can realize its live because sounds a little bit diferent from the original song. she is amazing

[@Jessespresso]

There's no way she was lip syncing. They would've made her sound a bit better if they had the time to record her before hand. She might not be the best singer but she's an amazing dancer imo

[@angelanguyen3372]

But that breath control was amazing imagine sing that while dancing an intense routine. At least I think it was an intense routine

[@courtneylynne623]

possummay there is nothing wrong with lip syncing. Some of the best singers have done it. Especially when you have such amazing dance routine.

[@patheticmortal373]

@@lizasaakadze5411 just because the best have done it doesn't mean it's right or acceptable. If they were actually "the best" they wouldn't have lip synced. And Heather didn't lip sync.

[@annamargolina5698]

​@@patheticmortal373 I work in audio engineering - this is most definitely not singing live. You can not whip your head around like that without it registering in your vocals, the vocals remain stable (volume- and pitch-wise) relative to the mic whilst the head moves drastically (eg 1:29 "just TRYNA find out", 2:24 "TIME and place"), that is a dead giveaway. Additionally, every single note is perfectly on pitch, which is hard to do even while standing perfectly still. She is a fantastic performer, but it is just physically impossible to sing very well let alone breath properly when you are doing such advanced choreos. What she has done here is called using pre-recorded vocals. What happens is that instead of using the studio version, an artist will opt to re-record the vocals before the performance for that specific live. It is a common practice. Comments like these are meant with good intentions but lets not expect these performers to be superhuman and put such impossible standards on their shoulders.

[@patheticmortal373]

@@annamargolina5698 she moves her head into those words. You can sing it yourself exactly as she does with the movements and it would sound the same. If the had whipped mid words then maybe, but I'm a gymnast and sung along to the songs during conditioning routines which are much more vigorous and it doesn't change the singing. Moving her head sideways when she starts to sing a word isn't going to affect it much at all. Just a matter of training.

[@guest4590]

@@patheticmortal373 "If they were actually "the best" they wouldn't have lip synced. And Heather didn't lip sync." lol, stop being delusional. She was doing a high cardio dance routine at 100%.

[@maylightbewithyou]

For those debating if she is lip syncing or not: I'm a performer and most likely she was lip syncing, but it would have been to a track that was not the original. For heavily choreographed performances, singers usually pre record a special version of the song that's a little less polished so it feels more believable to an audience member, and they lip sync to that.

think this was mixed with a track, so both her real voice (you can hear the breathy moments) and singing along
