RoverAndOut 4,295 Posted 14 hours ago You can tell how much it meant to her at the end. She wasn't sure she'd ever be able to do it again, now she's just closed an Olympic Opening Ceremony. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrSpud42 27 Posted 13 hours ago I'm not a fan - but let's face it, you don't get a bigger audience than the Olympic opening ceremony. One of those ignore the pain, just push through it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been hearing from some people that it may have been a lip sync, but it doesn't sound like a terribly old recording either way... Irrelevant for our concerns.

Irrelevant for our concerns. If it was, it was literally perfect, nothing was off. Not even a nanosecond. Which makes me think it was her singing live. But you're right, even if it wasn't, like Pavarotti's final performance at the Torino Winter Olympics, it was still inspiring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Father Brown 157 Posted 10 hours ago I wouldn’t be surprised if they did ready a track for lip sync just in case she was unable to perform it live, but personally that performance sounds live to me. If it’s not live, it’s still very commendable and very convincing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
