Really, VB is absolutely minute height-wise, and really to me, she looked totally in proportion. Great legs.
flexybex basically, for example, the choir went into the studio and recorded all our tracks, and they were played out into the stadium through all the speakers, so everyone in the stadium could hear the track properly. Then we also sang live, in real life, actually singing our hearts out, over our recorded vocals. If we ONLY sang live, with no track, no-one would hear us as it would be an absolute nightmare to balance the vocals with the music in such a huge stadium, also taking into account all the cheering/screaming/general production noise/pyrotechnics noise, and the fact that the stadium is just bloody enormous and OPEN TOPPED, there's no way anyone would hear anything if singers were just singing normally into the mic. The orchestra did the same, played over their recording.
ALSO if everyone sang without a track would have been a disaster and everything would have got out of time very quickly. It's so loud even with our noise cancelling headphones it was hard to hear our metronome in our ear. Because the stadium is so big, the noise in the stadium was a second behind the tracks in our ears due to the echo.
So basically everyone was just singing over a track because the venue is so big.
If everyone just mimed over their tracks it WOULD have looked shit. So hard to perform properly when you're not producing any sound. Singing is v physical and you have to put your whole body into it, and when miming people just move their mouths and it looks crap. So that's why we actually sang rather than mimed!
AHHHHH it was such an amazing night!! Cannot believe I actually did that last night. We danced behind muse! That was probably a highlight for me, even though not much of a muse fan. The muse man is absolutely miniscule (smaller than VB height-wise I reckon!)!! Hmm not sure what else was my fave ssd. LOVED singing Freedom, mainly cos it's so fun to sing, but George's moves were classic!
