lol,
>>Probably just more practice
definitely

i can do it more accurately than you also when i did it immediately, but to get those 10 seconds in tune accurately i dont even know how i would begin to get to there lol

Idk by the 3rd try there I was getting close. It might be lip syncing but I don't think it is that much to do live. People like this exist.

Italodisco fan here. Many Italodisco projects had the strategy of having a singer(s) + producer(s) produce the song and then hire an experienced and attractive dancer(s) to provide the stage presence. For Baltimora this stage presence provided by Jimmy McShane, an Ireland born dancer. So yes, every part of that performance is lipsynched as that was the modus operandi for many Italodisco acts of the 1980's. Other such acts are Fun Fun (which changed their stage lineup in the midst of their popularity) and Den Harrow.

Wow that's gross. Not normally an authenticity faggot but at least Jamiroquai or Stevie Wonder actually do the shit live.

Singing live as well as possible is something to really strive for.

Well, it did produce some really good live performances and did trick most people back then. I only learned of this when reading the wikipedia pages for some of the italo acts I liked. The truth is that 1980's dance oriented synthpop was pretty money oriented so they did pull every trick to get a lot of sales/radio plays, but this applies nowadays too. The singer for Fun Fun, Ivana Spagna eventually did have a solo career of her own and she released some iconic songs. I don't have an answer for how the iconic 'oh-oh-oh-oh' part was sang, but Maurizio Bassi produced the song, so he probably provided the base for the vocals at least, though its possible that it was edited in post to alter the pitch the way it does.

Fuck that left chick is hot.

Yes. Too bad she's the worst performer of the three who performed as Fun Fun in their lifetime. She keeps getting the choreography wrong in most of the live performances and her eyes look like she's abusing drugs, which I wouldn't hold past an italian model.

so youre telling me jimmy didnt even do a studio version? wtf

No, Jimmy was just the frontman. At least according to the data available Maurizio Bassi did the studio vocals and the synths etc. a lot of italodisco bands/"artists" did this kind of thing. Its not really that different from modern dance pop artists except the dance pop artists do the singing themselves while the songs are often produced and written by others.

In that video she is doing much better than the other girl.

so who is actually singing?

Probably Maurizio Bassi from what I've researched (not very much). You're free to do your own digging.

Your taste is shit. The girl on the left in the white shirt is shit and you're shit for claiming otherwise.

i mean no way an italian sang the song is an english accent and from when i head jimmys voice in an interview it sounds a lot like the voice from the song

Well, that is what the current info is. Its hard to ask Jimmy since he died from AIDS in the 90's, but its always possible. Would be kind of weird that many places claim Jimmy was only a frontman if he actually sang.
