Couldn't they hear it fail? They carried on dancing and miming.

How fake is that, not even attempting to sing, totally miming along with the soundtrack. Just shows how untalented they were. I would be demanding my money back.

or as someone who has seen the entire show and know that it's totally live. they have ear monitors and probably aren't aware the sound was out.

Again,it's this kinda stuff that makes me love and appreciate Prince so much,and it just reinforces what I already know-that he's the greatest live per4mer around!

I dunno...
I always thought they sounded really sexy with the volume turned down all the way.

I think this is probably exactly what happened, I agree.

People forget that the sound that bands/ artists hear on stage is not what we hear out front. In this era of in-ear monitors, it is perfectly possible that the house PA could go down but their own monitor mix could continue to work.

I could barely watch the clip for all the damn screaming!!!! Why do some people do that at concerts....some healthy cheering at the end of the song, but why scream your throat to pieces in the middle of a performance!! Sounded like some of the audience were been sliced 'n' diced the damn screaming was so intense!! Did they have a reincarnated Elvis on stage with them or something...its only the Spice Girls for pete's sake!

This is exactly what happened. There were also still some parts of the PA that were functioning, because you can hear some of the music coming through. I suspect the onstage floor monitors or such.

So to answer the "how fake is that" -rhetoric question: not fake at all.

damnit, i was expecting to read that david beckham was discovered
backstage singing victoria's parts

This could happen even if there was a live band and singers. If the system drops out, no one with a cameraphone filming from the second level balcony is going to hear much of anything.

i guess like when i saw the show and emma's mic cut out during her solo and would come back on it was proof she wasn't singing.

It's funny how vehemently people these days are seeking out signs of something being ingenuine - they want so badly to see it everywhere, because the cultural industry is so terminably fucked, right? Like someone was kindly informing us all in the comments posted to some Britney Spears video I watched at YouTube that Britney is obviously lip-syncing in all her music videos.

It's okay though if kids are posting stuff like that, but I'd expect adults (or people over 14 for that matter) to at least use their head a little on simple matters such as these.
