Pretty sure she was lipsyncing. I could be wrong just this odd feeling

Most likely since the concert was recorded for a movie release. They want the "best" sound possible.

Yeah she was using a backing track. She never really learned how to lipsync, you can clearly tell when she's not singing live.

I completely agree. I think part of it is that her prerecorded tracks are always auto tuned (some to point of sounding robotic) and don't have any imperfections and the other part of it is the movement of her mouth is usually just slightly off. I also think when she's lipsyncing she over compensates with choreography, movements of her arms and hands, and facial expressions. All these things taken together make it very obvious. 

All of that being said, I thought it was a beautiful performance and since it was being filmed and it was a tribute to Andrea Boccelli, I have no problem with her lipsyncing it.

 Guys, one thing is clear . She's enjoying her life no matter what her singing limits are. It is no doubt a life lesson to many that with much less would never expose their selfs again. It is so risky lipsync in such a tenor concert! 

Cheers. Marco.

'Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration' will hit theaters globally in November

By Daniela Avila | PEOPLE | September 4, 2024

Get ready, Andrea Bocelli fans! The Italian tenor's highly anticipated concert film is almost here.

On Wednesday, Sept. 4, PEOPLE is exclusively premiering the trailer for Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration.

In the the opening of the trailer, a little boy appears onstage and he turns on a record player as a voice in the background announces, "ladies and gentlemen, Andrea Bocelli."

Then, the trailer features various clips of Bocelli performing onstage, celebrity appearances — like Kim Kardashian, Sofia Vergara and Russell Crowe — and scenic views from the Italian countryside.

"As a boy, I rode my horses through this land. To see so many people coming from every part of the world, all together in peace, it's beautiful," Bocelli says.

The film, which follows Bocelli, 65, through a three-day concert event at the Teatro del Silenzo in Lajatico, Italy, will be released globally in theaters in November. The concert, which was filmed in July, celebrated his 30th anniversary in music and was attended by more than 30,000 guests from around the world. 

"Celebrating the 30th anniversary of my career at Teatro del Silenzio, a place that is so dear to me, with artists and friends was an honor," Bocelli said in a press release. "To be able to share this unforgettable event with the world in cinemas is beyond my greatest dreams."

Ed Sheeran, Shania Twain, Jon Batiste, Russell Crowe, Sofia Vergara, David Foster, Christian Nodal, Sofia Carson, Laura Pausini, Tiziano Ferro, Zucchero, Giorgia, as well as his children Matteo and Virginia joined him onstage.

The documentary was directed by Sam Wrench, who also directed Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Billie Eilish: Live at the O2.

"The film is a love letter to friends, family and Tuscany - a meeting of some of the world's greatest performers in a deeply personal and unmatched setting," Wrench said in the release. "It was a dream to capture so many beautiful, personal moments and performances and I can't wait for everyone to experience it on the big screen."

Fathom are the global distributors of the concert film. 

Classical musicians also performed alongside the singer, including Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, Lang Lang, Aida Garifullina, Nadine Sierra and more.

In October, Bocelli will release a new album titled Duets. The 32-track collection includes brand-new collaborations with stars. like Twain, Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani, Marc Anthony, Karol G and Hans Zimmer.

'Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration’ Sets Release Date, Drops Preview Clip of Breathtaking ‘Nessun Dorma’ Performance

'Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration' will be arriving in theaters on November 8

By Rania Aniftos | Billboard | October 8, 2024

Andrea Bocelli has touched hearts worldwide with his smooth tenor voice for 30 years, and the Italian superstar is commemorating the anniversary with a new concert film.

Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration will be arriving in theaters on November 8, Mercury Studios and Fathom announced on Tuesday (Oct. 8). The film chronicles 66-year-old Bocelli’s three-day July concert event at the Teatro del Silenzio (Theater of Silence) in Lajatico, a natural amphitheater in Bocelli’s Tuscany hometown. The concert featured a number of tracks from Bocelli’s genre-spanning repertoire, as well as captivating star-studded duets with Ed Sheeran, Shania Twain, Jon Batiste, Brian May, Sofia Vergara, David Foster & Katharine McPhee, Matteo Bocelli, Sofia Carson, Lauren Daigle, Eros Ramazzotti and more.

“The first time I had the idea to celebrate Andrea’s 30th anniversary, I shared it with him and Veronica, and they immediately embraced and supported the vision,” Bocelli’s manager, Francesco Pasquero, said in a press statement. “From that moment, two years of non-stop work followed to turn this dream into reality. The support from the entire team, with Almud and Maverick playing pivotal roles, and powered by Mercury, Impact, and CitySound, was instrumental in bringing this project to life. We created an event that will go down in the history of classical, pop, and crossover music, as nothing like this had ever been achieved before, with such a grand stage and world-class artists from all over the globe. When we saw the final cast come on stage, we were truly amazed by the result— we couldn’t have dreamed of anything better. The incredible direction by Sam Wrench, the artistic vision of Francisco Negrin, and the stage design by Stufish elevated the show to extraordinary levels. I’m deeply honored to have been part of this career-defining moment for Maestro Bocelli.”

Emmy Award winner Sam Wrench directed the film, and has previously worked on major concert films like Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Billie Eilish: Live at The O2. “The lessons I’ve learned from all the concert films I’ve made is always just to trust the music and trust the artists,” he tells Billboard. “Lean into what they’re showing and what they’re putting on, and that will always deliver the best and the most authentic film. That’s always what we’re trying to do, bring that live experience of the evening to the cinema.”

He added of Bocelli, “I was so excited to celebrate him as an all-arounder, and to really capture the breadth of what he can do on film. To see someone’s artistry and that his voice never, never shows any hint of failure is incredible.”

Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events, mirrored the sentiment. “This concert was so breathtaking in person that we can’t wait to present it to fans worldwide,” he shared in a statement. “The music and pageantry of this amazing event will be even more remarkable on the big screen, and we are beyond proud to be bringing it to theaters around the world so that fans of Maestro Bocelli – and all of the other special guest artists – can see and experience it!”

Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration isn’t the only exciting project the vocalist has in store. The 30th anniversary celebration continues with an album, Duets, which will arrive on Oct. 25 via Decca Records/Sugar Music. The 32-track collection includes previously released collaborations with Ed Sheeran, Céline Dion, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, and Luciano Pavarotti and more, as well as new duets with Shania Twain, Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani, Marc Anthony, Karol G, Hans Zimmer and his son, Matteo Bocelli.

Andrea Bocelli’s ‘Duets: 30th Anniversary’ Bows in Top 10 on Album Sales, No. 1 on Classical Charts

The all-star compilation boasts new collabs with Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani, Shania Twain and more.

By Keith Caulfield | Billboard | November 7, 2024

Andrea Bocelli lands his 12th top 10-charting effort on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated Nov. 9) with his new compilation, Duets: 30th Anniversary. The star-studded set — which includes previously released collaborations as well as newly-recorded pairings — enters the chart at No. 6 with 20,000 copies sold in the United States in the week ending Oct. 31, according to Luminate.

Duets: 30th Anniversary also debuts atop Billboard’s overall Classical Albums chart and Classical Crossover Albums chart. It marks his 22nd and 16th leaders on the lists, respectively, extending his record for the most No. 1s in each chart’s history. On the Billboard 200, the new Duets set enters at No. 24, landing Bocelli his 21st top 40-charting set on the all-genre ranking.

The project, which celebrates Bocelli’s 30th anniversary in music, includes new performances with the likes of Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani and Shania Twain, alongside previously released duets with Sarah Brightman, Céline Dion, Ed Sheeran and many others.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units.

The Classical Albums chart ranks the most popular classical albums of the week, ranked by equivalent album units. The Classical Crossover Albums chart ranks the top-selling classical crossover titles of the week.
