I was just wondering when Ed Balls was dancing to Gangnam Style it sounded like no one was singing and they just played the song from a recording instead, as it would too tough to sing it live

no, it wasn't a recording, the band played it live - they play every single song you hear, live, every saturday night

Lance Ellington sang the lead vocals for it

I thought it was sung live because Tess said "Is there nothing that the band cannot do - they even sang in Korean"

It was clearly being sung live as it sounded different to the original song.

Maybe they should sing all the songs in Korean.

Was definitely Lance singing it! Often you can see in the background. Must have been good if you thought it was from a track.

I thought it sounded ok but my house guest, a South Korean, had a different reaction she asked 'what are they singing, that isn't Korean?!'

How rude! Naturally it wouldn't sound "right" to a native Korean-speaker. However, I'm sure her English isn't perfect either. It would have been much more appropriate for her to have praised the vocalist for his efforts.

Would I be right in thinking Katya is half Korean?

The music last night sounded very close to the original, credit to the band and singers

I read somewhere that Lance had been practising all week the phonetic version of the song .

I must admit I thought the band would mess this up, but I was amazed to discover they hadn't brought anyone in specially for this and I couldn't tell. They did a fantastic job! Well done Lance especially!

A bit of an overreaction! I'm sure it was only meant in a jokey manner.

How come "too tough"??

Singers have to sing in Russian, French, Urdu or whatever the language. And Korean is very easy to pronounce syllable by syllable. No, I don't think they had to learn the Korean alphabet.

Yes it was in a jokey style and I did say I had thought it was ok [[had even wondered about the live or recording question] but to be fair if you are a native speaker it might sound strange. her own language skills are excellent
