ppl couldnt bothered comments this such a nice pop song beautiful performance pls dont neglecting this type of song still nice to listen in to it variety song is make me feel great.
I had the biggest gay-crush on Nik (and Limahl, actually lol) at that point. Was lucky enough to see him concert here in Toronto in 1985 on the same bill with OMD, Paul Young and The Power Station. Ahhh, youth…
its not played live, TOTP for a period didn't have live performances, for other evidence look at REM orange crush micheal stipe uses a megaphone to hide it and the police performing roxanne sting hardly plays a note
am guessing its from the era that TOTP did lip syncing rather than live performances, check out the REM song orange crush its why micheal stipe uses a megaphone, also the police TOTP version of roxanne, sting hardly pretends to play a note
No, I have never heard about the "Cordless Ariel" that you mention. And a quick google gives me no clues on what it is. Are you talking about a cordless microphone?
No mikes on the drums, no leads coming out of the keyboard, no lead on Nik's guitar. And a live performance would never have that sound quality on the vocals. At least NEVER with a small clip microphone. If he was using a big handheld, maybe.. but in this case. No.
good 4 eva
Oh I love this performance. Everyone's just having fun with a good song and it's really nice to watch.
btw: Nik has great style.

Amazing how they got that KORG POLY 61 to sound like a SCI Prophet 5!
I had the hots for him forever 😀
My first concert… He was brilliant..
@Nytecrawler2010 i had a crush in a friend who is the perfect Nik Kershaw double, he is still in his 20s i think he'll be 26 this year, lol.
He's looks like a teeny little leprechaun with a mullet. His miming sucks too.
This is not hq!! LIAR!!!

It's called shirtmike… And no, the song was slightly different from the album version, it's not dubbed.
nope
I don't care what he said. i mean, listen to the clip!? no one sings like that
he doesn't even have a mic? plus, his voice sounds computerized, especially in the chorus..
stop kidding yourselves. this is playback. no doubt.
Thanks again people, i've learnt a lot from this, wish i could see nick live. if he tours again i will try to catch the 80's midnight express…
Hahahahaha! very good fellow english person. sorry, the penny just dropped with me on this one. it's been a long night…
What the hell are you on? what the hell is he singing into? an invisible fairy mike? christ sake you can't be english…
so nik kershaw took part in band aid?
lol nothing you hear is being played live.
TOTP never does live performances, but this one is quite evident, due to Nik not even singing into a mic of any sort.
But he'll never never fight over you
fantatic 80s legend
It's amazing miming then. Still love that part of the song. I think he plays it at Live Aid anyway.
I agree those are my favorite parts of the song
