Hmm, that link has certainly changed my mind on it all.
I liked this from the comments:
"I also couldn’t believe it when, after the athletes took longer to get in their pens that planned, the organisers put on the audio from earlier in the show, thereby revealing (a) that it was clearly dubbed and (b) they had no back-up plan for if the athletes should take longer than two Elbow songs to get in position. Major fuck up.
I also think that was was billed as ‘the world’s largest mosh-pit’ ended up looking like the world’s largest kettle – the world’s athletes, penned in by the boys in blue, then forced to watch a display of celebrity and commodity."

clearly dubbed..
?? Pet Shop Boys and Madness were definitly singing live. The bits later were the studio versions of the songs.
