I did some quick trials, and quickly found it to be pretty consistent.
1: In order to start Bladesong the normal requirements must be filled.
2: To gain the actual benefits, you must have the Bladesong Impeded status.
So start Bladesong, then equip armor or something else that normally prevents Bladesong. A side effect of this is you can use powerful gear with Bladesong that isn't intended to be used with it(such as Balduran's Giantslayer or Armor of Persistence!), provided you've already begun Bladesong.
No difference between difficulty modes this time.
