Lip Syncing: A Necessary Evil?

Published: Thursday 11th Aug 2011 by David

Some swear against it. Some swear by it and there isn’t a Music Award Show that goes by without viewers bringing it up.

Lipsynching.

‘The technical term for matching lip movements with sung or spoken vocals.’

Ever a hot topic on the lips of many a music enthusiast, we here at That Grape Juice HQ want to know….

Is Lip Synching a necessary evil?…

Read more below…

To many performers, lip syncing serves as a crutch which takes one less worry from the stress of a live stage show.

Often used by performers who deliver high powered dance numbers, the art of singing to pre-recorded vocals has been embraced by artists of all genres but none more so than in Pop music.

Regarded by many as being a lazy way out for less vocally gifted performers, many of the world’s greatest acts have built their entire careers around the tool.

Take Janet Jackson, the undeniably talented and gifted power house entertainer who stills wows crowds today with her intense dance numbers and seemingly faultless performance style.

To the untrained ear, many of Ms. Jackson’s  performances throughout her career  feature  flawlessly delivered live vocals.

However, many of her own fans would recognise that like many entertainers, these vocals were not sung  live at all.

Instead, they were re-recorded versions of her songs specifically designed for her sell out stage shows.

So carefully produced to give the impression that  the singing was  live, room was even made throughout many of the songs for her to both laugh and even deliver the classic ‘How You Guys Doing?’ line, all to give her fans the impression they were witnessing a completely live showing.

Of course, not all performers have gone to the depths that Janet, Madonna and the like went to to appease their fans need for all round showmanship.

In the past Britney Spears has come under fire for her poorly delivered habitual lip syncing, which saw her simply mime the album version of her songs on stage, making no attempt to pull the wool over her supporters eyes- or ears to be precise.

Facing so much criticism for it, that she has now adopted the ‘pre-recorded live vocal’ style for her some dates on her ‘Femme Fatale’ which like Madonna and Janet before her sees her sing along to reworked versions of her music, which her  fans seem to have taken well to.

Ever curious to know what’s on your mind, we want to know.

Do you think Lip syncing is a necessary evil?

For with Michael Jackson himself  occasionally substituting his live voice for a recorded variation of  it, many critics remain up in the air when it comes to this ever present  musical issue.

    why do people complain about lip syncing? .. as long as the show is entertaining .. who cares? .. O.o

  2. RihannaNAVY August 11, 2011

    So now that Janet Jackson & Kelly Rowland got caught with “Lipsynchin malfunction” TGJ is tryna defend that practice when just 1 month ago they were blastin Britney for that?

    LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Yall are a joke.

    And please, madonna does NOT lipsynch. She has actually canceled show dates for vocal chord problems. How about u watch her “Truth or Dare” DVD.
    She leaves that to the lessors aka Janitor.

  3. Mely B August 11, 2011

    If an artist is doing a complex dance routine then I don’t mind lip synching but if the person is standing still @ a mic lippin a ballad? – BOOO!

  4. NATE August 11, 2011

    Illusion is what the entertainment industry is all about. You go to a movie, and you know it’s not live action right in front of you, but you still go with the illusion. If an artist knows how to put on a performance and work the stage, like Janet or Madonna it’s really easy to go with the illusion, and even to prefer it over out of breath vocals. Britney has always lipped, but it wasn’t a huge deal at the peak of her career because she’ used to perform her but off, Britney isn’t as good creating that illusion anymore.

    If your standing in one place, you better be live though.

  5. @SRU_Principal August 11, 2011

    Lip-syncing is not necessarily evil, many great talented artist may use the pre-recorded “live” vocals for a show but take a look at the intensity of their choreography. Both Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson has used forms of lip-syncing but I also believe some parts of the show is genuinely live, like the ballads for example. Lip-syncing is definitely apart of the business and almost everyone has used it in some form of fashion. The point of lip-syncing is to make it seem as though you’re “live” not blatantly singing to an album version of your song… I don’t think it’s lip-syncing is evil, some just don’t do it as well as others.

  6. Skin. August 11, 2011

    Britney’s voice is not powerful to sing all the songs from a tour ‘..
    Even Aguilera and GaGa not sing LIVE 100%, because they like to dance.
    Lady GaGa and Aguilera have very strong voices besides Britney, but still do not live 100%.
    This is my opinion about Lip Syncing!
    P.S. – People I went to Britney concert Femme Fatale, and performed LIVE: Hold It Against Me, 3, Drop Dead Beautiful, He About To Lose Me and Burning Up.. And her fans is very happy, because she dans and sing 🙂
    #Peace! 😀

    Lipsynching is good when the dance routines are heavy and complex. Like when Mj performed Dangerous in 1995 VMA Awards.

    But artists like Britney Spears lipsync even when they are singing ballads. And that is really pathetic.

  9. The Naked Truth August 11, 2011

    Beyonce has just RUINED it for everybody hasn’t she? LOL….

    When you have someone like her that can sing live and dance her Ass off, ofcourse its gonna make others look bad…REAL bad!

  10. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) August 11, 2011

    It’s all about the singers vs. performers argument.The public could no longer be entertained by just singers that were standing there behind the mic and singing.They wanted something more.From Elvis to MJ and Madonna singers knew that they would have to move more to grasp the public’s attention, but that simple moving and grooving evolved to demanding choreography when people seemed to want it.So, as long as the performer actually dances, there is no problem because nowadays it’s all about the entertainer/performer, not solely the singer.However, when an artist cannot dance and lip-synchs then it’s just a burning mess and one more example of labels signing all the wrong peoplem based on their image and not their talent.

  11. IdontLiveHere August 11, 2011

    it’s not okay to lipsync on award shows, that should be the point where you show your talent off, but any other show i think you should be able too. We should award artists who are gifted, not products who are great illusionists, leave that s*** for your own concerts/fans, don’t feed the general public that s***.

  12. onyx August 11, 2011

    Of course is necessary they’re human 2. I love Madonna, Janet and Michael’s voices but nobody sings live and sounds like a record not even Whitney Houston, is not a big deal, i see many artists live and there’s no one with a perfect voice, no Beyonce, Adele or Mariah nobody that’s the truth.

  13. JJFAN1814 August 11, 2011

    I can care less about lipsynching as long as you’re dancing!!!!

  14. Courtney August 11, 2011

    when it’s for an award show it’s guarenteed to be lip synched because it’s taped from so many angles that singing a song live especially a vocally complex one like I Stay In Love that many times would blow anybody’s voice out. it’s different when it’s in concert some of the audience might get up and walk out if a singer lip synches

  15. Nts August 11, 2011

    whats funny is that the UK’S alexandra burke can sing live & do complex dance routines also so come on US step it up

  16. Zam Zhinga August 11, 2011

    I agree with Nate, Lyp syncing is not evil. It’s a part of live shows-point blank. WOuld you rather the performer who is known for high energy shows, sit on a stool and sing live all night. That would get boring after 5 minutes. If you want that, go to a karoake bar and sit next to your fave performer. In order to have good vocals and a great show, great artist have to pre-record some vocals to add to their own. How many on here can dance for 2 hours and deliver pitch perfect vocals at the same time? Not many. Although I like the information this site provides, on some of your topics TGJ comes off a bit biased. On one hand you praise SOME ARTIST that you guys like for some things but bash others for that same thing. It’s clear most times which artists you guys cater to and the ones you do not. And that’s your right. But isn’t this suposed to be an objective viewpoint blog? If not then you guys should just make a fan page for your few select artist that you laud everyday.

  17. bey’knight August 11, 2011

    i wont mind so much if its not lazily done. i dont want to know that my fav is lipsynchin unless i go back and watch the clip but i any case u cant judge a performer/peformance on vocals alone. there’s a certain popstar that sings live all the time but that dont make her more entertaining than dishwater

    if u absolutely have to do it, do it right….and no to album version pls

  18. IdontLiveHere August 11, 2011

    I get why people still go see Britney even though they know she lips, it’s b/cuz she’s giving you lights, pyrotechniques, costumes, and hundreds of dancers, samething w/ Janet and they are playing their number 1 singles. BUT thank God for Beyonce and Lady Gaga, they are the type that dont even have to play number 1 hits to give the crowd life. They can perform an album throwaway and make it make sense. you feel me?

  19. onyx August 11, 2011

    Sometimes is better Lip Syncing and dance and make a great show like in some concerts Madonna, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, J.Lo and other do, when other musicians sing, dance and sounds terrible just 2 prove they’are real artist who sing live like ……is better not 2 say they’re names. Stay with the doubt

  20. KAT DELUNA FAN August 11, 2011

    Britney sucks,no vocals,Janetor has no vocal chords.They aint no singers.In a perfect world :

    Janet should have been MJ’s back up dancer
    Britney should be Christina aguilera back up dancer also

  21. Chillin August 11, 2011

    @Rihanna Navy …i dont knwo why you always come on this site if everything you have to say is negative…Sam never said it was OK..he is asking what we think…omg..you little kids get on my nerve

  22. kimberly August 11, 2011

    clean and clear. If an artist is intense on stage fine. Some artist use it as a crotch too much that is the reason people complain so much. Britney use it for 95% of her concert like wtf. If you are a great performer and singer, you need to prove it and not with lip syncing. Some artist have nothing much doing on stage and still f****** lip sync.
    Britney walk from left to right on stage and still lipsync at her concerts. Ex. billboard awards.
    Some artist concentrate on more dancing than singing and then lip sync. why not balance the two? ciara, chris brown. You are known as a singer not a dancer!!!!!
    This entertainment industry has taken a very disappointing direction just because fans of an artist requirements and expectations are too low. They lose focus on real talent and concentrate on gimmicks too often and complain that the music industry is s***** and bias.

  23. bey’knight August 11, 2011

    @IdontLiveHere

    couldnt agree more! when i saw Britney’s spectacular stage even i contemplated going to see her live. Even Madonna’s stages aren’t as extravagant but then again Madonna focuses more on themes, i love that about her and she works extra hard on live arrangements. Infact the only thing missing in a Madonna concert is breathtaking vocal acrobatics not that it makes her ballads any less entertaining . That woman is a beast on stage

  24. DUNKFAN August 11, 2011

    If your doing a full out dance number please Lip sync. The truth is no one in this world can sing live while dancing. It’s like trying to sing on a treadmill.

  25. PopEater August 11, 2011

    I have no issue with it. I am going to a Janet or Madonna show. or even Britney. I want to be entertained. i dont want to be distracted by horrible vocals because they are trying to dance and sing at the same time.

    Another person who does this like no other is Beyonce!!! She also sings to pre-recorded vocals and/or enhanced microphone sound effects when she does high performing numbers.

    I have no issue with it. The King of Pop did this as well. We all know all the people mentioned above have some type of vocal talent. So what’s the big deal.

    Now if I went to see Adele perform and she was sitting on a stool the entire time, and she was lip synching. I’d be pissed. There’s a big difference. We know a Janet, Mike (RIP), Madonna, Beyonce, and Britney are there to entertain us with dancing, special effects, staging, etc. That’s part of the reason for their success.

  26. Casual August 11, 2011

    SOME lipsynching is okay, but not major portions of the show. To avoid running out of breath, singers need to pace themselves and work wtih choreographers on coming up with routines that won’t leave them too winded to sing. Singers can also work with their musical directors and background singers to come up with song arrangements that will allow them to sing live.

  27. kimberly August 11, 2011

    LIP SYNCING IS BECOMING EVIL. IF SOME ARTIST CAN SING AND DANCE TODAY, BY BALANCING THE TOO IN THEIR PERFORMANCES WITH NO PROBLEMS, THEN OTHERS CAN DO IT. THE EFFORT AND PRACTICE SOME ARTIST PUT IN THEIR CRAFT GO UN NOTICE JUST BECAUSE SOME ARTIST MAKE IT SO OK TO LIP SYNC.
    IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A DANCER CONCENTRATE ON DANCING; A SINGER CONCENTRATE ON YOUR VOCALS. A PERFORMER IS THE MIXTURE OF BOTH!!! IT IS NEVER AND WILL NEVER BE ELECTRIFYING TO SEE A LIVE PERFORMANCE WITH THE ARTIST LIP SYNCING.

  28. bey’knight August 11, 2011

    @kimberly

    i agree with u too but if u ask a Chris Brown fan what they looking forward to in his performance, they’ll like say his dancing.while this is not proper because it’ll hurt their reputation as a performer in the long run they are staying within comfort zone and giving the fans what they want. At least peeps like Chris and Ciara have an alibi. they were never great vocalists, some of their peers have no niche as performers except for the razzle dazzle props

  29. Malibu Barbie August 11, 2011

    at the end of the day… id rather the dance their ass off.. sound great. and give me a good show i dont care if its pre-recorded just aslong as its YOUR VOICE. you ENTERTAIN ME. and you put on a BADASS show.. i like the pre-recorded vocals better than just miming to ur album cut.
    ppl are making a big deal out of it.

  30. RosaRubbel August 11, 2011

    I think lip-synching is ungrateful towards your fans. Millions of people buy tickets to see you live and then you’re just ‘standing there’. I also don’t get why artists are doing it. It’s okay when you’re ill or something, but singing isn’t only your ‘job’ it’s your passion.

  31. hesings August 11, 2011

    @AtNakedTruth Beyonce lips as well she’s just better at it than most

  32. Bey on TOp LsM August 11, 2011

    Lip syncing is a must have I can’t take rihanna singing live anymore

  33. B Lamont August 11, 2011

    I have no problem with lip-synching as long as it’s a high energy show and effort is made to have some type of live (whether in-studio or in-person) sound. The thing that sets Janet a part in this is that unlike most of her counterparts, she was the first to really do the pre-recorded live vocal to bring that “live” sound to the audience. It is IMPOSSIBLE to sing completely live and dance (high-energy routines, not booty bouncing) at the same time. There is not ONE artist that can do it (Beyonce and Lady Gaga fans, please accept the truth…their shows are NOT 100% live either and if you think they are, they have pulled the wool over your eyes). We’ve all heard most of these artists sing live, so we know that they actually can do it, well except Britney (I dont think anyone has ever heard her sing except the recording engineer in the studio…lol).

  34. THE QUEEN OF MUSIC August 11, 2011

    @Dumpy LMAO With a name like that….that explains it all. What a dumb ass question. Ill tell u why people care…..ive spent my hard earn money and i want to see why u got a record deal. Thats why u will never catch me at a Britney concert or them other part tarts. They got their record deal by singing…..so why stop. Show me some damn talent. It just shows ur ass stan for one of those basic b****** LMAO Who wants to b at a concert and the artist is up there lip syncing and isnt moving around. It just sad that half of these artist rely on lip syncing. #SMH @The Naked Truth Co-Sign KING B is killen them h*** LMAO

  35. NoBey August 11, 2011

    Uhm, Beyonce does not sing live all the time!!!! She has you guys fooled!!! She sings to pre-recorded vocals just like the rest of the performers.

  36. onyx August 11, 2011

    Believe me just to be there watching your idol so close you just don’t have time 2 think if they’re lip syncing or not you are hypnotized.

  37. YEABEY and the lessors don’t mix August 11, 2011

    Nothing is wrong with lip-syncing if and only you HAVE TO dance your ass off! If you dance a lot and have to “sing” a ballad next then I would most likely accept a lip-syncing seeing that the singer might be exhausted or out of breath!

  38. kimberly August 11, 2011

    @ the naked truth Thank you very much!!!! She has made it very difficult in todays performance world.
    When you are a fan of the great it is hard to accept nonsense. I have been to a Beyonce concert and too be more factual an intimate one too, where you can see and know everything, and she sang every song live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even her uptempo songs, and the only time you see her take breathes is when she stops . It may seem difficult but she knows how to sing, which note to sing her lines at and when she can hit the high notes and even which song she tackles next, why because she is a verteran and she has studied her craft and masters it. A lot of people take credit away from her just because the artist they stana for cannot do it and think that it is impossible. She is not getting the praises from critics for no reason. You can only witness greatness when you see her live, with no distractions on stage, just her dancers, band and her mic.

    To all those going to the intimate venues next week take note of it!!!!!

  39. Jamaican Bouy August 11, 2011

    There is nothing wrong with lipsyncing. Just like auto-tune, its just the amount that is overbearing.

    The world knows that Beyonce and Lady Gaga uses pre-recorded vocals, but its not overbearing. Thats the Key. But when u gonna use it for your entire show for every performance for every song – NOW THATS A PROBLEM

    But bouy does Beyonce run circles around the industry when she performance………………….NO ONE can touch her live!!!!!

  40. King B August 11, 2011

    I’m not a fan of lip-syncing AT ALL. I personally feel that it’s laziness. I’ll let it slide if it’s a case of a talented singer doing dance routines that is genuinely damn near impossible to simultaneously sing live with, but when this is what constitutes almost the entirety of all your shows, then I’m not here for it, no matter who you are. Even if it’s pre-recorded vocals and not just your CD playing in the background, I still feel like I’m being cheated out of a truly live experience. I’d rather that the artist let up on the dancing so they can focus more on the singing. And if you just lack vocal ability, then you have no business being a singer, period.

    ^^^^^ This , Anyway i still believe if you are TRULY talented that you can do INTENSE complex choreo without lipping .Hell the Greats did it why cant you ? Mj might have lipped part of a performance but he always song lived and that voice of his always damn near pitch perfect, and dont even get me started on Sammy Davis Jr,and James Brown they used to beat up the stage just like mj and never lipped

  44. princebarbietv August 11, 2011

    If you put on a great show, I honestly don’t mind. Even if you can’t sing that well I don’t mind. I would rather you fake it and save me from hearing horrible vocals.

    @ KING b i agree with you, I feel cheated all the time, and there are artist that I will never pay to see live. I’d prefer pay to see celine deon live than pay to see lip syncing. Fans too often settle for less. You support an artist, buy their music, buy their perfumes etc, disrespect people on the internet, help your singles chart positions and the most you can do is to sing live for you fans and they don’t.

    @ jamaican Bouy, she runs circles YES! tv ratings go sky high when she performs and drops when she is done. Always the most anticipated performer in show biz. There are lots of proof of that in case someone wants to tackle me.

  47. onyx August 11, 2011

    OMG! what do u prefer go to see Adele with her high notes, sing live, no moves, you get bored, or go 2 see Britney Lip Syncing, dancing, wherever, i like Adele but i don’t wanna see her live cause if i wanna sleep i go to my bed, i see britney in concert, she was lip syncing all the time but was a great show, just 2 see her so close 2 you, the same thing with Madonna (that was the best time i ever had), with Madge not with Britney just 2 be clear.

  48. Royalkev August 11, 2011

    Lipping is acceptable, it just all depends on how intricate your choreography is. For instance, Chris Brown, Janet, Usher, Ciara (and even Britney and Christina – at times) can get a pass because their stage shows are usually atleast 50 – 75% of the time high energy performances. I’m on the fence with Madonna, she usually stands next to alot of props and does very little movement. These “performers” that entertain are given these allowances. I personally think Janet does it best, because she’s mixed in lipping with live singing(for her ballads) , as well as sung live over backing tracks to still give you the live experience. Not everyone is Sade. It’s okay, to incorporate these things if your more physical on stage. Now my only problem with an artist is if they CAN’T sing live!

    there is nothing wrong with lipsynching especially if they are dancing yall need to understand that these people are human also they tour around the world majority of the time performing and doing that live all the time while dancing etc would wear and tear on there cords i agree for a couple songs every now and then they should show off there vocals.it has more to do with vocalistist vs entertainers ….me i would take and entertainer any day

  52. Spunkypoop August 11, 2011

    Everyone does it in some way, shape or form. It’s part of showbiz and stage performance 101. There is no way your voice will stay fresh for 50 cities back to back every night and anyone who tells you other wise is a bullface lie!

  53. onyx August 11, 2011

    If you want they’re sound like a record just buy and album and listen cause that is their best, would you change the song “Billie Jean” (the studio album version) 4 one live version of the song, i don’t think so.

  54. KAT DELUNA FAN August 11, 2011

    I am againt Lip Syncing because music for me is :EMOTIONS

    I’ll rather hear rihanna goat voice singing badly while feeling her sadness during a song like FireBomb than Usher dances perfectly for minutes.I am against it also because you just cant see the progress or decrease in your own vocals if you used it to the filfh.

    Lip syncing once in awhile if you loose your voice for the day like Bruno Mars at the last grammys awards shows or B at the UK Itv Special.Yes (or for any other GOOD REASON)
    But lip syncing because you are doing a routine :NOOOOOOOO

  55. King B August 11, 2011

    @ LOL:

    Great point, there was no lip-syncing back in James’ and Sammy’s era. I think technology has made a lot of today’s artists lazy.

    Unless you have personally gone to a Beyoncé concert, you would believe that she lip sync but undeniably, she SINGS LIVE THE ENTIRE SHOW.

    After studying voice and performance, I’m aware of the techniques and how to tell if a performance is lip-syncing but Beyoncé certainly does not.

    Stamina is something that she’s worked on since she was 8,

  57. JUDAS666 August 11, 2011

    LIP SYNCING IS ONLY A JOKE WHEN A) YOU LIP SYNC TO SOMEONE ELSE’S VOCALS A LA MILLI VANILLI B) POOR LIP SYNCING AND LIP DANCING A LA BRITNEY SPEARS C) YOU CANT SING AT ALL AND YOUR VOCALS INVOLVE SOME LEVEL OF AUTO-TUNE.

    PRETTY MUCH THE TRUTH… NEXT!!

  58. d August 11, 2011

    BEYONCE IS NOT THE DANCER JANET IS, PLUS BEE HAVE DONE IT ALL THROUGH SHASA i NOTICED IT ON SINGLE LADIES, BEE IS MOVING AND CAN KEEP A CONSISTANCY, BUT JANET ON THE OTHERHAND HAVE YOU SEEN THAT IF PERFORMANCE WHAT BEE ROUTINE HAS EVR BEEN THAT HEAVY. SO BEE IS NOT MAKING IT HARD FOR EVERYONE. NO FEMALE PERFORMS ON JANETS LEVEL FOR 2 PLUS HOURS. AND JANET DOES SING SLOWER PARTS OF THE SHOW LIVE.

  61. SG3 August 11, 2011

    This practice is necessary for all around entertainers. Everyone uses it, even those who you may think do not, use it to a degree. I personally don’t care because a majority of these acts can deliver the same vocal peformance live need be (ex. Kelly Rowland Motivation, and Janet I Get Lonely). Both have lip these songs as well as song them live and stripped. Basically acts like that get a pass IMO.

    Now Britney, kesha, mofos like that…oh no they can’t even make the sounds that are on their songs let alone deliver it live. Thats all folks…

    Unless you have personally gone to a Beyoncé concert, you would believe that she lip sync but undeniably, she SINGS LIVE THE ENTIRE SHOW.

    After studying voice and performance, I’m aware of the techniques and how to tell if a performance is lip-syncing but Beyoncé certainly does not.

    Stamina is something that she’s worked on since she was 8,
    ————————————————————————————————————

    Yes, Beyonce does sing live at her concerts. I know everyone that hate for this woman to get credit (even when it’s something we all know she’s an expert at), but give it when it’s due. I’ve seen her in concert and Bey goes hard during the entire show. It’s Live!

    Still I believe everyone that is a great bring something to the table. It’s about being in your own lane. If your good at something, than that’s all that matters. If not, people will complain. I think those people that are upset people with their lipping haven’t been seen singing live for the last 10 years or simply look lazy doing so!

    I don’t think Beyonce lip-synchs.However, even if she does, she still can put on a good show, so I wouldn’t mind.I was there at her IASF tour and she was amazing, especially in the Ave Maria vocals and I don’t think she lip-synched it but at least, if she did, she executed it well and it wasn’t obvious, so it was still a proper live experience.

    “Why do ppl care about lip syncing? As long as the show is entertaining who cares?” LMAO. That’s ur opinion but I’ll never stan for anyone that lip syncs. It’s stupid to me when you’re supposed to be LIVE. Maybe for ppl like Britney is essential cuz her voice is weak.

  69. Yuh August 11, 2011

    If its done right, I dont think so. Theres are so many things that goes into entertainment. But when everything else is lacking (i.e. Britney Spears), its an embarassment. Beyonce is one person that does it exceptionally well.

  70. kimberly August 11, 2011

    To those who think Beyonce lips please Glastonbury does not allow lipsyncing just raw talent and Beyonce delivered all her songs live with energy and please check her intimate venues if you are still in denial. LIVE BABY. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE BUT THAT IS HER STRENGTH. SHE IS DAMN GOOD. Beyonce fans are not delusional. Why do you think she recorded her 4 vocals, based on her live voice idiots and not prerecorded.
    Who doesn’t know when a song is prerecorded. Do you see neck veins. To the haters please learn more about lip syncing, prerecording and live singing.
    I will repeat why did Glastonbury pick Beyonce to headline and close Glastonbury? No gimmicks, no lip-syncing, no prerecording. #DEAL. She is King. well rounded. Other artist need to focus on their live singing and then incorporate their movements if they can. Don’t take credit off one artist if your artist cannot do it. Britney, Janet, Ciara, Chris Brown, lip sync too much!!!!!!!!!!! Even lady gaga does her best!! Oh hell Rihanna struggles with her goat voice but then give her credit.
    Accept the fact that Janet vocals are just as bad as Britney they both should be back up singers and to think janet Is great because of The JACKSON. What else???
    Can someone name one electrifying entertainer today too rip a stage like Beyonce and I am proud to say it, I am proud to bring up her name and give her the praises due just like her peers, icons, legends, critics and her fans.

    @ Kimberly

    I love your comments, they are very true and very real! I agree with 95% of what you’ve said. I just can’t lump Janet and Britney in the same category (vocally). Noooooo! Perhaps Janet should bring live vocals to the forefront of her performances more often – but these ladies aren’t in the same boat at all. Janet didn’t use the Jackson name to claim her own fame. Looking back on her ‘Janet’ & ‘Velvet Rope’ era would make you think different. That’s another post for another day!… but, what your saying about Lady King B, is so on point!

  81. Lurker August 11, 2011

    I don’t think artists should lip synch. I don’t care if you have pre-recorded vocals or a backtrack during an intense dance routine but dont pretend to sing along. Just close your mouth. Beyonce’s live performances of Single Ladies is a perfect example. The entirety of the chorus she doesnt sing and doesnt pretend to. That doesn’t bother me one but.

    This disservice is the main reason some of my favorite artists are Pink, Jessie J, Sara Bareilles, Lady Gaga

    You don’t see much lip synching there.

    it completely depends. BeYAWNce lip synchs pre-recorded tracks constantly. Most recently her “live” vocals on the Run the World performances. NOW SOME OF YOU GHETTO RATS that don’t have HD tv don’t see it, but people with money that have HD you can see Rihanna squwking away “California King Bed” live on American Idol and then you can see BeYAWNce lipping it to “Run the World (Flop)” on that Oprah Special or Mariah trying to cover up her backing track on GMA “Stop singin my part now babayyyy”

  85. Them other chicks are superficial (queenbey) August 11, 2011

  86. MadonnaLover August 11, 2011

    @RoyalKev
    Please sit the F*** down. Madonna does not just “stand next to props” and do little dance moves. Almost ALL of the drowned world tour was in 2001 was LIVE, except for THIS performance,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-ekIM_z6yM which is more intricate than anything beyonce has ever done, LIPPING INCLUDED. PLEASE do not come for my fave. Sometimes lip synching is neccessary when you want to give the best show for your fans.

  87. AndySaysSmile August 11, 2011

    I have never been bothered by lip syncing, especially if it’s so the performer can put on a better show, because, I don’t know about you, but if I went to see someone live and they were out of breath and off key because they were dancing I’d be a little annoyed. To me, and I know a lot of people will disagree, Britney is a great performer. She performs some songs live on her tour, and sings the odd line in others but she relies heavily on a backing track. This is ok because she puts on a great show. Yes, she’s not the best singer in the world, and yes she can’t dance like she could, but she still puts a hell’a lot of effort into her performances! Even the visual is great so, it works for her. Beyonce is just super-human so she makes others appear weak in comparison. Everyone lip syncs once in a while. Get over it.

  88. Royalkev August 11, 2011

    @ Tiairra – Noone is saying that Beyonce has never lipped, if your in the music business you will on occassion. It could be necessary for many reasons, from not feeling well to focusing more on giving a performance that involves alot more physical energy. What people are pointing out is that Beyonce is known for her great Live performances (as well as her live singing). No matter what you’d like to take away from her, you have to credit her that. There’s being reasonable and then there’s just being downright delusional.

I never said madonnas vocals were the star of the show. that was never implied. but you tried it with my fave, and I f****** proved you wrong. Madonna is a professional dancer and an intricate performer. You f****** TRIED it. Please sit the f*** down, and stop putting words in my mouth.

  96. Loving “4” August 11, 2011

    Bey sings live with dancing. I think the full time lip synchers are using dancing as an excuse for limited vocal talent. They could do routines with the complex dance moves during breakdowns or the chorus where backtracks or backup singers are mainly delivering that portion of the song. In other words if you are not capable of combining all of the elements by working choreography around some substantial amount of live singing incorporated in the song, issue a disclaimer for those who want to save their money for singers who SING!

    Not a good look….

  102. it should be a crime August 11, 2011

    Lipsyncing should become ILLEGAL at some point, in my opinion. In a near future, artists caught lip-syncing should pay huge fines, each and every time, in the thousands of dollars!

    I don’t care if you have to sing and dance at the same time. Do NOT lip-synch.

    “Singers” shouldn’t even be dancing hard in the first place. Let your backup dancers do that.

    If you are more of a dancer than a singer, then LEAVE THE MIC ALONE AND STOP RELEASING STUPID-SOUNDING ALBUMS.

    That’s my opinion.

    (By the way, I am very well aware that ALL of my favorite vocalists of all time have used some lip-syncing before, at least once. And it’s okay. I just think it would be great if lip-syncing became forbidden.)

  103. MadonnaLover August 11, 2011

    I really appreciate beyknight in the earlier comments showing respect to my fave. I know beyonce by far is a better singer than my momma pop, but thats not really the point.

    The problem is when artist do it so often it becomes a trademark. That is all they are known for. EXAMPLE BRITNEY. The b**** is famous for that!! her fans know that. When I think of certain artist in concert I think of lots of colors, smoke, lots of objects, no live singing, why is this. This is because that is all they do and has not proved the industry wrong at all.
    To those who insist Beyonce and gaga use pre recordings , have your way but In a building with the voice which soars and echos in my ears from the back and the roof a building does seem to be recordings at all. If you think they do, it ok but don’t fool yourself . They are not known for lipsyncing at all. She is known for her intense stage performances and presence, raw talent and professionalism etc. When you have stars all over flipping for your live performances god damn it have to be something magical right? A lot of people mistake the effect of Beyonce backup singers with pre reordings. Have you heard her backup singers???? Don’t be mistaken they are not just standing there lip syncing to prerecording neither. Don’t you think that would be a waste of money to pay them for every performance? If you have not experience her live please do?

  113. T August 11, 2011

    I agree… As long as the overall SHOW PACKAGE is intense and entertaining…. I have no problem with it.

    For some artists I’d actually almost rather they lip sync because otherwise their shows would be atrocious.

    The thing about it.. Is that there’s an art to lip syncing.

    Now people like Britney who are notorious for just lipping the song straight from the CD.. That’s shameful. When there’s a live band a nice routines and a pre-recorded “live” version it usually makes for a great showing.

    I know a lot of people won’t agree with this, but if you listen carefully Beyonce lip syncs sometimes… BUT obviously given her already proven talent and high powered dance routines she can do that.

    Look back at DC performances of LOSE MY BREATH, or her DeJa Vu performance from the BET awards, or even recently to GIRLS RUN THE WORLD… The vocal sounds live, but if you pay close attention its not.

    SO i said all that to say, if it”s done right.. I think its okay!

  114. VA STAND UP!! August 11, 2011

    LMAO at ‘neccessary evil’. Ya’ll are sooo dramatic sometimes. Well at least MOST people in her are giving logical responses and not just using this as an opportunity to bash artist they don’ t like. *side eye*

    Anywho, I was watching MTV Jams yesterday and they were showing a lot of past performances from the VMA’s from like the early 2000’s to present and it seems as if most if not damn near ALL the performers were lip synching. Janet, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Diddy & Breezy they all were lip synching their performances. But they all gave great performances with high energy dance routines so they did their job of entertaining us.

    For the most part at Award shows you want a ‘show’ from these performers. You hear the songs they perform on the radio all the time so when you see them live you want something more than just singing. Certain performers like Usher, Chris, Britney & Janet you expect high energy peformances from them. Seeing them ‘just sing’ would be weird.

    If you are a rapper, or just a ‘singer’ and you do no choreogrpahy I think it is expected for you to ‘rap’ or ‘sing’ live. You aren’t doing any choreography on stage that would prohibit you from singing so unless you are sick you are expected to sing live. I can also understand some artist who have been on tour and need to rest their vocals
    would have to lip synch as well. Doing shows every other night several times a week can really damage your vocals so you have to give them a break from time to time.

    Sometimes I think even certain shows and programs require the performers to lip synch such as ‘DWTS’ so they won’t have any technical difficulties. Sometimes their performances are pre-recorded and they just air them and call it ‘live’. Not the performers fault.

    I was just watching some of CB’s performances on Youtube the other day and I’ve seen many performances where he sung live & danced at the same time. He only lip synchs when he has high energy dance routines. Like at this past BET Awards where he sang live to ‘She Ain’t You’ & rapped his part to ‘LAMN’ and then he moved into a high energy dance routine. He got his ‘vocal’ portion out of the way and then he gave his all in his dance routine. I don’t mind it & I understand it cause we know he will give a good show. He always sings live to his ballads such as ‘With You’, “Take You Down’, “No BS, ‘Crawl’, ‘No Air’. I’ve seen him sing live in concert & on TV ( i.e. BET Haiti SOS event, Christmas at the White House special) so he has proven himself as a vocalist who is capable of live singing. If you don’t believe me Youtube is your friend!

    Even though Kelly Rowland lip synched during her BET Awards performance she put on a damn good show! If you are going to lip synch make sure everything else is on point!!

    Rihanna may not lip synch but I wish she would cause live she sounds a mess. She is either screaming or missing damn near every note there is in the song. I think the reason why Britney is blasted so much is because she is sooo bad at it. It’s so obvious and she has become such a lazy performer now. She doesn’t even give her all in her choreography so her shows & live performances are always awful! She is a shell of her former self.

    Beyonce is basically just a freaking phenomenon who can do it all, even though at times she tends to scream rather than sing. I do remember at the Oscars a while back she lip synched when she did this routine with Hugh Jackman. It was a good performance though and they didn’t make it obvious. They were probably required to lip synch as well.

    All in all, everyone has done it and it is expected at times. It’s not ‘evil’ but it is neccessary. The main thing that we should be expecting from these aritst is that they entertain us.

Her shows tell STORIES, her performances tell STORIES, her performances are not just the same ol thing that beyonce does, and that she does do well. This is why madonna is a legend. skipping around? what do you expect madonna to do at 52, break out into a booty rump shaking choreography? she’s not beyonce, she’s not an urban artist. She’s a proffesional dancer and the choreograpgy that she did in the middle? I bet you beyonce couldnt do that. And frozen? boring? thats because your used to beyonce, but I appreciate CREATIVITY. That performance is more creative than anything beyonce has ever done. Thats why I STAN for her. madonna gives her fans the best.

    @Madonna Lover I am a huge Madonna stan and I will be honest she is not a “Dancer” nor a “Singer” her strength is in her music and her visuals(Music Videos, Tours), reinvention (Her looks and fashion). I love Madonna so much but you don’t have to post all these videos up here to prove anything cause we all know what Madonna is capable of doing. Oh, and far comparing her to Beyonce. I am NOT A BEYSTAN but when it comes to overall talent…Beyonce WINS and is most likely a threat to Madonna. #justsaying

    @ Madonna Lover – My dear are those videos backing up your case or mine? You are asking me to watch clips of Madonna “performing” (BTW, that’s the only true way to hurt my feelings) and then claiming that Bey can’t top it. Madonna is moving at the speed of a zombie in most of that clip. Madonna IS creative (the woman made people believe she’s a dancer), but seriously she does have great concepts! That’s her strength and I would never argue against that. Now, don’t act as if Madonna can’t do actual choreo because she’s too creative to and not urban! WTF. Gaga’s artistic and she does… Britney, Christina and Janet’s not urban and they do. Madonna has always done as much as she could handle. In her 80 years she hasn’t done any rump shaking (but she’s done urban music). So wasn’t she suppose to then? Beyonce will always cancel her out! Janet’s 45 and if you see her turn it up in concert, you’d think she was 25!

    Beyonce is no threat to madonna. I like beyonce, but she has nothing on her talent wise. madonna can play the violin, electric guitar, acoustic guitar and synthesiszer (piano) , she has written her own music, and has directed 2 movies. The only thing beyonce has over madonna is the voice and “dancing” (in your opinion) but im sorry, I will continue to post videos showing what madonna is capable of. She was supposed to be a dancer. Thats what she was trained to be. She’s a proffesional dancer. She’s not janet jackson, beyonce, OR birtney, she’s madonna and her style of dancing is different than theirs but that does not mean she cant dance.

    I don’t mind it when someone is really out there working it, dancing their asses off but I kinda hate seeing poorly performed lip-synching, when they forget to put the mic up to their mouths, etc. At least do it well! In all honesty though, if gaga doesn’t lip synch and she dances, a lot of people should be doing it also. It’s really hard to do though without any major flaw. Like sometimes watching Usher perform makes me uncomfortable because his breathing will be all labored…. I’m usually thinking that he should just lip synch.

    And MJ could do whatever he wanted because by the time he was a megastar, he’d been doing real live vocals for years. I’m also not a fan of really loud backing tracks though, that’s essentially like singing to a CD where your flaws can be somewhat hidden but the singer can still say they sang live. Singing with just a band or instrumental is much harder than that.

  142. Spunkypoop August 11, 2011

    Madonna would tell you she would always auditioned and get cut because she wasn’t good enough. Madonna went to that school for a week and dropped out; Does that make her a professional dancer because she went to school for a week? I don’t think so. Madonna has many strengths and ‘dancing’ is not one of them, in fact her dancers are the one’s that make her shows sooo spectacular. Do you agree?

    As for, Beyonce….She sings okay we all know that, too me her ‘dancing’ is superb. I am always inspired by her movements. She sings, dances, acts, writes, produces, plays instruments too, and she is a hell of a performer. Need I say more and I don’t even like her like that.

    And to me, dancing is one of her strengths. I dont care what Madonna says out her mouth, she almost always doubts herself. She is an incredible dancer. Alot of the moves she does, others CANT. I dont care what anyone says. So, i’m done trying to prove myself.

    10 reasons why people need to stop hating on Beyonce:

    1. She has crossover appeal as a black female artist.
    2. She puts on a good show.
    3. Bey and Jay are a beautiful representation of black love.
    4. She gives back.
    5. She is dedicated to empowering women.
    6. She works hard.
    7. She’s humble.
    8. She celebrates her curves.
    9. She never resorts to gossip.
    10. She’s a business, man!

  154. KINGBEYONCELOVER August 11, 2011

    It’s true that she doesn’t have the best voice we’ve ever heard and isn’t the best dancer we’ve ever seen, but as a package, Beyoncé wins! She’s talented, beautiful, ambitious, hard-working and meticulous about her image. And umm, have you seen her perform?! She is hands down one of the greatest entertainers of our generation. She isn’t perfect but appreciate her for what she does bring to the table.

  155. Anne August 11, 2011

    @MADONNALOVER “The only thing beyonce has over madonna is the voice and ‘dancing’…” You can’t say ‘only’ when referring to ‘voice’ b/c that’s the most important factor! I hate to enter this debate since I happen to be a huge fan of both Madonna and Beyonce (grew up with Madonna as my favorite female all-around entertainer and now as an adult I appreciate Bey as a huge talent, arguably the best all-around entertainer of today). But, I have to honestly say that although I agree Beyonce is no threat to Madonna b/c Madonna’s position as the Queen of Pop is a wrap (fully cemented), Bey is on a much higher level with vocals and choreography. With vocals being the MAIN focus for recording artists (at least it should be) it is no doubt that Beyonce has the upper hand performance-wise. Madonna may be the Queen of Pop, but I think Queen Bey has fully earned the crown for the Queen of the Stage.

    I never win with people on madonna. Every fan I know of madonna have said she is an incredible dancer. But I guess, when i’m competing by myself with no help from true fans like myself who see the greatness in madonna, I get stomped all over. Im a f****** hardcore madonna fan. Seeing madonna on stage, inspires me so much. her personal shows are even more intimate, and they arent “boring”. she commands a stage even when theres no background dancers. I know from experience. I had a chance to see her promoting american life, and it was one of the most inspiring intimate shows Ive ever been to. I’d say, Im done proving, because everytime I try and prove something, i’m shot down with the notion that madonna is mediocore. I’m not a child, I’m a young aduld, I’ve grew up with madonna. As much as you love beyonce, I love madonna. And it sucks when people cant see how much talent she has.

  158. REALTALK 101 August 11, 2011

    Let me break it down to some of yall. Some people have earned the right to take a song or 2 off. Like the great MJ who has been singing live since he was 9. Dude has 2 live albums under his belt, one when he was a kid and the other with his brothers and there wasnt no lip syncing going on. Beyonce, X-Tine and C-Breezy are other artist that have clearly shown us that they are the real deal. Janet, MaDonna, Britney, etc are studio artist that have never gotten beyond lipping. Janet get’s props for being great at it and innovative for the great dance moves and pre-recorded versions but Britney just doesnt give a damn no more.

  159. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN August 11, 2011

    I dont agree with so called singers who lip sync and do it non stop through their careers. I could name a few, but i dont need too. Music is for the ears.. not eyes. That’s why we have such crap singers now, cause a lot of artists are more like dancers then singers.

  160. MadonnaLover August 11, 2011

    @anne no..it’s not
    the reason why I became a fan of madonna is because of her passion, her determanation, and her talent as an all around artist. Having just a voice dosent cut it. Madonna’s not just a singer, she’s a musician. She’s an incredible songwriter. She has proven herself to be more than just a recording artist. Dont get me wrong, beyonce is great, but me being able to see madonna live, she has nothing on madonna. the opening of the confessions tour is one of the most exquisite, intricate, amazing breathtaking things I’ve ever saw in my entire young adult life. It was amazing. Also, seeing her dance is amazing. To me its great. Not everyone has the same taste. I think its very unfair to put down madonnas dancing considering beyonce and madonna are two different types of dancers. The “zombie” moving royal kev and spunky poof called out on madonna, is very hard to do. Its called the argentine tango. You wont catch beyonce doing that, and you wont catch madonna doing the RTW choreography either.

  161. Spunkypoop August 11, 2011

    I am true Madonna fan to the fullest. I just don’t think she is an excellent dancer anymore, I used to think that until It was brought to my attention and I started watching older videos and I had to come to the realization that she really isn’t a dancer. It’s okay! She still one of the worlds biggest entertainers and the “oldest” one to ever do it. (just kidding) XoxO

  162. Anne August 11, 2011

    CLARIFICATION: I grew up with Madonna as my favorite FEMALE all-around entertainer. Prince was and always will be my favorite all-around of all-time PERIOD, with Bey being my favorite current female all-around entertainer.

    It’s alright, we’ll just agree to disagree. As you know madonna is very very special to me. lol, it kinda hits a nerve when people downplay her talent and abilities.

  165. Anne August 11, 2011

    @MADONNALOVER, I think you are making a lot of good points and I agree on some level w/ some but I never said that having a great voice ALONE is enough, I said it is the main factor and should never be labeled as ‘only.’ Anyway I agree that Madonna has always been great at dancing, she dances from the heart and I love her voice, her songs (“Borderline” is my all- time fav by her), and her on stage performances. I just think that Beyonce as well performs from the heart and gives it her all just like Madonna. The thing is, although BOTH are great, Bey is on a whole different & much higher level vocally and has a bit more rhythm associated with her choreography so Bey has the upper-hand performance wise.

    beyonce NEVER lip synchs. I mean, never! If anyone has proof to contradict me, please send me the link cause i have downloaded like 150 of her performances and I have never heard her lip synch. she knows how to balance singing and dancing. she usually doesn’t sing the chorus of her songs if she has to do a high-energy number. this woman is unbelievable live. she has a raw talent and a work ethic that are out of this world.
    gaga, as well, doesn’t lip synch. whoever tells you the contrary soesn’t have a good ear.
    for me, these two ladies are the real deal because they do what they are supposed to do. entertain us and do their job. a performer like britney spears should take notes. i will personally never spend $100 to see an ‘artist’ who is paid to lip sunch. i don’t care about the elabote dancing, the lights and all those secondary stuff. if you are a singer, you’re supposed to sing. that’s what you’re paid for! i think in the 00’s people got used to average singers and the new generation consider it ok to lip synch. up until the 90’s you could still be amazed at someone’s talent and that really made you want to go out and buy their record. not anymore.

Im sure you cant. also, another one of her biggest hits, express yourself, is on displau, HANDWRITTEN in the rock n roll hall of fame, as well as erotica.y

    beyonce never lip syncs she has backing singers but she always sings live, search the interent ypu wll never find a video of her performing and everytime she performs a song it always sounds slightly different! iv been to her cpncerts one recently in london, an intimate one and you can hear her breathe/ taking breaths whilst singing. she uses her voice all the time hense the fact why she lost her voice. one proof is glastonbury!!!

    @LOL, So technically you’re saying you’re not talented if you cannot sing live every single time? Well, technically voices are made to communicate not to be used as an high-pitched instrument. Take a look at Mariah Carey’s voice for example. She now has no choice but to use lip-syncing as an option due to the strain and tear on her vocal chords. Michael Jackson lip-synced during a performance while injured in a chair (i.e: http://youtu.be/PD6uz7BrBvU) with little to no choreography… does that make him less talented in your eyes now? People like you make statements with no integrity nor proof behind them. The whole point I’m trying to make is lip-syncing is acceptable in some not all cases. Don’t belittle my statement when one of the greatest entertainers in history condones it.

    @MADONNALOVER-

    Im quite sure if QUEENBEY wanted to learn how to do a mediocre performance with a guitar she could.

    But she spends her time perfecting her craft….. Her VOICE 😉

  182. pop royalty (RUDE BOY) August 11, 2011

    @JAMIR21 :

    lip-syncing is ONLY allowed if the artist is involved in a complex choreography ! but if she/he was a singer ! she should try to sing ! LMFAO ! how you are supposed to be a singer and u can not sing live ?!!!! 🙄 !

    @queenbey
    Madonna is not mediocore when it comes to the guitar. Im sure beyonce would have a hard time learning how to do it, but madonna did it in a matter of weeks. Yeah, beyonces “craft” is her voice and stage. thats all she has. Madonna has so much more.

  184. Bobby Bulgaria August 11, 2011

    Wow, there are STILL people who think Beyonce DOESN’T lipsync while she’s “dancing”…???

    Hello??? Wake up, people… That COMA is not good for you…

    @MADONNALOVER-

    Ok, I guess……

  186. nice_gurl August 11, 2011

    Lip-synching is not good. If the performance requires a lot of dancing, then live vocals should be used on top of a backing track or just show that you are not actually singing. An example of this is when Beyonce performed Video Phone on the world tour. She had the song playing, but did not have a microphone, so she was not fake singing. And definitely no lip-synching if doing a ballad.

    britney is a real singer
    she always sing live in the femme fatale tour and in the others world tours to

  188. Nastybreakdown August 12, 2011

    wow @ usin IF from da Velvet Rope Tour…of all performances of any artist u kould have used, u used one of janet’s best performances EVER! Singin to a Pre-recorded track is necessary. Lets see anybody do a routine like IF and sing it completely live and sound even half decent, NONE of your favs could do it (Bey included). S*** MJ sang to the album cut for majority of the HIStory tour, and he’s the greatest entertainer period, so yea…

    アジア杯のジョーダン 通販上の惨敗は私達を中国のサッカーの立ち後れることがはっきり見えさせて、日本のサッカーはすでジョーダン スニーカーにみごとに世界に向かいました。アジア杯の(以)後で、pumaは日の本文で霊感の2足のサッカーシューズに変わることを出しました――PWR-C1.10 TokyoとV1.10 Kanji。PWR-C1.10 Tokyoは東京街頭の文化を霊感にして、下手な字を書く方法は日本語の“東京”の印を白色の靴の表面の上にあります。V1.10 Kanjiの中Kanjiは日本ナイキ ジャケット語の“漢字”の意味です。設計者は漢字の“高速”の印を靴の表面の上で、際立っているV1.10のスピードは思います。哀れみを誘うのは中国の文化の代表の漢字にするのが意外にも日本の文化の元素にして今回の付けてはいけない設計の霊感の出所になったのなのadidas ジャケットです。見たところサッカーシューズの領域にもっと多い発言権を持ちたくて、中国のサッカーの後れているレベルは最大の妨害です。
