I am so sick of so called ‘singers’ lip synching. These people are not singers, they are performers. If you can’t sing live you shouldn’t be singing at all.
Britney Spears, Beyonce and Destiny’s Child, Ashlee Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff, Usher and 50 Cent. They all lip synch. Britney, Usher, Beyonce and the DC girls blame there vigorous dance routines for they’re lip synching. There’s an easy solution to that, don’t dance so much. If you can’t sing while dancing you have no right to call yourself a singer. Christina Aguilera sings live and dances. Not as much as Britney and the others, but enough to put on a good show.
The rest blame throat problems or illness. I’m sorry, but you can’t be sick ALL THE TIME. If you’re sick pull out of whatever commitments you have. Otherwise don’t make silly excuses.
Lip synching completely ruins a performance. It takes away the energy of a live performance. It’s so disappointing when you go to a concert and realize you could have just stayed at home and listened to the CD.
