If her voice is so wonderful...Why does she always lip-synch? That's some artificial shit....And does NOTHING for her credibility.

She has credibility?

So that the vocals sound good.




Of course.




Next up:-

Why does Mariah sing at all?

She lip-synchs her Euro TV appearances because almost all of those shows require the artist to mime their stuff. Top Of The Pops is compulsory, I believe. Anyway, where did she lip synch in America?

When does she lip-sync? Is it during her TV performances? I've never heard of her lip-syncing during concerts.

GMA and David Letterman were not lip-synched.

VoicesCarry said:

uh...i believe top of the pops is compulsory* live.

it used to be all-synch but that changed a few years back.



*they do sometimes (relatively rarely) have synching even now, but it's not the norm.

Unless it's changed in the last few months - i ain't seen the show for a while.

TheFrog said:

Is that because there's about one good song per show?

it is shit, huh.

Haven't seen much of it lately. I think it changed a while back when the new format was launched and they acts weren't allowed to lip-synch but I think its all back to lip-synching now - probably cause most of the acts can't hold a note

tho' there was a girly rock band a couple of weeks ago who i thought were pretty good. not to mention a good & cute young drummer.

the faders, i think they were called?

TheFrog said:

That's being generous.

there is no doubts about her vocal abilities but she is such a stuck-up bitch that a lot of people cant listen to her anymore.

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that it is so much more hassle for the BBC to do a live set than a lip-synched one..

For a live set, all the instruments need to be mic'ed up and the levels all set and balanced and then it has to be post-mixed afterwards so it sounds good, etc etc blah blah blah...whereas a lip-synched set is just a case of slapping the record on over the top, bish bosh, job done.

She sings all her shows live in America, but she mimed "It's like that" on her euro promo because some of those shows req it and also she wasn't on vocal rest while promoting in euro (she only sings after she's had vocal rest)..just saying cause you aksed so don't spam me!

It's all back to lip-synching now. A few years ago it wasn't, and Kylie was doing live performances there. But they changed it again.

Cloudbuster said:

You know the rest

VoicesCarry said:

really? i apologise voicescarry - thought they still were.

which means that the young band that were on a few weeks ago were synching, which is awful!

what's worse, is that i didn't notice!

TheFrogSpawn said:

Well did you see Ashlee Simpson's hilarious "performance" of La La?

Anyway, they're allowed to use any vocal track they like. Some of them rerecord it for their Euro promo tours, others just use the radio edit.

Ummm...She lip-synchs her ass off in "concert"....Just like Usher & Beyonce.....

Maybe she lipsynchs because, since her chest became so massive and bulbous in recent years, she can't expand her ribcage anymore like she used to to get the breath she needs to hit those notes she used to.

So you've been to her shows? All the clips from her concerts I've ever seen were obviously live. Tell me on which tour she faked it.
