Despite Elton's big mouth claiming Madonna lip synchs her shows a few years ago, she's still selling out shows 2 years later. People respect her as a performer whether you do or not. Her last tour she mimed 3 out of the 22 songs performed, yes we were all robbed.

And how can you compare this to Milli Vanilli? Madonna or Janet didn't have other vocalists sing their songs. I swear, you people like to dish at these performers without hard facts. At least research your claims before you make an ass of yourself. lol


I heart you


Thanks. hug

I honestly don't know why i bother, it's a lost cause and people are going to believe whatever they want.

Very true...no way will I pay to see someone perform off tracks...Madonna has robbed people for years...and still doing it. Janet needs tracks also...she just doesn't have the pipes. I can only listen to her for 5 minutes tops. What they are doing live is just a notch above Milli Vanilli.


Yeah she's been robbing people for 25 years yet they continue to pay big money to see her. rolleyes
People aren't interested in Janet's or Madonna's voices as much as the spectacle thay put on. It's not a rock and roll concert and it's more theatrical.

Despite Elton's big mouth claiming Madonna lip synchs her shows a few years ago, she's still selling out shows 2 years later. People respect her as a performer whether you do or not. Her last tour she mimed 3 out of the 22 songs performed, yes we were all robbed.

And how can you compare this to Milli Vanilli? Madonna or Janet didn't have other vocalists sing their songs. I swear, you people like to dish at these performers without hard facts. At least research your claims before you make an ass of yourself. lol


No ass here...again, I don't pay to see lipsyncing...."A notch above Milli Vanilli" means that they are considered "studio created singers"....Madonna and Janet because of their lack of vocal skills have any number of effects put on their voices in the studio to help them hit their notes. In a way it is an entirely different voice than the one they actually have....in laymans terms: Yes...you were robbed...if you need further assistance... please dial 911.

You mean all this time I should have been listening to "real" singers like Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand. D'oh!

wait a minute..both janet and madonna gave great performances on the Oscars.

and oscar has a "live" requirement...so sure, they arent the greatest singers but they do have vocal stylings that work for them...when they use them.

Are you referring to Janet's performance of "Again" at the Oscars. I'm sorry but I have to disagree with you. She was terrible. I remember she made a motion to lower the sound, and she was struggling and signing off tune. I remember they were talking about it on the radio the next day that it was bad.
