Whatever happened to the days where people weren't so cynical about whether or not an artist lip-synchs? Maybe it's just this new generation?
This is the post-Milli Vanilli generation.
To be frank, Janet always re-records songs she's gonna sing live in every year she hosts her concerts. So what? Least she ain't singing to no 1986 back tracks.
Gotta admit though, the illusion is great. She's had 20+ years practicing the lip synching so she has it down to a science to the point you can't tell.
Well i think there is NO EXCUSE for lip syncing all of her show - especially the ballads section. As a fan it is really embarassing if she does do that.
as a fan its not... i don't expect janet to dance and sing.... its one or the other... even MJ was quilty of lip syncing and he used the back tracks... he didn't even pre-record it....
anyways... its not that serious... i rather see her dance well and sing to a pre-recorded track then barely move and sing live....

but she was lip synching during the slow parts too.
i guess it's just a matter of preference. I rather live.

Some of it was lip-synched, not all. It totally didn't detract from the magic of the show.
why cant people just let janet be great? her show is getting nothing but rave reviews, every critic has said she sings most of the show live, if she's not then she is obviously doing a damn good job lip syncing, why would her own fans try so hard to find something negative to complain about?i was at the ny show friday and she was great, everybody had a great time and there were no complaints where i was.
Gotta go with Sean and other people that have been "up close and personal" during these performances. Sometimes Janet is lipsynching and at other times--especially for the ballads--she is singing live to a backing track. Either way, I am really looking forward to seeing her twice in April.

The only live part about the ballad section is when she turned the mic to the audience.
U people need to stop this lip synching crap. Janet is not lip synching through the slow songs...Geez!
will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P.
So delusional. Janet hasn't sung her ballads live on tour since the AFY tour. Janet is lip syncing the ballad section and you'll get over it.
It's funny when fans refuse to admit it. The evidence is right in front of your fucking face.
But really though, How can you guys tell if she's lip syncing. Does it sound different?
I honestly cant tell.
No, she doesn't sound different If you listen to clips from different shows they all sound the same and that includes the ad-libs. Also when she does speak live you can hear the distinction between her live voice and pre-recorded vocals. Totally different. Most of the fans claiming it's live are just saying that because they want it to be. But in reality it's not. She's just that good at lipping.

Damn!
Coming from a huge fan, She shouldn't be doing that When she sitting down and singing.
( And what is it with the pink Gown? Shit looks terrible. I'm sorry I had to get that off my chest )
Now I can Understand if she's dancing, And when I say dancing I dont mean Fricken headbanging, I mean JANET QUALITY DANCING. Like what I saw at the VMA awards back in '09.
She Still has it, She better bring it if Ima be working overtime for this show

Is this Ciara???

Janet is definitely singing live here. She would never step on stage especially on a tour after her brother passed and lip sync through a ballad of all things. MJ is rolling in his grave at these false accusations of his equally talented sister....LEAVE JANET ALONE!

No, she's NOT. You can't be this delusional sayin that. Janet stepped on a stage right after her brother passed and lipped. Did you not watch the VMAs 2009 performance?
Janet has lipped her ballads several times. This isn't the first.
LMFAO at MJ rolling in his grave over false accusations on Janet. He lipped too so I'm sure he's not rolling over.
That's right, start red herring because you can't dispute the truth. So predictable
if it bothers you so much you should just not go to the show instead of getting into this debate everytime somebody post that they enjoyed the show.
Who are you? and where did I say it bothered me? Quit with the pity assumptions. I'm just correcting the deluded buffons in here that think Janet Jackson is singing live.

Well, some of us think you are deluded for thinking that she is singing EVERY song with lip-synching! I think she does some lip-synching and sings live for the ballads. But in the end, no one's opinion matters. I will find out for myself in April. I still think that, unless you were there in person, you don't really have any standing in commenting on it....

Did you even bother watching clips of her other shows? I mean, you do consider yourself a fan, correct? If you have ears and sense you'd understand that her vocals sound the same for every song. I've yet to see a performance where she sounds completely different from the previous. They're all the same. This also can be noted in other tours. And yes, her ballads are lipped. Then again you probably didn't bother to watch the side by side youtube doubler I posted in the other thread of her vocals sounding exactly the same as another one.
No you won't find out in April. You will go, come back and say she sung live when she really didn't because she has you and many other fans fooled. The pre-recorded vocals is to create an illusion that she's singing live. You and many other fans don't seem to grasp that. By the way, you don't have to see someone live to know that they're lipping, lol.
I mean, it's nothing new that Janet lips so I don't understand some of you are acting like she's singing live when she's a pro at lipping.
Gotta admit though, the illusion is great. She's had 20+ years practicing the lip synching so she has it down to a science to the point you can't tell.

I agree. If she wants to have a real tour then she should probably put effort into giving a live performance, not a fake one. But she'll be stuck doing theaters if she continues giving half-assed shows like she is now.

No, Truetopian, I did bother to watch many clips from Janet's current concerts and I disagree with you. From what I have seen, including your clips, which I already saw, I am still stating that she is singing live for certain songs and lipsynching on other ones. But, in saying this, I feel that I am stating something that you will never agree with. And, I will not agree with you, because my perception is different from your own. So, why don't we just agree to disagree at this point and move on with the discussion on the thread? Even if someone thinks that Janet is lipsynching for the entire concert, everyone is enjoying the experience. I think that she is not lipsynching the entire time; you do. So what? Let us move on...

By the way, why can't the people in here claiming she's singing live provide proof? I've posted links and videos. Yet none of you did the same to point where Janet's voice sounded different.

Which songs is she singing live? I'd like for you to be more specific so I can inform you that you're truly incorrect. I'm not just saying this for shits and giggles. Janet's whole show is lipped and I don't understand why others on here can't seem to acknowledge that. And it's not taking anything away from Janet since she has admitted to lipping in the past. But I guess some people have bad hearing.

On the other hand, there are those of us who don't understand why you don't see and hear that some of these songs aren't lipsynched! So, I don't understand why you just won't agree to disagree on this. BTW why is it so important to you anyway?!! :sincerely puzzled:

Again, why can't you post proof of your claims? What makes it sound live to you? Which songs? I'd like to know so post some proof.
