Saw her a few years back intimate mode and yes 95 percent was mimed. Quite dissapointed.

I've only ever seen Janet once, on the Number Ones Tour. Sadly 99 percent was mimed. I think she just sang half of one song, but I can't remember which.

It was great to see her but rather disappointing.

I'm looking forward to the Unbreakable Tour in March 2016, but sadly I fear most of the show will be mimed.

Saw her on her All For You tour. Of course she lip syncs, but I didn't go to actually hear her sing, I went to be entertained by her stage act.

I didn't see her "live," but I saw her "in person," and that was good enough.

Definitely lip syncs. She's pretty good at disguising it, with the "live" re-recordings of tracks for her tours, as well as stopping abruptly to motion to the sound man to turn up her mic, even though she's not singing into it. It's all rehearsed and part of the act.

That said, it doesn't really matter to me. Her shows are about her inimitable charisma and attitude, and the dancing. She gives you all of the hits, as well. I always show up for Janet, and never leave disappointed.

I remember reading a review from a tour in the mid-90s where she broke down in tears during a song. The big question was: was it real or not? Turned it wasn't. She did it every night. So if her singing is as real as her tears... I wouldn't spend one cent on a JJ concert.

Not this same old question again? She lip-syncs just about everything whether in concert or performing on an awards show. Janet has some good songs and very catchy songs, but she has average talent when it comes right down to it.

People go to see Janet and also Britney to Entertain not sing. Hard to sing with all that dancing. She's been lip syncing for years. The song she broke down was Again, which she did at every show. razz.

It wasn't for the...

Temptations

The Pips, with Gladys Knight,

Little Richard

James Brown

or pretty much an other R&B/ Soul / Funk band. When you have the voice and the talent to do both... it gets done without any issue.

I saw her from the front row, and no she wasn't! At least at my show. She had a headset mic, and sat down with a handheld mic. I was so up close I could see when she styled the microphone away to cough! To anyone else it looked like she was dancing, but I looked right up into her throat from my seat!

I've never seen her live, but I don't see why she would lip sync the whole thing. Maybe the very uptempo dance songs, but there's no reason why she couldn't sing the ballads and mid tempos of which she has a lot.

You can't really compare her to Britney, she's a much better singer than Britney.

If you believe Janet lip syncs, do you also believe she is lying about needing vocal rest?
