Live "Performance" or Not? Can a major performer really be THIS bad?

[kirksnosehair]

If real, holy cow!

Supposedly the isolated feed from her microphone.  Can she really be THAT terrible?


I'm wondering if this is faked?


What caught my eye is the video from about 1:00 to 1:20 or so, when she has the cowboy hat on, her lips don't really seem to be matching up to the words being sung? 




The whole thing kinda reminds me of this one:

Might be real, but I have no reason to believe it is.

I am guessing that the feed from the mic is not the one being fed to the audience, but she simply sings along anyway since it might be more difficult to lip synch, meaning she gets more into the show and her dancing by actual singing.  But considering her shows obviously center around the dancing and whatnot on stage, it is no surprise that she would be out of breath singing (as most of us would). 

In other words, she is not lip synching, per se, but a pre-recorded track is what the crowd hears.  I don't see the problem with that, since no one wants to hear an out-of-breath singer.  This feed here was probably leaked on to the 'net by someone in her camp.

Vince Neil that fat fuck.

I dunno, Lady Gaga seems to pull it off.

You know, that's actually pretty much the same thing I was thinking too.  I mean, realistically speaking, you'd have to be almost super-human to be able to sing correctly, on pitch, on time, for every word, every note, etc...while dancing and running around like she does.

[KevShmev]

She probably works out non-stop, to be able to do it.  Bono usually does a good job of singing pretty well despite being active all over the stage.  I remember him doing a sprint around the circular stage just before he starts singing in Where the Streets Have No Name (cannot remember if it was the Elevation or Vertigo tour).

Plus, this is from '09; isn't that when she was gonna through a lot of personal crap?

[Adami]

Which just goes to show that Lady Gaga rocks.

Yes she does 

[KevShmev]

Heh.  She's stil in her mid 20s.  Let me know if she can still pull it off when she hits 40+ (like Bono and Peter Gabriel did).

No matter how much running around Bono does, I doubt he's doing half the stuff Gaga is doing.

This. That man runs, jumps, dips, dives, and climbs shit, and manages to not even be out of breath, and he's 54.

Okay, but Bono never lip syncs, unlike Gaga, who can deny it all she wants, but has been caught doing it (or singing quietly underneath a backing track, which acts as the lead during or after a particularly exhausting routine on stage).  Not that it is that big a deal, but at least freaking own it.  U2 uses backing tracks (usually musical ones) sometimes, usually for some of the 90s stuff that is layered with overdubs and electronics and whatnot, but they would never deny it.

I thought it was pretty much a given that all of today's corporate-created pop "stars" were talentless lip synchers?

I have no idea who "today's" pop singers are since I'm very out of the loop, but people like Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga and a bunch of others are actually quite talented.

[KevShmev]

Nope.  Most of it might not be my cup of tea, but to just lump them all together and call them talentless is unfair.

[SeRoX]

Pop music is not my cup of tea either but there are some good voices you just love no matter what.

Anastacia, Christina Aguilera and Beyonca have really nice and strong voice. Their live performances are amazing too.

This.  You read a lot about these pop shows being lip synched, but there was a poll recently that showed most people going to them prefer lip synching.  The spectacle and what not is the show.  She's probably just singing along for her own sake, not trying to perform.

Thats true. Look at Whitney Houston who didnt lip synch but got shit for not hitting notes.

[Cedar redaC]

Yeah, Bruce Dickinson is a real trooper.
