      @@laurabalconi4267 negli anni passati, soprattutto negli 80', Sanremo era di frequente tutto in playback. Era tutto molto più patinato e perfettamente finto. Freddie non fu l'unico a denunciare direttamente sul palco il fenomeno. L'anno prima Vasco Rossi lasciò il palco prima che finisse la canzone, mentre l'anno dopo fu il turno dei Duran Duran. Insomma, il gioco non é valso la candela e alla fine la pratica é stata abbandonata, giustamente.

      When heavy dancing is involved, lip-synching is NEEDED because it will strain their vocals way too much.

I think it's crazy especially in the 80s and early 90s when he would perform 2 hour long shows and he wouldn't lip sync a single song through out the concert it was only in the late 90s where he began to lip sync more often which is understandable because at that point he'd been performing for over 30 years and was reaching his 40's and I don't think many people would be able to sing and dance for 2 hours without collapsing half way through especially at the age of 40+

    for everyone asking, there's a difference between lip-syncing and pre-recording. pre recording is when you sing right before the concert, so if you have hard choreographies, it's easier to use the pre-recorded audio, because it still sounds live. lip-syncing is when you take the original audio and do nothing but move your lips. sometimes, it's okay to lip sync.

    I feel like lip syncing isn't bad. Like, the Usher thing. Some lip syncing is used so you can give more engaging dance performances. Lip syncing isn't inherently bad, it's all centered on if the person uses it as a crutch. Same thing with the Queen suggestion. I don't think it was bad because of the energy and total nonchalant attitude that Freddie Mercury was giving off. It's all about the reason for lip syncing. Is it a crutch because you can't sing live? Ehhh probably bad. Is it to give a fuller, all around performance? Then it's more acceptable and even cool, relating it back to Usher.

      Its maddening when they try to pass it off as live. At least Usher had the decency to just let the backtrack play without him "singing" through it and instead, showcased his dancing. If an artist is going on stage to just dance, then don't even take the mic with you and showcase the dance. If you do a mixed live, then don't claim the backtrack to pass it off as live singing when you aren't. Audiences love legitimacy and having the artist show "this is me singing" and "this is me damcing" and "this is my skill in singing and dancing at the same time" is what makes live performances great. But having the artist pretend to be doing something they aren't makes the money we spent in support of said artist feel wasted.

      The man didn't need lip sync, even though he needed to use it later in his career to keep his performance up. like you and i both said, he got sicker (lupus, vitiligo) so yeah.

      Kpop idols they don't lipsync since it is too easy to be spotted out. They have a method of using live MR, which is music with part of their vocal. They sing, but not 100%, some songs will be 90-ish, the others are about 60%. You can see it clearly on GD live concert, the Middle Fingers Up performance, he didn't rap much, and even let the chorus be a playback.

    Live sound guy here, this is actually a much more complicated (and much more interesting) issue than most people think. I'll contest the point about moving the mic around without affecting levels (to an extent). We use dynamic tools that help balance out those differences automatically, even when it really is live. There is some room for movement that won't affect the audio. It's also not uncommon to use a "safety track," particularly in high-risk environments like high-profile broadcasts and events or large venues. In these systems, the singer can decide in realtime whether to do it live, or let the pre-recorded track take over. Anytime there is a level on their mic, the mic is live, if for any reason, sound stops coming from their mic, the safety track takes over. That said, the safety track can kick in for a number of reasons. It could be that the singer was winded or just isn't feeling the high note that night (if they start singing again immediately after, then their mic overrides the safety track again), they can stop singing momentarily and do what they need to do, and be covered. But it can also happen if they drop the mic too early, or if the mic stops working. Sometimes, when you catch a singer with their mic down, it could be that every other note of the song was performed live, but because they dropped early, you heard the safety track come through.

The actual live performances u can tell and they’re usually very breathless (like some of the mama performances) and it’s just so obvious.. the other ones are clearly prerecorded and they just edit in a few breathy noises to make it seem like they sing live.. but new kpop fans just idolize their faves unrealistically and it’s just embarrassing to see bc it isn’t the truth lol. I mean even Beyoncé has lip synced before and she’s the queen of vocals, it’s just bound to happen in the music industry bc of complex choreo, not feeling well, etc

    Keep in mind, some artists companies make them lip sync. Most artists need to be able to sing live because if their mic stops working, or the music stops, they will be exposed. Artists also usually need to be able to dance consistantly while having a powerful vocal/rap. Most long time artists (5+ years in the music industry) have mastered these skills, so they are able to keep the show going even if the music stops.
    Another way of spotting lip syncing is to look at their vocal range and ask yourself if that high note is too much for them to do naturally.

    There is only one person that i know for sure has never lip synced. And that is Brendon Urie, the only reason i know is because every time he performs it it is different. He always does those random high notes that makes everyone scream😂

    For everyone saying lip-synching is bad, I'll state my opinion. Lip-synching is not bad. I mean sure they're singers and their job is supposed to sing. But considering that they (depending on their popularity) have to perform in concerts and in TV, the singers will most likely not have stamina to sing all of the songs they are supposed to sing live without sounding like pterodactyl. If you don't understand this, I'm basically saying Would you prefer to hear one of your favourite songs from a talented artist sing it like a pterodactyl? I'd personally say that lip-synching to a pre-recording is a little better than trying to lip-synch to the studio version since they're not recycling vocals in a way
    Btw I'm only talking about artist that goes on tours/concert every 10 seconds.

      It's bad if they never even come close to the studio version even once Live. It's actually not that bad with many vocalists before since most people heard them on radio or recorded media. These day's vocalist compete with each other, they get discovered by new fans through seeing them perform something live that blows people away. If the rise to fame is pure talent, once in a generation, once in a lifetime voice and they can't replicate it live even once, that's pure deception.

      Yes you said it right!!!!,
      Lip syncing is bad for singer who are unable to sing live( ie doesn't have great vocals or totally dependent on autotune,)
      But for the singers who have great vocals, (Like Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson) it's okay to lip sync

    What I love is in the case of BTS, they dance hardcore whilst singing but you can tell they are singing live. In some cases you can hear the breath, hard 'p' and 'b' sounds, as well as occasionally they will be a bit off the note (it's normal and not a criticism). But also, when they were trainees they had to sing whilst running on a treadmill until they could sing smoothly. That - my friends - is dedication.

      Gage Quinn I’m pretty sure his live performances are usually live. I haven’t seen all live performances (obviously) so I can’t for sure say that he has never ever lip-synced but the ones I’ve seen sound different from the studio version. Mostly because changes the melody up a little, adds some extra high notes or changes the lyrics.

    WOOOOW the shade towards Britney lmao. I remember seeing her when I was younger (I think it was her I'm a Slave tour) and you could hear her breathing into the microphone from the amount of dancing she was doing. She's an incredible performer, and obviously she has slowed down a bit as she's gotten older, and like a lot of people, uses lip sync now to save her voice. I've also heard she's damaged her vocal cords over the years singing in a weird tone that isn't natural to her voice, and struggles to sing live. I have no idea why people always shit on Britney for lip syncing.... Even the "King of Pop" did like Geebus, people.

      also in groups it's kind of the main dancer's thing to yk...be the main dancer as they sing/rap
      Oh yeah, they rap while dancing too
      I mean in all technicality sometimes compared to other members the person at the center at the moment has more simplified choreo so their voice can be stable (like if they're belting a high note or smth) but not always
