Live vocals should be live. Simple as that. I mean, why label it as live, if your going to edit it to the point it doesn't even sound like them singing? And they often don't do a very good job at the vocal "touch ups". Sometimes the editing of the vocals is so obvious, not to mention, pooly done, they end up sounding like Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. Like, if your going to edit vocals, you could at least make it sound good. Isn't the point of the editing to make it sound "good" ?

[@someoneelseishere5964]

It's part of their job and they are still doing their job even with overuse of backtracking that their staff forces on them even when they obviously have the vocal ability, because a huge part of their job is looking good on camera and their visual appearance, I honestly think that those 2 things are a bigger part of their job than singing is, because of how popular plastic surgery is there and not to mention the fact that the slightest imperfection on stage or off stage will have a lot of people complaining. Waiting for someone to say that I'm just making excuses.

[@mukhirun]

its okey they use backtrack as long as their own voice, rather than lipsync using backup singers voice. they have to protect their voice because sometimes they heavily perform on many concert with very pack schedule without proper rest flying from one place to another place. even you talk everyday without stopping for 3 hour without rest, you might loose your own voice on a long term.

Because of this unrealistic edited performance, we couldn't get to properly hear members' belting and adlibs in some songs and Eunkwang's extended high note in Finale. The four-way high note harmony in It's Okay and I'll Be Your Man also sounds off cause I'm sure the voices are overlapping with each other's mic so Dingo really had to edit it in some way.

The companies fear that their artists looks like they dont sing perfect like the other artists with edited vocals, so no one wants to be the first to stop doing it, because the standars are stupidly high right now with all this edited vocals, for example people wanted to cancel Aespa for singing bad at Coachella(????????), and now they are praising Aespa sing at Coachella to cancel Le Seraphim for singing bad at Coachella, the irony. Another fact that comes to the table is fanbases, big part of Aespa being cancelled for singing bad at coachella(????????) was blackpink fanbase, so if you stop editing your artists, other fanbases will use the chance of those raw vocals to attack your group because they will sound worst than the edited standard.

Live shows are mix of live singing and lipsynch, they need to retake a lot of times in order to get all camera angles and it would take atleast 2-3 hrs for them to shoot an entire performance, so there were takes that they do live sing and other parts were they take only dance angles they lip synch.

Dreamcatcher. Yes! That's why they're my only stan. Live and every member is a top shelf vocalist. I have no time for most Kpop because too much is fake. The agencies care most about what the girls look like and whether they can dance well. Those two things can't be easily fixed, but mediocre singing can be processed out. All this happened because Kpop has always been performed to recorded music which makes it simple to fix the vocals and just add them to the instrument tracks. Dreamcatcher use a live band whenever possible and you can't fake vocals with a live band.

[@badatchoosingnames3556]

Another source of unedited vocal clips is musicals!! It's limited because not many idols can get a role, and a lot of productions don't allow recording, but it's been getting easier. For one, a lot of idols are getting casted (granted some of them feels very much for popularity purpose), and musicals nowadays show the rehearsals or even just party performance for the production where the idols + the other actors casted for the same role song together.

[@badatchoosingnames3556]

To name a few, there's Eunji, Changsub, Kyuhyun, Suho and some others. The rehearsals especially will allow you to gauge how good the singer is because you'll be able to listen the difference in body, control, weight and just the power of actual musical theatre actors and you can compare how the idols do in comparison. Usually, they're on the weaker side, but it's still very much great to hear!

It just sucks that they edit things to sound perfect, even when they don't have to.

Any myth created in the last 10 years by the community is completely destroyed with the existence of NMIXX, and that is a fact. - *"Ahh but they were tired, it's impossible to sing well like that blah blah blah"* - *"explain NMIXX singing in acapella on their ancore (without even going out of tune) right after literally performing (they were the last ones)"* ...It's impressive... you can use NMIXX for everything...

Yes the unrealistic expextations of kpop fans are a big problem in kpop but they are indeed a product of the 💯 perfect image of the idols.

The reason is that fans tend to make a competition out of everything, that's why they have to correct mistakes, otherwise haters would tear people up. As for myself, I don't mind a few weaknesses, esp together with dancing, but sometimes the venue conditions are also so bad that even the best sing off key and that's really painful to listen to. I'd rather have that corrected, when I know that my favs can sing in general I don't mind that. So it depends.

EXO has tons of raw videos singing from their IG lives, bubble messages to just impromptu requests from fans and shows they've attended. Then there's the recording behind the scenes which only recently SM "finally" realised to release. I've heard 5 out of 9 them in separate concerts, one very recently with Baekhyun, though there are backing tracks it's quite and they don't lipsync if they missed to sing a certain line, they just let the backing track play but then they will sing again and then you can really tell it's them. They only use the backing tracks on choreographed songs but no backing track on slow songs. I was privileged to hear Baekhyun during his sound check and I had literal goosebumps from hearing how beautiful his live vocal is. Chen is next level great vocal definitely. EXO can definitely sing. If the company ask them to lip sync or edit too much, it's on them.

Encore was supposed to be a celebration with fans so it tends to be just relaxing or maybe chaotic but nowadays, it's an outlet of constant bashing and it's kinda sad. For backtrack, I think it's a must since people tend to look things perfectly and if that's a way to protect the artists then that's fine since you can still hear the actual voice anyway. And personally, I see things in an overall perspective so things like imperfections don't bother me and maybe because we have a lot of belter type of vocals in our country that's why I like kpop more because it's kinda different and I like singing+dancing more that belter singing.

It was really funny (and confusing) when they privated and reuploaded in a span of like... 2h. Especially since the original video was already so good no one even questioned it....
