How to Tell If Any Singer Is Lip-Syncing

[@fabiocampolo3259]

Freddie was forced to do playback on an Italian tv show and since he was very much against it he chose to sing like that to show his disapproval

[@nadia1808]

@@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.

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.

chantoya17 this is true but Michael was debatably the most talented overall artist here. He only lip synced when he was dancing hard (he had lupus and vitiligo that kept him back, just as Mariah has nodules) but he sang & danced live when he could.

[@berlyn8748]

While there is no denying that Michael was extremely talented but as he got older, he was getting sicker which made it harder to sing and dance as much as he did when he was younger.

[@onemillionpercent]

Crowley deserved better agreed, but if you see the This Is It rehearsals, before he died, singing Human Nature.... this 50 year old man sounded the same as he did at 20! That sounded even better than his 1988 Wembley Stadium Human Nature performance which is one of my favorite performances from any artist of all time! 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.

[@trash4taymusiccovers793]

yall in the comments section saying kpop artists dnt lipsync..yall r living in a delusion or are new fans..every kpop artist has lip synced with prerecorded vocals-theyre usually forced to by the companies [in order to protect their voice or put on the best stage]. but there r some kpop artists which lipsync less than others do. a lot of the mr removed videos u see are mr removed of vocals that were prerecorded before the live stage and they’re lip syncing to it. but there r some artists who sing well live like mamamoo and shinee. but theyve all lipsynced before, please dnt be a delusional fan and put ur idols on this unrealistic pedestal.

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.

[@joshmaday1462]

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.

Mariah partially lips her popular songs like Hero, My All, Always be my baby, We belong together to say the least. As award shows allow artists to lip sync or with a backtrack. And she has been singing along the track in and sometimes perform her popular songs live louder than the backtrack.

[@fawntler]

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.

Artists also should know their vocal range and stick to it, so when they do play live they don't injure their voice

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.

[@hotstuff6131]

[@obe22099]

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.

[@parthmishra7911]

Just proves that Michael Jackson was a God at performing, even before the media overworked him to death ):

[@sanrasuzumaki942]

And that's why He is The Freaking King Of Pop! even lip-syncing he is(was) great!

[@misled1982]

0:58 actually that Celine performance (These Are Special Times Special CD realease, 1998) IS playback, she sung the same The Power Of Love version for years, cleverly, is not the CD version, rather than a new track, used in concerts, there is a video where you can see her using the same track for years, even as far as 2007

[@TCt83067695]

misled1982 she has perfected the act of lipsynching

[@clintmaryann9142]

misled1982 The video didn't even touch on pre-recorded vocals and singing on an off mic.

[@ArchdukeOfBelgrade]

Totally. These guys has no clue. Some people like Celike or Beyonce are perfections, they even move theiw jaw to look more valid.

[@enaaya4704]

*_We all know that Ariana Grande singing Thank You, next on Ellen was DEFINITELY not lip syncing...._*

The Unicorn Lover! Yes she sang live

Who the fuck cares

[@gracehansen7929]

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😂

[@uncledan8389]

I agree

[@bagel3707]

Grace Hansen umm lady Gaga...

[@uncledan8389]

Lady gaga sometimes lip sync, what are you talking about?

[@bagel3707]

UncleDan Yes but everyone does, even Brandon Urie. Just some singers do it less than others

[@uncledan8389]

Im a big fan of Brandon and I watch most of his LIVE Concert video.. show me 1 of them which he lip synced. Then come back here.

[@God-hr9tm]

Just throw something at them and they will stop lip singing but The music will keep singing.

Mariah has given us countless flawless live performances and been in the music game for nearly 30 years, she's earned that right to lip sync she has nothing left to prove. Though I can't say the same for the new generation of singers😶

[@dependencyonlove8751]

Earned the right to lip-sink? Did I seriously just read that?

[@hughw2377]

Alois Trancy yes you did.

[@dependencyonlove8751]

If she has nothing left to prove then maybe she should stop performing.

[@hughw2377]

Alois Trancy she doesn't have to if she don't want to, as regular paying fan I don't have a problem

[@dependencyonlove8751]

That's cool then, Lip-sinking just rubs me the wrong way but if others are okay with it then who am i to judge.

[@V.guerra.a]

I'm looking at the comments and yes, K-pop stars do lip-sync! Take BTS for example. I love this band with all my heart, but they lip-sync sometimes. Like in mic-drop or dna. Sometimes they don't, other times they do. It's something that every artist has done.

[@raimundematiusaityte9929]

Big respect for heavy metal bands: they are always performing live!

[@m3galodon_22]

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.
