Must’ve been difficult to chose this clip out of the plethora of lipsynched performances of Mariah. In fact the entire article could’ve been inspired by her antics alone #StopSingingMyPartNowBaby .

Whitney was forced to lip-sync. Everyone knows Whitney sang live 90% of her entire career. According to the producer (in his book) Whitney recorded her version in one take! #diva

Also, artists are told to lipsync for certain events, so that there aren’t any discrepencies.

Wow Christina was so gorgeous and in shape. I’m praying for her tonight.

Leona Lewis – ‘Higher’…. You mean ‘Happy’ right?

I think all performers do lip sync at one point or another. We all know EVERYBODY on soul train did it that’s just how it was back then on that show. Nothing wrong with it if u doing multiple songs I’m sure its alot on the vocal cords. Some people do it often like Ms. Britney Spears I don’t recall her ever singing live she rarely does hmmm I wonder why?

I’ve always been against lipsyncing, especially when it’s a concert that people are paying big bucks to see. It’s one thing to do it on one particular show because you’ve totally lost your voice and didn’t want to cancel, and it’s another thing to do an entire tour of lipsyncing. It seems to me that there’s a double-standard in the music business, because the virtually unknown upcoming artists are expected to perform totally live, while the more experienced and well-known artists lipsyc their shows all the time and most people don’t make much of an issue about it. And even if they do complain, they still pay tons of money for tickets to come see the shows. We have shows like American Idol where contestants are required to sing live and sound fantastic. During auditions they can’t even have an instrumental track to back them up, or use a microphone to add some echo. It has to be totally acappella and totally live, and the judges love nitpicking every little sour note or missed lyric. Yet, Jennifer Lopez or Paula Abdul get up on stage to perform their latest single and just lipsyncs to the track on the CD. She they receive a standing ovation for that. A perfect example of the double-standard in the world of music. By the way, I don’t buy into the excuse that pop stars have to lipsync because you can’t sing well and dance at the same time. I saw The Cadillacs a couple years ago and they are a doo-wop group from the 1950′s whose members are all in their 70′s. They sang a rock & roll classic called “Speedoo” totally LIVE as well as many others, and they danced all over the stage during the show. If guys in their 70′s can sing and dance (and I do it all the time as well), you can’t convince me that a young pop star can’t do it. If they can’t perform live, it’s probably because they can’t really sing, or they just choose not to sing. Plus, who ever said a singer has to dance and jump all over the stage anyway? That’s what you have backup dancers for! The singer is there to sing!

@Tahj…sit, you failed.
