naw, beyonce? isn't beyonce known for her live singing like gaga (except that one time)

Don't get fooled, I'm a Beyonce fan but I have my doubts. She's very good at lip syncing. Love On Top, End of Time & the beginning of Halo were lipped imo

It's clear that she was lip-syncing, just notice how her voice sounds clear and polished, just like it was already filtered and enhanced. But what is the point of the thread? Say that Katy was bashed because she wasn't singing live and her guests weren't? I guess that's because she was the main star.

I don't blame her for pre-recording the songs and lipping, though, because the halftime show is always a rush and she just wanted to sound good - and she did.

So when Gaga was announced as the Halftime guest, I saw a lot of people on here already starting to pit Gaga's halftime vs. Katy's halftime.

One of the main things that Little Monsters say is that Katy wasn't singing live the entire show. But, it made me remember that when the halftime show first aired it seemed like Lenny/Missy were the ones lip-syncing, not Katy.

I think it's blatantly obvious that Missy Elliot is lip-syncing. Her tracks sound the exact same as they did when they were released and her facial expressions look exhausted, yet she doesn't sound an inch off. And Lenny, well I don't know his career well enough, but his voice definitely sounds too polished for what he was doing. And also I think he was pretending to play the guitar, but that's another topic.

However, all of Katy's parts sounds live. She doesn't sound perfect and you can see the few parts where she does sound a bit off from the studio version because she is dancing around.

Now I'm not a Katy stan, in fact you can see me pick her a part in other threads, but why is it that pop star fans are so quick to try and tear her down when it's the other two artists that weren't doing what they were supposed to be doing? It's a bit of a double standard to tear down the pop star but praise the hip-hop star (let's be honest, everyone on Twitter was praising Missy the night the show premiered).

Anyways, that's my two cents.

 

Edit: I really love how there are so many people in here that are judging certain parts for being live and certain parts for being pre-recorded, but each one is contradicting something else someone else said. It just goes to show that it's all up to people's opinions I guess. But the bottom-line is: even if Katy was lip-syncing, at least they did put in a TON of effort to make it seem live, but with Missy they just used the same tracks from the early-2000's. 

Katy actually said that some parts would be live and others pre recorded in an interview before The show

I thought they always made people lip sync most of it because they can't run a soundcheck before the performance

Idc but i hope gags won't have any unnecessary guests. Like what was the point of missy and lenny being there?? 

She's going to. That's all part of it. Just some artists get better guests than other. The NFL makes/persuades the main act to bring on guests that aren't the same genre to make sure everyone is happy. Don't be fooled into thinking Gaga has entire control of something that is as big as the Superbowl.

Madonna - LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., CeeLo Green

Bruno Mars - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Beyoncé - Well she's too good for special guests so she just brought back Destiny's Child

Black Eyed Peas - Slash, Usher

Katy Perry - Missy, Lenny

Coldplay - Beyoncé, Bruno (Coldplay had the best guests out of any of the acts because it was the 50th Superbowl)

Everyone's missing the point of the thread. The main point was that people are so quick to bash Katy but no one bashed the other two people who were lip-syncing.

Bey - half lipped, half live 

Katy - mostly lipped

Coldplay - completely live

I think most of Super Bowl half time shows of the past years are lip-synced, if not all. She lip-syncs to a pre-recorded track (maybe recorded from the rehearsals), not to the original tracks.

Prince performed live and played the instruments live :classy:

Sadly the other two no longer matter! Their careers are pretty much over

She herself said before the SB that she's not gonna sing live. She used pre-recorded vocals made specially for the Halftime show, while Missy used vocals from her original studio versions of songs. Not sure about Lenny...
