Is it? I wish artists who can't sing live wouldn't go on tour or at least admit no live singing is to be expected in order to not mislead fans.

I wish that cause generally fanbases are fully delusional when it comes to lip sync and need a billion caught moments to admit it's an habit of their fav'.

I agree they shouldn't do fake advertising at least

Well she is on stage PERFORMING

I bought a ticket to her London show in 2023 just because Raye was opening and I really wanted to see her. I left 4 songs into SZA’s set because she was so obviously lip syncing and it turned me off big time.

Not every popstars are performers, she probably recorded a studio live version in studio to lipsync it and that's ok 

idk if it's "okay". I feel that there should be a disclaimer so you know what you're paying for. 

to me it's not worth paying for just to see a famous person wiggle around and move their lips to a backing track. the bar is so low if it's the norm to have singers who can't even sing

When you think about Ashley Simpson who got a successful debut of a career destroyed because of a busted lip sync in the 2000's... Now most new acts lip and it's a 2 min disappointment forgotten the next day. The bar is low indeed. 😆

I wish she would train more because she actually does have a nice voice.

I’m going mainly for Kendrick. But I’m going to try and go to the Cowboy Carter tour too! At least we know Bey and Gaga will never let us down lol.

I was gonna go to see kendrick in toronto, mainly for him. But beyonce is not coming to canada and im not going to the usa anytime soon, so uk was the only one that worked out for me and it conflicted with kendrick. Wish i couldve done both tbh

Yet another singer without the pipes for a live show

RIGHT?!?? Or Milli Vanilli in the 90s. That was a career-ender.

 

I remember watching the Grammys this year and it was one of the best ceremonies I'd seen in so long, but the one weak spot was Charli XCX lip-syncing her performance. Otherwise it was an incredible show. I'd literally rather hear someone sing and be less-than-great technically than just........ not even try.

I personally do get irked when pop stars lip sync. I’m not biased, so this goes for everyone. Even Gaga in parts of her career when overly heavy backing track was used 
 

It’s literally their job that they’re getting paid millions to do, for only a handful of days over the course of the tour 

Whereas, there are millions of every-day people who get paid minimum wage for their entire lives, to work under the microscope of managers who would fire them the second they underperform or make a mistake 

So when those same every-day people spend their hard earned money on an overpriced concert (we all know there’s a concert overpricing pandemic right now), expecting a live show, only for them to be shown a glorified equivalent to a drag lip syncing performance, I think pop stars should be held accountable
