Lip-synching - who really gives a shit? [View all]

I, for one, don't give a damned whether Beyonce lip-synched during her performance. It doesn't usually bother me when performers do this, but in this particular case I really could not care less at all, even if I tried.

There are so many other issues going on around us - how in the world can anybody be obsessed over this?

The main difference there is that Milli Vanilli weren't even singing on the recordings. nyquil_man Jan 2013 #16

If I pay for a live show, I want the singer to sing and the musicians to play. tridim Jan 2013 #12

It wasn't a Beyonce concert. More fake poutrage IMHO. kestrel91316 Jan 2013 #24

I didn't pay for the show. Nobody did. tridim Jan 2013 #25

It is silly to the extreme. GentryDixon Jan 2013 #14

Isn't the lip-syncing thing due to the weather? backscatter712 Jan 2013 #17

I was momentarily disappointed, but that's an easy song to flub, so it make sense Siwsan Jan 2013 #18

Unfortunately, it can reflect on the White House derby378 Jan 2013 #19

Don't go there. I'm sure that there are teabaggers who will use this for impeachment grounds Hugabear Jan 2013 #26
