Lip-syncing

I had the misfortune of going to a club recently where the live act was found to be Lip-syncing, needless to say the crowd was not please. I myself was not pleased i will admit, and when a room fill of rather drunk people are not pleased no one ends up pleased..... mainly the people who own the room.

Personally I think everyone attending has the right to know if there will be lip syncing. This should espessially be the case if it is a concert and not a small gig at a club but either way both should give warning. I pay to see a live act, not to hear some cd recording while the people on stage try to look cool. Though I would go one step further and make it illegal to not give an audeance warning that the show is lip-synced. Services not rendered and all that. annoys me to no end.

Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.

People who Lip-sync at lives

People who Lip-sync at lives should be sued for fraud, because this is essentially what they're doin.

Oblivion is absolutely correct, 100%. If you want a CD -- buy a CD; or tune in FM radio. When you pay for a live concert you should hear a live concert;--- mind you sometimes a live singer can not always hit all the right notes. Even Pavoratti was booed at a live concert for being off-key, he was over worked and tired, and he STILL appoligised!!!! The audience did not come to hear you do it WRONG; screw up and they will boo, no matter who you are; but at least it is LIVE and honest.

that is merely a risk that you take by seeing a live act. In my experiance the atmosphere at a live concert will cover all mistakes made. But as you say the point is you still get a live act. It may not be perfect but it is what you paid money to see.
