Bingo.

Ugggghhhhh is the only response I have to this. You must be a delight at dinner parties.

Lol. You sound like a shitty lawyer.

I think it all depends on what type of live music you’re going to see. The type of musicians I’ve seen lately (Sting, Peter Gabriel, Elvis Costello) don’t have huge stage shows with a bunch of dancing and special effects. I guarantee they are singing live. They change lyrics, pause in the middle of songs and have live…

What’s it like spending all morning talking out your ass?

How is a lip-synced performance meaningfully less real than a non-lip-synced one?

Ah, I don’t think that’s why people go to concerts, at all. Maybe concerts for shitty fake artists; I wouldn’t know. I have always gone to concerts to see the artist perform live, as has everyone I’ve ever met. Watching Prince live was life-altering; he sounded much better than he did on any album. And lip-syncing…

It’s categorically false to say Spears “gets nothing but praise.” There is plenty of criticism of her lip syncing.

It seriously makes no difference to you whether your favorite artist performs at a concert you attend, or just moves their mouth and pantomimes the thing? Like if Eric Clapton just pretended to play guitar, that’d be just as good as hearing him actually perform his art?

Okay, I’ll bite. I think live music is thrilling. A terrific singer can change up phrasing and intonation, decide to come in ahead of or behind the beat, respond to what’s in her heart or what’s going on in the world. She can keep the material fresh. There is a reason fans of acts like the Grateful Dead or Bruce…

Back in the day Mariah Carey could sing and had more range than Adele. It’s too bad for whatever reason (age, not protecting her voice?) it’s not there anymore.

Hence being called singers. Lip syncing and voice alterations really annoy me. There are so many amazing musicians who don’t resort to it and honestly don’t need it. At the same time I don’t think MC can belt them out like she used to. I have a suspicion that she ruined her voice at some point hitting those high notes…

Can you really not answer these questions for yourself?

Huh, I just read his little thing on the left side, wild. Good for him then!

I realize it may look sketchy on first click but Tony Ortega is a legit reporter whose work over the last couple decades to shine a light on all the seedy bullshit in and around Co$ has made him a huge target of the “Church” (he has been labeled as “Fair Game”.) I occasionally visit the site, although I am not a…

Normally, I would think that was funny because it does sound crazy. And I cannot imagine paying all that money to hold cans and all the other bullshit. But the imprisonment, stalking, and separating families is where it becomes scary.

There’s no chance that wasn’t on purpose. Pro-level shade.
