They do NYE in Canada so it's a bit chilly. Guitar strings tighten up in the cold which means you're always out of tune. It's also not great for your voice to sing in -15c weather. A big reason is that it's just easier logistically. 10 bands means 10 sound checks and no one has time for that since everyone is only playing 2 songs each. Better to just tune the PA once and the done with it. Sometimes the singer may be live but the background vocals are not. And yeah, you risk off pitch notes or like Mariah Carey a few years ago, you can't hear anything at all and have no idea what sounds are coming out of you. I've had two occasions where I've been on stage and my monitor feed just quit. I could not hear a drat thing because the drum set was behind all the amps and speakers.

HonorableTB posted:I imagine it depends on the level of exposure. If you're doing a Super Bowl halftime show you're probably going to lip sync more to avoid the risk of having off-pitch notes on a national broadcast. Most televised performances are synced I'm sure, it's just not worth it to potentially do a honker in front of millions of potential fans lol My understanding is that the Super Bowl is a mixture. The artists record their own tracks, and then their live performance is mixed over it. Depending on what they're doing in any given song you may or may not be hearing them sing live or it might be a mix or it might be entirely the prerecorded track. Someone running up and down stairs and dancing their rear end off is probably going to be heavily mixed. But then you have Alicia Keys sitting at a piano and her voice cracks because she was signing entirely live. Prince really did play that guitar in the rain though.

Big shows have pre recorded audio piped in all the time. Whether it’s for lip syncing or because they don’t have a guy to play the 3rd guitar part live or any other reason. Unless it’s like, a jazz concert or some diy punk show where you expect the playing and singing to be real, I don’t really care.

Zugzwang posted:In many cases, performers aren't even *allowed* to sing live. They have to lip sync. There have been cases where the audio fucks up at the Macy's parade or whatever and then the singer who was on TV at the time gets trashed in the press. But literally every other singer was lip syncing too. Iron Maiden did not lip-sync. Not their style. They had to for a German TV show and it was one of the best performances EVER.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuIol63oAmI

That episode was a "the worst person you know just made a good point" situation i know thos type so well because i used to sorta be one. when i was like in high school and early community college, i wanted to be a cool bad rear end troll because i was a dumb lonely kid who wanted to laugh at weirdos. i was saved only because my one friend managed to figure out who one of the trolls was(i joined some group follow this obviously mentally ill lady) the main troll was some dude in his 30s who taught tech and did mssionary work or some poo poo in california. anyway my friends scared him off and eventually i bailed completly because hanging out in those types of groups is loving awful because its a constant balancing act of "not being the whipping boy". i manage to erase my poo poo for the most part move on. anyway like last year, said rear end in a top hat messaged me on my barely used facebook making fun of my disibilities and some stupid embarassing poo poo i told him and its like "dude, its been over 10 years and your still doing this poo poo, i have a solid job and loving gf and graduated college and friends and etc and your drunk one night sending some vague stupid old poo poo because you can't find anything new" so i blocked him and delated it. So yeah, gently caress you jerry, i hope you get locked in syndrom for trolling schizophrenic woman. anyway, id like a 10 piece chicken nugget please.

Kit Walker posted:How common is lip syncing these days anyway? I imagine it's one of those things that no one really talks about but a lot of performers do, but I have no idea. It would just be funny if it was quite widespread at the time and she was the only one unfortunate enough to really get noticed doing it It's less of a thing since the 80s but it's definitely still around. Like, if you see someone doing a big choreographed dance number while simultaneously belting out a tune, 97% of the time they're lipsynching - dancing and singing at the same time is an INSANELY hard thing to do. While nobody ever liked lipsynching, it didn't become a taboo until Milli Vanilli were exposed as frauds. Over time I think people have misremembered/misunderstood what happened there - it's not lipsynching itself that was the problem, it was that they used lipsynching to hide that they never sang "their" songs at all. Lipsynching was so prevalent before then that there are a lot of singers from the 60s and 70s it's actually tough to find many genuine live performances of. A lot of TV shows in particular back in the day didn't have the studio space or acoustics to accommodate live music performance (at least one whose sound quality wasn't crap).

Love Guru pretty much spelled the end for Mike Myers. Apparently he was already on thin ice for Goldmember bombing and apparently being a tough person to work with. The last thing I remember him being in is like the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live where he reprized his role as Wayne from Wayne's World. I think he's been in a couple other things since then but nothing close to what he had during his glory days of the late '90s and early 2000s.

thought I heard something about groups using a good vocal take from soundcheck these days or something and lip sincing with that. that would be more of an award-ceremony thing. i can see how it would actually sound great and make the singers life easier

The "comedy" show where he played eight characters? I felt like on paper that show checked a ton of boxes for me and I should have loved it. It was such an unfunny slog that I gave up on it after two or three episodes. Shrek isn’t a core memory for me from my childhood so I don’t pay attention to them, but it does feel like a new Shrek comes out every two years so he’s definitely still working.

Ashlee Simpson caught a lot of flack for lip syncing because she was an industry plant riding on her sister's coat tails, and people thought she didn't deserve a spot on SNL in the first place.

Brazilianpeanutwar posted:Speaking of lip sync,a man who was incapable of it. I bet poor old Prince had to "play the game" plenty of times though and lip sync his own songs for corporate stuff. Speaking of him, would it be fair to say that Prince's mainstream career didn't really survive the grunge years? All the Warner Bros and Love Symbol stuff took its toll and seemed to sideline him for most of the 90's. Also there was a long period where his music wasn't online (and everyone else's was) that didn't help.

I keep getting unsolicited facebk videos of 89-year-old Frankie Valli, lip syncing away to his greatest hits in the present day. The comments are a hoot, it's 95% "WE LOVE YOU FRANKIE, STILL GOT THAT GOLDEN VOICE" and the other 5% is "You know he's miming, right? RETIRE ALREADY" (warning: possible elder abuse) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMS8VvxeFiA

Whilst it is not a specific moment. But older sister Jessica's career as a pop star died in the arse when it came out in that reality show she was doing that she was really REALLY dumb. I forget the specifics, but she didn't know that Tuna was a fish or something similar.

Especially if you keep acting and 30 years later that one Bond movie is still pretty much the only thing you are known for.
