Lady GaGa Live! No Lip Synching

Filed under: Lady GaGa

wenn2402547_gaga.jpg

100% GaGa, everytime you see her!

The music comes first for the Lady, and she insists that she will never lipsynch a performance, no matter how difficult the song or dance routine. She is totally adamant on being a true performer.

She says: “I would never even think about it (lip synching). The whole point to me is, if you’re gonna be number one, you better really be fucking number one. If you’re gonna be on top, you better be able to do all those things, because it’s a real privilege to be able to make music everyday, and I get away with a lot…Andy Warhol says art is what you can get away with, and I get away with a lot with my music and my clothes, and I work really hard so I could truly be a real artist for all my fans. That’s really fucked up when you lip-synch.”

Amen!

We'd love to see if other singers would make this kind of vow, but we won't hold our breath!

      god i love that woman



    2. 2

      Well, for once, I salute her.



    3. 3

      I would love to see Britney sing live too Perez but fact is her voice is like Courtney Loves it's a style that the pop audience wouldn't understand. I'm not holding my breath on that one either



    4. 4

      omq 1stttt



    5. 5

      i l0ve her.



    6. 6

      You realize she's pretty much dissing your precious Britney, right?



    7. 7

      of course its live - no one sounds that horrible if they're fakin it.



    8. 8

      Christina, Beyonce, Mariah and Jennifer Hudson are all great vocalists but HAVE lipped before, but that DOES NOT mean they are not great artists.



    9. 9

      gaga you gogo! you gogo gaga!

      ANYWAYS, big radio hits now but ppl have low attention spans…

      and its not really…well…proving anything? frankly, i dont care if ppl lip synch or waht not a song is a song



    10. 10

      Is she saying Christina Aguilera is not an artist? Christina has lipsynched before, but that DOES NOT mean she is not an artist!

      good for her! so why the fuck are u such a big britney supporter all of a sudden PH



    12. 12

      You go girl!



    13. 13

      Christina lipped last years VMA's but the performance was awesome! Beyonce lipped at the Oscar, Jeniffer Hudson lipped the national anthem. Mariah has over and over again but they are all incredible! To say they are not real artists is ridiculous! Besides art & talent is NOT predefined and is not just exclusive to singing.



    14. 14

      Sings AND her leotard matches her scooter? Double threat!



    15. 15

      Isn't Gaga a huge Britney fan? Didn't she call herself Britney in high school? And she always praises her in interviews. I guess she likes Britney for her dance ability, good songs, charm? And she even recorded with Britney in studio…



    16. 16

      her ass farts live too



    17. 17

      I saw her a couple of months ago when she was on the NKOTB tour and she was performed a show afterwards at a nightclub and she was without a doubt LIP-SYNCHING! It was probably one of the worst shows that I have seen, we waited for 4 hours for her to come on for 15 minutes and pull that shit! Now with that being said if she did come back around I may give her another chance but I was not impressed!



    18. 18

      damnit lol thought i was 1st



    19. 19

      Perez quit acting like her publicist, no one cares about her as much as you think!



    20. 20

      Visually, she reminds me of a modern day Dale Bozzio.

      Sadly, her songs just aren't as catchy as the ones Missing Persons had back in the day. But none of those modern pop singers are really creating anything that sticks.

      Makes me shed a tear.



    21. 21

      OMG, I have not seen this must nesting in a mediocre pop singer's vag since Kurt Loder and Madonna.



    22. 22

      That's one BIG cnut she's got there.



    23. 23

      Not a fan of her music (just not my style) and she's a bit of an odd duck, but that is quite the admirable statement! In the days when 'entertainers' think they can charge exorbitantly high prices for what is essentially a bad shot at lipsyncing, she deserves a lot of credit! I will reserve the right to snicker at her costumes and clothing choices, but as for what she does and the respect she has for what music should be, I say good for her!



    24. 24

      Okay, majority of all pop artist HAVE lip synched. It doesn't make them less of an artist though. I BET she has too. Its done for different reasons…



    25. 25

      Has this lady ever went on tour before? Yeah, good luck with that idea.



    26. 26

      yeah my friend went to one of her night club performances and said she was 100% lipsyching so…whatever



    27. 27

      …all of her choruses sound like they're lip-synced. the quality of her verses and bridges compared to the choruses are way too different.

      if you want real live music, look at Taiwanese artists. even when they're sick, artists like JJ Lin and Leehom Wang won't lip-sync a single line. it's expected of them, and a lot of them (but especially those two) pull it off extremely well, even if they're dancing or playing instruments simultaneously. Koreans and Japanese artists, on the other hand, are more apt to lip-sync to their dance and harder songs.



    28. 28

      Although, can I just say, she did lipsync on Australian Morning Television (Sunrise is the name of the program) and admitted to it afterwards, saying she had a sore throat - so she has lipsynced!



    29. 29

      Re: TiaBelle
      i agree and all of them could blow her out of the water as far as singing



    30. 30

      Yeah, that talentless Britney Spears is who she's referring too…



    31. 31

      eh fuck lady gaga!



    32. 32

      So you do a video for Britney the no talent loser's concert and then say lip synching is not good?

      BTW Lady Gaga look damn ugly. She is only her her 20's and looks like an old fart.

      She has an ugly face and fat thighs.



    33. 33

      I don't care for her but I admire her for singing live. I hate when singers don't.

    34. 3l$@ says – reply to this


      34

      i love her i do but im pretty sure ive seen her lyp sync and she will mark my words!



    35. 35

      that's why i'll always have mad respect for her. you can tell when people are lip synching and when they aren't, and every performance i've watched wether it be tv performance, or videos from concerts, you can tell it's 100% her and she gives 100% everytime! Long Live GaGa!!



    36. 36

      I FUCKING HATE "LADY GAGA" !!!

      WHEN ARE HER 15 MIN OF FAME ARE GONNA BE OVER ???

      SHE IS A JUST POOR IMITATION OF CHER !



    37. 37

      POOOOOOOR IMITATION OF CHEEERRRRRRRR !!!!!!!!!!!



    38. 38

      Kelly Clarkson already said this. She has and will never lipsynch because she doesn't understand why people would do it and because she won a SINGING competition.

      I do respect Gaga though for being a true performer - I love that!



    39. 39

      well that's just a little hypocritical considering when i saw her at the jingle ball in miami in december, she was totally lip synching. and it was made SOOO obvious too. when every other performer had a live feed shown up on the big scream in the stadium, did she? nope. and they also put absolutely no lights on her. so basically unless you were in the first 5 rows, nobody could see her. hiding something? for sure!



    40. 40

      I LOOOVE GAGA BUTTTTT

      SHE DID LIP SYNC!!

      ON THE AUSTRALIAN MORNING SHOW 'SUNRISE' WHEN SHE WAS SINGING JUST DANCE, SOMETIME LATE LAST YR,

      GOOGLE IT



    41. 41

      oh really? well without bitney paving the way for her she'd be a waitress in her fucking town…so dont bite the hand that feeds you.



    42. 42

      I love LADY GAGA but if you lip sync so what?? Lady Gaga is so bad singing live, i would rather hear her cd playing and faking it than her real voice live because its not pleasant. I don't mind artist who do because you have to understand some situations…

      Britney Spears has sold over 100 million albums worldwide…and she lip syncs…..britney actually does sing like before her drama like at the ONYX HOTEL and even at the CIRCUS concert you hear her singing with the music…anyways its not a big deal…everyone does it…she is a wreck as i saw on ellen.



    43. 43

      Well this is the first time I have something positive to say about her! I thought she was going to go down the Madonna and Britney route. Thank god she is truly singing live. I guess Lady Gaga and Xtina are a lot more alike than we thought. Both Divas are brilliant, talented, cutting edge, progressive artists that sing live and give outstanding performances!!!!! Kudos to you Lady Gaga! Britney and Madonna should take notes!!!



    44. 44

      This is coming from a person who claims to be a huge britney spears fan, who's the poster child of lip-synching.
      Alot of pop singer's DON'T lip-synch and are adamant AGAINST lip-synching Avril, Alanis, Kelly, Nelly furtado, sarah mclauglin, tori amos, etc. The thing is no-one truly cares wither you lip-synch or write on they're song's it's ALL about image. I don't think that her fans give a fuck wither she lip-synch's or not, as her music is vapent disposable pop music it fits the flavor of the week, so they're gonna be fair weather fans until the next flavor of the week comes along.



    45. 45

      ok for all of you people who seem to think she is faking in her club performances, she is not…there is a difference between pure lip-syncing, and back up vocals. Lady G wants to put on a good show…and she at least full out dances and sings, so there is no harm in back-up vocals…most of you people don't understand the difference. I am a fan, and she is very unique with everything she does. Back up vocals are nothing new…notice how she never said "I dont use backup vocals." only "No lip-syncing"



    46. 46

      Well good for GaGa.. too bad in a couple of months nobody cares about her singing live anymore!!!!



    47. 47

      @47 More like the other way around, if people like her didn't write her songs for her miss spears wouldn't have a career.



    48. 48

      Imagine the rolling stones, acdc etc. lip-synching entire shows, it would SUCK! but it's o.k. for some pop "singers". Apperently "pop music" is a acronym for mediocrity.



    49. 49

      She'll EAT those words….



    50. 50

      with a face like that she better have a good voice



    51. 51

      I call bullshit.



    52. 52

      I am sorry, but I watched Gaga on Ellen the other day, and while her performance was fantastic, she definitely did a little lip synching.



    53. 53

      wonder why there's so few comments on these stories? could be that ppl don't like you perez?!



    54. 54

      Re: shittin_condoms – LOLOLOL



    55. 55

      was a day when this was'nt even a question in the first place.



    56. 56

      Thats hot i love hearing singers sing while performing not a back track



    57. 57

      Not true. Last year she lip synced to "Just Dance" on Sunrise Australia.



    58. 58

      yea, maybe if she did lipsync, it would sound better



    59. 59

      Re: verama – That's because she's the next madonna. hahahahahhaha



    60. 60

      OHH SHE SUCKS LIVE!!! IT'S A COMMENDABLE STATEMENT WHEN ONE CAN ACTUALLY SING LIVE (THINK WHITNEY HOUSTON BACK IN THE DAY..) BUT YOU SOUND LIKE A DUFUS WHEN YOU SING LIKE A FROG STUCK IN YOUR THROAT. LADY GAGA IS JUST THAT… THE SAME SOUND WHEN ONE THROWS UP!! GET A CLUE BITCH!!!!



    61. 61

      ALL THE REAL SANGERS DIED IN THE 80'S AND 90'S. INSTEAD WE HAVE GIMICS LIKE LADY GAG ME WITH A SPOON, BRITNEY SPEARS, AND SWAGGER JACKER BEYONCE. WTF CARES. NO WONDER NO ONE PAYS FOR MUSIC ANYMORE. THIS SHIT AINT WORTH PAYING FOR. JUST SAYIN!



    62. 62

      I OFFICIALLY HATE HER

    63. ShanV says – reply to this


      63

      BULLSHIT SHE DID IN SYDNEY AUSTRALIA WHEN SHE CAME DOWN ON THE MORNING SUNRISE SHOW! funny how all the videos either had the sound removed on youtube or were deleted altogether



    64. 64

      Thats a pretty big statement that could come back to haunt her. I just watched her on Ellen's show and she was OBVIOUSLY lippin….anyone else agree?



    65. 65

      Re: TiaBelle – U fucking liar. You have never seen her before and damn well know it. end of story bitch. I will not reply to your comment so don't waste time out of your pathetic life.



    66. 66

      Re: TiaBelle – Your a loser bitch. get a life and then make a statement. maybe someone will actually give a toss what your're saying…in other words: your opinion does not matter nothing! gaga rocks, everyone else sucks (except Madonna).



    67. 67

      Re: TheQueenBee – Britney fucking Spears did not pave the way for anyone. Madonna did. End of story you delusional bitch. Britney is the product of the record industry. She's there to make money. You need to take a deeper look at your idol because she does not write or produce her own shit. She pays people for songs and is basically a blow up doll singing. So shut your mouth about Britney paving the way for anyone…if anything she paved the way for Mandy Moore, Ashley Tisdel, and pretty much every onther talentless bimbo pop star out their. Those retarded bitches don't stand for anything other than dumb blonde bimbos. At least Madonna, Christina, Pink write and have control over a large part of their Image. Britney is a clone. She did not pave the way for anyone…Madonna did end of story.



    68. 68

      Re: je032288 – Your delusional babe, and for that i feel sorry for you. I can't wait until you realize how stupid you were for ever liking Britney fucking Spears. I liked her back in the old days right when Baby one more time came out, then I got smart and realized she was a product of the evil record industry. They pick her songs and she is all for it…she's a sell out to the extreme. I hope you realise this one day. BLACKOUT is a prime example…the record industry paid for her to do those songs…she had no voice, just a contractual obligation.



    69. 69

      Re: misterpibb – FYI Madonna sings live…look up any video online and she does sing live…just letting you know. The only songs she may not sing live are: Future Lovers, Express Yourself (90, 93) i don't know what else, but 90% of Madonna in concert and performance is live.



    70. 70

      GOTTA RESPECT HER FOR SAYING THAT. AT LEAST SHE'S CAN SING LIVE AND IN TUNE UNLIKE BRITNEY OR VADGE OR THESE OTHER SO CALLED ARTISTS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO TREAT AS POP ROYALTY…THEY ARE ALL FAKES AND CON MERCHANTS STOOD NEXT TO GAGA.



    71. 71

      Re: goodtasteishardtofind – YOU ARE GREATLY MISTAKEN IF YOU THINK VADGE SINGS LIVE. WHAT SHE ACTUALLY DOES IS PRE-RECORD "LIVE" VOCALS BEFORE ANY OF HER PERFORMANCES THEN LIP-SYNCHS TO THAT BACKING TAPE TO CREATE THE ILLUSION THAT SHE IS SINGING LIVE. VADGE-DONNA CAN'T SING IN TUNE TO HER OWN SONGS. ALL HER FANS ALREADY KNOW IT - THEY JUST CAN'T ACCEPT IT.



    72. 72

      Re: goodtasteishardtofind – Bitch ple4ase I highly doubt that if Britney was really so talentless she'd be the biggest popstar in the world…just admit that no one can beat Britney AND that Lady Gaga ho just wanna be her

      THESE OTHER HOES JUST WANNA BE ME IS THAT MONEY IN YOUR POCKET OR ARE U HAPPY TO SEE ME



    73. 73

      I wish she WOULD lipsynch due to the fact that she SUCKS live! Her performance on Ellen was PATHETIC. She was trying to be all artsy and weird but it was just horrible.

      PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR THE SONG THEY MADE NUMBER 1…. NOT SOME FUCKED UP VERSION OF IT!



    74. 74

      i don't think she should be so proud
      she should lip sync, she's awful
      and she's not original in any way at all
      just because she brings something into the mainstream does not mean she should be taking credit for it
      there isn't a single thing she has done that hasn't been done before.



    75. 75

      perez, you are weak! if you post one more lady gaga/miss california thing you are done. DO WHAT U ARE BEST AT DOING, AND THATS AT POSTING ABOUT CELEBS WE ACTUALLY CARE ABIOUT. FRANKY YOUR SIGHT HAS BEEN WEAK LATELY, FUCKING LIVIN IT UP CRAZY ASS.



    76. 76

      Fuckin Bullshit Perez!! She lip synced on the Sunrise morning show when she was in Australia last. She has good music but she is such a try hard!! She needs to stop dressing for attention and let her music speak for her!!



    77. 77

      Fug.



    78. 78

      Luv GA Ga



    79. 79

      I don't believe her for one second



    80. 80

      She meant Celine Dion isn't an artist as she lip synces too much on her concerts and tv shows. She rarely sings live. Check on youtube these videos:

      FAKE LIPSYNCH (Last 10 yrs) vs LIVE (Early yrs)
      and
      Celine Dion lipsynch proof. The ultimate shame!



    81. 81

      that'll change… it's not like she's the first person to say/promise that.



    82. 82

      I bow down to her!!! I've always dreamed this moment would come!! An artist having the brains and the courage to be a true artist and sing live EVERYTIME!

      That's why I just love her!

      And BTW: I LOVE her matching outfit with the scooter! Amazing!!!



    83. 83

      Nice!



    84. 84

      Bully for her but I still hate her, her slutty image and her bloody disgusting songs/voice.She is however marginally better than that middle aged barren spinster who battles to fill a 5000 venue outside of UK or Australia ..Kylie.



    85. 85

      For the first time I actually have respect for her however, she is still new to this music star thang. Give it time…I'm sure she'll have to occassionally lip sync for whatever reason. Even rappers do it sometimes…and it doesn't even take talent to put on a rap concert!! Don't get me wrong I like some wrap but I realize it doesn't take much energy or talent to do it…just lots of luck and good timing.



    86. 86

      Avril must have upchucked her wheaties after reading this over breakfast.



    87. 87

      too bad nobody wants to listen to her singing live because her voice sucks ass!

      So Prerez likes her for singing live, and what about Avril? She never lipsynced once and sounds amazing live.



    88. 88

      hop on Ga
      Ga……………………….
      WAKE UP RATBASTARD!!!!!!!!!!! you fucktard Perezzzz

      90

      Oh please, has anyone ever watched her live performances on tv?? She has so much background music/singing already playing you can hardly make out WHAT part of it is her singing! I give her 6 months before she has a lip syncing scandal.



    91. 91

      Amy Winehouse should lip synch. Then maybe she might actually finish a song.



    92. 92

      fuck her.madonna doesn do playback



    93. 93

      gaga is bullshit.we cnt satnd her anymore.she lip synging n lots of time.hate her.other artist dont do play back either



    94. 94

      she is all fake



    95. 95

      she can say wherever she wants but this is not true.she is so fake.even her name.loser.ur over.u will never be madonna



    96. 96

      Helloooo. OF COURSE all artists want to sing live. DUH. It's not the artist who decides whether she lipsyncs or not, it's the lable and the venue, they have contracts in place. The bigger the venue, the less they allow for live singing. Just FYI

      oh pleeeeease perez please please please hold your breath



    98. 98

      madonna sings live on her tour

    99. AMO says – reply to this


      99

      I agree. Why do pop stars lip sync anyway? If I went to a concert and saw who I spent $$$ on was faking it I'd be pissed! I'd like to see Lady GaGa stick to what she said. If so, she'd be a true, lasting artist.
