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!

      Other "singers" (we dare not speak their names brit xtina vag and other talentless "icons") would actually have to be able to sing.

      PEREZ,

      URUGUAY STARTS ALLOWING GAYS AND LESBIANS IN THE MILITARY.

      WORDS FROM THE PRESIDENT TABARE VAZQUEZ:

      "El gobierno uruguayo no discrimina a los ciudadanos por su condición política, su condición étnica o su opción sexual, por lo tanto hemos tomado esta decisión plenamente conscientes de lo que hacíamos y estamos satisfechos de haberla llevado a cabo", dijo Vázquez

      No wonder why she sounded like absolute shit on Idol.



    7. 107

      Re: jayteeran – rap is nothing but talent. don't talk about things you don't know about. if it so easy to do and takes no talent, why don't you go make millions…….i'll be watching for ya!!!
      you apparently have never listened to the best hip hop from early to mid 90's. (pac, biggie, big L, nas, jigga, big pun (terror squad), wu tang, dre….the list goes on and on……)



    8. 108

      I agree with GaGa 100%….she has no need to lip sync anyway, her voice is so powerful live. You go to a show to be blow away by an artist, both vocally as well as by their showmanship and someone who is lip syncing isn't providing you with a true musical experience….it's more like watching a dancing showcase. I refuse to pay good money on an artist to watch them mime. Just one reason why I admire artists like Tori Amos, and our Lady GaGa….nothing but honest performances and outlooks.

      Re: goodtasteishardtofind – kind of ironic you calling people losers and telling them to get a life while you continue to waste so much of YOUR time startng fights with strangers on perez hilton. seems to me that you my dear are the loser. sucks for you.



    11. 111

      GAGA IS THE QUEEN OF POP. VADGE-DONNA IS THE QUEEN OF POOP BECAUSE SHE CAN NOT SING LIVE OR IN TUNE TO HER OWN SONGS. DRESSING LIKE AN OCTOGENARIAN SLUT. LOL!!



    12. 112

      love Love LOVE her!



    13. 113

      Um, yeah, I saw it perform last year in Toronto and it was a hot lip synching mess, emphasis on the MESS - we left before the show was even over. Tranny is so full of herself. In a year from now we'll see where she is.



    14. 114

      i wonder….is she on drugs??? like hallucinogens??



    15. 115

      Re: LICKMYNUTZ – ahahha make me laught.gaga will never be queen.madonna is immortal.gag only has 2 singles and when madonna started was bigger thna gaga .madonna is huge and gaga never will do what madonna did on her career.madonna peformed last yeAR FOR 3 MILLIAN 500 THOUSAND PEOPLE.MOST SUCESSFULL TOUR EVER.MADONNA FIST TOUR WAS HUGE TOO.GAGA IS SMALL.SHITNEY STILL BETTER.MADONNA FIRST .FOREVER.



    16. 116

      GAGA IS FAKE.100%.MADONNAIS REAL.BEST PERFORMER LIVE ,BEST FEMALE ARTIST OF ALL TIME.GAGA??WHO??LETS SEE AFTER 25 YEARS IF SHE STILL HERE LIKE MADONNA IS AND SHE STILL BE NUMBER ONE AND BREAKING RECORDES



    17. 117

      she's just amazing. and good on her for keeping it real! *unlike most 'singers' nowadays. after i saw her performance on Ellen i was even more impressed by her b/c you could tell she wasn't lip synching and we know how hard it must be to sing AND dance. that takes talent and SHE… is talented. hooray for Lady GaGa! :-)



    18. 118

      I wish more performers would sing live, without lip synching. It looks so fake. Do they really need all the electronics in the studio to make them sound good ? Lady GaGa was AWESOME when she sang Poker Face on American Idol. She can play the piano, sing and dance … with endless amounts of energy and passion.I hope she keeps doing what she's doing, for a long time, despite the critics.



    19. 119

      i love her:) and i love when you post stuff about her



    20. 120

      "That’s really fucked up when you lip-synch.”
      My thoughts exactly.



    21. 121

      but she HAS lipsynched, fuck i hate people who lie about lipsyching more than people who actually lipsynching..



    22. 122

      Didn't she lipsynch a lot when "just dance" just came out? And nowadays she still has a recording supporting her voice @ some parts. She can't do it on her own.

      Not saying that she isn't a nice performer, but she is not the best singer.

      P.s. She's not close to replacing Britney as the princess of pop!



    23. 123

      Re: jHainje88
      I saw her at a nightclub in Canada and it wasn't backing vocals it was pure lip-synching no iffs, ands or buts about it!



    24. 124

      Re: Thohm01

      Britney is the princess of pop? OMG give me a break! She is only princess of the trailer trash world. She sucks even on CD's!



    25. 125

      Avril would chew this bozo up,spit her out, and feed her to the papparazi.

      126

      If you feel like that then why do you keep fawning over Britney, perez. She's about the only artist out there that is still 100 percent lipsynching.



    27. 127

      Re: TheQueenBee – lmao



    28. 128

      That´s a very interesting comment coming from someone whose idol is Britney Spears, the playback itself.

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

      And BTW, you GAGA have already lipped B4!



    29. 129

      Re: goodtasteishardtofind – ur fucking stupid….there is no obligation because she had not had an album for 4 years and wanted to put one…secondly that album was amazing……..britney spears actually writes some of her songs and is very talented…so stop hating shrek..

      BRITNEY SPEARS IS THE POP PRINCESS….GAGA DON'T TRY



    30. 130

      good for her
      that's the way it should be,
      when artist's lip synch, it's complete crap.

      if you're going to perform, actually perform. if people wanted to hear you sing perfectly they'd listen to your cd.

    31. Funzo says – reply to this


      131

      I have to like her. I don't enjoy her music, but her attitude towards it absolutely rules, and I can recognize that she's not an untalented lass.



    32. 132

      When I was on stage in the clubs - I sang every show 100% of the time - never backing down. I was the ONLY live perfomer at venues. If the mic had feed back - hey that's what it was. There has been such a change in the past ten or so years, where lip synching was not permitted - so much so - Mili Vanili had their grammy taken from them. REMEMBER THAT AMERICA as you pay 75 dollars a pop to see BRITNEY fake it! In all honesty - just because she's digitized (as was Kanye West) isn't that the same as having someone else sing your vocals for you? Have you no shame? I'd like to see Brit sing on a float driving down 5th avenue LIVE. Lets see her go through what Lady Gaga and I have gone through in order to even CUT a record and SING live. YOU ARE A SINGER! YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO SING - and THAT"S YOUR JOB! GO UP THERE AND SING - LIVE! I can't believe that SINGING LIVE is something rare?



    33. 133

      Perez, usually love your blog, but I'm almost as tired of hearing about thick thighs Gag Ga as I am Miss Cali.



    34. 134

      Whatever! Like her dance routines are that demanding!



    35. 135

      well its good that she does not lipsynch but shes still crappy live .. i saw her last summer whan she whas here in sweden and .. shes not good live! but shes still awsome =P



    36. 136

      there's still a big difference between singing "live" and 100% live. Computer programmes like Auto-Tune can help everybody to sing perfectly live on stage.
      Real singers never sound 100% perfect all the time, because thats just not possible.



    37. 137

      Re: je032288 – I am sorry to burst your bubble - but Brit does NOT write her own songs - she works with writers that help her develop the lyrics. That is not the same as sitting down and scratching out all the lyrics yourself. Furthermore, she is NOT the QUEEN of pop. Just because she has awesome producers that AUTO TUNE THE SHIT out of her voice DOES NOT make her an SINGER. It makes her a fraud. Now her EX Justin - HE's A SINGER/SONG WRITER/ AND VERY GIFTED! There in two seperate leagues. You see him live you are HEARING the REAL THING. NOT him singing over a pre recorded track. SO DON"t GET IT TWISTED!



    38. 138

      thats highly respectable.



    39. 139

      Re: Killing_Time – 100% live. All me! Sorry but clubs don't have auto tune for their live acts - because NO ONE SINGS LIVE! Go figure!



    40. 140

      Re: madonna crowd
      Ha!

      Your such a little pathetic bitch with your Madonna doesn't do playback!

      Madonna invented Auto-Tune, Playback, and Background vocals.



    41. 141

      Re: TheQueenBee – Atually Xtina and Perez put her on the Map with the whole outfit controversy



    42. 142

      Re: DALE – true… so when is fucking britney going to take a hint and stop making music…



    43. 143

      this is fucking old news! and FYI, before she said this comment she lip synced on a show even thought the contract explicitly said no lip syncing. So HA



    44. 144

      Re: goodtasteishardtofind – thank you! thank you! thank you! finally someone with some fucking sense on this damn website! Britney is nothing but a product of the record industry! When will mass media and the public realize that! she is nothing but a blow up doll with Larry Rudolph pulling all the strings while she is on stage and even during her interviews. All her pathetic interviews are calculated. Madonna, though she is not the best singer, created her own path. Christina is currently creating and managing her own path. Even Mariah and Pink!



    45. 145

      your precious britney could learn a thing or 2 from her….id pay to see lady gaga cuz she actually sings; i, however, wouldn't pay to see britney because the fact that she lip syncs is a bunch of crap.



    46. 146

      Good for her — or him.
      I still think she's vile and is a man.



    47. 147

      I'm glad for that vow.
      I saw her performance on the view and you could tell she sings live and that was just fantastic.



    48. 148

      She was on a morning news show in Australia and she lip synched the whole song!!! Shes a liar!



    49. 149

      sometimes you need to lip synch babe



    50. 150

      she is the hottest thing since slice bread.



    51. 151

      this is actually a decent outfit of hers. but she still has bad fashion sense.

    52. 152

      She Lip synced in Australia… EVERYONE KNOWS about it. Check the internet, don't believe Perez' BS!



    53. 153

      thats a great thing for an artist to say.
      now just if we could get more artists to think that way…



    54. 154

      This is just one of many reasons why I like her.. Brit fans paying big bucks to hear her mouth the words.. no thanks! GO GAGA!!



    55. 155

      dazzzzzzzzzzrite ! oh, by the way, nice package lady !

      Re: Toolip – WTF ? courtney sucks cack and britney is a talentless shmuck…ha ha ha ha

      Re: TheQueenBee – any highschool kid could learn her rediculous dance moves.



    58. 158

      Re: Deviancy – this is the era of forced out throw away songs all done for the almighty $$. the quality of the writing is substandard these days. the days of real artists who wrote songs from the heart, for the love of music, songs that will last forever, is long gone.



    59. 159

      YES!! The girl quoted Andy Warhol!! Shes good. Shes gonna go far.



    60. 160


    61. 161

      Better then Britney= queen of playback.



    62. 162

      lady gaga = genious
      perez hilton = amazing
      ladygaga+perezhilton= amazing geniousness



    63. 163

      Gaga is wonderful. Besides being creative and talented she's very smart and is lining out a career for herself. She's going to be around for a good long time, haters, so get used to her.

      164

      its bullshit, she lip synched in aus the first time she came around and the morning show on channel 7 soon after had to apologise for her lip synching. though i still love her!
