Eminem might not exactly be losing himself in the moment.
According to one concertgoer’s account, the Eminem and Rihanna concert at the Rose Bowl amounted to “two hours and a half hours of lip synching.”
Although they appreciated his fervor, this member the LA media was not buying the “live” part of his concert performance:
“Sure, he let the backing track do the vast, vast majority of the heavy lifting last night. He was only actually, audibly rapping on a handful of songs, including slower ones like ‘Stan.’ His lip-synching was especially obvious because he’s so animated, constantly gesticulating in a way that pulls the mic away from his mouth, mid-lyric.”
Well, that’s not good to hear.
To be fair, apparently Rihanna lip synched a whole lot less:
“[S]he was actually singing on that one, and in general you could hear her live voice much more often than his”
Wow, if all this is true, we’d be a little disappointed! These two are so musically talented, they should be doing the whole entire show live.
