Thats for sure, but if it is horrible then something is up. They must be at least able to sing decently for it to be excusable.
Sorry love. You haven't seen Muse. I don't think Lady Gaga is horrible live. She could certainly be better. That'll come with time, I'm sure.
I say that cos I've seen a few pretty bad performances by rock/metal bands. What song did she perform at the MTV music awards? Did you see the performance where she nearly collapsed on stage because she was so exhausted but continued on, but instead of singing and dancing, she sat down? Most played song on iTunes for me.
One thing you can say Sarah, is at least Lady GaGa sings live. I watching some late night talk show and Miley Cyrus was on there and she said he doesn't care is people think he can't sing very good live because at least she is singing.
Tokio Hotel? I've seen clips of her on Youtube and she seems to sound fine, but I can't guarantee they aren't doctored or whatever.
I think she's not like any other pop singer. this kinda proves it: http://www.last.fm/charts/artist - she's the only female act, and the only pop artist in the top twenty. her only competition there is the beatles... anyways i think that the way she's so successful these days and being treated as a legend, only after 2 years she's around is pretty epic (ALL of her singles are top 10)
This Chinese singer lip syncs - she geld the microphone upside down. ROFL. [video=youtube;zjxRsvgADDI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjxRsvgADDI[/video]
Britney Spears never sings live, but I'm pretty sure she's the only singer to do so these days. Many singers used to do it a few years ago, but I guess people realized that singers are fooling them by lip syncing.
I'm so tired of this "slut-pop". Her music is nothing new, just another pathetic, talentless popstar singing dance-pop and club tunes. I hope we never have to hear from her or the even worse Kesha ever again.
Chester has done it. Jared Leto can do it. Lots of great singers out there are just as good, if not better live.
