I agree too. If I'm paying to see them, they better be singing live.

I give a pass for the Superbowl too, although, I would be disappointed if Paul McCartney or Tom Petty, or any rock star lip synced. Even if the sound is terrible.

I guess we are talking about two different types of entertainment acts here. Those that feel they must dance around and put on a big production and those who entertain by "just" singing and playing their instruments. I prefer the latter over all.

Yeah. If I want to see a dance review, I'll go to Vegas. Give me a real concert!

Yes, you're right, but people like J Lo, Rhianna, & Madonna are supposed to be singers. They should be singing.They can put on a big production & still sing, if they let the dancers do the dancing. They should be singing. I would never see these shows anyway, so to me it's a mood point, but if people are paying for a singer, they should get a singer. Dance shows have become the norm for a lot of these performers. Give me a concert any day. I don't need to see a bunch of dancers. It's just distracting IMO.
The Superbowl is really just the one exception, but I would still rather have a live singer.

To me, Singers dancing is good IMO. It shows that they Not only Can Sing but can choreograph their own moves. IMO

EL; So would you rather they dance & lip sync, because that's what they are doing? More than likely they do not choreograph the moves, they have a choreographer who does that. When they are doing a high energy dance, you can bet that they aren't singing, it's a recording.

I totally agree that I absolutely don't want to go to a live concert to hear a singer lip sync!

But I also give a big pass on the Super Bowl Halftime show, particularly considering the way the sound has sucked so hard in some of the past shows. It is supposed to be a 10 - 15 minute live show for sheer entertainment. And to me, Madonna's show was very entertaining. I loved the way it was choreographed - especially Vogue.
