____shawnee 4,118 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 A lot of Western artists do this to make the song easier to sing, I feel like this would be especially useful in kpop since they have choreography. It'll help the ones with less stamina and the ones that have trouble reaching certain notes while dancing. But kpop companies are so intent on sticking as closely to the original as possible.

ErikaEGO 8,626 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I honestly don't see the problem with groups lip-synching , I DON'T. Like it makes the performance better, the artists don't sound out of breath, they can dance to their full capability. For me, the experience is more important than singing live.

Why Gee? 2,238 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yus. Especially if they're not great live performers... AND THE SONG IS HIGH PITCHED AF Choa's voice is probably shot by now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F05xu9XDLNw I was a bit disappointed tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no one wants to see lip syncing to tame choreography like Mr.Mr. or Ring My Bell. I think that applies more to boy groups and certain girl group songs like Mamma Mia and I Got A Boy.

I'm always worried for vocalists like Leo and Taeyeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkilene 5,738 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm not sure why 90% of girl group songs are pitched so high to begin with. I'd almost like to see a study done about this, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because they are catered to the main vocalist who is usually a soprano. See SISTAR songs for example. Dasom is an alto but is forced to sing in a higher tone because the song is tailored to Hyolyn's vocal range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neojasnee 2,751 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If the song is too high pitched then yes but other than that no. They trained to sing live so do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(you would actually mean contralto since alto isnt a voice type) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsomessedup 32 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 maybe if they're going to butcher it in the original most people can't tell anyway that being said lowering keys is a huge pet peeve of mine once i listen to the original (sometimes the original isn't even the original) i can't unstick it in my head if they can't sing it live without tinkering with the song then they should make the studio version lower too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joylandnationalpark 1,872 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Depends on how high the song is pitched. If it's like T-ara annoying chipmunk voices on Lovey Dovey then yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stupid Jellyfish 1,913 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Depends on how talented the group is. Some groups definitely need to do this. Then there are groups like SHINee that can sing well AND execute their choreography at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikaEGO 8,626 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Your point? This had nothing to do with singing badly, I said I liked lip-synching. Work on your shading girl k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it to be the opposite when it comes to live performances. The idols put in more effort into their performance when they sing live. Good examples would be all SM groups, since they usually lip sync during their comeback stages. That's why I usually wait for the second week of promos for SM groups.

BadBadNotGood 11,616 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 No, tbh. Either make the choreo a bit lighter, make songs that are easier to sing, or train the idols better. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
