Let's talk lip-synch

i mean i’d kinda care if it was a ballad, but i usually don’t, especially during comeback promotions. dancing and singing at the same time is already exhausting, and doing it multiple times a week with the schedules they have simply doesn’t seem healthy. a bit of backtrack also doesn’t hurt tbh, as it can fill in the vocals that are obviously going to be slightly shaky while their bodies are moving like that, and you can usually hear/see when they’re relying on it and when they’re not.

i guess my general point is that if it’s a performance based song, then obviously said performance will take a toll on their bodies and it shouldn’t be expected that they sing it completely live 100% of the time. i’d focus on their dance and overall stage for those, but vocal based songs shouldn’t really be lipsynched if it’s possible to avoid it (again with heavy promotions, i feel its excusable if someone has a bad day and opts to lip it instead to let other members shine and not “ruin” the performance etc.)

and while not fully live, i still consider it live singing if the backtrack is muted to the point that you can hear the difference between lines that are lipped and lines that aren’t.
