Signers mime? Well I suppose it makes sense if you think about it ;)
Don't worry, at some point I shall return and post a response to your intended question :D

when i was at leeds festival last year, i was sure the drummer from "all american rejects" was miming... but then again i could have been so wasted to have been confused by sound and drumstick movement at the same time...

also, im sure busted dont really play their guitars...

Has anyone seen the TOTP with wizard on it when they sit around pretending to have a tea party when they are supposedly performing? or when nirvana performed smells like teen spirit with their 'interesting' guitar playing technique... aparently miming is quite common on TOTP.

i thought since they "revamped" it (made it even worse with that camp guy) that miming performances weren't allowed anymore on it...

[editty] found this abuot nirvana:

Saw this the other week on something (can't remember what). Kurt sang it in the style of Morrisey :eek: and it was really funny

AFAIK TOTP the artists have to sing live but the musicians mime, purely because of the itme it would take to get the sound checks right etc.
Still sucks IMHO

As for these "popstars" well lets face it, they dont have enough talent to get spotted in the hard way, they are prone to ****ing up if the mime it all goes well. Simple really.
Anyone can sing with the help of computer technology.

Its all a conspiracy i tell you

The Chili Peppers defo do not mime ;)

Re: Pop signers MIME? No way!
 

well some do some dont.........i have seen quite a few not mime and they sound better on record then live........

i suppose its quite dependant on each artist, alot of the big stars tend to mime, because they are 'over' with the crowd...such as the highlighted britney spears, lets face it its all a money making excercise anyway.........

Re: Pop signers MIME? No way!
 

busted do for sure especcally with the guitars

Re: Pop signers MIME? No way!
 

Who really cares if they mime ?

Re: Pop signers MIME? No way!
 

what should be important....... why are they doing it ?

can they sing ? (properly)

Re: Pop signers MIME? No way!
 

I don't think it matters for 'studio' performances like Top of the Pops, but I don't like the idea of miming when doing a 'proper' concert - a live performance should be just that, imo.

- plus look at what Milli Vanilli got away with ;)

Re: Pop signers MIME? No way!
 

I have to admit. I was at the Britney Spears concert on Monday, and I have two points. First, it didn't look like Britney was miming, although it would have been difficult for her to sing some of the songs live.

My other point is that whether she sung live or not, I enoyed the concert. The rest of the crowd appeared to enjoy it as well. Surely that is the main thing?

hold on a moment... these people are 'pop singers' there job is to sing ?
