Yep, I just saw BoA a couple of days ago as well and you could tell right away that she was lip synching. When someone lip synchs, it's usually very apparent and doesn't need to be discussed whether the person is lip synching or not.

I saw Ayu live 2 nights in a row and I remember hearing slight differences. Like I remember on night 1, her voice cracked on one of the notes in Carols, but then in the second night, it did not - so unless she recorded multiple versions to lip synch to live - she doesn't lip synch. Almost every speculation of lip synching is Avex dubbing over the original track.

I do think she may have lip synched that performance in Korea though. Not really suprising though since lip synching is very accepted there, unfortunately.

But for me, part of a singers performance, is to actually SING.

And it is possible to dance and sing at the same time, it's certainly not as easy, but BoA herself does it quite often in her Japanese performances(even though the dancing isn't AS full out as in her Korean performances.) Also check out Namie's tours. She dances the hell out of them and her singing doesn't suffer very much.

BoA also dances ... and this topic is also not about other artists.

A fanclub or something specifically asked BoA that if singing and dancing at the same time is going to water down the performance of both, they'd prefer if she lip-synched since they already knew that she could sing (hence why they bought those album thingies) and wanted to go see her dance. I have no desire to root out the news article about this so tough beans.

Ayu has never lip synched an entire song, that i do believe. But she has lip synched parts of songs, and if anyone thinks she hasn't, i'm sorry but that's just plain ignorance.

Hmm ... that makes sense ... I remember watching one performance in dome tour that was a little bit peculiar in the chorus or something. However, a lot of times you can tell that she's not lip syncing.

I'd rather sound crappy than lip synch. People put their money into seeing their favorite artist live.

From what I heard, not a lot of artists lip synch in Japan, but there are some that do it.

I went in 5 concerts and I also saw a live TV and for all this, Ayumi didn't lip synch. I'm sure of that cause you can clearly hear when she's crying or smiling in her voice. And I should add that she doesn't fake her tears, cause she doesn't cry at the same moment in concert. I saw the ARENA 2003-4 in Osaka and she didn't cry and sang perfectly (without lip synching) Teddy bear and Memorial address, it was amazing (one of my best Ayu concert for emotion maybe). I saw also 2 differents concerts of the MY STORY TOUR in the first one she cried during replace only, in the other she didn't but was about during Moments and did cry during walking proud.
In the CDL2004-5 she didn't lip synch during M, it's was her real voice, yes Ayumi can do some really good performances in live, why people think then that she's lip synching....

For the songs like UNITE!, evolution, Greatful days she sings on her own voice, in concert her voice covers the background voice, but if she doesn't sing you can clearly hear the background voice (like in the CDL2001-2 in the TV version since the microphone didn't work perfectly and finally here yes Ayumi did lip synch during the chorus).

Finally please remember that the DVD are edited, you can't judge on DVDs.

There is only few times where she did lip synch, in a TV live of SEASONS at Music Museum, during UNITE! and evolution in the CDL2002-3 since she was sick and maybe at Asia song festival in Korea, I think it's all.

Yeah, I don't think her emotion is faked either. She didn't cry at either Hiroshima concert that I went to, but I heard she was tears a plenty at the last concert in Tokyo. Wait, actually she did cry at the one where they gave her a cake for the anniversary of Poker Face - she didn't cry durring any of the songs though.

I think the Seasons performance on Music Museum is one of the only lives that I don't have. Know where I can get it?
