As an artist I can totally see the value in creating new song styles by using comp lyrics. It is just that bad decisions are made when trying to perform said songs live. They need to work out new versions of the song for live performances and not just wing it by deleting words or lip synching.

A sneak peek of the future of Fake News: Lip Synching has been added as a related post - related requested by bareboards2 on that post.

Heeeeeyyyy, I was just singing some 4 Non Blondes at my fence the other day. Does that count? Can I make a video of me lip synching in my backyard, feeling a little... peculiar with my fence?

My adorable fence...

"Internet lip-synching perfected"
No truer words have ever been typed.

I completely agree (although Mouth For War is blocked for me). I do think her cover of Roots Bloody Roots would have been vastly improved if she'd lip synched to it.

That was great! It sounded like Tom Cruise was actually singing along rather than lip synching--I thought I could hear his voice getting picked up by the mics occasionally when he got close to the cameras.

...did you forget to tick the sarcasm box?
Hes lip synching

Ah bugger, I had a skip through to see if there were any obvious lip synch mishaps but it seemed to be kosher... =\

This is my last stab... =D

Sounds like it's speaking in tongues.

FWIW, I agree this is not a dupe. The different lip-synching of this same video yields a different, albeit very similar, joke.

Not to nitpick, but this really shouldn't be tagged as Live Music.

Jagger is lip-synching (nicely), Mick Taylor is fake playing Nicky Hopkins' awesome piano part, and Keith Richards isn't even onstage with the rest of the band (he appears in just a few cutaways). And, of course, there's no audience.

This is one of the promo videos that the Stones shot for the '73 single version of Angie (which is the version of the song we're hearing). Still a really cool video, and nice to have on the Sift.

If Miley Cyrus were to lip synch this version on SNL or some awards show, I'd probably have to start liking her.

Your video, Joseph Gordon Levitt is the Lip Synch King, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Yeah, that's lip-synching for sure. Anyone with half a brain can tell who the actual vocalist is.... cookie monster, of course.

She's totally lip-synching.

Is she lip-synching? I don't see a mic.
