Belinda Carlisle Lip syncing?

Question

Saw Belinda Carlisle in concert this past Sunday night in Clarkston MI. She was great. My wife and I did notice that maybe she was lip-syncing. She sounded really good so maybe she was. Is this a common practise or what?

Answer 1

She has been lip synching! Last night Belinda opened for the B52s at a concert in Brighton Brooklyn, and I knew she sounded too perfect. No ones vocals are THAT clean without some sort of digital enhancement. If one is a opera singer or a theatrical vocalist, then that's different but Belinda is neither.

Sure enough she did not have a band and once Belinda got to "Heaven is a Place on Earth" the begining of the song went before she could finish talking to the audience. Afterwards she sang minus the voice track. She needs to go and get a good vocal coach because she sounds strained.
