I know Mariah Carey can sing. There's no doubt about that. In the Milli
Vanilli case, those guys could not sing at all, and they HAD to lip
sink. In the case of the Times Square New Years Eve, there were an
estimated 750,000-1,000,000 people there; maybe 10X the number of people
at a typical Super Bowl. Incredible chaos. You'd think you would have
to have all your ducks lined up plus backups for critical items.

music, you can’t sing even if you wanted to. I am optimistic that the
correct recorded audio did not include the vocal, but even if it did,
huge productions that really cannot have a screwup, like the super
bowl, should be recorded in my opinion.
Physically fit – dancing singers - like J-Lo sure look like they are
singing. I think many of them have too much self respect and pride
of craftsmanship to lip sync. But large spectacles like New Year’s
Eve or the Superbowl should be engineered to not fail and that would
mean lip syncing if I was in charge.

Snafu ruined 10CC... Booed off stage... I prefer live performance even
with few bad notes and stuff.... Watch Steeley Dan recording videos
and you appreciate the work that goes into recording... Early on
Chicago, BST and Todd Rundgren did live studio recordings... Mistakes
and all... Carey has a voice... Shouldn't lip sync

Why should one be surprised ? especially after Milli Vanilli
one can also look at it this way... Remember DJT's comment about
shooting someone at Time's Square ?
Mariah butchered It at Time Square infront of everyone..........

The criticism is probably unfair, since it was a technical
snafu, plus lip syncing is common at this kind of event.
But I question whether Mariah Carey or most pop singing
“icons” can really sing live. Some put on a huge show with
dancing and stuff and I cut them some slack, some like P!nk
and Katy Perry I suspect can actually sing without autotune,
others like Britney Spears probably not. Rihanna is immensely
popular, I like her voice but cannot listen to her songs
because they are so heavily autotuned.
Why do these stars get paid the big bucks, and how are they
different from Milli Vanilli?
Here’s a singer who has no trouble singing live, not famous or
making the big bucks though. Doing OK but not an “icon”.
Life isn’t fair I guess. Maybe being a starving artist keeps
you honest.

Youtube is a treasure for live music videos.
