Well, some clarification is in order. I wasn't addressing this particular performance at all. I was speaking in general because I was responding to a statement you had made that appeared to be general in nature. Sorry for the mixup.

People can conclude what they want, but I really don’t see how I am not supposed to feel deceived by this.

Again, I wasn't addressing this particular performance. Trust me, I do understand how you feel about the deception issue. I have played in bands and performed live, and I have run sound for bands. I know the hard work and effort people put in to do it. It used to frustrate me when people were fooled by lip-syncing. I guess I've learned to somewhat accept it.

I came here to praise Alizée’s “live” performance (and I also said in another thread that her live voice seemed to have gotten better, as of late), but then, I felt that I had been deceived by the “Les Années bonheur” performance. You don’t think this performance was deceiving and, respectfully, I beleive you are wrong. My other point is that Alizée has yet to show that she can consistently perform well (not extraordinarily well, just well) in her live performances. Here, I am sorry to say that I don’t know if you have been arguing this point, or you have simply tried to explain why this is the case. Well, unless you or I come up with something that hasn’t yet been said already, I suppose this won’t get much further.   |
Let's just put it this way, I guess I didn't feel deceived by this because I suppose I've come to expect it after watching so many of these TV performances. I guess that's kind of sad in a way. Again, just to be clear, my previous post was meant as a general explanation. It wasn't meant to offer a defense for the practice of staging "live" performances with prerecorded sound.
