What pisses me off are the 40-50 year old women completely satisfied with the show because Jon shook his ass a few times and smiled "right at them". So sick of that excusing a lackluster, short set, full of mistakes, and now, at the very least, a backing track. If I wanted Lady Gaga, I'd go see Lady Gaga.

But we're acting like the whole show is lipsynced. It's not. Clearly something went very wrong here but we can't be mad at the band for sounding robot perfecting and also for sounding terrible this tour.

she does not lip sync, change it to Britney Spears

someone in the back messed up, I can't say that he would never do playback live but I know he would make a shitty one

At work so don't have time to get into it now, but when I get home I"ll give a much more detailed review. Many things I noticed and was pissed about.

Maybe the recording was supposed to play in their IEM's (to play along with) and accidentally got played over the PA?

Maybe it was an audible that got triggered by mistake?

Look, the solo was there intact. The solo. That is played live every other time. Maybe it's a guide track? This is slowly sliding off the rails and accusing them of being diva pop stars is a little much. I just can't imagine the band was to mime to the studio recording.

bands use these type of tracks often to beef up the sound live, especially on singles and such. But putting the volume louder than the band is a hell of a mistake to make, someone's gonna be out of a job really soon! What baffles me is why use the whole song and not set samples on certain parts? It's not like they're short staffed!

Been glancing at this thread throughout the day but wasn't able to stop and watch the videos until now.

Wow. That looks really bad. If it was an ill-thought April Fool's prank, it's one that someone has probably been fired for by now.

But I feel like if Jon had been lip syncing THINFS this whole time, or even before now, someone here would have noticed... right? Also, if he were lip syncing, you'd only need the vocal track, not a studio version on playback; it's not like the rest of the band can't play anymore.

I honestly don't know what to think, but the idea of Jon needing or wanting to lip sync this breaks my heart, more so than the thought of his previously good voice being gone forever.
