Lady GaGa, 23, has vowed that she will never lip synch to the music at one of her concerts.
The ‘Poker Face’ singer has bucked the trend as set by many of her musical peers, in which pretty pop tarts bob around onstage during their shows and limpy mouth the words to songs they did not write. Not hating, but, I would not pay to watch any of the skanks in the charts move their moufs out of sync and then have the nerve to forget their lyrics and not even do that right.
I always have much more fun slowly ruining my hearing by listening to my MP3 player far too loud and belatedly doing the ‘Single Ladies’ hand wave dance. GaGa has the good manners to try to lure me away from listening to music on mah stereo and insists that people who spend money on concert tickets deserves to hear her f*cking sing.
She says, “I would never even think about it (lip synching). The whole point to me is, if you’re gonna be number one, you better really be f***ing number one. If you’re gonna be on top, you better be able to do all those things, because it’s a real privilege to be able to make music everyday, and I get away with a lot…”
“Andy Warhol says art is what you can get away with, and I get away with a lot with my music and my clothes, and I work really hard so I could truly be a real artist for all my fans. That’s really f***ed up when you lip-synch.” (via a fan site)
