GUEST,Jason Heuberger Lip-synching: Art or Rip-off? (181* d) RE: Lip-synching: Art or Rip-off? 27 Sep 14


I have followed Celtic Woman around for many years now, and have researched each of the artists that are in the group. I have watched videos of them singing at younger ages. I have watched videos of Mairead playing outside of concerts. They are not fake. I have been to their concert previously. By your statement, you make it sound like if something is played perfectly and sung perfectly, then it is fake? So Mozart was fake? Bach was fake? AC/DC was fake? Jackson 5 was fake? I'm also part Irish and I can assure, the Irish are to proud of their musical heritage to even think about faking a live concert. Mairead has been playing for to long to even think about insulting her craft like that. The issue here, is that you people are used to listening to American music that has been vocally corrected on DVD's and CD's so that when you hear them in concert, they sound off key. Celtic Woman, do not hire slobs that can't sing. They take the best of the best. Do you think that just anyone can become part of Celtic Woman? No. You not only insult an amazing group of musicians and singers, but you insult a whole heritage by saying that they are fake. By claiming that their chest movement and mouths are matched up right, so you can out sing them? Or you have experience in any type of musical arena to know what to look for? When a singer is properly singing, there shouldn't be a bunch of body movement from their chest. If there is, they are singing wrong. When you are singing correctly, you are using your diaphragm...which would not make your whole chest move. If your throat is making a bunch of movements, then that means you are not singing from your diaphragm, you are singing from your throat, which would making hitting the high note perfectly, impossible. to properly sing, you would use both your diaphragm and opening your throat as if you were yawning. Doing this would making chest movement minimal and throat movement almost non-existent. If they were faking anything, then out of the millions of people that have heard and seen them in concert, more than 5 or 6 people would be bringing it to the light. That major musical critics have not and currently aren't, stands by itself, as evidence that they are not faking their concerts.
