I don’t know how to…type it.. it’s really just the “processed” stuff.. like Brit, Gaga (who does have talent) etc..etc.. with that voice he needs to let it flow… he’s got something so special, like Jennifer does, but she uses it perfect. That’s what people fell in love with, that’s why people said he should have number one songs.

Adam’s style has changed, do you think he could sing “Crawl thru Fire” now? I don’t… I know he did do some processed stuff before, but he also sang his face off, too.

He’s my favorite no matter what.. I hope this doesn’t look like I’m not, because he’s by far my favorite singer.. he and Jennifer have two of the best voices I’ve ever heard.

I know I didn’t make my point, but oh well…

it’s a taped special, not a live broadcast. why do i care if a taped vocal was taped simultaneously with, or separately from, the taped performance? either way, it’s taped, with no pretense of being live.

T rying to pin ‘lip synching’  on a tv program is just lame and meaningless, especially in the case of anybody who’s clearly demonstrated that she’s a real *singer.*

i don’t really get that argument. Obviously both Jennifer and Michael Buble are magnificent singers. But there’s really no getting around that Michael Buble has his mic 18 inches away from his mouth at times and the volume of his voice doesn’t fluctuate.

I see what you’re saying.

All I was trying to say was that the complaint doesn’t really point to anything significant when it’s made about people who can actually, you know, sing. So why complain about it? And, as you mentioned, to the extent that it mattered — though I don’t really see that it mattered at all! — it mattered a tad in the *look* of the thing, and that was clearly a producer/director issue and not a singers’ issue…. which kind of adds up to a ‘so what’ to me….

Wow, I loved the acapella show!

me too.

I’m criticizing the producers of the show, not the singers. Just like when AI for most of this season had lip synching on the group numbers. The producers/director of the show can control it more, but as a performer they must hate it. They aren’t Ashlee Simpson–they don’t need the safety net of pre-recording and auto-tune.

She is so so good. I wish I’d recorded this last night instead of that godawful a cappella show.

Wow, I loved the acapella show! So interesting to see the different approaches and the different strengths and weaknesses of the various groups, to me!

Loved the Jennifer show, too, of course. I was sure she’d do an amazing job on Christmas songs, and she certainly did.
