The above subject has been ruined, reduced to rubble by artists, sponsors and fans. While growing up, for an artist to perform live raced every heartbeat. The vocals; even if without that 100%, The dances should augment. In addition; pantomimes, stage effects should add up. But the vocals must be present. No one expects all to be Celine Dion, Beyonce, R.Kelly, Usher, Yemi Alade, Omawunmi, Aretha Franklin, Flavour, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston etcetera. The aforementioned and many more are Vocalists.

When artists in US Lip-Sync, it's a sin. Egs. The Super Star Beyonce did in 2013, the internet blew up. Famous news outlet, CNN, followed the news till it died when she sang the National Anthem in front of the press. Becky Anderson had to defend her on air, that she was singing along her song. Aretha Franklin did the same. Said, she would have had a playback if she were the one, because the weather wasn't trustworthy, it was winter at that time.

Micheal Jackson Lip-Synced throughout his Superbowl performance, but he danced for about 13 Minutes. That is, performing live.

Madonna Lip-Synced her way throughout the Superbowl, there were stage effects, dances, choreography, backup live singers. After all no one expected her to go round the octaves repeatedly and hit unexpected notes.

There must be something different the fans should watch. They can as well buy your songs and listen to them in the comfort of their toilets while doing the big one, with earphones in the ear.

In Nigeria, the reverse is the norm and well celebrated. Prior to the emergence of the artist, one already knows what he/she would deliver. Stage performances are chaotic, a lot of people hold microphones screaming, putting the audience in wonderland, who did they really pay to watch?.
Lip-Syncing is on another level, Singing-along to one's song could have been better. But artists just move the lips up and down and shout. You are left to wonder, if there was a rehearsal.

It shows how the fans don't matter. Fans are worthless. It shows selfishness. It's all about the money, once in your pocket, give them anything.

Going forward, Nigeria has Vocalists, e.gs Yemi Alade, Flavour, Omawunmi, Waje, Darey Art Alade, Banky W and a few. But, auto tune seems to be taking over those vocals.

In summary, it's dubious to tell a Nation you would be performing live , only to rob them unknowingly.
