PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE 3 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15. 2001 ARTS ENTERTAINMENT MUSIC, STAGE, MOVIES Loose lips: Pop singers' lip-syncing in concert is an open secret By Thor Christensen The Dailas Morning He" In 1990, after the vocal duo Milli Vanilli turned out to be nothing more than two mimes in Spandex shorts, lip-syncing became the worst-kept secret in pop music. Lawsuits were filed. Legislation was proposed. And most experts predicted that within a few years, singers would stop lip-syncing onstage or at the very least, stop lying about it and proclaim it to be a valid part of their act.

But today, the issue is no closer to being resolved than it was a decade ago. From Janet Jackson's current tour, to the dubious "live" performances by Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys on the recent MTV Awards, the slogan "Is it live or is it Memorex?" remains on the lips of millions of music tans. "It's a question people find irresistible," says Liz Rosenberg, longtime spokeswoman for Madonna, a mum and had her backing vocalists fill in the gap. But while Madonna has learned to strike a balance between spectacle and singing, many younger pop stars continue spinning nonstop across the stage like whirling dervishes. All that manic dancing leaves little room for actual singing or so the explanation goes.

"If Janet sat on the stool and strummed her guitar, she could sing an eight-hour show," Rene Elizondo Janet Jackson's ex-husband and choreographer told The Dallas Morning News in 1998. "Whoever says they don't use taped vocals doesn't dance." Mellencamp says that's a crock "I've been hopping all over the stage for 25 years, and so has Mick Jagger and Roger Daltrey," says the 49-year-old rocker. "And we don't tape nothing." While nobody expects lip-syncers to become extinct in the near future, some observers would rather they come out of the closet reasoning that an honest mime is better than a surreptitious lip-syncer any day. "If the visual spectacular is really good, and I know Ithe voice is taped, I don't really care, to tell you the truth," says former Talking Head singer David Byrne. "If people know it's not real, and they accept that, then why do you have to try to fool them?" singers dodge and deflect questions about lip-syncing.

Janet Jackson one of pop's most notorious onstage lip-syncers conceded to The Dallas Morning News in 1998 she uses "some" taped vocals to augment her live vocals. But she refused to say what percentage of her concert "voice" is taped and how much is live. Spears, speaking before her Dallas show last year at Smirnoff Music Centre, claimed that even though people are "Uiinking I'm lip-syncing I'm singing my butt oft" Maybe so, but her microphone obviously wasn't picking up her "singing" a fact that became obvious when her vocal tape broke during the concert, leaving nothing but dead air. Of course, not every singer accused of faking it actually is. While Madonna picked up a lip-syncing reputation on her 1990 Blonde Ambition tour, she's drastically changed her tune on her current tour.

A close look at her recent HBO concert found the Material Girl to be singing throughout the show. Rather than try to croon and dance up a storm at the same time as she did on previous tours she stayed mostly still during her toughest singing parts and left the dance routines to her backup troupe. And when she did dive into some fancy footwork, she kept her singing to a mini singer who's been dogged by rumors of lip-syncing for years. "There's not a major band or singer out there today that people don't say it Are they really People like to dish and gossip about But some music lovers and musicians don't see it in such trivial terms. Skeptics complain that dancers masquerading as singers are fast becoming the norm and they worry that while fans may still gossip about lip-syncing, they no longer question it.

"Watching a canned show has become totally acceptable behavior, and it's says John Mellen-camp. "It has nothing to do with what I do. It's the difference between watching a drama and a cartoon." The looney-tune world of lip-syncing isn't exactly new to rock 'n' roll. Singers started miming to prerecorded music on "American Bandstand" as early as 1957. But it wasn't until the 1980s when MTV began preaching the message of style over musical substance that pop performers began doing it in concert And while Lip-syncing was obvious in the close-up camera shots of "Bandstand," it was a well-kept secret during late-'80s arena concerts by Milli Vanilli, Madonna and New Kids on the Block.

Thanks to the advent of synthesizer "sampling" and digital tape technology, sound engi- Matt FreedPost-Gazette Rocker John Mellencamp strongly opposes use of taped vocal in live concerts. "It's the difference between watching a drama and a cartoon." neers could suddenly sneak taped vocals in place of real vocals with the audience none the wiser. When concert lip-syncing was finally exposed at the dawn of the '90s, it created an uproar. Angry fans filed lawsuits against New Kids on the Block who, like Milli Vanilli, eventually admitted singing along to tapes in concerts and a New Jersey assemblyman even introduced a bill requiring concert promoters to warn fans when singers used vocal I biittttttljituHHHJ tapes onstage. But the bill petered out, and the hubbub over lip-syncing died as quickly as it arrived.

Today, a generation of concert-goers who go to see 'N Sync, the Backstreet Boys and Spears couldn't care less about the issues of integrity that separate live singing vs. lip-syncing: They just want to see the same nonstop razzle-dazzle dance moves they've seen in videos. The only vestige of the controversy is the ongoing shell game in which one of the producers of "The Producers." "The show must go on." And on Thursday night it did, to cheers and applause from an audience that yelled and clapped even before stars Nathan Lane and GHOST WORLD www.gtiostworld-tliemovie.coin iBiwiii'umSiiii dims lights after attack, but now shows go on STAR CITY CINEMAGIC MANOR SOUTH FAYETTE SQUIRREL HILL 22W89 A CITY South Fayette 14 Bridqeville Exit (54) Off 1-79 SUSS HOUSE (PJ-1JI 5:15, 7:11.

4:30, 7:25. 9:35 Matthew Broderick came on stage. Landesman spoke at the start of the sold-out performance of Broadway's biggest hit, which, he said, was dedicated to "our fellow New Yorkers who died in the senseless tragedy in the World Trade Center." "The show you are going to see is a comedy, and I couldn't be happier that it is a comedy," he said. "I think laughter is a great bonder of people. I don't think anything could be better in terms of making a statement about what is going on than to attend an event where we can all be together and laugh together." Before the shows began, Broadway theaters dimmed their lights, and a quiet fell over arriving theatergoers, even the estimated 150 people waiting in the ticket-cancellation line at "The Producers." The hush was sudden and eerie, broken only by the chimes of theater bells urging latecomers to take their seats.

Broadway shows varied in how they paid their respects to the victims of Tuesday's attacks.

Rocco Landesman, one of the producers of "The Producers" Miserables" planned to observe a moment of silence before the show, said spokesman Marc Thibodeau, while "The Phantom of Opera" would do the same after its curtain fell. Performances resumed at a particularly precarious time for Broadway. The fall season is just beginning, with its first musical, "Urinetown," having to push its opening day back a week until Thursday because of the attacks.

Except for "The Producers" and "The Lion King," tickets are readily available for most shows.

I decided the-Peace Bridge in Buffalo and the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Kills would be too crowded I had heard on the television that trucks were being routed away from the third choice, the bridge between Queenston, Ont, and Lewis-ton, N.Y., north of Niagara Flails. So I headed there, only to find trucks.
