It is, but people who perform in the West End or Broadway have to do it night after night. I don't see the cast of Chicago miming. People somehow think that musical theatre is a rubbish career compared to pop.
Kelly was singing literally completely solo with just a few light backing vocals to fall back on. She did a great job. |

Kelly sang the first part live but once she started dancing it was all lip-synching.

I thought the whole thing was embarrassing. It felt like the outfit and dancers were all smoke and mirrors to mask the lack of presence she has. Her voice was decent enough but her dancing made me lol. It was either that or blush with embarrassment.

the song was awful too - as was the ridiculous pre performance intro video - all those awards for Destinys Child not for Kelly lol And i say this as someone who quite likes Kelly Rowland |

They are singing in a group together with loud backing vocals and a band, it's far easier when there are loads of people there.

Anyone on here who thinks that load of tosh of a performance tonight by Rowland was good is either related to her or deluded! She was dreadful!!!

There are lot of solos in Musical theatre, they don't always sing in a group.
Kelly wasn't miming as some people are suggesting, the evidence was pretty definitive that it was live. |

I guess you missed the part where it was pointed out that Beyonce show was pre-recorded and therefore mistake and editing would have been done to make it perfect. So comparing the two is abit stupid imo as one was live and one was edited. |

I've been to a Beyoncé concert and seen many performances live on TV and was at the Night in that was on tonight and trust me she sounded brilliant. None of that is down to producers 'correcting any mistake made' because it was pre-recorded. She's always been stronger than Kelly.
Anyway I thought Kelly sounded good tonight, but was disappointed. The sound in that performance was a hot messs. The bass in Down For Whatever was near enough none existent. When there were dance breakdowns there was no atmosphere. Dodgy camera angles too. |

99.9% of Popstars are crap in comparison to Beyonce. Kelly was good - better live than most guests we get on XF.

I agree. I've just come on here and will probably get angry if I read comments of people unfairly slating Kelly lol. Can't help it though.

She certainly was for part of the performance ... if you can call it that!
Kelly is a great singer, and live performances like that are hard. She smashed it and doesn't need to resort to trickery and bright colours like certain ex-judges on the show.

her voice hasn't been right since that problem with her throat. still she brought a lot of energy and passion to her performance. there was a part of the second song where she was exposed towards the end. like others suggested, there was some technical issue there.
it was still a good performance though. as per every week the guest performance gets slated on here and in true x factor forum tradition. here is the weekly backlash. |

Where? At no point was she miming. You could CLEARLY hear the volume drop to just light backing vocals when she took her mouth away from the mic.

Kelly / Beyonce / Whoever - This sort of stuff is just sterile and overproduced.
I prefer performers with a little edge, ones who have actual musical talent and can ad lib when they feel like it. White Stripes, Chilli Peppers etc. |
