Lolita Lipsync. (T.Swift).
at this point your listening to a robot
Question to viewers: would you rather pay $350 to hear Paul McCartney’s real age-damaged performance or see him lip sync/mime to a backing track. I don’t think many would choose the latter. So why would you pay that to see Taylor Swift, et al, mime? Is it the dancing that makes it worth paying for?
Fil, I suggest you do some video interviews with engineers/technicians who have been working on/creating all these tracks manipulations. I am sure with so many artists there are bound to be some of these engineers/technicians who (for all sorts of reasons) would be prepared to blow the whistle from the inside of the technicals. I would think it'd be very interesting and add another dimension and weight to your research into these manipulations.
Most of the divas have always been fakes, in their early days their vocals in the studio were at the least "cleaned up" by Sheryl Crow, it's how she made money to get her band off the ground and it was also her you heard live. Madonna's excuse was you can't dance and sing at the same time, Sheryl never revealed who she sang for exactly, but we can assume it was Madonnna, Abdul, Carey, etc, who is doing it now is a great question.
Maybe they have got some kind of auto comping software? A lot of work for someone otherwise but then again, considering the size of her operation, only a relatively small extra thing to have someone working on a new comp for each show or so.
They are gonna have you killed man hahaha. Can't believe this.
Did you watch the today show performance where the backing track didn’t come in and she had to sing that last part live? Would’ve been interesting to compare
Also would love to see some analysis of Beyoncé live. Especially the Renaissance tour
So??
It’s still Mariah’s voice after all.
People are giving a pass to newer “singers” because they sing and dance??
It’s so pathetic!!
Mariah is a LEGACY ARTIST!
She came from the dying breed of artists we call Divas!!
Greatness really is a double edge sword!!
I’ve never seen an artist scrutinized as Mariah!!
Especially vocally.
Every run, every rift, every note changes was like put in a microscope to dissect and examine.
It excessively looked like an obsession of a fan turned to hater.
It’s so disgusting!
GIVE MARIAH A BREAK!!!
What if Mariah Carey pre-record her voice for each particular performance, then they correct it, and then she lip sincs to it? May be because the venue is different, or there will be different backing music, or even different choreography.
It doesn't make sense to make the work of recording variations from a library thinking that ten years later come dude would be comparing the sound waves.
But honestly: Even the pre- recorded parts don't sound very good. 🤷♂️
At least Jon Bon Jovi sings everything live
God bless you for listening to 15 Mariah Carey performances. Took one for the team.
This is fascinating and brilliant analysis.
I will say, however that I do not agree with many comments implying this sort of practice is a fraud. It’s only a fraud if you make explicit or implicit representations that the whole things live which of course these artists do not do. That sort of criticism also raises the issue of why people going to concerts. You cant assume that they really care if the person is really singing or singing without any backing tracks.
I think a more credible interpretation is that people are just paying to see a show by someone they like. And let’s face it, even Mariah Carey who a mini industry sings one dimensional popular music fluff. She got a great voice but the songs are artistic tripe. Like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and others.
Even in some imaginary world where they were required to make full disclosure that would be very complicated. To what sort of level would you need to describe? What if they sing a live vocal and it has lots of backing tracks pre-recorded?
This level of popular music is basically a business 100% and nothing more. So what’s important is a consistent high-quality product. These sort of processes enable that and I’m sure the fans couldn’t give a rats arse.
Question: What about the fact that she pulls away from the mic when she does those higher sections? Would that make the sound drier?
Some of the parts where you were saying it was a perfect match, like 21:20, actually wasn't.
This is a fantastic amount of voice editing to put into a song I don't even like.
I'm speechless … Super interesting but also so tragic. Thank you for this, I think it's so important that things like this is exposed. Thank you. Thank you!
…and us pesky Mariah Carey sound guys would have gotten away with it but for the meddling forensic detailed objective data analysis of that Fil fella 🙂
If I were a well known, highly regarded professional singer and I found out that my vocals were being autotuned or pitch-corrected or whatever, I would be rather upset because the people doing it clearly don't believe my singing was any good.
As a Mariah fan (her prime anyway), I think it's great that you're exposing what a lot of her fanbase has noticed and heavily criticized over the years.
Throughout the years she gradually relied more and more on lipsynching, which is really a shame and disgraceful coming from what used to be one of the best live pop voices ever.
Mostly due to nodules, and poor habits when it comes to exercising and taking proper care of her voice (excessive alcohol drinking, lack of sleep, no proper vocal training)…her voice changed dramatically, not being able to do the things she once was able to do.
So in her mind, instead of admitting it, she thought it would be better to pretend her voice hasn't changed that much and that she's still able to sing like she did by lipsynching her way through entire songs.
While I can empathize with the insecurities her vocal changes make her feel, and how tough it is for someone once hailed one of the best vocalists to admit her abilities are heavily diminished, the very best thing for her would be to just admit it publicly and get it over with. Truth sets you free.
If she'd do that, I really think she would be in a much better place psychologically and maybe even vocally (less pressure and stress to keep a facade up would probably help her voice).
But at this point I doubt she'll ever admit it. She keeps doubling down on it, which really is a fall from grace and awful to watch.
Anyway, great job at exposing these lies. Lipsynching and pitch correction became too prevalent in today's music…it needs to go away so keep exposing the artists that do it. They should all be exposed.
Bring integrity back into music.
You either have the chops or you don't.
If you don't have the chops, you should not have a career. Period.
Back in the day you really REALLY had to be talented in order to make it. No tricks, no lying, no corrections…just raw talent.
So yeah…bring sanity and integrity back into the music industry.
I think I understand most of this. Are the singers saving their voices by dong this ? Is there some other reason ? Voices not so great nowadays ?
It make sense for her to use different parts and pieces for the backing track because it’s kind of her trademark to add here and there little embellishments to show off her craftsmanships. Kind of ironic that this pieces, that should show her genuine talent are archived with backing tracks.
"I am the great Oz! Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain." Absolutely love it Fil. Never a dull moment.😉
Let’s just say that excessive cocaine use will destroy a singing voice. She will deny it, however, one of her past relationships has told me very clearly about her habit and its side effects.
Oh bullshit, there's nothing wrong with auto tuning Mariah's voice…she earned it !!
Are you looking at things reversed because you said that the AMA was on the left but it's actually on the right in your video.
Fil, are you aware that you can turn off Auto scroll in the settings of your app? I keep mine off and I just scroll the vertical position manually if it needs adjustment.
Like an FBI investigation being proven in Federal Court…
Mariah paid her dues in the industry. She’s been performing for more than 30 years and she has nodules that made singing harder throughout the years. Her music is insanely hard for someone with no health problems so leave this legend alone!
15 performances over 19 years…
I think everybody should be grateful that Fil uses his powers for good.
Imagine a pissed off Fil deciding to track you down 😅
Also, Mariah C has been cloned
❤
I didn't know how anyone can listen to that soulless dance pop. Even when I was a kid I hated it.
MilliVanilli-music
It seems most of these big stars are either miming or using auto tuning, I would never pay money to see any of these artists, plus I can't stand this type of music. Give me an opera or my main love, a heavy metal concert. Yes bands, like WASP use backing tracks and Blackie's honest about that, (I've seen WASP live 8 times, always at or near the front and I've never seen him mime. Yes he sings over backing tracks but no miming) but, on the whole with live metal bands, what hear is real.
The amount of work you have put into this video is incredible. It's greatly appreciated
Great exposure 👍 the rule doing it unfortunately and taking money, nice job Fil 👍
Way to much time on your hands get out your bubble enjoy the world peoples embarrassing sit in a room all day alone like get a life.
I wish i knew what this was about?!!
The thing with Mariah is- it is so obvious when she sings live and when she is faking it… only people who don't see are her fans. But I don't think she is even trying hard to pretend cause she is bad at pretending
I'm not a famous singer, but this feels like a lot work. More than just singing. I get being sick, over straining and such that they might need a backup occasionally, but to have a bunch of backtracks to make it seem like live? Extra deceptive, in my opinion.
This is another reason why the word 'kayfabe' has so many applications outside pro wrestling
