I love that everyone is being understanding and defending her. Again, Haters will not like this LOL

Even the song “Set My Heart On Fire” were mentioned.

French musical director gave again his version, she sang for real.

Is it really necessary to dwell on that and question it? They should question the artist in the golden dress who didn’t even have a microphone and made tons of obvious lipping bloopers! Gosh, leave Celine alone… Edited October 17, 2024 at 02:13 PM by ryba

Will Celine Dion still be able to sing like before?

She had a microphone, the one they have around the head. But ir was turned off, as was Céline's

[zuv]

I always wondered why when she lip syncs doesn’t she just turn off the mic and actually sing along the track so it actually looks like she is singing and not miming. Because us as fans we know within two seconds just by looking at her if she’s miming or not. Her jaw shakes to pretend its working, She doesn’t show much teeth… Etc

[smw]

There’s a bit more focus on Celine’s voice because of how much she was struggling in the documentary due to her condition.

 

But I don’t think most people care. Lipping is so common at these huge events.

 

I’m grateful we got to hear Celine sing live a little bit in her recent interviews.

I guess because she also uses it as breaks to rest her voice sometimes?

 

We know that she said that, with SPS, she was not able to do great things with her voice for a sustained amount of time or repeatedly during the same show (“If I go high now, I won’t be able to go as high the next time”, and so on). She cut her soundchecks short and didn’t practice like she would’ve liked to, in order to save the few attempts her condition allowed her for the actual show. Might explain part of her lipping habits.

I think there's more to it. Celine became worse at lipping as the time went, in my opinion.

 

In the 90s, I think she was mostly flawless with pre-recorded live tracks. For example, I always thought that The Power of the Dream was live at the Olympics. It was only here at the forum that I learned that she was lipping. Also, that The Reason performance that caused huge debates of whether it was live or not.

 

But in the 2000s, it became extremely obvious. Like look at those MHWGO lipped performances in A New Day shots (even those before the DVD). It was soooo evident that she was not singing live...

 

I do wonder what caused this. Or maybe I'm cherry picking - let me know what you think!

She’s singing along with the pre recorded track. It was proven during glitches when switching to pre recorded. Most likely in MHWGO, the “yooooou’re” part only (it was also in Courage World Tour), also in June 2018 during the 2 day rehearsal for the Asia Tour. The IACBTMN pre recorded didn’t play for 2 secs and we can hear Celine’s voice (there were nights when…)

 

That’s why when she’s in pre recorded track. It matches everything and we can still see the veins on her neck because she is still singing but the sound guy automatically switches off the mic in order to play the track

 

Like this one

 

June 9 2018 Las Vegas IACBTMN

 

At 7:04

 

But when she’s singing along with the track she doesn’t give her full voice like the one we’re hearing in the video that 2 secs live of IACBTMN.

 

Because in 2019, rehearsals for BTS HYDE PARK she sang that Live in her full voice that’s why it sounded better.

I don’t necessarily notice a trend. She was bad at lipping (as in she made it very obvious) when she started in the 80s, and there are many “obvious” performances from the 90s too, think for example her performance of “When I Need You”, among others. Similarly, in recent years it’s not always that obvious when she lips, especially during regular concerts. The Olympics performance is just an example of a bad one.

I have always thought Celine's a lip-sync Master! We obviously know her mannerisms but most people don't. Hence, she's got away with it for so many years. Edited October 19, 2024 at 03:16 PM by LukeD

The only way to really tell for me is she becomes more dramatic when lipping. The excessive lip quiver is the dead away, and also she’s more hand movement happy when she’s lipping.

 

This performance in Las Vegas and the hand movements and lip quiver comes to mind.

What performance of When I need You do you mean by the way? I talked specifically about lipping to pre-recorded tracks. I think that WINY would be lipping to the album version? Now, I believe lipping to the studio version is always dead giveaway because the picture doesn’t match the sound. You can’t sing like that live; the vocals and sound are too polished.

And when she does angry eyebrows and her eyes look from left to right during a note/notes is the other giveaway.

I agree with this. My mom couldn’t tell that she was lipping when I saw her. If we’re going to talk lipping in general should we put it in a different topic? Just so there aren’t pages and pages about it in so many other topics as it’s a common discussion here.

Yes, the studio version. But I was mainly talking about mannerisms and facial expression, which is the one true giveaway for Céline.

Please not... it would be a fun ride for the all haters...

True

[LukeD]

The YT video surpassed 1m views in 10 days. Had it been released after the performance it would get 10m views in 1 day. BUT OH WELL!

At least it’s finally on her official channel! Now we just need to get BYLM and BATB uploaded.

But damn that thumbnail is stunning!

[ryba]

I think that this delay between the performance and its release is their momentum strategy, which is questionable because you should release when people are most interested, not when the interest fades Edited October 22, 2024 at 05:11 AM by ryba
