Did anyone noticed it looked like he was lipsyncing during the mosh song? I thought to myself that it looked like he was and then they mentioned it in the news on Stern today. I'm not a fan of him though just an observation.

i have come to the conclusion that all pop stars lip sinc in concert.
it is a sad but true fact (according to me)

well most of the times people sing over the track to sex up the vocals
I know pink won't ever lip synch even if she deep throated somebody the night before
anyway I won't support any artist who lip synchs

Yeah, I was never a fan of Eminiem, but I thought he was a credible artist.
I no longer believe he is a credible artist.
No entertainer should be getting paid that much and lipsynch.
I dont care if their voice is shot or what.... still better than a recording.
WTF SNL?

Here's the deal. During the choruses, and sometimes the verses, many artists have layers of their own vocals. So, in order to make it sound good live, they play a track in the background that the artist has recorded earlier, and then they do the lead part live.
So, if for instance they need to catch their breath, it looks like lipsynching. Cos it is. But not the whole song, umkay?

I noticed a little bit of the lip sync too.
It also looked like he was staring at a teleprompter the whole time. he was pretty motionless and his eyes were focused on the front of the stage near the stage monitors....my hunch is there was a flatscreen down there feeding him lyrics.

I'm not a fan of eminem either....I think he's a fake. but that's another story.

...however I DID like him in 8 Mile...

- -leah-0

- Meeklo0

"pop stars" are not new, young musicians, they 're just ads for the putty squeezers....just forget them, they do not even exist

Why the hell do Rappers need to LlipSync!?!?
- crap0
Nas is so damn good

Rapping isn't talking, its a skill. Think about it. You try spitting an entire Eminem verse w/out stopping. If you've ever tried to rap or sing you would know. It takes a ot of good timing, breath control, etc.
If you want to dis rap go ahead. I don;t give a crap. But to say it's easy is ignorant in a way.
I mean I think a lot of bands suck ass and I hate their singers, but I'll at least give them that it's a skill, like it or not.

they add back up tracks to beef the vocals- especially in the chorus... most artists do this especially rappers-
Beastie Boys
Public Enemy
whoeverhell I saw Gang Starr do it- it's not lip syncing- it's just beef- no different yappin over a recorded drumbeat in the first place.

I love Royal Tennenbaums.... always makes me smile.
8 Mile was awright.

To me Eminem isn't so bad as an emcee, it's Dre's production that I don't like, used to, but not since NWA. I've got 2 good records from '98 which displayed how good Eminem could be/could've been:
"ThreeSixtyFive"
