i think they use artists to do the lip syncing for the benefit of the audiences watching on tv. I guess to make the artist sound like they do in the music videos. I'm sure she actually performed for the live audience as the sound was blocked out.
She's definitely lip-syncing but I think it's just the show format cuz I watched a lot of artists on this show and they're lip-syncing too - Mandy Moore, Christina Aguilera etc. While she's lip-syncing, there are plenty of clips of her actually singing AND dancing to this song so no biggie. It's not like she couldn't sing live (see right hand panel lol) or was Manila Vanilli with it-no she wasn't
yea alot of artist do lip sync on here but this is the first time she lip sync for a show well on soul train show to alot of them lip sync on there to
All of you Aaliyah haters..fuck off..get a life..why are you watching someone you don't like..because you know she was/is the shit..and you are hating!!
@swi45 And a hater is not a person who dislikes 1 or a few things minor about somebody, like i dislike this performance cos its not live I DONT CARE WHAT U THINK, shes good enough to sing live but she didnt so i didnt like it but a hater is somebody hating on a successful move and im far from a hater dont rinse out the damn word and i hope u dont go and make a "leave Britney alone" type of video cos of this LOL. calm down.
@Princess19503 Yes I know Aaliyah was supposed to be lip sync that's why i said she obviously was lip syncing lol and i never said that anyone was denying that and yes someone got offended by me saying the truth and it was mszclaudia1 because that person said "you have to lip sync on Top of the Pops so YOUR the retard" I never said that she didn't have lip sync on Top of the Pops so by you saying that nobody got offended was not true so your statement just went out the door you BIMBO lol
@ MrDavinci298 Very true i agree with you she's lip syncing and it is so obvious but these retarded Aaliyah fans get all upset when you speak the truth about her why get so offended when it's the truth? LOL
@BornForDestruction12 I couldn't agree with you more aswell but at the same time I don't hate Aaliyah or Aaliyah fans I mean i like her but the truth is the truth whether Aaliyah fans like it or not LOL!
@mszclaudia1 I'm a retard because i was stating the obvious? So you got offended just because i said she was lip syncing and it was true and you called me a retard for that? i was saying the truth and i never said no one was denying it and I was meaning that you guys are retarded Aaliyah fans for liking her not because i was saying you retarded Aaliyah fans were denying that she was lip syncing btw i thought bras were meant for boobs not tissues you retarded Aaliyah stop your crying lol
I'm sick of people saying Aaliyah wasn't the best singer. Listen to I care 4 u..she killed it! Beyonce could never deliever a song like that! she proved that on Justin Timberlake's remix, end of time.
@swi45 shut up please...YES I KNOW SHES DEAD AND EVERYBODY IS SCARED TO BE HONEST ABOUT HER (for fear of being haunted) TALENT SO THEY SAY SHES THE BEST SINGER EVER...And yes i used capitals, but come on now she wasnt the best singer, she was very good but NOT the best. Im sick of people saying an artist whos dead was the best ever to do it thats why in hip hop people say biggie, pac, big L, pun ect are all number one. GET REAL.
@straydupshemzy Did I say she was the best singer..no I didn't...and if you don't like her then why the hell are you looking at her stuff. Please..ure a hater.
@MidwestFemcee765 she could sing , she just hated singing live because she was very shy .thats why she recorded music with the lights off , which explains why her studio work sounds better than her live , but i agree what the rest of wht you said .
@MidwestFemcee765 She wasn't the best singer, but she was a very good singer (check out "the one i gave my heart" to on bet live) and her tone and daring musical tastes (Timbaland before he was on anyone's radar and a planned collabo with NIN's Trent Reznor) made her uniquely great. When everyone else her age was doing bubble-gum soul and disney-dance music, she was digging timbaland and missy out of obscurity and altering the direction of popular music .
I bought the single when it came out in the UK and went to see the movie, a catchy song with a great message - its SO FUSTRATING knowing that her career would have got so much bigger, it annoys me that we are only left to wonder what could have been - I miss her badly, listening to her music and watching clips is a comfort...no matter how many years pass, its still hard accepting she's gone. It's not right.
it's crazy to believe she was only 21 she looks a little older (not in a bad way she was still gorgeous) but her dancing was on point as always r.i.p angel. :)
I dont care what people say, aaliyah was without a doubt, the greatest singer ever put on the face of this earth and one of gods greatest gifts to us, theirs no one else like her, and god needed her with him, she was too good for earth, she was a angel. She was a perfect person in this inperfect world.
@NoMoreBubbleGum1 I almost agree she was great and I love her but I can't say she was the "greatest singer ever" when people like Mariah, Christina Whiteny and MJ. But she is up there on my list. I think the thing i like most about her is that she was humble and didn't take anything for granted like some people in hollywood = )
i freakinn love the way she dances
