Im not really that bothered that they lipsynched to be honest. :/ Fair enough i may have been if i was at that gig but i dont really think its that big a deal, in my opinion anyway. For all we know there may have been a reason for it that we dont know about.

Well they mimed 3 shows, not just one. They shouldn't be lipsyncing. We know they play AWESOME live shows, so I don't understand why they lipsynced these radio shows. Especially as it was only 5 songs.
Still, we hope that they learn from this.

It may not have been their choice, they may have been made to lipsync. I guess we'll just never know.

I'm actually ashamed that they would mime like that. I mean I've seen them live and it's not like they don't have the ability to perform greatly so why make a fool of yourself by miming now? It's stupid and it really puts a downer on a band when they do it. It's false hope of seeing their talent in person. But I'm guessing it wasn't their choice, maybe it was a publicity stunt thing so that they get more attention? If so it's a stupid way to go about it. I can't imagine Bill or the others made the choice to mime.. so either the producers or management.
Jesus, what next, all four of them doing a Britney and shaving their heads?! >.< Actually I wouldn't put it past them xD

Hey, America don't deserve to hear them play live. ;D
I kid. Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed now after hearing they mimed. I knew they did it for HUGE performances -- like ones that'd be on TV and such. Sometimes it's best to mime, and we know that they don't always do. Remember the video's of Bill before surgery? The ones where he could barely sing In Die Nacht?
Maybe, it's to prevent that from happening? Every once and a while have a mimed show for a few nights. Most people mime now, and sometimes their voices are not up to scratch -- anyone remember how Bill said he wants his voic perfect for a performance. (Or something like that.)
Sometimes it's not even their choice whether they do live, or mime. It's the manager and the producers descision. (Anyone remember the Ashlee Simpson thing? Her dad (her manager, I believe) made her mime because her voice was really bad down to larygitis or something.)
And I've never heard the band say they've never mimed, so they're not really lying to us. Just decieving us slightly. You know how it goes, play a few shows live then mime the rest. It happens. And as much as I don't like it when bands you've paid to see mime, at least you get to see them IRL, rather than on tv. You could at least appreiciate the fact that they are in front of your very eyes, in the flesh, where some fans never get to see them, and won't do for a very long time on stage. (i.e -- UK fans.)
That's my opinion anyway.

I half agree with what Becki said, even about the Ashlee Simpson.
As bad as this is, its not as bad as it could be, At least the tape didnt stop, like it did for Ashlee. Am I wrong? xx

Becki you have a really good point there. Maybe they were made to mime so that Bill doesn't wear his voice out whilst they're set for recording the new album and all.. A few artists have done that in the past, not that I've cared about any other artist lol.
I dunno.... all I can say is I think there is a reason behind it..

Wwelll... If you're a good musician, you ARE a great musician. you DO NOT mime.
if your voice isn't good enough. Don't perform.
And sorry if this seems harsh, but when Bill got sick with laryngitis, they cancelled the EU tour, because he couldn't sing. why didn't he mime then? Yet when his voice isnt "up to scratch" now, no way will they cancel it, Its the US right? Its like, "lets go on stage no matter what, US Fans."
Im not sure if im making sense, us Polish not always do.

Album songs are always made over anyway. Edited and all that shizzle.
The fact is, they're probably worn out. Run down, you know? They've been doing so many shows in such a short amount of time to break the USA as quick as possible and the voice wears thin. After a while of over use it'll become croaky and no doubt they're miming to prevent another dilemma with Bill losing his voice.
In the end, the band don't make descisions about whether they sing live or mime. That's totally, and utterly, up to the managers/producers no matter how much the band might revolt. It's how it works, at least they don't mime all the time like some bands. So, yeah.
And exactly, Peyton - it could've been far worse. (Actually, I think they replayed the same song and Ashlee was like "huh, what?" over her recorded singing. I think?)

Yeah!! Haha she looked so shocked!
I know its likely to be the manager's fault. but i just cant help being soooo disappointed in them.

Let's just put it this way... AT LEAST THEY CAN SING LIVE UNLIKE KATY PERRY!
And at least they actually DO sing live most of the time unlike Britney Spears ;D
There we have it, it's not a massive deal.. they've done it before and I sat there watching the show like >.< But we don't have a say in it... yeah it's shit, but like Becki said, the managment and prodoucers MAKE the decision and there isn't a bubble we can or the band can do about it.
