I don't think anyone's as annoying as that Davie504 guy.
He was in a band called Rapeman and was altogether far too enthusiastic about images of child sexual abuse. If I was feeling generous i would say he was clearly a bit neurodivergent and trying far too hard to mine new depths of shock value. But I'm not feeling generous; he was a chronically overrated hipster and his music sounded terrible. Like being locked in a filing cabinet full of loose cutlery and being kicked down a metal fire escape.
Wait until they go in the pool.
Maybe it's an arbitrary distinction, but somehow having the lead vocalist lip syncing feels like crossing a line - but to me it depends on who they are and how the represent themselves to the public. I'm not surprised and don't care if an "entertainer" is dancing with pyrotechnics and needs some help from autotune or tracks because they're too busy with choreography. If I went to a show like that I'd be expecting a visual spectacle.
But if I'm shelling out the big bucks to see an aging rocker who recorded "classic" tracks, I'd rather hear them struggle to hit the notes and hear what they sound like today, even if their voice is shot, and if they can't be bothered to expose that, then I'd rather they and me both stay home.
But that's just me. If other folks want to watch Don Henley or Billy Gibbons or whoever stand at a microphone and do nothing, that's fine. I'd rather it not be a secret though. I don't want to show up expecting one thing and get the other.
