What is considered a live performance? (1 Viewer)

[Administrator2]

In your opinion, when a certain singer is having a live performance, does it mean that they appeared there live or that they are not lip-syncing?

Would you justify a live performance with lip-syncing?

Personally, I do not credit lip-synced performances (or heavy MR performances) as live. That's just performance.

I really don't care if a performance is lip-synced since most of the time there are reasons why they do that. To me any performance is a performance

For me live means not lip syncing, where the idols really song in that moment and it's not a pre-registered performance...

Exactly, that's why I'm saying there is a difference between performance and a live performance.

I agree.

When the voice is louder than the backtrack

A live performance we should appreciate

If they are there live I think it's live performance even if lipsynched. Just like this is live performance even if artist is not alive xd

Though I think lipsynched performances suck and aren't worth watching so although I think it's live performance its bad and fake. Miku gets pass though for lipsynching.

I divide performance into categories a bit differently. On the one hand, there's what I would call 'real' performance, where you get more than you would from listening to a studio track. IMO that's pretty rare in the kpop world, at least among girl groups, and it's usually the forte of stronger and more experienced talents, but it doesn't have to be. Loona, a group that's technically just three months old, spent the past weekend delivering really refreshing performances mostly without vocal backing tracks, accompanying themselves on instruments, and covering a wide range of artists as well as their own songs. Sure, some of their performances stood out much more than others, and they made a small number of mistakes too, but overall it was such a completely different and far more engaging experience than their eight weeks of literally the exact same stage during Hi High promotions.

Which brings me to the other kind of performance, one in which you could get the exact same thing or better by listening to the studio recording or watching the MV. This includes nearly all music show appearances, whether or not you can hear the vocals and regardless of whether those vocals are any good. I don't even watch Mamamoo comeback stages on shows like Music Bank or Inkigayo because of how little room they have to really show what they can do. And it's not a knock against groups that don't do much more than this, as it comes down to the fact that companies are generally unwilling to expose their groups to the kind of risk that going off-script in any way poses, especially given the nature of fandoms, antis, and social media in general. I'm sure you can imagine what kind of shitstorm would have been created if it was a more high profile group like Twice or Blackpink making a couple of innocent mistakes in their shows instead of Loona.

I consider in idols case, since the dance is an important part of it and the prettiness of the girlies.

Seeing the real deal is always something else.

I don’t really mind, makes no difference to me since I’m not in the audience

I think live presence counts as live performance

However no backtrack is a bonus

Here's some amazing purely live performances from my UBs

In this case, what is the difference between performance and live performance?

Performance can be on screen in front of a camera crew.
Live performance is anything in front of general public.

When I hear live performance I always assumed it meant they were singing live as well but I guess I can see the other side also.
