Regarding the matter of lip-synching, in fact, there has always been a debate in the entertainment industry. The so-called lip-synching, in simple terms, is the use of lip-synching to complete the performance in a live stage performance.

The point of agreeing with lip-synching is mainly a comprehensive consideration of a performance. A perfect stage is not only a part of singing, but also the stage background, lighting effects, audio equipment, dance echoes, costume design and other aspects. In addition to these objective auxiliary factors, a singer standing on the stage, singing and music, singing and dancing, It is also an integral part of a perfect performance, and can also be presented in a full range of CDs, such as visual, tactile, and auditory sensations. Therefore, "singing" is only a part of the whole performance. In addition, the physical factors caused by age and the control factors caused by the body are all part of force majeure.

Back then, when Michael Jackson performed his worldwide sensational "Historical Journey" concert, after a four-hour concert, at least one-third, as many as more than half were lip-synched, mainly because Michael - Jackson's body can't handle that long performance, not to mention the physically demanding world tour. But Michael Jackson's stage can still be said to be a visual feast. His dance, costumes, and live performance are still a major attraction. So, no one would say "History Tour" was a failed tour, on the contrary, it was the most successful tour in history that no one has ever surpassed.

The point of view against lip-synching is very clear. The real sound effect that is different from live performances and CD recordings is actually the singing effect that changes along with the live performances. In a performance, all the auxiliary factors are actually the singers who serve as foils for singing. The real task of the singer is to sing. As for the acting, dancing, and emotion contained in the performance, it is the part that adds luster to the singing. If under objective conditions, other factors Can not be satisfied, such as dancing can be abandoned, but singing can not be abandoned. The audience wasn't there to watch the singers pair on stage. If it is just dancing, it is the task of the backup dancer; if it is just clothing, it is the occasion of the fashion show; if it is only the lighting effect, it is better to go to see "Star Wars"; If so, what's the difference between that and CD? Audiences don't go to the scene with great energy to listen to the CD.

How many classics have been born from the live performances of countless singers, see Chester Bennington roaring on the scene, watch Mitch Jagger release it to the fullest, watch Jason-Mayez control the scene and watch Evan Bell. Heart touching at the scene... These live performances one after another have their own characteristics. Perhaps when I mentioned that performance, Chester-Bennington sang with a hoarse throat, even on the verge of breaking, but he managed to turn the tide and save it. Maybe I mentioned Evan Bell's live performance not long ago, and the ministers worshiped, and I was moved to tears: maybe the whole chorus joined the singer's performance, and the image that made people cry is deeply imprinted in my mind.

This is the charm of live singing. Abandonment, out of tune, falls, accidents... This is part of live performance, which also makes live performance different from CD and becomes a unique existence.

So, until today, the debate about lip-synching actually exists. Generally speaking, the live performances of the band are all real singing, while most dance singers and idol singers use lip-synching to make up for the lack of live skills.

On such a huge stage as the Super Bowl, singers also have their own choices. In order to create a more sensational and magnificent visual effect, there are indeed many singers who choose lip-synching. Since the accident of Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson in 2004, the TV station responsible for the live broadcast has become more cautious and strict in the choice of singers for the halftime performance, and in order to ensure the perfect stage, and to avoid the singers making surprising remarks, So it's not surprising that TV stations take the initiative to ask singers to lip-synch.

When Fox TV made this request to Evan Bell in September, it was actually a matter of time. They weren't worried about what happened to Evan Bell's scene. As we all know, Evan Bell's scene is his fans' forever favorite. But what if? There is no fear of 10,000 in anything, not to mention that this is the stage of the Super Bowl, so Fox TV has to be cautious.

In addition, Fox TV just had a bad time with Eleven Studios, and they were also worried that Evan Bell would speak amazingly during the live performance, so the requirements for lip-synching came naturally.

Evan Bell's blunt refusal can be said to surprise Fox, "This is the Super Bowl!" This reason alone is enough to shock people; but it can also be said to be expected, "After all, this is the Evan Bell" is enough of a reason.

There is no doubt that Evan Bell hates lip-synching. In his opinion, it is very simple. The scene is the scene, and it must be live singing. This is the charm of the live stage. If you are afraid of accidents, if you don't do it Get ready, then don't get on this stage, it's that simple.

The Super Bowl is indeed very attractive to Evan Bell. He has already challenged the world tour. If he can stand on the stage that is watched by more than 100 million viewers, this will undoubtedly be a new peak. He is full of infinite Passionately want to challenge this stage. But if it's lip-synching, it's okay not to sing. A simple conclusion.

Evan Bell's refusal surprised Fox, but Fox was not worried, because the Super Bowl stage will never lack singers who want to take the stage. Without Evan Bell, there are countless singers. But this year's situation does not allow Fox TV to have more options.

The poor sales of the new album in 2007 did not give Fox a lot of choices. Linkin Park, Jay-z, Justin Timberlake, Mary Blige, U2, Amy Nam and others can be regarded as Alternate, but more or less deficient. The most important thing is that Fox TV also has its own position. It exists as a company, and the gesture of inviting singers must not be so objective. For example, it is impossible to invite singers under Universal Music. Stages like the Super Bowl involve more. It's a relationship of interest.

In addition, this year, Billboard also conformed to the characteristics of the Internet age, and opened online voting for the first time, allowing the audience to choose the singer they want to see at the Super Bowl. This data is not an official vote and cannot be done accurately, but it can be used as a reference data.

The result is really a bit dumbfounding. Among the more than 600,000 votes, Evan Bell leads with an overwhelming 53% approval rate, and Jay-z, who ranks second, has only a support rate of 53%. A poor seven percent. This gap even makes people wonder if Evan Bell's fans have swiped their votes.

But then there were random interviews on the streets of TV stations, hoping that Evan Bell's support rate on the Super Bowl stage would be as high as 80%, which also made everyone realize that Evan Bell's current appeal is really good. how powerful. Everyone said that in recent years, there have been more and more rumors about Evan Bell's excellent live performances, and Evan Bell's stage performances rarely use dancing and lighting. This kind of gorgeous formation wins, more rely on stage control Force maximizes the tension of the performance, which is a brand new attempt for the Super Bowl performance stage. On the other hand, last year Evan Bell had the hope of appearing on the Super Bowl stage, but unfortunately missed it in the end, which also makes people have more expectations for this year's stage.

In this situation, if Evan Bell does not attend the Super Bowl performance, even if Evan Bell himself refuses, it will undoubtedly be a lot of pressure for other singers, even like the Rolling Stones, Linkin Park, Madonna, U2, etc. The super big name of the company is also bound to have pressure, which is unavoidable.

Originally, Fox TV had finalized Tom Petty as the halftime guest performer of the Super Bowl. This master singer, who is comparable to Bob Dylan and the Beatles in the American rock music industry, brought his band Heartbroken into the show. Listed on Fox TV. But Tommy Petty actually rejected the invitation at the last moment, and the reason given was "I think Evan is more suitable", which made Fox TV completely dumbfounded.

Fox TV held a meeting from September to October and then all the way to November, when the screenwriter broke out, which made Fox TV completely overwhelmed, especially the fiasco of "Prison Break", the TV station The sway of the TV station, the covetousness of the TV station, and the vacillation of the TV station have made Fox TV station more and more vigilant. Coupled with a lot of thrust on the side, as the deadline for the Super Bowl performance guest candidates is getting closer, Fox TV had to put Evan Bell on the waiting list again.

According to the practice of previous years, the list of performers is announced sooner or later. It can be finalized as early as the end of September, and the candidates will be announced at the beginning of December at the latest. After all, the Super Bowl will be held at the end of January and the beginning of February. very important. But this year, Christmas is coming, and Fox TV's performers are still in difficult labor.

In this situation, Fox TV had to bow its head high and find Studio Eleven again, which is Sean Mayer - compared to the Bell Brothers and Eden Hudson, Shang En-Mayer is undoubtedly a good talker. Fox TV does not hope that Sean Mayer can make a decision. They just hope that Sean Mayer can convey his goodwill, at least in a relatively peaceful environment. Negotiate with Evan Bell again.

Therefore, Shawn Mayer will again mention the invitation to the Super Bowl to Evan Bell today.
