View Full Version : Does Alizée lip-sync?

17th June 2004, 06:30
Being new to this forum, I don't know if this has been brought up many times before but...
From watching some of the videos of Alizee's performances, be it on TV or in concert, I noticed that I'm not actually hearing her live voice when she sings. Rather, they sound just like the studio versions. Is this the doing of the authors of the videos or something different?
Of course I've also seen the ones where she does sing live, ie Moi Lolita at Eurobest, La Isla Bonita, L'important C'est D'aimer.
It really makes no difference if this is true or not. I'm just curious and wanting my suspicion to be reaffirmed or disproved. That's all.
Thanks a million.

99% of the performances in the French TV shows are lipsynched. Its almost like a tradition, so cant blame anyone here.

it can be hard to get live acoustics right so that it will sound good for the studio audience as well as the TV audience. So it's usually lip-synced..

Yeah, unfortunately thats just the way it is over there. But she DOES perform 100% live on her tour.
I had started a similar thread here:

What monkeygod says is true. She simply will not do a concert lip-syncing. Even if it's at the expense of doing less dancing, she'll sing every single song live.
But I don't buy the reasoning with lip-syncing on TV shows. I know it's not Alizée's decision, it's just what the TV shows do. But as far as all the technical stuff with acoustics and such, I don't think there's any real problem. Just watch any musical performance here in the US. The majority of the time, you'll see singers singing live. Lip-syncing isn't really accepted over here. But in France it's different. I guess people just don't care if they're really hearing something in playback.

yeah, seriously
when i first heard of it (Well, first i got really curious as to why the quality was soo good) and then got it confirmed, i was pretty disappointed/shocked
I was like, wtf?
but i guess that's just how it is...
and wasn't La Isla Bonita synched too?
btw, just a question, but during her earlier TV performances, did she tend to get a little... out of synch? I just watched one of her early L'Alizé vids and she's a bit off a lot of the time
Moco
18th June 2004, 03:27
That's probably just the video. The encoder probably didn't do a good job of syncing up the audio and video. I'm sure if you saw the show broadcast on TV, it would've looked fine.
Out of curiosity, which video is it?
squeaky ladida
18th June 2004, 03:54
Alizée - 2000-09-12 - Performance - L'Alizé - Téléthon - FR2
maybe it's just that is looks like sometimes she's overexagerating her lips or something since she isn't really singing... i dunno
and there's one performance of moi...lolita where her sync is a bit off
don't feel like finding it now.. .maybe later

Naysayers only need to go look at Moi Lolita @ TOTP Italy to see that Alizee can really sing live. You can audibly hear it as she claps her hand against the mic.
It's perhaps the ONLY real LIVE televised SOLO performance of Alizee available other than the crappy quality Korean one.

Yeah, I remember a video that was mislabled as TOTP England when it was really from either the Netherlands or Germany. I don't think the actual TOTP England performance is available on the net.
Squeaky, is there a logo in the corner of the screen on that vid? If so, what does it say?

I saw the following in forum
"It looks like she’s lip-syncing in every video I’ve seen. Doesn’t she ever sing live?
That’s just the way the majority of all televised musical performances in France (and most of Europe too) are done. All singers do this, not just Alizée, but there are a handful of TV performances where she sings live:
Moi… Lolita @ Top of the Pops Italy, Eurobest, Star Academy & a performance in Korea.
In addition, she sang 100% live for her 2003 concert tour as well as the Les Enfoirés concerts."
I wonder how did the writer know those? And if its true,why? I think her live performances were great(for example the concert), the way she carried herself is so refined and elegant,with her beautiful voice,its perfect.so why shes lip-syncing in so many performances,thats in her request or the organizer or sponsor?

Yes, they are true. 99,9% of her promotional performances are lipsynced. It's common way to do it in Europe (especially in France). The list you quoted has most of the not-lipsynced performances (some other small bits exists).
It's not likely to be her choice if she needs to lipsync or not. It's simply the TV channel's (and/or record company's) guide lines.
She is excellent singer when given chance, tho. Great example is her concert and those few non-lipsynced videos. She could easily sing live if given chance for it.
But if she would sing live in all her performances, there most likely wouldn't be performacnes like JPVA and JEAM. The dances included in them would be hard to do with keeping decent voice through out the song. Notice in TOTP Italy for example, where she sings Moi...Lolita live (and ML isn't even the hardest performances physically) she moves a lot less than normally when she sings in promo performances. That's because she needs to concentrate on her voice more than usual.
In Concert, that effect is clearly visible. The songs where she moves less, the singing is perfect, but in songs where she moves a lot and gets excited (ML, JPVA, JEAM, ACC for example) her singing changes because it's hard to dance/run and sing at the same time. In JEAM she doesn't do the whole JEAM dance, just the easiest parts of it. In JPVA, she does most of the moves of that dance, and it's clearly visible in her voice. During ACC she keeps running back and forth touching people's hands and again her singing isn't perfect. It's physically very hard. She has perfect live voice but it's just physically impossible to sing perfectly when running all around. It's compromise that has to be dealt.
Of course she could have done PTB live easily, but most likely she wasn't allowed. It's just how things works in Europe.

nooooooooo

Singing live isn't always good to do. I have some bootlegs of her concerts and its very off and on. Sometimes its great, sometimes its not.
Also for the release of the DVD don't they "clean up" to make it sound better? Not sure what the exact term is.

Nope I dont think so. I if its a live performance then its live. Only the best musicans, who sing good can release a concert album. But in studio, when they are recording sonds, there they clean or cut the bad parts and re-record them.
HumbleHero
3rd May 2006, 18:23
En Concert DVD she is Live and I doubt they "clean up" anything because they already had the sound configured, Their is an extra in the DVD that shows them rehearsing Youpidou and the sound guy is making sound the best.

Of course it's cleaned afterwards, too. It's also cut and edited with tapes from the different concerts.
But it isn't heavily edited like her studio albums. En Concert still has the live touch on it.

3rd May 2006, 19:49
I think he means, 1.) that they later cleaned up the sound ("her voice"), that it will be more correct, or 2.)that they just got all the recordings from the camera edited and put together.
IF (he meant == 1)
I seriously doubt it, because Alizee is a very good singer, so she dont need to fix her voice by a computer.
IF (he meant ==2)
That is of course true. They need to put it togetter with a computer.
:roll:
Both are done.
None of those audiotracks are clean enough fod POP DVD. Not even the one carrying her voice.
on her videos i like the dancing more than the singing, because i hear the music all the time, i like seeing her 2nd talent :P

What`s wrong with she's lip-syncing
Probably nothing, but remember that, in some countries people might find it to be strange thing to do on a stage.
Like in the US; lip-syncing is heavily frowned upon here. Jokes about Britney Spears and her lip-syncing is a common occurrence on late night talk shows.
As for the "why" it's done, in addition to the dancing explanation RMJ gave, it also saves the singer's voice for real concerts. With the heavy promotional schedule some of these singers do, if they sang live on every TV show they appeared on, they'd lose their voice quickly and sound even worse in concert.
There's also a lot more setup and rehearsal time for live performances. Since music shows are so common in France, it's just a lot easier to have singers lip-sync (and musicians pretend to play their instruments) to save time setting up microphones, sound levels, etc... Maybe it is lazy of the TV channels to do this, but they churn out these performances as if they were factories mass producing something. Cheap and efficient.
Lip syncing is looked down on (at least where Im from) because it shows no talent and its sort of disrespectful to the people who came just to see the singer perform. But then again, different countries, different standards so I don't know if its really that big of a deal or not where she is.

i agree with you,but i prefer listening her sang live not lipsynced,even if her voice sounded not perfect. ofc,this is my personal opinion, :D

Her voice is always perfect... :oops:
It's the singing that might not be perfect if too much physical activity going on. :)
Of course, I prefer real live singing, too. But I also understand that there is reasons that might not always allow her to sing live. We just gotta live with it. It doesn't make her any less talented, we know she has wonderful voice and can sing better than anyone else...

I am still not totally convinced that the TOTP Italy was without any sort of aid.Comparing other ML live performances that are a certainty, the totp Italy seems just too perfect . . . . too much discrepancy when compared to her other live performances.

Bleh... Forgot to answer to this due to all the ass kicking...
But well, it's definately is live one. :)
Is there a tape on back, or is it echo, is it soundtrack artifact or what is it that you might hear on background I don't know... But the main voice that you hear comes from her beautiful little mouth, live. Everything matches between audio and video. 101% match. Even her hand's clapping against the mic is hearable.
And not to mention that this is one of the very few performances where she uses the more subtle ML coreography. Conincident ? After all the other details... I don't think so... Also notable that she also uses the more subtle coreography in other live ML performances (and couple other performances but usually with good reason, like in PopWorld she plays with the camera... ).
yeah, you can hear her hands clap but that is because she was singing but they might have had a CD playing in the background just to give her voice teh album sound (or closer to it) SOmetomes artists have their single playing in the background and their mic volume is made higher than the CD. It's all Lili's voice, and it's all beautiful, but I am not convinced that it was purely live. In time I willl be one way or the other.

Listen to her En COncert DVD performance of ML and compare the pitch of her voice etc . . . dancing or no dancing, it's just too different even when compared with other live performances.
EDIT::::::::::::
I just listened to TOTP ITALY and I must agree now that it is live . . . did I get mixed up with Pistoia concert . . . anyway I just did a comparison with the others and it IS her voice there.

Now I want to figure out which one I was really thinking of :shock: haha, I was probably arguing with myself this whole time *moron overload* wa it probablty another totps? :?

If it comforts you even little bit, I knew all along that you must be mixing it with some other performance. :) Because if you knew and remember this performance, you'd know that it differs from others. It's clearly different. It's different because it's live. :)

Well doing so is not an uncommon thing to do when an artist is in a TV studio and with tight scheduleing.
However there have been times when she has sung live in addition to her "en concert". Most recently though she has sung live for the French TV show Acoustic. Here she sung several songs live. The link to that show is [TV] Acoustic - TV5 Monde (2008-05-31) (http://www.alizee-forum.com/showthread.php?t=22362)
She also sang live at the 3 Les Enfoirés concerts she appeared in and there has been several other appearances where she sang live, such as Moi Lolita on the Top of the Pops in Italy.

Yes, but not all the time. The whole lip synching thing was really getting me bummed out BIG TIME! It was all put to rest with the *Acoustic* TV5Monde Performance. Completely restored my faith. You should watch the whole performance in the Higher quality video and put it through some good headphones/speakers. ITS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

Fans know she has an angelic voice, and just want to be able to be entertained by her . . . we may get annoyed when we KNOW she can do this without any lip-syncing. I understand they all do it, and so it's really about not having to do it . . .
For TV, and if you are a pop star, most of the time they are forced to lip-sync. As far as "Acoustic" is concerned, I have deep questions as to whether some of those performances might have been borderline lip-sync (already explained why, in Acousitc thread pg 13).
Guess it's been discussed to death, but we have to accept it, knowing that she atleast does sing live also. Remember that with pop stars, it is all about image and sound being as close to the album as possible: most pop stars are entrapped in their music because they engineer songs too heavily . . . but I know that they ALL can do without it anyway due to the great voice they have. ie, Christina Auguilera . . .she is amazing live . . . her voice is simply magnificent.
Not caring for who has the better voice, I think that Lili, no matter how much engineering is put into her songs, she can perform all of them just nicely without the need for lip-syncing . . . < this is the essence of the matter in this discussion.

Fans know she has an angelic voice, and just want to be able to be entertained by her . . . we may get annoyed when we KNOW she can do this without any lip-syncing. I understand they all do it, and so it's really about not having to do it . . .

Yeah, I agree. It's a shame, but we just have to accept it.
She's a good performer and she enjoys to be on the stage. She has this amazing energy although they use lip-sync. And lip-sync really doesn't bother me that much anymore.
