A K-Pop Rant: PLEASE SING LIVE! Mar 17, 2023

In this episode, hosts Chris and Chantel Nicole share their thoughts on the trend of K-Pop artists lip-syncing during performances. They start by discussing their own experiences as 2nd gen K-Pop fans and the history of lip-syncing in the industry. From there, they explore why lip-syncing has become so common in K-Pop and whether singing ability is less important now.

Throughout the episode, they share insights and opinions from K-Pop fans and experts (Ask Me About Kpop, MIA2K - A KPop Podcast, NYC Kpop Queens), and break down terms like MR, AR, and Live AR. They also discuss the use of autotune and vocal processing in pursuit of perfection, and the role of backing tracks and live autotune in performances.

The hosts also share their thoughts on the importance of singing live on music shows and televised performances, as well as in headlining concerts. They highlight K-Pop groups that often sing live, and discuss the need for live bands, music directors and better setlists in K-Pop concerts.

Whether you're a long-time K-Pop fan or just getting into the genre, this episode is sure to spark some interesting conversations.
