Lorelei Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Some of yall are simply talking out of your asses and it's showing brightly in here, Godness Gracious. Shakira is a singer songwriter who has been awarded with a Grammy for her acclaimed live album back in 2000. She mostly sings live in her tours and her post 90s performances, you may find an array of her live performances on Youtube. The only two times she relied on prerecorded vocals to such an extent was for her HTS performance and her Vanguard medley because they were both fast paced, heavily choreographed performances with lots of movement and changes. Mind you, most of the performers last night didn't sing live. She was nervous and she probably didn't want to sound out of breath; trust, she can definitely hold a note. You are only bothered by this because the lipsyncing was so obvious and blatant so enough with the faux outrage and dumb comparisons to people whose vocals are barely audible by background singers on their own albums. She's globally beloved for her charisma and ability to set the stage on fire just by herself. The performance was brilliant and could have been spectacular had it not been for the inadequate camera work. Edited September 13, 2023 by Lorelei 3 5 1

Chemist Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Shakira has NOTHING to prove to ATRL homosexuals bffr the media and the GP are praising the performance which is the only thing that matters 9
magazine Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Great show The pre-recorded vocals are triggering me tho
Terylee Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Amazing performance! Is ATRL really hating on this? 2
flashfox Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 She is so incredible. A true definition of a superstar 1
Breakthru Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 The only top-tier pop performer who could pull a dance-heavy performance like this with minimal (but no zero, because let’s be realistic) lip-syncing to a prerecorded track would be Beyoncé. I’ll take the spectacle and the quality of Shakira’s dancing and performance skills, and her miming to her own voice, when she’s delivering talent and three-decades worth of self-written and self-composed classics. Everyone is praising her, I’m so happy to see her driven and working her butt off again. 3

It's way harder for her to keep up the vocals when her diaphragm it's been used like a rubber lol 3
Abracadabra Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Loved the performance, she's such an icon Also screamed when Wyclef said that she is the best selling artist of all time I know he meant latin artist, but it was funny 2

Some parts we’ve seen before on tours and obviously Super Bowl, but I’m just so happy it was just her on stage 10+ mins GP and media are loving this though which is all that matters. this is shaping up to be a nostalgia tour full of hits and I think the GP will be here for it.

And Beyoncé's choreos are designed to not warm that much her capacity to sing. Not trying to bash her in any means you need to be a god tier performer to pull out what she does but the belly dance sequences just don't match with stable live vocals Shakira can manage this on her tours but with Very specific build ups, definitely not on a fast pacing 10 minute medley 1
kandicha Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 The lip syncing especially during the crowd surfing took me out lol But she did great! This made me so hyped for a potential tour give it to us now madre

Beyonce im im not wrong has problems with her knee-an injury and she cant dance like this anymore Real sad cause she's a really powerful performer too and dancing is such an important thing for her persona. Shakira with her hyper-flexible body and confidence Beyonce with her vocals and dancing and high energetic choreo Lady Gaga with her amazing vocals and crazy theathrics Pink with her circus skills All of them are in the top tier of performers in the pop world right now no one comes close Edited September 13, 2023 by AvadaKedavra

Not everybody has that. not yall defending the constant miming yet i haven't questioned her artistry or her Grammy from 25 years ago but go awf sis. i'm only questioning the lack of live vocals and why she's blatantly lipsyncing and not really succeeding at hiding it yall could have said shes not a vocalist, shes an entertainer and leave it at that.
Julia Fox Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Shakira has made lipsync since the early days of her career when she was a nobody outside LatAm. She did it on Super Bowl, on the first Empire performances, on her La Tortura live performance on the VMA's and even at some songs on her acclaimed shows on tour. Accusing her of do that it’s just no news but also when she sings, she does it so we all know she can do it effortlessly while dancing. On the other hand I have seen a lot of accusations of her doing a satanic ritual which is fun to me. Love her so much 1 1
reymiu Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 I'm disappointed she didn't perform La Tortura. Other than that, love this performance
ForgottenSoul Posted September 14, 2023 Posted September 14, 2023 Was a decent performance but was everyone apart from Oliva just lip syncing?

You asked how people know whether Shakira can sing and I demonstrated that she is critically acclaimed for her singing and has won a Grammy specifically for it. I’m not sure why this Nicole Scherzinger fan is trying it with that “entertainer” comment. Your fave has 0 Grammys compared to Shakira’s 3 Grammys and 12 Latin Grammys. Her highest album score on AllMusic is 2.5 stars out of 5 (Killer Love), compared to Shakira’s perfect 5 stars out of 5 (Sale El Sol) and three other Shakira albums that have 4.5 stars out of 5 — and these are all albums that Shakira wrote (music and lyrics) in multiple languages and co-produced. There’s no doubt that Shakira can sing. She has many talents. She prioritized dancing for this performance recognizing her incredible music career. 3 2 1
