Has this discussion about groups who are singing live VS not singing live at SBS Gayo Daejeon been posted here?

It's official information from the SBS sheet, not speculation.

Quote:

"As some of you may have already seen, the cue sheet for SBS Gayo Daejeon was leaked. It outlines the full timeline of the event from start to finish, including detailed notes on how each performance was carried out. For those unfamiliar, these cue sheets have leaked sporadically in the past, and they're always interesting to examine from a performance analysis standpoint.

I'll briefly explain the terminology used so everyone is on the same page:

MR
This refers to the instrumental track without recorded vocals. In other words, the artists are fully singing live.

Live MR
A mix of live singing and backing vocals. This is what most groups rely on nowadays. At times you can clearly hear the artists' live voices over the backtrack, while at other moments the vocals may drop out entirely, resulting in lipsyncing. Some prerecorded vocals can also be included in Live MR. A good example is MEOVV's performance: their intro with Toxic was sung live, but Burning Up switched to Live AR, or lipsyncing.

AR
This is a fully recorded vocal track layered over the instrumental, essentially what you would hear in a studio version of a song. Artists rarely perform with pure AR anymore.

Live AR
Pre-recorded vocals specifically prepared for live stages. The vocals are mixed to sound more raw and performance-like, often including breathing and slight imperfections. While it creates the illusion of live singing, the performance itself is mostly or fully lipsynced.

Here's the list below:

• Yeonjun – Let Me Tell You + Talk to You: Live MR

• IDID – INTRO + PUSH BACK (Ice Breaking Ver.): MR

• AxMxP – I Did It (Gayo Daejeon Ver.): MR

The way I understand it, IF Danielle wins her lawsuit, and IF Newjeans4 then files another lawsuit using Danielle's unjust termination and wins that too, then they would be free.

That's a lot of IF. And lawsuits take time, and the judges have ruled against NJ so far... I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Yeah and there wont be any new music if this keeps going... maybe when things are finally done it is also close to 2029

All I hope is that one day they can reunite and form and redebut as a new group in 2029.

Of course NMIXX sung live

She's a capable performer, but let's keep it real her vocal track was quite bad

Between YG who wants to clone Jennie, SM who wants to clone Karina, and Hybe who wants to clone all of NJ and some more, Kpop has a serious lack of imagination...

H2H have sounded good in the past but today they all sounded so high pitched and off.

Gonna let them slide on this one but they better bring it in the future.

It was kinda game over for me when she skipped the rising "yeah-yeah-yeah" ad-lib just before the last chorus. It's not even that challenging.

Aside from The Chase, I've not been impressed by them vocally so far unfortunately. CARMEN also sounded bad covering Wendy in Red Flavor.

Paywalled tarot prediction about Newjeans... We down bad.

SM reinventing themselves and debuting their first studio focused vocal group.

Oh ENGOD

Congrats to the boygroups that made the list! Soooooo sorry to those that couldn't make it despite heavy international push & payola and were outstreamed by Treasure and BOYNEXTDOOR.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!

This is what happens when you make an industry that's openly hostile to artists and creatives....
