Even if they suck, it would still be better. I hate lip syncing. Especially when they can't sync their lips! I think they should just sing the group song live.

Lip syncing is an important part/unfortunate reality of being a pop star. Maybe they should have a whole episode where everyone lip syncs their solo performances.

To speak more to the point, asking the contestants to lip sync suggests they have no confidence in them as performers. They're putting the show before the reason the show exists, the contestants.. and failing. :) Thanks, it was too good to pass up.

But then I didn't have the time to put it together. Well done Chris. Well done.

The lip syncing, and even the group performances altogether, are just incredibly lame. They really, really need to consider ditching them next year. I knew Eliza and I were not alone.

Obviously they don't think that the contestants can all keep it together enough to perform flawlessly as a group, so they do the lip syncing to make sure the performance goes as planned...which is fine and good when it's not a freaking SINGING COMPETITION.
