Charlie where we bring things here.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
They didn't go on the radio.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
One thing that dead was lip syncing because Milli Vanilli
was the subject of our hip hop mystery, because they're
actually number two on the Shazam Chats, because they've got
a one of their songs is in a big documentary
at the moment, The Menendez Doctor horrib and so someone
actually said on the text, because you know they're famous,
(00:37):
Philip Sinking, have you ever lip synced?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Charlie.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
No, I'm telling you guys now, I've never done it.
I think I don't have anything against it. I know
a big artist that lip syncs, and I'm not I'm
not going to say.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Big New Zealand artist. This is like if it's Intonation.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
In America Hawaii, you know, and he's in the race,
SEMs quite big.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
They can he can that they can see the same thing.
Isn't there a gray line? Also, I've heard from the
internet that there are some artists that they're not necessary
lip syncing, but their backtrack.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Is so loud.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
That's it that you can't extually hear the.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Night like they record their their show, like let's say
the first night, Yeah, the first night, say that the
sound engineer guys recording the show. The first night, your
voice is you know, the best, so you're projected, you
know what I'm saying. And then obviously over the course
of the tour your voice starts, you start losing your voice.
(01:44):
So then what happens is they they go back to
the very first concert because it.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Sets the scene.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And then you're just like in certain songs, you're just
signaling through the to the guys, like just play the back.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I think we've all seen people and they're singing at
their concert and then you know, like maybe it's still
going on in the background, you know, while they're talking
to the audio.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah yeah, well well that's the thing is I have
always wondered where that audio comes from, because it does
sound like they've sung at once upon a time, especially
award shows and stuff. That's why I find it random
that I didn't realize that showy.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
But is it stand and practice in New Zealand to
lip sync?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I don't think so. It's not new because we have
the talent here and we can do it. I remember
they wanted us to do a show on TV and
got us to, you know, do the whole lip syncing thing,
and I'm like, bro, we didn't.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Really yeah because of a TV thing, because.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It was TV. But you know, I mean we we
rehearse live, so like I mean to to try and
I will sit didn't fly with us, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Your lip sync for music videos obviously.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. And even even doing that, you
feel it's weird.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So you have to sing along to get but I'm
still singing.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
You know, you can see the veins and it's the
feel is there when you're actually singing to your song. Yeah,
you're like a little robot.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I've never done it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
And for those reasons because I love to sing, I
love to entertain, so like, let's see you.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I feel you're just cheating, bro, But what But I.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Do kin't understand, Like imagine going on a world tour
like I think of much from six sixty for example,
like and pretty hard songs to sing, yeah, be raped,
yeah yeah yeah, like it can't be good. I can
in my mind. It actually makes sense for the audio
engineers to record that food show, but maybe not have
that backtrack so loud. They just sort of have it
(03:42):
as back up, because how can your voice really.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I want to say, it's a thing here, and but
you know there are bands that that will play their
backing track and then you know sometimes if they feel
they can't hit a certain note, they'll just let the
backing track go.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I've seen that.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Yeah, and I think, as well, it's not like you're
doing what Millie Vanilli did, which was have two completely
different guys darts around and pretend to sing and then
when they won the Grammy go hey, anyone could.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Do that, just like, yeah, do the bet you're doing anyone?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
But you guys that that is so outrageous.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
To dacious, But how can you how can.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
You literally get two people to sing your songs for you,
write your songs for you, and you perform them and
think you're going to get away with that.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Like you were always going to get caught out.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I think in the eighties, like eighties seventies, that that
was actual, that was a thing. There was something I
was striving to work one day and they had that
guy Otis, so he was he's an African American guy
back in the seventies reading, I think it was n't.
So he was doing a lot of writing, and he
was doing the shadow vocals, like shadow for Elvis. So
(04:50):
what happened was our Mimi him and you know what
I mean. And he only gave twenty five dollars advanced.
This is like back in the day, so twenty five
dollars would have been big. And you know the percentage
on the songs, he was only getting like five percent
and Elvis was getting like the whole ninety five. But
everybody thought Alvis was the singer and the writer of
all his music. But it was Otis Otis or I
(05:12):
don't know her surname. But he was on David leading
You're reading, and then they got him to, oh can
you sing this song? And when he's singing the song
that Elvis recorded and heard the original, I was like, Holy.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
She can't call it the original, can't you? Because he's
the one that wrote it and first would have sung.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
It, sang it for real, for real, for real.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
