Go ahead and dig up old news reports and that nonsense, anyone knows that vigorous dancing and singing is hard to do both at once with any quality. Many of BoA's fans requested that she simply dance during live performances and settle for lip-synching since the dancing is what they came to see. They already know that she can sing and didn't want to see both aspects of the performances compromised.
nmskalmn: Old hard drive with my big collection of out of comission so I can't think of any other particular performances other than A Museum in its entirety. On several of her old songs performed at A Museum where she uses a headset instead of a mic always seems suspicious (Notice Britney Spears rarely sings with a hand mic and seems to favor a headset?). She seemed to sing her older more high-pitched songs flawlessly when she seemed to miss a few notes aside from some off-key warbles performing with a mic on her current songs better attuned to her slightly deeper voice. Things like that generally I have suspicions of.
Marsx96:
Everyone else can defend themselves for the most part but I'd assume they meant a few performances, not every single occassion where she's performed live. Also her voice is not perfect, she has her own natural flaws to her voice which endear her to many of her fans, some of the off-key parts are very much so intentional I would assume (Ever heard of people praising her flatter than a board "lalalas" in several of her songs? It's a flavor they enjoy). Her voice is by no means terrible, she simply doesn't sing like a bell, her voice is not perfect.
Also she was previously an actress, take that as you will but I don't honestly believe that someone can begin crying at the same point in a song every time they sing it, every time they perform it which is very often. Also, one's vocal cords tighten as anyone who's every cried knows and yet she seems to be able to continue singing in the same manner she usually does after a few lines of flat notes, I doubt any vocal performer is trained well enough to defy biological conventions within a matter of a few seconds. Not saying her tears are always fake, simply saying they are not always real.
Wrapping up, just because the mic is on doesn't mean someone has to make noise. Play music in the background, move your lips to to the lyrics but make no noise. During an instrumental solo say anything that comes to mind out loud. Now, picture that you were a pop tart on stage performing with a microphone doing the same process mentioned earlier only you have a stadium sound system meant to amplify whatever is played through it, by no means anyone in the audience can honestly hear just 'you'. I hope that makes it clearer.
