ASIA TOUR 2008 ~10th Anniversary~ setlists and pictures [V]

[Coelacanth]

maybe her decision to lipsynch theme of a-nation '03 had something to do with the song just being really obscure. maybe she knew that the possibility of her forgetting the lyrics for that song was really high so it would be safer to just use a pre-recorded track. I mean really.. she can barely remember the lyrics to Trauma, a song she sings like, every single year. After all, she did mess up the mouthing the lyrics, so maybe it saved her some embarrassment haha. Forgetting the words to a slower song like that is a lot more awkward than an upbeat one like Trauma or independent.

But meh.. I expect that the more and more theatrical her tours get, the more lip-synching we're going to see.

I would think getting caught lip synching is more embarrassing than messing up the lyrics live. Whenever she has lyric messups in Trauma and what not, it is very endearing to me.

Not really when it's going on for the whole concert. I don't know if you noticed, but she messed up a lot of the words in CDL 05-06. She didn't completely pause or go blank, but I remember a few songs where she mixed up the verses and choruses and some lines (I think BoY and Endless sorrow in particular) and the end of winding road, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but she sung like a COMPLETELY different line. I remember her mumbling some words in Startin' too. I remember that concert as her being really out of it.. Forgetting the lyrics to your own songs isn't much better than lip-synching, imo.

in winding road when she was introducing the dancers she messed up with the names, so she improvised the lyrics in the end by saying like "i made a lot of mistakes today...." so it was intentional

If i remember well she sang the same chorus 2x in ENDLESS SORROW in CDL 05-06. And replaced a couple of lines.

Well, that was a year after her first really great tour + promotion of new album and single, so that's way she had no time to prepare well

Haha true. ^^

Oh, and regarding decision. I'm not going to say if she lip synched it or not as there isn't enough comparison material, but her vocals are AMAZING during decision imo. Like fifty times better than CDL07-08. Kind of suspicious, but I'll wait for more comparison stuff. XD Was she that good when you saw her with the song, too? Like the "Nee eh"s are really good.

Well I can't remember that exactly of course. You'd have had to ask me the night of, but I do remember having the feeling that I thought it was way better than CDL 07-08 as well.
