Lady Gaga - WWE Entertainment


Is it me or does it take away from a performance when what is perceived as real/authentic turns out to be anything but?
As a kid deep down I knew professional wrestling was fake but when WWE owner Vince McMahon made that announcement wrestling was never the same to me. This leads to mega-star Lady GaGa, and if anyone is on the bubble on whether or not she lip syncs during live performances this video will certainly burst that bubble. "Highlights" include "c'mon" at 1 minute 27 seconds the squatting dance routine at 1 minute 48 seconds through the 2 minute mark (as well as any time she does the squatting dance routine), and the 2 minute 16 second mark where she clearly gives up her live charade. I'm sure her fans (the Little Monsters as she lovingly refers to them as) will defend her by saying due to all the dancing she has to lip sync. They will also most likely throw the likes of Madonna, Britney Spears etc under the bus. Having been to hundreds of shows I am quite aware that performers often get help from background musicians, but this is a bit much..In the day and age of pro-tools does she even give an authentic studio performance?
