Top 10 Worst Things Singers Do When They Perform Live

1. Lip-sync

   Some people say: "I would prefer a lip-sync concert more than a bad one," and my answer is heck no! Why would someone pay tons of cash to hear a lip-syncing concert when they can take the album of that singer and listen to it for free whenever they want? I've paid to watch you sing, and even if you sing badly, at least you do something, but lip-sync? Moving your lips and faking it? No thanks.

   If your excuse for lip-syncing is "the vocals are very layered and I want to replicate them live," just sing with a backing track.

   If your excuse for lip-syncing is "the vocals are heavily edited and I can't hit the notes," then you just exposed yourself.

2. Oversing

   Some people will justify this with: "But oversinging is just showing your talent more!" No, it really isn't. You can show your talent and sing the right notes. Oversinging is just annoying and painful to hear.

   Depends on the concert you go to. In rock concerts, oversinging or screaming is common. I can tolerate screaming as long as it doesn't sound, well, whiny.

   Looking at you, Demi Lovato.

3. Undersing

   If oversinging is annoying, undersinging is boring. The singer is not at his/her best at this concert, and it makes you sick.

4. Sing without emotion

   Good performance, good choreography, but something is not right. Without emotions, you feel like: "OK, the singer is here, but he is singing only for money, not to entertain us." Singing with emotion is way better. Without it, the performance is all programmed and kinda lifeless, with no feelings. And no, you can sing with emotion and technique at the same time.

5. Be more focused on dancing

   It's OK if you are showing your skills in something that is not singing, but when the whole performance is all about dancing and playing? At this point, let's do karaoke.

6. Come in late

   One of the reasons why you shouldn't buy tickets for a Madonna concert. She always starts her concerts too late for some reason.

   You feel annoyed and you want to leave. You may wait for hours and nothing. Then maybe it starts raining. DAMN!

7. Leave the stage

   Singers may get pissed and leave the stage. In my opinion, it is really childish and annoying.

   Why? Don't your fans mean something to you?

8. Have bad stage presence

9. Sing off-key

   Oh God, Meat Loaf's performance in the 2011 Grand Final.

10. Scream excessively

    More commonplace in rock and metal concerts. Occasionally screaming is fine, but doing it too frequently is rough on the ears. Plus, it can cause damage to the singer's voice.
