Lady Gaga suffers concussion during New Zealand concert. - Polidicks

[quote]Lady Gaga suffered a concussion after being struck in the head by a pole while performing in New Zealand. The singer was playing her final of three sold-out shows in Auckland when a male backup performer, who was trying to remove the stage prop, accidentally hit her in the head while she was bending over during the song Judas.[/quote] Video Footage: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBWMAVbjN1k&feature=plcp[/media]

Is she lip syncing?

Sure as hell seemed like it. I woulda been like [B]"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!" [/B]

Lol lip syncing

In her dazed state she began blurting strange noises, later identified to be her songs.

She must be a robot. Hit in the head and keeps singing as if nothing happened :v:

They forgot the part about how I am supposed to care and why this is news. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Why reply at all?" - Craptasket))[/highlight]

who cares if she's lip-syncing. people go to mega-popstar concerts to see a performance [editline]1[/editline] and the performer

Most musicians have enough talent to sound good live as they do studio, she's obviously an exception. I bet she fakes her piano playing too.

So you're telling me that a popstar, who has a tiring travel schedule, who uses electronically produced music with no real band playing, you're telling me that she's lip syncing?

I can't speak for your average Gaga fan but if I paid for a concert and didn't actually get live music I'd be pretty pissed.

that looked really painful

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;36290831]Most musicians have enough talent to sound good live as they do studio, she's obviously an exception.

I woulda been like [B]"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!" [/B][/QUOTE] and that's why you aren't a performer

[QUOTE=ThisGuy0;36290870]Well yeah a music performance. I can't speak for your average Gaga fan but if I paid for a concert and didn't actually get live music I'd be pretty pissed.[/QUOTE] believe me you're not the average consumer of mass media. most people want to be entertained when they go to concerts. whether or not a performer is singing live is a nonissue

[QUOTE=Sanius;36290966]believe me you're not the average consumer of mass media. most people want to be entertained when they go to concerts. whether or not a performer is singing live is a nonissue[/QUOTE] Most people do not want lip syncing when they go to watch their favorite band/artist.

I remember when bands and singers actually played their instruments and sang, and miming was the extreme minority... I'm looking at you, Monkees. It's one of the reasons I like Muse. If they're told to mime their performance for a TV spot, they just take the piss because they hate it

[QUOTE=Sanius;36290966]believe me you're not the average consumer of mass media. most people want to be entertained when they go to concerts. whether or not a performer is singing live is a nonissue[/QUOTE] I'm pretty certain it is when the only talent she has beside prancing around on stage in costume is [i]singing[/i].

[QUOTE=Pr0vologne;36291036]I'm pretty certain it is when the only talent she has beside prancing around on stage in costume is [i]singing[/i].[/QUOTE] she's an entertainer first and an artist second

I thought she never lip sync'd?

[QUOTE=Pr0vologne;36291036]I'm pretty certain it is when the only talent she has beside prancing around on stage in costume is [i]singing[/i].[/QUOTE] unless you're paying for her music or tickets to see her shows i dont think you can feel a sense of entitlement to the way she performs lol

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;36290831]Most musicians have enough talent to sound good live as they do studio, she's obviously an exception. I bet she fakes her piano playing too.[/QUOTE] Most musicians probably wouldn't sound as good live as they do studio if they had to run around and do some crazy show like most pop stars do.

[video=youtube;hYKnGMdSQdM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYKnGMdSQdM[/video] It's especially hilarious because Matt Bellamy didn't even hit the drums at 3:14.

woohoo new zealand!!!

wow she got a concussion! SO FUNNY! She's a popular singer so that makes her getting a concussion funny!

[QUOTE=TheTalon;36291022]I remember when bands and singers actually played their instruments and sang, and miming was the extreme minority... [/QUOTE] you must not remember much because miming was the absolute standard on TV and some shows decades ago. probably because it used to be pretty disastrous: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTb2rZ0SBg4[/media]
