Mayday’s lip-synching incident caused controversy
Mayday is a heavyweight band in the Chinese music scene. It is deeply loved by music fans for its soulful songs and shocking live performances. However, the recent lip-syncing incident at Mayday's concert has attracted widespread attention and fierce controversy. Mayday, who has always been known as the "King of Concerts", is facing unprecedented doubts.
The incident originated from the professional appraisal by netizens of part of the audio of Mayday’s concert on November 16. The results showed that among the 33 songs, 12 songs contained lip-synching. For example, "Cheers", "Love ING", "Contentment", "My Lover Is Missing" and "Sad People Don't Listen to Slow Songs" are lip-synced. The first few lines of "Write This Song for You" are false, but the rest are true.
What is even more disappointing is that in the two songs that Mayday collaborated with the band Gaiwuren, Gaiwuren sang for real, while Mayday lip-synched. This behavior not only made the guest who actually sang feel aggrieved, but also disappointed the fans.
Mayday’s old fans began to break the news in the comment area. Some people said that they had followed Mayday’s concerts for a year. They broke the news that in fact, Mayday’s real and fake singing differed greatly, and many performances included lip-synching. , some songs have been lip syncing since a certain point in time, while other songs are alternately real and fake.
As for the issue of lip-syncing and false-singing, relevant departments have clearly stipulated that entertainers are not allowed to deceive the audience by lip-syncing or performing, otherwise they will face corresponding penalties. Fans were also confused by Mayday's bold behavior. Some netizens explained that Mayday found a loophole. As long as their microphones are not closed, even if there is only one line in a song with a real voice, it is not a violation.
Netizens have complained about Mayday’s lip-synching, believing that they hold concerts essentially to make money and cut leeks. Especially after the concert market returns, they seem eager to hold several concerts in one city. But fans are deeply disappointed. They believe that even if Mayday is not in good condition, she can hold fewer concerts, but she cannot deceive fans' feelings.
