    Well now that we know that Jen sings great live- what do you guys prefer? Would you rather her perform and sing live, or would you rather her go all-out visually and dance almost the entire time (but lipsynched). I'd much rather her lipsynch and see her dance. Those energetic performances of Love Don't Cost A Thing, Waiting for Tonight, If You Had My Love, etc. were amazing! With her new english album coming soon what do you think she's gonna do? She can't really do both cuz she'll sound horrible and out of breath. I was gonna make this a poll but what happened to that?

      oh and for a tour, i'd say lipsynch all the upbeat songs, sing live for the ballads and mid-tempo R&B tracks.

        i would say re-record all the upbeat dance songs to make them sound live, and sing live all the ballads and mid-tempos. i wouldnt mind her attemptin to sing live one or two of her dance songs.

          If she does Tour she better sing live, and she can have some help on the up-tempo song but sing live over the playback like Justin did on his last Tour.

          i have been to one concert where the artist (Britney) lypsynched all the songs and it sucked big time

                ^^Yeah.

                If it's uptempo, she can lip-synch. I'd like to hear the spanish ones live, though.

                  it's not exactly in the top of it , at least for justin but he sang a part live and when he was dancing it wasn't something like that.

                  but if she lypsinch on the up-tempo songs she should pre-record them.

                    I. HATE. LIP SYNCING.

                    I don't care if its Jen. You are a singer, so sing, no matter how bad it is, or get off the stage. I hate that crap. I don't fall for that "I can't dance AND sing!" Um, Broadway performers do. They are trained singers and dancers, just like Jen, and that's where she started. No excuses. She can do it. Prepare for it properly, and she can do it.

                        sorry to break it to you but jen's voice isn't that strong. it's improved over the years and she CAN sing live but I don't think she sounds good when she sings while dancing. if she's gonna sing live she'd better be standing or sitting cuz she won't hit the notes. i love her to death but it just won't work. she can do it...but it will sound bad lol. and she knows it too. why do you think she lipsynchs?

                          She's a singer. So I agree that she sould sing live whether it's good or bad. What's the difference if she lipsynchs when I can also listen to the studio versions on her CDs? I wouldn't pay 100USD or something to listen to playback music at a concert. At least pre-recording the songs to make them sound live is acceptable.

                            I'm aware her voice isn't the strongest, but still. Then why perform, if its so bad? Why be a singer at all? That's bullshit. Slow down the dancing, let the backup dancers take over and sing the songs. I wouldn't be happy if I shelled out for her show and barely got anything live.

                            Lip syncing just pisses me right off, no matter who it is or the circumstances.

                              Sing the best to her effort and dance,as long as she puts on an amazing show.

                                She can sing and dance!
                                and yeah, her voice is not that strong, but a real singer, doesn't need a powerful voice..they just need to know how to touch us with their voices.
                                that's enough.

                                  I don't think anyone thinks Jen's voice is the same as Christina's but let's get serious. Paying too much for lipsynching is just plain dumb.

                                      I've always said it...I want an off the charts 'performance' because that's who she is to me...a performer. so I'd want a nice mix of both...neither one should overpower the other...but truth is, I more want to see her shakin' it the way she used to...

                                      IMO the show start's suckin' when she misses notes and sounds horrible..so I'd rather that be taken care of in a studio lol...dancing though can't be faked

                                          ur payin to be entertained, not demandin to hear her sing live. i still want her 2 do that tho, but if she needs 2lipsynch 4 sumthings... thats fine wit me. im payin 2 SEE HER live dance, do her thing, and sing her slow songs. not necessarily to hear her sing EVERYTHING live.

                                            For the highly choreagraphed songs like If You Had My Love or Get Right, i wouldnt mind her to lipsynch... Although some performers like Ciara can really do both at the same time (re-record the songs ti make them sound live is the best solution)

                                            but for the ballads (Baby I Love You, CAUM songs...), the midtempos (Feelin So Good) and even some of the uptempos where she isnt dancing so much (Like in Im Real, Waiting for Tonight) she better sing live... i pay to see her sing, i dont mind some dance numbers but singing live is essential...

                                              I think she can do it, she simply lacks the confidence.

                                              However, like some of you guys above, I'd be paying for the performance and to see her in person. Singing live isn't the most important thing for me.

                                                  I totally agree its about performancing not just singing, and the fact that she's an amazing dancer
                                                  that's something a lot of artisits can't do
