Djs who lip sync to a track playing.

A friend of mine asked me a question last week on this...

Does a headliner or a dj your watching, when they lip sync to a track, make you sing too?

I find it interesting, cause sometimes I find my favorite Dj lipsyncin.

For the record, I catch myself doin it too.

I love it when DJ's do that... I can tell the DJ is actually feeling the track, instead of just playing it.

On the other hand I have also seen a few DJ's oversell the fact that they are doing this, pretending they are composers, and that's just annoying as all hell.

I have seen Markus Schulz do it a couple times, I think its awesome 'cause the DJ is really feeling the music he's spining

Ya, I noticed a few times when Ferry and Armin come out, even Tiesto they lip sync, gets the whole crowd raising their hands and singin.

Sometimes too I dance around and stuff, but then realize I have to take it easy. I have a bad acl and dont want it to give out on me on stage...That would suck.

Paavo from A&B does it all the time, and the crowd loves it

I like when djs lip sync, then turn the music down and you can hear everyone singin. I think its a cool effect if its done right.

I remember when PVD did it out here for that one track he remixed and no one knew the words. So some people were humming it. haha

I sing regardless if the dj sings or not only cause I'm a nerd like that

but I agree with seeing the dj doing it, I dont enjoy watching robots dj

Tiesto barely speaks english so when he lipsings its like watching a foreign film.

I definitely do it to those songs that bring chills up my back... and its great interacting with the crowd singing back and forth..
