Judge not lest ye be judged

Time for something less serious than my last posting. Interestingly enough, I'm posting this during the other major holiday weekend of summer in the USA, Labor Day.

Remember the "Play the guitar on the MTV...Money for nothin' and the chicks for free" song? Well, take a listen to Enrique Iglesias "secretly" taped from his microphone at a lip-synched concert performance. It doesn't sound much different than if I was to sing the same song, although I hope I might do a little better. To be fair, lip-synch is often required when a performance includes a lot of choreography. To dance and sing at the same time, might cause the singer to run out of breath and compromise both the singing and the dancing.

And also consider this picture... The performer has to interact with the audience when crazy fans run up on stage.

So, you see, there's often much more going on underneath the surface than what we might think at first glance.
