I honestly do not care that she is lip syncing here. What is the big deal? so many artists have done this on so many shows. It's not like we don't know that Dionne is talented and can sing. She is still enduring in this fickle industry after 60 plus years in show business. Her lip syncing on TV shows occasionally does not negate or diminish her talent. She is and always will be relevant and fabulous.
@@robertspiegel9215 Yet, I certainly would not appreciate paying to see a singer lip sync. Of course, a television appearance is an entirely different animal with different dynamics. I, for one, thank God that(as a vocalist) I escaped the scathing rigors of being a worldly entertainer. “Only what you do for Christ will last.” PWG
It is so very that Dionne Warwick was not an inductee in this year's r&b hall of fame. All due respect to the other artists. However, Dionne Warwick's many decades of chart toppers should have been considered as well. She has had the longevity that many have not. Why she has been over looked is amazing and appalling. Who has master her vocal range and technique. Promises Promises alone is both difficult to play and sing. Yet, she went from the lower range to hit and sustain the high notes effortlessly. Although she was honored this year at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, she has otherwise been far too long overlooked. Cynthia Erivo sang "Alfie" which was a breathtaking performance. She nailed it and honored Ms. Warwick's classic. Dionne Warwick I have followed you from the Scepter years to present. The voice of the ages. Many may have forgotten you Dionne Warwick, but I yet play you (piano), listen to your artistry and remember when. Bravo Diva Dionne Warwick w/love always. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is she lip syncing here? It sounds pretty much like the recording. Also promises promises is a song that leaves very little room for deviation or embellishments - It pretty much has to be sung As Is. So why do you believe she's lip syncing?
@@markpeter4304 She is lip-syncing here. Play the original studio vocal and play this one. They are identical. No singer sounds exactly like their studio vocal when they sing live. (Also, if you watch her breathing, she isn't taking the slightly larger breaths you need when hitting extended notes. That's a dead giveaway. I'm a longtime professional musician and singer, and this is an easy one to spot)
@@squirrelbutler2119 That's because there is no band playing live, it's a UK programme and alot of the programmes never allowed singers to be live. Look at Top of The Pops
Whether a song wa lip synced or not was usually the decision of the producers of the show, for several reasons . . . the lack of a live band onstage, problems getting vintage sound systems adjusted, etc.

@@danadams4714 Yeah, I think spinadnmarty was simply saying that Dionne Warwick was so talented that she would never need to lip-sync. And she was def lip-syncing on this one Doesn't make your point invalid, though, that it's not necessarily the artist who gets to decide how they will be performing
