It is a BIT annoying that Britney and other artists have been known to lip synch their entire career/tours, and nobody seems to care

But when Xtina does it for a few songs or a few moments, or sings along WITH a track, ppl act like HOW DARE SHE

I get it tho... I think ppl hold her to a higher standard bc of being known as a big/iconic vocalist

This is the truth and you guys can hate me as much as you want.

Well I was at both Hollywood Bowl shows which were just a year ago and she was SINGING DOWN the ENTIRE show -- and lots of big, intricate, fun vocals.

BUT, she also didn't have to move/run/dance/jump around very much for that type of show.

I think in her mind, when it's a more high energy show/set (like Mallorca or Pride) she IN HER MIND thinks it means she can't really put so much energy/effort into the vocals bc then she thinks she'll be out of breath for the moving/walking/hand+ arm choreo etc.

Bc when she has shows where she mostly just stands there, or moves slowly/not often, she delivers very focused and intentional vocal performances.

It's crazy that she thinks some songs/parts of song are difficult enough to sing live so she lips them but then she sings the opening ANOM note lmao

For the times she mimes the bigger notes/riffs lately, I don't necessarily think it's that she thinks she CAN"T do it live --- but more so out of security that she doesn't have an unpredictable off moment and flub it live and "let ppl down"

I think in her mind she knows ppl like to see her/think of her as this amazing voice, and if you do all those big riffs/belts live live every time, you're bound to flub it or mess something up once -- bc that is just HUMAN nature to have an off moment/day.

But to make sure it sounds good/like ppl expect, she just would rather fake it for the moment instead of risking it.

(Think of the vocal crack during Make the world Move on The Voice for example)

for rehearsal/soundcheck they often just use the track with backing vocals etc. to run through the staging etc, not necessarily for her to rehearse her vocals live -- as I'm sure she goes on vocal rest before longer performances
