    hello,

    i am married to a huge prince fan. my husband has collected hundreds of boot legs from prince...each one different and unique...thus prince does not make a habit of lip synching.

    thanks. heather

    I am a trained classical singer and I do a short show with microphone and recorded Orchestra for corporate dinners several times per month. It's a shame that more and more, audiences will assume that I have been lypsincing the show. So, lypsincing hurts us all by lowering our communal validity.
