It’s a battle of the questionably-talented divas. According to The Huffington Post, pop star Ke$ha claims to have helped Britney Spears write her songs before becoming famous in her own right (for that insidious track “TiK ToK”), and now Ke$ha is criticizing Brit for lip-syncing.
“I don’t think that’s fair at all for people who are going to see the show,” Ke$ha told Scotland’s Daily Record. “I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance. If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing.”
She’s not the only one who has accused Britney of lip-syncing; throngs of disappointed fans stormed out of a Britney concert in Australia last year for the same reason.
“It’s treating people as if they are too stupid to realize you are not actually singing,” Ke$ha continued. “Sometimes it is hard to sing and dance at the same time, but I would rather be off and be real and genuine about it to my fans. I don’t want to treat my fans like they are stupid…When I am singing, I may sound s–t sometimes, but at least you’ll know I’m singing.”
I thought we had all accepted that lip-syncing was a part of pop music — do we really expect stars to do all those crazy dances and actually sing? Would you rather hear poor, breathless vocals or just accept the lip-syncing?

Britney will win this battle. She always wins. Check out her bio, “Britney Spears: Little Girl Lost” this April. You can get it here: http://www.amazon.com/Britney-Spears-Little-Girl-Lost/dp/1926745027/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1267036263&sr=8-1. Should be good.
