Lip Sync

In today's society, the use of lip syncing is becoming more common in the music industry. There were several controversies that enraged people and initiated debate whether they should or should not lip sync. These include Chris Brown at the 2012 Grammy's, Beyonce at the 2012 Presidential Inauguration , Jennifer Lopez when she performed with Pitbull at American Idol and the list goes on.

Personally I am for and against lip syncing. It varies depending on the situation. I have several reasons why I feel this way. For example, I would prefer seeing an artist dance moves rather than listening to their singing, if only they put on an amazing show. I would understand that when you sing and dance at the same time it may take away from the overall performance because the type of choreography they may be doing, they might feel out of breath and their voice may sound like they are gasping for air. If I don’t get a good performance as a result of lip syncing and dancing instead of wasting my money on a terrible show I would’ve rather listen to an audio CD at home.

I truly believe there's a difference between an entertainer and a singer and to me if people do not know the difference they would not really enjoy some of the concerts. There are many singers that can sing and dance really well. For example, the pop singer P!NK performs some really great acrobatic moves while singing live and sound totally amazing. Some performers that do not lip sync may do the same but it may not be as perfect as others but they manage to satisfy the majority of their fans and still give an awesome and honest performance. I guess it depends on how talented of an artist they are. I know I recognize the difference so my opinion is a lot broader than others. In some other cases, artist may use lip syncing due to certain technical difficulties instead of canceling the show or sometimes the artist is told to lip sync by the event producers because there is a greater cost attached to live singing as compared to lip syncing.

Artist like Adele who has really great vocals would truly disappoint me to know that she lip synced at a concert for which I spent hundreds of dollars to attend. I would feel really cheated because it is her vocals that made her so popular. Another popular vocalists is Christina Aguilera who to me has one of the best voices I think of all time, and having spent hundreds of dollars to see her sing, I would definitely expect to get value for my hard earned money.

On the other hand, it may be necessary to empathize with some of the entertainers who have to endure long hours of performing on tours and vocal training, which makes them so drained that they are unable to deliver the quality performance that their audience deserve and paid for. The same regard must also be advanced to the supporting staff, especially the members of the band who endure similar experiences and hardships as the vocalists.

To sum things up, lip syncing could be a good or bad thing. Things to keep in mind would be that the performers go thru a very demanding and high stress vocal training session, which can put a toll on their ability to perform at 100%. As oppose to the performers not taking in consideration that their fans deserve a genuine performance in which they spent money to get. So with that in mind, lip syncing depends on the ability of the performer to perform or the mental state of the performer to do what’s right.

Market Description

...The rain lashed down onto the car park floor with the force of nails, struck by a colossal hammer. The clouds dominated the afternoon sky engulfing the glaring sun light into its grey abyss. Row, upon row, upon row, of cars filled the car park all leading me towards the supermarket entrance. Above the entrance stood tall overtowering everything there was four letters of TESCO, glowing with blue defiance against the gloomy weather. Outside was a dwindling supply of shopping trolleys that were rattling in sync with the gusts of wind, soon to be used by the next wave of rush hour customers. The huge automatic entrance door parted people walked towards it, eager to be inside. A cool, air conditioned breeze brushed across their face as soft as the finest of silks. The supermarket was packed with people and the sound of chatting and the squeaking of trolley wheels filled the shop. There was an abundance of fruit and vegetables lined the shelves; an array of colours that could put a rainbow to shame. The scent of oranges, apples, bananas and many more tempted the customers to delve deeper into the shop and the aisles beyond. Deep within the supermarket, a small child dragged his feet along the polished marble as he was pulled along; shiny, smart trainers screeched piercingly against the flooring.Whining as loud as a banshee, he began a struggle to break free of his mother's hand grasp. His eyes started to well up with tears. Angry rivers cascaded down his cheeks. No response. No...

...him, it makes him ooze out passion. He describes her as the girl with sparkling eyes and lips red as ambers.

He was so familiar with the forest that even the inhabitant animals could not match up with him in knowing the intricacies of the forest.

A Summary Of Jane's Case

...John kissed down Jane’s stomach to her lower abdomen. He began to kiss around her vagina and slowly made his way towards it. As John began to perform cunnilingus, Jane grabbed onto her breasts and felt the swelling of her nipples (Lehmiller, 2013). Her breaths started to hasten as she began to come close to reaching orgasm. She knew she often reached her relief much sooner than John did. He enjoyed performing oral sex on her and he reached a level of satisfaction from doing it. Jane felt her uterus begin to contract (Lehmiller, 2013), she knew this feeling all too well and began to prepare herself for the wave that was soon to come. She began to rock her body. The strong feeling began in her feet and was slowly making its way up her body. Jane pushed herself into John’s mouth just as she reached her orgasm. Her body went limp. She stared up at the ceiling as her muscles began to relax. John was aware of what had just happened. He knew his wife’s body and what would push her over the edge. Being the “giver” that he is, John felt a sense of satisfaction from making his wife reach orgasm. This satisfaction ran deep and was on a sexual level for John, He reached down and felt the pre-ejaculation leaking from his penis. Looking down at his chest, he noticed a red flush of color.

John lay beside his wife and began to kiss her. He knew...

After he got the truck door open, he swooped me up and helped me inside. I tilt my head on the back of the seat, laughing uncontrollably. Being drunk is very amusing apparently. Lefty drives back to my house and helps me inside my home. We reach my bedroom and I begin removing all my clothes. I stand in front of him, completely naked, Lefty scans his eyes up and down my body while keeping his demeanor as a gentlemen. “Do you want this?” I slurred.

...halt their romp. “Only when it comes to you…” The heiress felt relieved when Richard didn’t question her at all, and she smiled against his lips when their tongues tangled. Being in control was something that she tried to fight Karl for, and was shut down with minimal effort on his part. Watching Richard do as she asked made the socialite feel more in control of herself and her emotions, some of the tension that she had been carrying melting away at the sight of him obligingly laying on his back. Straddling his thighs, she gasped when his hand landed close to a bruise that had already formed on her ass. “Naughty! I bet I could make you cum with just a touch.” Lexi teased him, reaching out one finger to delicately trace the length of his straining cock. “But I’m a generous woman, so I won’t keep you waiting…long.” As she spoke her hand moved to grip the base of his cock, guiding the glistening tip of him against her slick cunt. “Mmmm, do you think you’ve been good enough to earn this?” It felt a little out of place for Alexandra to be the one on top, but she liked the feeling. She had been truthful though that she wouldn’t play the tease for long, both of them nearly on the edge of completion. “I think you have been.” She aligned the head of his cock with her dripping pussy and sank down an inch at a time as she spoke, until her cunt lips kissed the base of his cock. Lexi threw her head back as she began to ride him, her thighs moving her up and down slowly at first and then building...

...focusing on something else?" she finally snapped, turning to look at the driver, who had in fact turned completed around to look directly at her and Brett; the rear-view mirror was apparently not enough of a view for him. He didn't reply, but thankfully, turned around and projected the car forward through the night without a word. "Now, for you.." Elena said, turning back towards Brett, her eyes dark and lit only by the lights of the city as they wound silently towards their destination. She abruptly pushed him back against the soft leather seats, and swung her leg over him to straddle his hard bulge. With another hand, she gripped the short hair at the back of his neck and pulled him against her for a deep kiss. Her tongue pushed between his lips, and she kissed him hard until she had to pull back for air. Her hips circled over his, grazing delicately over his bulge wih just enough pressure to make him aware of her presence over him. She pushed her swollen breasts against him as she moaned almost uncontrollably into his ear. "Once is luck. Twice, and I'm yours until the morning," she breathed softly in his ear, quietly enough that he'd know the driver couldn't hear. She lingered by his ear for a moment, and gently bit down on his earlobe while she let her challenge hang in the air. The car slid to a stop outside of Brett's apartment. The city was dark by then, and quiet, except for the sound of a few girls laughing in the distance, and the ever-present hum cars passing by. The...

Mystery Egg

... Teacher Love at the lips was touch As sweet as I could bear; And once that seemed too much; I lived on air That crossed me from sweet things, The flow of - was it musk From hidden grapevine springs Down hill at dusk? I had the swirl and ache From sprays of honeysuckle That when they're gathered shake Dew on the knuckle. I craved strong sweets, but those Seemed strong when I was young; The petal of the rose It was that stung. Now no joy but lacks salt That is not dashed with pain And weariness and fault; I crave the stain Of tears, the after mark Of almost too much love, The sweet of bitter bark And burning clove. When stiff and sore and scarred I take away my hand From leaning on it hard In grass and sand, The hurt is not enough: I long for weight and strength To feel the earth as rough To all my length. “To Earthward” by Robert Frost exemplifies the concept of how attraction and love change over the years from youth to bitter love to a love that craves relief from the pain of life. Frost begins the poem’s first stanza with the lines “Love at the lips was touch/As sweet as I could bear”.  With this opening phrase Frost shows that youthful love is...

Is Bad Kisser a Deal Breaker

...Deal Breaker? He turns her towards him, looks into her eyes with a slight smile. He bends towards her and their lips meet. All of a sudden, he starts kissing aggressively. She feels something wrong. The kiss is wrong. It gradually becomes a sloppy, wet and gooey kiss. She has thought he was perfect, but for the first time ever, she ends up dating a bad kisser. This half-way romantic scene seems to happen with a lot of people. Some agree that bad kissers do not work out for them, or they cannot maintain a long term relationship because of the lack of chemistry. However, I personally would not break up with a potential partner if he or she was a “bad” kisser because there are other factors that we need to consider such as individual physical attractions, conversation, personality, and that bad kissers can be fixed. While kissing technique does a crucial element in stimulating chemistry, individual physical attractions such as hearing, visualizing, and touching are equally important in contributing to the sexual attraction between couples. According to the article “Puckering Up Now Just Lip Service?” the lips are the most sensitive parts and kissing is the fastest way to stimulate sex drive between two people (Elia/Chen, p. 11). However, there are other erogenous zones - particular areas on the body that responds to sexual attraction - that can work the same as the lips (Lecture, 09/17/14). Different people are attracted by different parts of the body. Hearing, visualizing, and touching...

Creative Writing: Cayenne Pepper For Lucious, Thick Lips

...for Lucious, Thick Lips Yeah, I know... it sounds weird, however, using cayenne pepper for luscious, thick lips is not as odd as one would think. It's much safer than the Kylie Jenner Challenge. Have you seen or heard about it? It's where you take a small container like a shot glass and cover your lips and suck. Sucking in the air creates friction and when you remove the glass, your lips are bigger. Sometimes, they are much bigger than anticipated. LOL Really, it's no laughing matter as this practice comes with a warning. The glass could break and could cause injury. Still, you could get injections but who's got time or money for that. Or you can stick with the natural resources that you already have around the house. If you are sensitive to hot, spicy foods then this may not be for you. However, I love spicy, so I had to try it and the results are in... I'll do it again! LOL Fortunately, I was born with a set of full lips, but sometimes, I want to add a little ump and mystic to my appearance.

Personal Narrative: Back Seat Driving

...You cup your breast and squeezes them together pinching and twisting your nipples, sucking in your bottom lip and bringing one hand to your mouth and suck on your finger to both torture me, and to make it wet. You take that finger and knead on your nipples arching your back as your hand continues down your body to the hot wet folds of your pussy, and you let out a triumphant moan as you feel the SUV accelerate. I snap out of my quick moment of weakness to let up on the gas, I can’t let you beat me like this. So I wrap my hand around my cock pulling him down between my thighs and stroke and milk him still knowing that I can’t win but refusing to concede. I give you a quick sideways glance, you’re smart and won’t give me the satisfaction of even looking, instead you bring your now wet glistening hand to your mouth and slide your fingers between those perfect lips and into your mouth with a delicious moan just to hear me whimper with jealousy. AHHHH! A red light, and still only half way home. I’m cracking under the pressure; I reach and caress your hair as you’re pleasuring yourself, your skin flush, your beautiful exposed breast heaving and your swollen lips parted to take in air. You push your head back into the seat hard, your legs shake and your whole body...

...In all the rush of clammy palms rushing to remove clothing, teeth clashing against skin, heavy breaths, wonderful _chaos_, the compliment came as a soft surprise that stopped Dementia in her tracks. The mouth that had caused deep bruises and small wounds curved into a small smile, a small blush creeping onto her pale features as she sat in silence for a moment. It seemed as if the rush had calmed, even if for a moment, and it was enough for her - It was enough for her to gently lift the bag, just enough to see the bottom half of his face, simply so she could place a soft kiss upon his scarred lips. Quickly, however, she let it fall back to its original place and maintained her soft grin as she looked at him. Lovingly, almost, but not without...
