I also watched Itzy’s performance and as much as I love them, it wasn’t it… The part with the detective and Ryujin kicking ass was cool, but the beginning was just them staring sexily at the cameras flanked by backup dancers dressed embarrassingly, imo, as sexy kittens; then came lip syncing… They didn’t even dance that hard, why couldn’t they sing? Had they danced hard, they still should’ve sang; that’s why they get mics - they aren’t fucking accessories. The MITM performance had a tiny, very bland, dance break and more lip syncing. Was the performance entertaining? Sure. But it was empty and disappointing anyway. If idols had actually interesting choreography instead of the same dance moves and a staring contest with the cameras during the “dance breaks”, all of these performances wouldn’t look the fucking same. Oh, and live singing would be nice too. I don’t care if the choreography is hard. If they practiced singing and dancing they would probably get there, and there’s nothing wrong with not dancing much while singing or sounding a little bit off and breathless. 

I’m not saying that they never lip sync, but when you go on about a vocal sounding exactly like the studio or another performance, it’s like… that’s the point? They should be able to sing like their studio if they were singing in a comfortable range for them.

You think they go up on stage every night and pretend to sing? They wanted to be there, actually singing. For lots of them that was their dream! Unless they’re doing a complicated dance routine and still sounding perfect, they’re probably not faking it. Even then. They train for it.
