Once again, I'm not arguing, but I took my niece to see BSB last year and they did not lip sync and they sounded great live. And Nsync since I have watched many things with them, they don't either. Nsync has a video out called Making The Tour, it was about their tour last year and to prepare for it, they go through months of physical training to prepare. They have stated that they don't want to sound out of breath when they are performing, so they train extensively.And it pays off because they sound great live, I mean if you have ever actually heard them sing, they have awesome, very strong singing voices, their acapella is amazing. In fact, every show I have seen them on, they have never lip synced. That's just another two cents =)
