LIPSYNCA

I liked this very thorough article on tweaking live, and even obviously canned, preformances: Put Your Voice Where Your Mouth Is in the NYT.

When we saw Damn Yankees yesterday, there were occasional times when you could see their lips move wrong but for the most part, we forgot about it. There was no flim flam over who the actual singers were and you cannot dance like that and sing at the same time.

I have been to a lot of concerts where I couldn't hear very well and would have welcomed 'augmentation'.

Anyway it is an interesting rundown of the art and science of dubbing and its history.
