Also did Christina lip-synch on 'Saturday Night Live' ?

Shelly: Hi Kimberley. No, Christina does NOT lip-sync her songs at all. Especially during her tour, you will never see her lip-sync even one song. The ONLY time she agrees to do that is when it's a performance where the technical decisions are out of her control and she's not given a choice. There are places where she's made appearances that absolutely did not allow her to perform without lip-syncing, although these are very rare. One example was the 2000 Super Bowl. Every artist there was required to lip-sync their track - something to do with the echo.

But as I said, that is quite rare. Christina detests the idea of lipsyncing.

Christina prides herself on singing live whenever and wherever she can. It may just be that her performance was so good on 'Saturday Night Live' that some people think she must have lip-synced. Christina absolutely sang 'I Turn To You,' 'What A Girl Wants' and 'At Last' live on not only SNL, but also at VH1's 'Men Strike Back,' and Rosie O'Donnell. Even when she was just launching her solo career, she sang 'Reflection' from Disney's Mulan soundtrack live on CBS This Morning.

And how would lip-syncing keep someone from recording an album anyway? The artists who are known for lip-syncing perform to their own tracks, so lip-syncing doesn't mean they can't sing in a studio. Tell your local DJs that this rumor makes no sense - it's just silly. By the way, Christina is in the studio working on completing her album. Before that, she just took a short break. But now, she is always in the studio. That's why you haven't seen her much for a while.
