What percentage of the show will she lipsynch?

What percentage of the show will she lipsynch?

100% of it for sure.

She doesn't even really dance anymore -- she just poses and sashays and periodically shakes her hips. She was such a thrilling performer in her prime.

100% of it for sure.

Oh she might shout "come on" or say "Hello, [insert city name here]!!!" live.

I still have nightmares about her when the Producer of Top of the Pops wanted her to do a live vocal of Let's stay awhile on the show. It has got to be one of the easiest songs for anyone to sing but she insisted upon miming.
She is a talented dancer but a very poor vocalist.

That's just sad. It sounds awful -- and it could have been killer. Jam & Lewis were able to bring out the natural sweetness in her voice. "Pillow Talk" could have been a great showcase for her if they had helmed. Not sure what happened here.

I always said of the intimate bedroom version by Sylvia
…. If only someone were in
the background blasting on a whistle that would complete the imagery.
