British hip hop star Jamelia has rebuked fellow pop stars Beyonce Knowles and Britney Spears for lip syncing during live performances.

The singer who mesmerized people like the Prince Of Wales during the recent Party in the Park concert is a Beyonce fan but was disappointed to know that her idol mimics on stage.

“When I realised Beyonce mimes half to three-quarters of her show, that took a lot away for me. I thought, ‘Well, are you an artist or are you an actress?’” Jamelia was quoted by ratethemusic as saying.

“I understand the quest to be an entertainer, but don’t put yourself out there as an artist if that’s not what you are

“I feel it’s cheating the fans and I think it’s disgusting. Pop culture right now is about having a voice in the studio and not having to cut it live. That’s ridiculous,” she added.

Although Jamelia really said this, it is NOT true. Beyonce does not lip-synch through her shows.
