Britney Spears' producer says it's 'better when pop stars mime'

Producer Chris Braide, who worked with Britney Spears on her 'Britney Jean' LP, has revealed that it's completely forgivable for pop stars to mime when they're on stage. 

Speaking to BANG Showbiz this week, the producer explained that he thinks it makes more sense for pop artists to lip-sync because their vocals are so perfect and digitally enhanced on recordings:

"Proper pop was much better when people mimed. As a producer, you spend weeks and weeks trying to make this thing sound absolutely perfect for people to listen to and love and then the poor artist goes on TV and is meant to sing it live in one take at nine in the morning. It's nonsense."

He went onto add that pop stars should focus on putting on a fantastic show rather than ensuring their singing is amazing because that's not what they're typically known for:

"Even Michael Jackson had things on track. It's about a show you know. It annoys me when people attack pop-stars. Pop stars are not there to be Mario Lanza (an American tenor), they're there to be a fantastic pop star.."
