Music's Top 5 Lip-Sync Scandals
Kanye West Is the Latest Artist Accused of Faking It on Stage
Lip-Syncing No Longer Shocking
A year later, in November 1990, press scrutiny led the group's manager to reveal that Milli Vanilli didn't actually sing on their Grammy and American Music Award-winning records.
Four days later, the band's 1990 best new artist Grammy was withdrawn. Arista Records dropped the duo from its roster and deleted their album from their catalog, taking "Girl You Know It's True" out of print.
Despite subsequent albums and attempts at a comeback, Milli Vanilli never shed their status as one of pop music's most legendary cautionary tales, an example never to be repeated by reputable artists. Though, Levine emphasizes, nearly two decades after the Milli Vanilli debacle, lip-syncing is still going strong.
"Years ago, when it was revealed that Milli Vanilli was lip-syncing, it was practically a scandal. People were honest to God shocked," he said. "These days, anyone who's the least bit surprised by this is really naive."
