Lady GaGa vows to never Lip Sync

Lady GaGa has vowed never to lip synch at a concert, insisting singers who perform along to recorded tracks aren’t real artists.

The Just Dance hitmaker is adamant she would never mime the words to her songs, no matter how physically demanding her dance routines are.

And she believes fans deserve to hear her voice in live shows since they have already listened to her vocals on CD.

She says, “I would never even think about it (lip synching). The whole point to me is, if you’re gonna be number one, you better really be f***ing number one. If you’re gonna be on top, you better be able to do all those things, because it’s a real privilege to be able to make music everyday, and I get away with a lot..."

“Andy Warhol says art is what you can get away with, and I get away with a lot with my music and my clothes, and I work really hard so I could truly be a real artist for all my fans. That’s really f***ed up when you lip-synch.”

Lady GaGa's "Poker Face" and "Just Dance" are still burning up the charts and enjoying regular radio play, but she plans to keep it rolling and continue her pop-world domination with two new songs already on the horizon.

The New York native is excited about her new single, "LoveGame," and is eager for fans to check out the new video, directed by music-video vet Jonas Åkerlund, who has previously helmed clips for the Smashing Pumpkins, Madonna, Moby and U2. "LoveGame" is already on the radio, which is very exciting," she told MTV News at the KIIS-FM Wango Tango music festival at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, California. "And I just finished my video for 'Paparazzi,' which I really am very pleased with the way that turned out. It's like a short film."

But the singer isn't just releasing songs off The Fame album — she's already hard at work on some new music. However, don't expect the collection of tunes to make it onto a traditional album release — these songs are more like a thank-you letter to her devoted fans. "I also started writing more music and I'm planning to release approximately six new songs by the end of the year," she explained. "I'm just putting it out there…I don't function on the same industry timeline as everyone else."
