I feel slightly ashamed to be able to say this but Bieber doesn't lip synch or at least not all the time. A couple years ago I went to a Stevie Wonder charity gig and he was one of the performers. We know he didn't lip synch because he was off pitch and blamed it on the same sound equipment that several soul legends had used perfectly fine before him that night.
There are a bunch of proper musician front men out there that are truly talented and have personality on stage but, like pretty much all of us are saying, music is a niche experience now. So, guys that might super stars in my circles may be barely known in yours and vice versa. I don't even really know if I think that is a bad thing.
I do think it is right that the 'rock stars' of today are hip hop guys with the likes of Kanye and Jay-Z and then from there you have the solo singers like Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke. I'm talking personality/persona/popularity rather than pure talent. Which makes sense because if you do turn on a normal commercial radio station right now, that is likely what you are going to hear.
