Don't Make Yourself Look Dumb

For those of you that keep up with my videos on YouTube thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words and support. Although, I am a little concerned with some of your comments. Usually I don't say anything about the bad comments because I know there are people out there that just like to be jerks, believe me, I've dated plenty of them, but there is one comment that seems t0 be getting out of hand. The comment has something to do with whether or not I am really singing on my videos. I am NOT lip syncing on ANY of my videos. 

1st of all, in most of my videos, I am playing the guitar. If you were smart, you would know that you can't lip sync and play an instrument at the same time. 2nd, there is more than just a guitar in all of the original versions of the songs that I play which means I'm obviously not lip syncing to the original version, and why would I lip sync to myself? 3rd, If you would take the time to listen to my other videos, you would notice that I sound exactly the same whether I'm singing Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, or Colbie Caillat. Last but not least, have you ever heard of a delay? That's the answer to my mouth not being in sync with the words. Sorry, but I don't have state of the art Hollywood video cameras to make my YouTube videos. You want to spend the money to get me one, I will be glad to use it, but until then don't tell me I'm lip syncing.

Also, the word is lip SYNCING! Not SINGING! If you are going to criticize me, do it right. 

I say all of this to help those of you who think you know more than the rest of us but really don't. I am saving you humiliation, because you are either jealous or just have no clue what you're talking about. 

Maybe I'm being too hard on ya'll. I guess I should take it as a compliment that you think I sound enough like the original artist to say that I'm lip syncing. I have never thought about it that way. 

I'm sorry if this was mean, but I take pride in the fact that I don't lip sync on my videos. I work hard to learn the songs, play, and post the videos that you (the fans) request. If you don't like the videos that's fine. I just ask that you don't make up things that are not true like lip syncing.
