RE: Killarney Kommotion (2013 to Present)
Since KK was being discussed in the other thread, I'll move discussion here.
Fixed that for you, but I'll clarify more.
Unless the person who's lip syncing can't actually sing, then there's no reason to have performers lip syncing. It's cheap, it either says either A) The performers lack the talent to sing (which we know the park has no current shortage of singing talent) or B) The park is too cheap to afford real singers, which makes the park look bad. I have a feeling that in his heart, Scott really does think that it's the performers' fault that people hate his show, so I think that might be why he changed the plan from live singing to lip syncing. I can tell you that if I worked for years at something I really loved, got a job doing that, and was told to fake it, I wouldn't be feeling really good about that.
For the record, there have been plenty of instances of fans of pop artists upset because they lip sync at concerts. As somebody who probably likes anything that comes on Z104, you should know this.
As far as a bad crowd, that simply might be because a large chunk of them weren't ent staff like the video or over 12. I'm not sure if you realize this yet, but you are the only person on the forums who has said anything good about the show. I'll also point you here where Zach notedthat when the crowd isn't 99% ent staff, people don't get into it.

Party Rocker said:I think people are trying to use KK as an example that the parkis going to wastehas already wasted talent.
While KK certainly does not usemuchany live singing, this does not mean all future shows will turn out this way.
In fact, KK is the first show I personally have ever known them to lip sync. I prefer they sing live and if audience reaction isn't clear enough, more shows like this won't be happening.
I took a friend who loves dancing and enjoyed the show but felt awkward because the crowdsuckedwere using both their eyes and ears to watch the show and had no reaction.
All in all, don't use KK as an excuse to say the parkwill wastehas already wasted it's talent. It is only one show thatprobably won't be around in the futurehas had iterations in the past and seems to be the direction Scott is taking the shows to as a whole.
Now to get back on track, I feel as though hiring new talent isbeneficialwasteful and unethical as long as the talent is better thanwhat is currentlythe park's current top and fan favorite performs andIif(?) they have the fundsto do sothey clearly don't have because they cut two Illuminight shows, park operations, and entire rides. Don't spend money you don't havefor no reasonunless people hate your shows are hated by the guests your supposed to entertain and blame the performers.
That is mytale on the situationgrossly limited grasp of the situation.
