Do MR removed videos actually show an Idol's live singing?

It varies, however in general they aren't that good at actually getting the vocals. It's just harder to strip the audio I guess. Some groups really are that good tho, like Shinee!

I think so, but i know at one point people were messing with the sound of those videos on purpose just to make the idols sound bad so idk if they should be always trusted. I wouldn't say it's the best indicator

Some do and some don't, they're hit and miss.Some are edited so it sounds like they're singing perfectly, but it's actually the backtrack vocals. I don't understand why people do that

personally i prefer to base my judgement on their encore

at least you know they are singing live and have no excuse

Not all encores are live though, now they're doing better but before they had their track vocals, and fans would praise them thinking it was live I think the best way to judge is side focus views, You literally hear the pre recording

Side focus?

Like this? A fancam from the side

This one is special because the instruments are live as well

I've realised all the focus cams usually show all. The side, focus or fan cams. I think fancams aren't that accurate but sometimes you can tell the difference, but focus and side cams aren't done by fans and usually by professionals on the side and usually gives it away. The difference in sound is night and day

No if your idol has a pleasant singing voice you can listen to it isolated and that can be like ASMR for you. But that’s about it.

Some MR removed videos, are actually pre-recorded vocals. So it sounds like perfect live singing because they are pre-recorded. Some videos will state that those are pre-recorded vocals, some won't.

The most accurate live singing on music shows, would probably be encore stages because they only have the instrumental and minimal vocal backtrack

IZ*ONE encore is amazing

The knetizens said that

No. Those videos don’t prove anything about live singing. They can still record live vocals
