Russian singer Philipp Kirkorov has once again found himself at the center of a scandal due to the use of a phonogram on stage.
Disgruntled fans were offended by the fake instead of a live performance.
A video from his concert has appeared online, showing the artist dancing and changing outfits on stage, 7Dney.ru reports.
At some point, the microphone was fed with a delay, and the audience heard a recorded vocal part.
Fans were unhappy that they paid for tickets expecting to hear real singing, but were instead met with a soundtrack.
Comments from viewers were full of disappointment: “When will the artists stop singing to a soundtrack?”, “It’s time to copy.”
Many people believe that viewers pay money to hear a live performance, not a recording.
