If I was enough of a fan of Pink or Britney or Bieber any others of those pop princess type acts I'd expect it as par for the course - especially someone like Pink who practically does acrobatics as she "sings".
But the acts I'd pay to see are more in the vein of The Hives and Queens of the Stone Age and Portishead, where a certain amount of artistic authenticity is part of the package, and if they were lip-syncing I'd be farked right off.

not ok, but a part of live music for the last 3+ decades.
doesn't matter though. no one wants to go see Ashlee Simpson live. The best live acts don't do it (or at the worst, use 1-2 recorded tracks for parts they can't produce live.)
like this:
worth noting: a dancing band is both the best band and the best dancers.

Depends on the artist, if your doing because of a lack of ability go f--- yourself, if your a guy like Devin Townsend where there is so many layers to his music its impossible to pull off live without cloning himself 5 or 6 times

I always find it interesting to see which bands sound amazing and which bands sound like crap while singing live. I have been lucky that I haven't paid for a lot of bands that sound better on the cd than they do live.
Not ok at all imo
If you can't sing while doing stage antics then don't do the antics.
If you can't sing live then you aren't a singer.
There is a place for all that, a music video.

I remember there used to be a short-lived show on TV that would broadcast live performances by established groups in a club/studio. I watched an episode that had MDFMK on it, and was really disappointed when it appeared that they were lip synching. They had a concert in Toronto shortly after, but I didn't go since I would have been pissed if I went and they pulled the same thing.
