No wonder she doesn’t have a mic.

Even if you drive the car in reverse, you still get there, right? /s

If you are on stage performing and one of the people is holding their instrument backwards, don’t mess with them. If they turn it around and start actually blowing through it, do you expect the performance to improve? Would you rather look bad, or sound bad?

Maybe, but not a hulusi. With it’s free reed and drone pipes, you won’t be getting anything like musical notes by blowing in the wrong end.

Luckily it didn’t look like she was blowing either.

It’s not lip syncing if they can’t see your lips.

She has since been temporarily banned from future performances, reports said.
I can’t see why. In the US, this is the year’s most popular performance of Chinese flute.

I’ve seen this a lot. Not only events where the performers are apparently organisers/ sponsors possessed of dubious talent, but also faking it. Once had a group of 8 or so men who kept turning the mics away from them, and the performance was drowned out by a recording of a real- and much fuller- choir.
Not sure why audiences tolerate it, really.

Torn between “sad trombone” and “brown note”.

Let’s hear it for Le Petomane.
Excerpt: He brought the house down when he played a flute backward. Near the end (ahem), he stepped offstage and re-emerged with a tube inserted into his anus, like a tail.

Maybe she was sucking on it. Wait, that didn’t sound good.
