BoA shows a perfect live performance once again with SHINee’s Taemin

BoA has proven once again that she’s the queen of live performances by singing live on the August 11th performance of “Only One” on MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core‘.

The star had previously earned some criticism for lip syncing her first couple of performances due to the complex choreography involved, but that doesn’t mean her live skills have gone missing.

Proving everyone wrong, BoA has been showing stable live skills that sound like it’s been playing straight from the CD while still handling her choreography like a pro. Not only that, but she threw in a duet dance performance with SHINee’s Taemin without faltering one bit.

Singer Sung Shi Kyung had previously expressed his thoughts on the issue on his MBC Radio show, ‘FM Music City, This is Sung Shi Kyung’, by stating, “A lot of people seemed to have a lot of things to say about BoA lip syncing, but BoA is not a robot. In order to show the fans all of the choreography on stage, sometimes lip syncing may be necessary. Everyone knows that BoA is a good singer. They sure expect a lot.”

Check out her Music Core performance if you haven’t already!
