The Milli Vanilli scandal was not about lipsynching. (It was a RECORD, not a live performance issue.) The issue was that they received "Best New Artist" Grammy while not performing on their own record.
IMHO, the scandal lies far more in the lap of NARAS (the Grammy people) for so consistently going out of their way to recognize "new artists" that do nothing "new."
Case in point: One of the nominees this year was Imogen Heap, a pretty original performer. The winner? "American Idol" spawn Carrie Underwood.
