There's a lot wrong in that for such a short sentence.

The Beatles were not at all renowned for lip syncing. They grew up playing live in Hamburg and played countless live shows, both during and post-Beatles. Many of their most famous TV appearances including Ed Sullivan were performed live. I'm sure you can find times when they were required by shows to lip sync, but I find the criticism a little bizarre.

As for writing by committee, about 88% of the songs they recorded were written by the band themselves. Which committee are you referring to then? Perhaps you take issue with the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership? That would stretch the definition of committee to its limits. For you, any music written by more than one person is unacceptable?
