Did Joe Exotic sing his own songs?

Just finished "Tiger King" and know there's no way, but I would like to know the actual singer.

It turns out that there are two musicians behind the Joe Exotic songs, and neither of them are the man himself. According to Vanity Fair, Vince Johnson and vocalist Danny Clinton, members of the Clinton Johnson Band, are the ones who wrote and recorded all the big cat hits, including “I Saw A Tiger” and “Here Kitty Kitty.” The two men do appear in the credits of Tiger King, but Joe Exotic insisted to his staff and crew that it was him performing the songs. And he also didn’t bother telling the real musicians that he was taking the credit.

“I had no idea he was going to Milli Vanilli the songs,” Johnson told Vanity Fair. “It was a couple of months and two or three songs [into the collaboration] when I was on YouTube one night and just happened to look up Joe Exotic. And there he was, lip-syncing and acting like the ghost of Elvis [in these Music Videos]. I called him up, I was hot…And he bamboozled me about his reality show—that it was coming soon and he would make everything right as rain. I just wanted the proper credit.”

Do the people on high school musical lip sync?

I think they are required to know how to sing and act because most times the star of the show sings the theme song. but Dylan and Cole Sprouse do not know how to sing considering i have never heard them before. but i don't really know about Dylan and Cole Sprouse though.

Does shahrukh khan sing his own songs?

yes he does sing for himself.... he's even admitted it before! And its common sense, just listen closely to his talking voice and the voice when he sings.... sounds the same! And i forgot the movies name but its one of his first when he stocks a girl and her boyfriend was sonny and they end up killing him at the end. In one of the parts his curled into a ball singing while rocking back and fourth! There was no music and it was all him! He sounded exactly the same! But it is true that many/most Bollywood actors do not sing for themselves. The only three that I know for a certain fact that do sing for themselves are Sharuk Khan, Sonny Deole , and Amitab Batchan....... (and i know i must of spelled one of their names wrong but im not the best speller in the world)
