Only MJ seems to get a LOT less criticism for lipping than other artists do, and some people just seem to completely ignore that he's the pioneer of lip.
I wouldn't say 90%. He lip synced some of the more elaborate ones to focus on the choreography, but he sung a lot of his material live. From his studio sessions and outakes alone I'd say he had an amazing gift with his voice, so that he lip synced every now and then doesn't bother me either. He was as much a performer and a showman as a musician I suppose.
