Mostly I have seen Muisicians don't play live while they sing in concerts they just play their recorded song in the background and do the lipsing which looks odd and is a fraud with all their friends.
Even in the CD's instead of playing live music they generate computer sounds?Now is this a true respect of music which our musicians are doing?

after 30 years of watching live musicians i have one test if they can play live they are true musicians, if they have to use tapes they are not good enough and shouldnt be on stage

exactly the only ones who can't sing well and play good use recordings.
this should be banned there must be a law for music as well. why do we pay for tickets go and listen there concerts, we can have a video tape of that singer and play it at our home as well

Pretty much any music artist you have heard has used a computer to aid them in some way, be it big or small. I hate lip synching and would ask for my money back if it happened at a concert. But it would never happen at the hip hop/rock gigs that I go to.
And don't knock on computer generated beats, being able to produce something good is a skill and hip hop producers should have the same respect as any other musician.
What you are defining is pop music.

Well this is an era in which people do not believe in working very hard but in working very smartly. What is the essence of going through the trouble of composing live music if the computer can do it better and faster? I remember when I was taking a course in operations research. It was tough trying to solve problems on linear programing, games theory replacement cost and so on. The following semester, we had another lecturer for that same topic in statistic and mathimatical economics. We expected him to teach us at length how to solve problems on the topics already mentioned. But instead, he just brushed on them and mode on. Then one of us was bold enough to ask him why he couldn't take us farther and give more explanations. The response the lecturer gave was that there exists variety of software that can perform such operations on the computer. He said he saw no reason why we should go through all the troubles. He added that only what we need to know is the principles behind such operations so that we can recognize wrong output. He then advised us to learn computing and how to apply it to our fields of interest. Then I thought probably he was not competent enough in teaching the subject, but now I know better. We only need to work smatter and faster but not necessarily harder.
