Great singers often contort their facial features in order to hit high notes, and this Music Faces [Tumblr](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/livebox) captures those candid moments for the sake of comedy. Sure, singers don't look ridiculous live when they make these odd expressions for mere fractions of a second, but luckily, photography was invented and humans can now document the strangeness that is the looks on musicians' faces.

Some of the high-profile names featured on the Music Faces Tumblr include Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, Chino Moreno, Christina Aguilera, Karen O, Beyonce and Nicki Minaj.

Most of the pictures on Music Faces come from [live concerts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musiccam), which means many of the performers seen don't have the luxury of television make-up crews to pretty them up. Be warned, this blog may potentially ruin the untainted image of your [favorite musicians](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-news).
