Rita Ora was called out during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in , when many noticed her lips weren't quite synced up to her vocals. Macy's later tweeted to apologize for technical difficulties during the show, saying they negatively impacted some musicians' performances.
But , lip-syncing seems to be the norm at the famous holiday parade due to technical limitations. Later that day, fellow musician John Legend tweeted, " Fun fact. We all have to lip sync on this parade because the floats don't have the capacity to handle the sound requirements for a live performance.
Ora responded to Legend, thanking him for saying what she was about to say. During a performance at the BET Awards, rapper 50 Cent appeared to skip singing the first verse of his track "Amusement Park" while pre-recorded vocals continued to play. Instead of mouthing the words, the singer interacted with the crowd. Though he did not explicitly say he had been lip-syncing, the singer implied that things did not go according to plan during the performance. After an unforgettable performance at "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" event in in which the singer was noticeably out of sync with her own music, Mariah Carey began pacing the stage, dancing, and talking as a pre-recorded track played.
In a later interview with Entertainment Weekly, she explained that she was "mortified" about the experience. Princess of Pop Britney Spears has been accused numerous times of lip-syncing during her live performances. In , in response to media criticism, the singer told Rolling Stone that the lip-sync accusations really bother her. It really pisses me off because I am busting my a-- out there and singing at the same time and nobody ever really gives me credit for it.

In an open letter on the band's website that seems to have since been taken down, bassist Flea explained that the producers of the Super Bowl halftime show required a partially pre-recorded performance so it would not risk airing any technical mishaps. Victoria Beckham, former Spice Girl Posh Spice and fashion mogul, said that her mic was usually turned off during live performances i n a interview with Claudia Winkleman at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
It wasn't turned down. Not that I know of. Maybe she secretly asked for that — I don't know about that. World globe An icon of the world globe, indicating different international options.

But host Dick Clark says he supported the group, claiming that he met the group's warnings of chaos with "be my guest," and later ranking the performance as one of the best in Bandstand history.
The in-ear monitor malfunction heard 'round the world will undoubtedly be remembered for many ball-drops to come, with Mariah's ad-libbed, lip-synced and often not-even-lip synced , self-narrated debacle proving an instantly iconic moment in live television history. However, despite the weeks' worth of headlines it's well on its way to producing, it's hard for the incident to crack the top two on the list, because it's just so Mariah -- the diva is beloved by fans nearly as much for her unpredictability, peerless shading skills and ability to own disaster as she is for her singular pop back catalog at this point.
In no time, it'll just be part of Mimi lore, like Glitter , the TRL appearance, and every other once-inauspicious moment that today adds to her overall legend. The unreal sequence of Ashlee Simpson's SNL blunder proved that in the 21st century, how you deal with getting caught in a lip sync is much more important than the incident itself.
Of course, Simpson decided to deal with it by doing a couple jigs, blaming her band, then blaming acid reflux, with each step further digging herself deeper underneath the snowballing story -- and unlike Mariah, whose brand is part crisis at this point, this hardly worked for the thinking-person's-pop-star persona Ashlee had previously made for herself. Today, it's the thing the once-promising star is probably remembered best for, and that hilarious, stupefying video of her hoeing down while her career crumples around her looks positively Nero-esque.
The revelation came slowly to public knowledge, but first bubbled up in a Club MTV live performance, where a skipping recording exposed the two as lip-syncing, resulting in them running off the stage mid-gig. The mishap was low-visibility enough that their career continued mostly unabated from there, but after singer Charles Shaw told the press that his voice was on the records and group manager Frank Farian eventually confirmed it, the backlash was unprecedented -- with the duo having their Grammy revoked and being forced to refund album and ticket purchasers for their deception.
They never had another hit, and long after the memories of Mariah's incident and those of other future mimers have receded into the background, they will remain the act most inextricable with the phrase "lip syncing. Search term. Billboard Pro Subscribe Sign In.
Top Artists. Top Charts. I just ran off the stage. In a time before social media watchdogs and when lip-syncing to live performances was commonplace, Milli Vanilli got away with their ruse for longer than they might have today.
But now their name is pretty much synonymous with the biggest lip-syncing scandal in pop culture history. So he set out to assemble a team to recreate a new version, taking the original hip-hop track and mixing it with a bit of Eurodance, according to Billboard. He started recruiting singers in — sisters Linda and Jodie Rocco sang backup and Charles Shaw rapped on the track.
But he still went with it and just started mixing voices. Eventually, Brad Howell and John Davis were brought in for vocals. There was no denying that Farian knew what he was doing. His version of the song quickly became popular in Europe. Now he just needed faces to go along with the music group. He had done the same thing with his s disco-funk group Boney M.
He was able to hang onto that secret for 25 years, according to Shaw. Linda and Jodie were also brought back in for more vocals. Sure enough, soon there was a record deal, so they figured there was a group. But when they got to the studio, it was just Linda, Jodie and another singer, Joan Faulker. Somehow they were able to keep up the facade. They were able to keep a music label rep from traveling to Germany by saying they wanted to retain creative direction.
I respected that and there was no reason to think that it was anything other than that. But there was a lot of fishy business going on.
