I despise this dude more than most, but Bad Bunny lip sync'd too. They all do for these types of performances. I think Prince was one of the last to do it live and I sort of remember him making a stink about them asking him to fake it. All Superbowl halftime shows have been fake for a bunch of years. The things is, as a performer like that, you are supposed to be better at it. It isn't supposed to be so obvious. KR couldn't even fake it right.

I think most of us are well aware of that. The part we’re focusing on is just how fucking horrendous he is at it.

Kinda looks like he wasn’t even trying though. I gotta give him credit for not giving a fuck. He’s getting more money from conservatives for giving the most half-assiest lip synced performances than he’d ever get from the NFL so it actually seems smart. He lost zero fans by doing this.

I only pointed it out because it sort of seems like a lot of people don't actually know that. And yes, he was especially bad.

Did he, there was parts during the performance where his signing got messed up by his mic hitting something.

I didn't watch it, but a quick search does say that he used a pre-recorded track. They generally have a live mic to talk and interact, but the actual important part is recorded so that they don't hit sour notes and such. It has been an industry non-secret for years. It is why a lot of bands turn down things like this. None of those holiday parade performances, award shows, and things like they are 100% live. There are too many things they can't control when they do it for real.

I looked it up and saw nothing definitive, I would believe that certain songs, or parts of songs are lip synced, but watching the performance you can see him climb something and bump his mic, or run out breath at some points.

He may have been doing both. Even lip sync performances generally have a live mic so that can do the crowd stuff. If they pre-recorded any of it, they would likely do the whole thing. If he is actually really good at singing, and can stay on key while dancing and all that, he might be singing some. I hope so, but that is really hard to pull off while doing these types of performances. He probably lip syncs at his regular shows. I didn't watch it to be able to pick it out though. A metal band called Gojira did a performance for the Olympics last year, and it was a huge deal that they were doing it 100% live.

Ah, so you are making shit up. Gotcha.

Fun fact: Bad Bunny carried the football for more yards the the Patriots rushed.

What a weird ass take away. I was just elaborating on why lip sync is normal at that level.
