Country Star Caught Lip-Syncing During Macy’s Parade Performance

Nov. 25, 2011 9:53am Jonathon M. Seidl

Yesterday was not a good day for young country stars who got their start on “American Idol.” Just hours before Idol runner-up Lauren Alaina flubbed the National Anthem before the Packers-Lions game, Idol winner and fellow country star Scotty McCreery was caught lip-syncing during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

To be fair, McCreery wasn’t the only one who did it. If you watched (like my wife and I did) you would have found several examples. However, McCreery’s stands out because it was so obvious: he missed a cue and you could hear his voice for almost two seconds before he even brought the microphone up to his lips:

“Yes, everyone I saw yesterday at the parade was lip-syncing so that’s not the issue,” writes Rodney Ho of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “He just missed the first three words of his song so he made it really obvious.”

If this is the kind of “story” you’re going to run on the Blaze, then I’m going to stop coming to read stories here.

  Tarabi, what kind of “stories” are you looking for in the Entertainment section of The Blaze? If not interested in entertainment news, don’t read the entertainment section.

  Tirabi is a troll who made the account today. This is the only post on the account. It’s probably Your Sensei or Encinom or one of the other everyday trolls. They say the same things all the time… The Blaze doesn’t attack “such’n'such” because they want “such’n'such” elected… The Blaze focuses too much on “such’n'such” … The Blaze doesn’t focus enough on “such’n'such”…
  In the end, the trolls come back and spend hours each day continuing to post stupid comments while threatening to never come back. Good! Don’t come back, Encinom, Your Sensei, JZS or whichever troll you are. Go read some Liberal blog site that has been proven to lie repeatedly, like Huffpo.

  I agree, this is a non story. It was a parade. Everything is probably prerecorded. So? Its a parade. You don’t have LIVE performances of music on a FLOAT for crying out loud.

  I agree. This story is a waste of my reading. I thought “THEBLAZE” was going to be an innovative news organization. But it seems most of it is regurgitated blather that the MSM is already doing. :: YAWN ::

  Even in entertainment it’s a non-story, because the whole thing is lip-synched and has been for years. Everyone knows it, so why is it a story if a couple of guys have trouble matching their mouths to the music?

Why is this news? The lip-syncing in the parade has been going on for decades. And what importance does it have on anything?

  it was funny because i seen this happen live, and not long before it i was thinking how do they keep their voice consistent when it is cold, and you can tell they want to shiver. Then that happened, then i started paying attention to them all…some were convincing but some were not. There was one where these girls were jumping all around the float singing, and there was no way they could do all that moving, and still sound like a record recording….lol…
  
  my guess is they do it normally because of the weather.

No surprise here. I am waiting for the time when GOPTP senators and/or congressmen get caught lip-syncing. For example, when John ***** or Paul Ryan or any of the other “performers” are giving a speech and instead of their voice it is the voice of Grover Norquist (the commie anarchist who hates the US Constitution) or the voice of one of the Koch brothers comes out in its stead! For, as we all know, these GOPTP douchebags actually are worshiping at the altar of these men in the name of Greed rather than protecting and serving our Constitution and their constituents!

That staged stuff that they do in front of Macy’s is crap anyhow and we hate it. Frankly, we assumed that all of it was lip-synched, pre-recorded, enhanced, etc. So this is about as surprising as finding out that Barack Hussein Obama is a radical leftist.

To the networks (especially NBC): your parade coverage is insufferable! This staged garbage isn’t entertaining – it’s just lame. Just show the damn parade! THAT is all we want to see.

This kind of stuff is why we switched to WGN to watch the parade in Chicago.

This isn’t news, and neither is Lauren’s misstep singing the National Anthem (she recovered and finished well.) Neither ruined my day, as they apparantly did to Seidl.

Now, the chaos going on during “I really need this stuff, and I don’t care who I hurt to get it” black Friday is newsworthy, and sad.

  Lauren? You mean that random girl in Detroit that nobody in the room had ever heard of? The one who flubbed the Anthem? Yeah, we felt sorry for her. Thought that she was just some girl that they picked at random.

  Yep, and they would be the only ones trying to sing, and thus, we would find out why they originally lip-synced. :-)

Thanks to Scott Bker for getting us the important stories of the day. How about covering this?
I spent Thanksgiving watching riots in Portugal on RTP. 3 million on strike. 3 Molotov cocktails through bank windows. The world is preoccupied with the financial crisis and not paying attention to the Iranian threat.

They have always lip-synched that parade! It is easy to tell the difference between a studio recording and a live outdoor recording because there is no background noise in a studio recording and there is a big difference in the tone as a result of the acoustics of a recording studio verses the acoustics of a city street.

But we are just a bunch of rubes out here in flyover country so we won’t know the difference.

I don’t blame him. Trying to sing all through that parade would have had his voice down to a forced whisper before it was over.

So what?! That platform he’s on probably stops 30 times during the parade and he “sings” every time. It’s his voice, it’s his recording. Geez…get over it.
