While everyone who’s watched the parade into adulthood knows that popular singers are just mouthing the words to their songs over a soundtrack, the idea is to make it look like it’s a real, live performance. In the World of Twitter and text, any performance that looks fake is called out by the universe.
That’s what happened to Scotty McCreery few moments ago at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Twitter was all over him for missing the lip-sync to his own song. Here’s a sample of the tweets:

If Scott McCreery isn’t lip-syncing, i’m blind. What a sham. #Macy’s #ThanksgivingParade@CarlyVanCucha Carly VanCucha

Such a shame, watching the Macy’s Parade and Scott McCreery was lip syncing and badly!! Such a shame.
Stay tuned and Happy Thanksgiving!
