Jennifer Hudson Lip Synched the National Anthem
Cool or uncool?
News reported that she was asked to record it ahead of time by Randy Minor ( prodiucer from Amer. Idol) who claimed that there were " too many variables" to not lip synch it.
What are your feeling on this?
IMO- not cool. Our national anthem is not an easy one to sing but I feel it should alway sbe done live and in the spirit of the event its being sung at.
If it was Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson- they would have been slammed all over tv for doing that- why is it ok for Jennifer Hudson to do it?

Re: Jennifer Hudson Lip Synched the National Anthem
The performances prior to hers were lip synched as well.
ETA: I was disappointed to hear this. It's not her fault, it's what the producer made them do, but I don't think it's right.

Re: Jennifer Hudson Lip Synched the National Anthem
It's the National Anthem not a pop song with a bunch of dancing. So not cool to lip synch it!
The worst part is that it was obvious on HDTV with surround sound. She missed the start of " the bombs bursting in air..." she started moving her lips on "bombs".

Re: Jennifer Hudson Lip Synched the National Anthem
The NFL "requires" them to pre record the National Anthem....everyone who has sung it at the superbowl has had it pre-recorded and lip sing it

I've heard the same thing...
Honestly, it wasn't her fault, so it's not something that can be held against her. Regardless of when it was recorded, it was still great and I still got goosebumps.

Re: Jennifer Hudson Lip Synched the National Anthem
To be honest, it's such an emotional song and considering what she has been through, I think she would have broken down had she sung it live.

this is exactly what I was thinking.....I was choking up for her while I watched it, just thinking of what she's been through. I thought she did a great job, pre-recorded or not.

Re: Jennifer Hudson Lip Synched the National Anthem
It was still her singing it, so I don't think it really matters. It's not like she's Milli Vanilli skipping on a track.

Re: Jennifer Hudson Lip Synched the National Anthem
No biggie. She sounded great.
That's the way it's done. There are way too many things that can go wrong. One audio glitch and the whole thing could be ruined. One flying phlegm ball in her throat and everyone would think she did a subpar performance.
Either way, someone would have something to say about it.
Aretha sang live at the inauguration and she was deeply upset by her performance...to cold to sing..etc..it's a fact. It's a human voice and there are too many variables.
It's a giant event..you're out there all by yourself..even the most seasoned pro could mess it up.

Re: Jennifer Hudson Lip Synched the National Anthem
That's interesting. I didn't know it was pre-recorded every year. My mom mentioned that in Vegas, you could place bets on how long it would take her to sing the anthem. I wonder how fair that is considering it's pre-recorded.

Precisely!
I'd much rather have a beautiful performance pre-recorded than listen to a live version butchered.
I couldn't care less that it was lip synched. I don't see the big deal at all. I sure don't see how it is in some way disrespectful.
