Kid Rock faced backlash for allegedly lip-syncing during his Turning Point USA halftime show, conducted to counter Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance. Many noticed that a prerecorded version of one of his songs appeared to be playing. In fact, his lip movements didn’t seem to match the audio. Fans immediately took to social media to share their reactions. Many criticized him for what they believed was a lip-sync performance.
Kid Rock trolled over TPUSA halftime show
Kid Rock performed at the Turning Point USA Halftime show, which sparked massive discussion on the internet, with many believing that he didn’t sing but lip-synced throughout the performance. Alluding to his performance of the 1999 hit “Bawitdaba” at the halftime show, many believed that a prerecorded version was playing in the background. They speculated this as they heard background music playing when he distanced his mic away from his mouth. Moreover, some also noted that his audio and lip movements didn’t match.
A fan wrote, “I’m sorry this cannot be real.” Another one added, “Yeah, its clear he was lip singing, awful, I expected more from Kid Rock.” “Is he lip-syncing? He keeps lowering the microphone, but the volume of the voice never changes. I don’t even think his lips are moving part of the time,” another one jotted their observation in a tweet. A fourth one said, “He’s not even singing.”
Kid Rock recently also shared his thoughts on Bad Bunny’s Spanish performance at Super Bowl 60. It was during an appearance on Fox News’ “The Ingrahm Angle.” He revealed that he didn’t understand his music, like most of the people, due to the language barrier. He further added, “I saw there’s a lot of dancers and a lot of big to-do stuff. And, you know, he said he wanted to have a dance party; it looked like he had one.”
Further sharing his stance on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl gig, he continued, “Not my cup of tea, but I don’t fault that kid for doing the Super Bowl, getting in front of a global audience. I fault the NFL for putting him in that position and Turning Point for having to come out and have an alternative for people to watch. You know, it’s just — poor kid”(via The Wrap).
