There was NO lip synching there. The sound you heard was the background singers singing…Duhhhh! The version that was recorded wasn’t ANYTHING like that.

For those who think it was echo or reverb – that note lasts nearly 6 seconds after she stops singing – no electronics can do that without being noticed. It was clearly lip synched. Any audio technician will tell you that – I am one. That doesn’t take anything away from her to admit it – she did a great job in the competition. Lip syching is very common in TV. Still don’t believe it? You try to make an Ooh sound when you are smiling like her – it’s physically impossible! The sound should be Eeee with that smile.

It’s not lip synching… You can see that when she closes her mouth to smile, the note is not as full as it once was and the note becomes more nasally… You can still smile and have sound coming out

That’s not lip synching. Just because she smiles does not mean she can’t finish off her note. They get paid to smile and sing a the same time. It’s their whole life.

Oh bullsh!t if you could not see that girl was lip synching you are blind as a bat. That was no reverb, as much as you want to believe that.

no lypsynching there either in my opinion. you can still smile and have sound coming out. it was such a bad version anyway that there is no way anyone would sing that bad in a recorded version. she did it so much better last night. tonights version showed her saddness, disappointment and nerves. it was real.

Nope, no lipsynching there. What you heard was reverb or echo for a couple of seconds after her last note, due to the acoustics of the venue. And neither of the Davids’ sang tonight.
