Did Shakira Lip Sync on 'The Voice'?
True to its name, The Voice is all about, well, people's actual voices. Which is why some viewers are upset over what they claim is a lip-synced performance from season 6 coach Shakira on Tuesday night's episode.
Watch above to see the world's most famous hipshaker belt out a rendition of her new single "Empire." One of the most memorable parts of the rock ballad is the heavy distortion and reverb added to Shaki's vocals on the hook.
Not only did her lips seems to be moving independently of the singing at certain points, but she sang into the mic during the distorted sections, even though she seemed to be using a regular microphone. Additionally, those distorted sections sounded exactly like the studio version of the track.
