Katy Perry’s lip-sync performance: Awards take blame

Katy Perry’s mouth was moving, but the (correct) words were just not coming out as the pop star performed her hit single at the 15th annual NRJ music awards in Cannes on Saturday. The lip movements and the lyrics were not even close to being in sync - Perry’s mouth was a few full seconds away from the playback, creating an incredibly awkward performance.

On Tuesday, after the video of the incident went viral, the NRJ Awards shouldered the blame: “Katy Perry sang live during the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes on Saturday night, but unfortunately a bad soundtrack was accidentally launched, taking over the live performance of Katy at the beginning of the delivery tube of the Roar,” a statement read, translated from French to English by Google Translate. “TF1 and NRJ present their apologies to Katy Perry ... for this technical problem beyond our control.” Previously, Katy Perry’s reps did not respond to TheWrap’s requests for comment.
