Hope y’all enjoyed it anyway," Legend tweeted in defense of Ora ahead of his own performance.
“Know that if you come to my shows, the vocals are 100% live!”
Cold weather is also a concern as it can damage vocal cords.
As Kelly Clarksonnotedafter her performance at the parade, it was “a very cold Thanksgiving moment.”
Clarkson, however, wasn’t on a typical float.
A rep for the singer did not immediately respond to EW’s request for clarification.
Ora’s lip-syncing wasn’t necessarily worthy of theDrag Racestage, being that she missed her cue.
But singer-actress Simonna tweeted, “We all know that Rita Ora can sing!
Don’t be so quick to judge!
Macy’s even apologized for the glitches in a statement released on social media.
“We apologize and want fans to know these issues were out of the artist’s control.”
