But it's not just kids anymore.
Whitney Houston was so highly praised for her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner before the 1991 Super Bowl that it was practically a scandal when it was revealed that both she and the orchestra were synching to a studio recording made the day before. And when Beyonce Knowles pulled out her earpiece during her rendition at President Obama's first inauguration, she had to cop to lip synching to a pre-recorded vocal and accompaniment, too.
