Today Rita "performed" her song Let You Love Me on the Krazy Glue float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Her lip-syncing was noticeably off and widely criticized.
John defended his fellow legend on twitter by explaining that everyone had to lip-sync their performance at the parade. They both made tweets promised that all of their shows are 100% live.
Fun fact @johnlegend thank you for clarifying what I was about to also tweet. It’s annoying for us but anyway! All my shows are 100 percent live always have been! When you come to a ORA show get ready! Back to holidays! Have a good one guys! :) X https://t.co/pO5hnnQgvg

Macy's said the technical issues were outside of the artists' control.
During today’s NBC broadcast of the #MacysParade several recording artists experienced technical difficulties that negatively impacted their performance. We apologize and want fans to know these issues were out of the artist’s control.
