American Idol season 10 winner Scotty McCreery appeared at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday to promote his new single, “The Trouble with Girls.” The trouble with the performance? McCreery was neither moving his lips nor holding the microphone anywhere near his mouth when the song (along with his pre-recorded vocal track) began.

Of course, McCreery isn’t the only singer ever to lip-sync his way through a parade performance – poor acoustics and a huge amount of ambient noise make a solid vocal performance nearly impossible – but there’s something about seeing a guy who won a national singing competition fake his way through a 3-minute set that’s really disappointing (and hilarious).
