The first ever FIFA World Cup half-time show featured plenty of glitz and glamour, but fans were still left fuming as they accused pop superstars Madonna and Shakira of lip syncing during their songs at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday.
According to British tabloid The Sun, one viewer said: “Madonna’s World Cup half-time performance appears to be pre-recorded in a studio.” Another chimed in saying: “Glad I’m not the only one who feels it is pre-recorded.”
