Cher accused of lip-syncing AGAIN as SNL performance leaves fans shrieking with laughter

Cher is once again facing lip-syncing accusations for her performance on Saturday Night Live this weekend.

The 79-year-old actor was the show’s musical guest for the first time since his debut in 1987, but has appeared in numerous cameo roles along the way.

But her triumphant return was overshadowed from the moment she took the stage to cover her 2023 single DJ Play a Christmas Song.

When he opened his mouth, the sound reverberating through the studio had been digitally altered so heavily that fans shook with laughter.

One praised former Twitter user camp is BACK!’

‘The lip sync is iconic. We love you Cher, while a third snickered: ‘Quick, someone take a lip sync lesson.’

Another grumbled: ‘cher doesn’t even hide that lip sync’, while another wrote of her shiny silver mic: ‘cher’s mic is on everything except ………. severe.’

One fan gushed: ‘idc Cher can do anything she wants and she’s amazing’, while another wrote: ‘Cher is literally the only one who can get away with lip syncing.’

After his performance of Play a Christmas Song sent the audience into a frenzy, the DJ returned to the stage to sing the 1950s Chuck Berry classic Run Run Rudolph.

Both numbers appeared on her 2023 album Christmas, which was her first Christmas album and featured a mix of original material and seasonal standards.

Cher was accused of lip-syncing at the famous Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York two years ago, where she also sang DJ Play a Christmas Carol.

Many viewers quickly jumped on social media and claimed they could tell Cher was merely miming the single’s lyrics.

Some eagle-eyed observers pointed out a moment when he moved the microphone away from his face but his voice remained unaffected.

Meanwhile, some Cher fans came to her defense, claiming that lip syncing was the rule at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

‘They’re each lip-syncing for the parade,’ wrote one user of former Twitter user X. ‘Cher’s outfit and overall Cher-ness overshadows the lip-syncing.’

“I was surprised by Cher lip syncing at the parade,” one X user sarcastically wrote. ‘I am appalled by this statement. What’s next, you’re going to tell me pro wrestling is scripted???’

In 1991, Cher came under fierce controversy for lip-syncing during a supposed live performance on ABC’s In Concert to promote her album Love Hurts.

The practice was a particularly thorny issue at that stage, as the infamous Milli Vanilli lip-syncing scandal had broken a year earlier and the R&B duo had been revealed to be imitating other singers’ voices in live concerts.
