But apparently it is completely normal.

On Thursday, Twitter users called out Ora, 27, for lip syncing during her performance at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Performing her hit “Let You Love Me,” she seemed to have missed her cue by less than a minute.

Luckily for Ora, fellow singer John Legend came to her defense.

Taking to Twitter, he explained, “Fun fact. We all have to lip sync on this parade because the floats don’t have the capacity to handle the sound requirements for a live performance.”

“Hope y’all enjoyed it anyway,” he added. “Know that if you come to my shows, the vocals are 100% live!”

Ora quickly responded to Legend saying,“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!” she continued.
