14 DAY TRIAL // Shakira was a smoldering presence on the stage of the 2014 Billboard Music Awards last night. Rocking her post-baby body, the singer came to the stage to give a raunchy performance of her latest single “Empire,” but fans weren't wooed by her long legs and tight waistline enough to miss the fact that she lip synced the song, and badly too.
The 37-year-old singer came to the stage in a gold dress that emphasized her legs and slender waist and she immediately tore into the rock-ballad “Empire.”
As she began whipping her hair while holding on to the microphone stand and seemed to be belting the high notes, members in the audience and in front of TV screens quickly noticed that there was a slight delay between the sound coming out of the speakers and the movement of her lips.
It only took minutes for fans to get on Twitter and taunt her endlessly for her poor performance. Soon after, the topic was trending on the social media website, becoming more and more evident to the world.
Funny jabs from users included lines like “I can lipsync this song better than Shakira and I've never even heard it” or “Why [does] Shakira look like she's in a bad kung fu movie???” Another witty commenter pointed out that “Shakira's hips might not lie but her lips do!”
It's not known why Shakira chose to lip sync her song during the Billboard Awards, but now she's catching hell from fans, who didn't fail to notice that she is part of the jury on a TV talent show called “The Voice,” making this very ironical.
