Yup, but you mean lip-synched. Definitely a gear grinder of mine when people think artists can pull flawless performances off like that, when in reality the recordings are usually compilations of 30 or 40 takes. Madonna was almost trolling at the recent Super Bowl, she was so blatant about lip synching. Prop-tip on spotting it, watch the throat.

Bob Best, an NFL pre-game entertainment official told USA Today that the NFL chose the recorded version because "we felt there were too many risks to do it live." USA Today reported that it is customary to use pre-recorded versions of the anthem at games, adding that in the past such stars as Diana Ross, Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond have sung to their pre-recorded versions of "The Star Spangled Banner."[68] Best, in an interview with the New York Post, also said that what was played was "protection copy"―it's so-called to protect against the singer's last minute inability to sing―Houston recorded several days before the gameat an L.A. studio.[71] Kathryn Holm McManus, former executive director of the orchestra, in an interview with St. Petersburg Times in 2001, reaffirmed that, saying "At the game, everyone was playing, and Whitney was singing, but there were no live microphones. Everyone was lip-synching or finger-synching."
