   Kid Rock Roasted for Lip Syncing Through TP USA's 'All-American' Super Bowl   
   Halftime Show: 'More Egregious Than Ashlee Simpson'   
      
   Kid Rock faced criticism for lip syncing during Turning Point USA's "All-   
   American" halftime show on Super Bowl Sunday.

   He stormed the stage yelling "My name is KIDDDDD ROCKKKKKK" — but some   
   viewers joked Kid Rock looked more like Ashlee Simpson and Milli Vanilli   
   because of his "horrible" lip syncing during Turning Point USA's "All-   
   American" halftime show on Super Bowl Sunday.   
      
   The veteran rocker/rapper/country crooner was the headliner and last   
   performer of the event, and he hit the stage with plenty of energy. He   
   launched into his 1998 hit "Bawitdaba, " but the wheels came off from   
   there, with close-up camera shots making it obvious that Kid Rock was lip   
   syncing his way through most of the song. And having a difficult time   
   keeping the facade going.   
      
   There were plenty of shots of Kid Rock's voice blaring as fans cheered from   
   both sides of the stage — the only problem being his mouth wasn't moving.   
      
   He rocked around and ripped his black bowler hat off to keep it as high-   
   octane as possible, while flames shot up around the stage. And behind him   
   was the American flag adorned with his name flashing in yellow lights.   
      
   But that didn't stop a number of people from noticing the obvious lip   
   syncing — or running to X and posting about it.   
      
   "Kid Rock's lip syncing is even more egregious than Ashlee Simpson and   
   Millie Vanilli, " one user posted.   
      
   Here's a taste of some other users who called it out:   
      
   So that didn't go great.   
      
      
   And there were some nice moments, including multiple shout-outs to TP USA   
   founder Charlie Kirk.   
      
   "Well, Charlie gave people microphones so they could say what's on their   
   mind, " country Lee Brice said before launching into a touching number.   
   "This is what's on mine. "   
      
   The show kicked off with an electric guitar performance of the Star   
   Spangled Banner and quickly went into performances from Brantley Gilbert   
   and Gabby Barrett, which both seemed to go smoothly.
