COVER.METALNATION.ORG The electrifying performance of Rihanna halfway through Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium in Arizona wasn't appreciated by everyone. It's been accused as the "worst ever" halftime show infraction by social media watchdogs who claim she lip-synced her way through the show.

COVER.METALNATION.ORG In just 13 minutes, Rihanna cycled through a medley of her greatest hits from "Umbrella" to "Work". She announced during the show that she is pregnant with her second child.

COVER.METALNATION.ORG Online fans praised her for making a "powerful statement" for women everywhere. The pop star's impressive rendition of "Umbrella" didn't stop wannabe music critics from criticizing her: Many said she mimed the words rather than singing them live.

COVER.METALNATION.ORG "It's amazing how she can keep singing even when she puts the mic down and doesn't move her lips at all," commented one viewer. The video shows Rihanna lip-syncing to Kanye West's "All of the Lights," in which her lips and lyrics seem to sync about as well as a kung fu movie.

COVER.METALNATION.ORG It's the worst lipsinc (sic) I've ever seen. Lip-syncing should be banned at the Super Bowl, tweeted another detractor. During the lyrics, Rihanna doesn't even have the mic near her mouth. Halftime show is pointless if you don't lip sync."

COVER.METALNATION.ORG In addition to Rihanna, Katy Perry and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have been accused of mouthing their lyrics during Super Bowl halftime performances.
