Kanye Taped Idol Performance Before Show Went Live


After his appearance on "American Idol," the Web is predictably buzzing with opinions about Kanye West's performance of his song "Heartless" on the show.

It may come as a shock to some of Kanye West's most fervent devotees, but his "American Idol" performance was taped last night before the show went live.

Chatter about West's off-key singing (despite his use of the auto-tune voice effect), and speculation about whether he resorted to lip-syncing in parts of his performance are among the topics of conversation surrounding the polarizing hip hop icon today.

Rolling Stone today asked a fair question about Kanye's performance -- "How can a show devoted to the art of singing welcome West's off-key Auto Tuned warbling?"

What did you think of Kanye's performance? He was accused of lip-syncing during a recent appearance on "Saturday Night Live," but do you think he faked it last night on "Idol"? And does it matter?

Do you care if Kanye lip-synched or not?
