[edit] Controversy

On March 23, 2007 it was reported that Aguilera was caught lip-syncing her show at Madison Square Garden in New York City. According to her manager Irving Azoff they were experiencing technical problems with the sound on the night, however he neither confirmed or denied the lip-syncing allegations. Fans were supposedly infuriated at the possibility of Aguilera miming to pre-recorded tracks. Despite this bad press, the tour has so far received rave reviews.[2]
