'Shake It Off' and Sing: The Best Lip Dubs of 2014
See which of the songs you were humming all year turned out to be lip sync sensations
Love watching The Voice and American Idol, but can’t hit the high notes? Don’t fret, the Internet has a place for you.
Lip dubs allow performers to belt it to their favorite songs without ever straining their vocal cords, which means more room for choreography.
Each year brings dozens of new lip dubs, and 2014 was no different. From Taylor Swift to Frozen, frat houses, high schools and daddy-daughter duos all tried to create the perfect lip-sync video.
Here are our choices for this year’s best mouth movers and booty shakers. Now, turn it up and sing along – or not.
We think even the haters would have trouble finding anything to hate about this near-perfect dude rendition of Swift’s hit.
In a time when everyone was making Frozen videos, this daddy-daughter duo dared to be different.
