Rascal Flatts Lip-Sync at ACM Awards [VIDEO]

Rascal Flatts is taking heat for their lip-sync performance on the ACMs.  Gary Levox lost his voice a few days before the show.  So Rascal Flatts made a decision to appear and lip-sync instead of cancelling their appearance.  According to the band they had never attempted to lip-sync before...and it showed.

Given that the ACMs are one of the highest rated shows of the year (over 14 million viewers this year) I think they made the right decision.  The exposure is very good for their career.   However, they need to practice their lip-syncing.  You can see the performance in the video below.

What do you think?  Did they make the right decision?  Do you care?
