American Idol's Scotty McCreery left red-faced after lip-synching error

The 2011 American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery, was left red-faced at a public event yesterday after he was shown to be lip-synching to his single 'The Trouble With Girls'. 

The talented singer took part in the 85th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City and was due to perform his track to the crowd when he missed his cue and the pre-recorded vocals kicked in before he was ready. 

The lyrics began and McCreery was still holding the microphone at his side, but quickly began miming along to the song and continued like a true professional. 

You can watch the awkward moment, along with his recent interview at K102 radio, below:
