The Memorial Day performance at the\u00a0Fontainebleau Hotel in\u00a0Las Vegas<\/span>\u00a0had already\u00a0received scathing reviews from viewers<\/span>\u00a0over its lack of star power, minimal on-air awards and some\u00a0questionable kisses from its host, Jennifer Lopez<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But videos circulating on social media further riled up fans, as they suggest performances by Gwen Stefani and her husband Blake Shelton were pretaped for the show, which wasn\u2019t indicated to viewers at home.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019ve been lied to,\u2019 wrote a\u00a0TikTok<\/span>\u00a0user who was apparently at the awards show and filmed Gwen and Blake\u2019s performances from a seat in the balcony.<\/p>\n

Fan videos circulating on social media appeared to show that both performances that were presented as live on the televised broadcast from Las Vegas were actually pre-taped and shown on a screen<\/p>\n

The stage at the Fontainebleau was pictured in the video, but it was dark, and the actual performance from the 55-year-old No Doubt singer was instead projected on the large screen behind the stage.<\/p>\n

People appeared to be swaying and dancing on the stage, but they were turned to the screen to watch the video, rather than performing as part of a number.<\/p>\n

There also appeared to be crew members setting up the stage for the next number while her performance played.<\/p>\n
