In other news, a rep for Boyz II Men said that a technical glitch was to blame for one of the groupâs songs being played twice during Tuesday nightâs NBC Christmas special and that the group not lip-syncing during its performance. NBCâs broadcast of its annual âChristmas in Rockefeller Centerâ special was presented as a live concert event and included a performance of âThis Christmasâ by Boyz II Men. When that song concluded, Natalie Morales, an anchor of NBCâs âTodayâ show and a co-host of the Christmas special, introduced a performance by the pop singer Charice and the composer and pianist David Foster, who were supposed to be singing âJingle Bell Rock.â Instead, as the cameras cut away to these musicians, the audio of the Boyz II Men rendition of âThis Christmasâ began to play. In an interview with the New York Times, Jo Mignano, a publicist for Boyz II Men, said the accidental replay of âThis Christmasâ was the fault of NBC engineers. âBoyz II Men is the best-selling R&B group of the last 20 years,â Ms. Mignano said. âThey do not lip-sync.â NBC said in a statement: âDuring last nightâs âChristmas in Rockefeller Centerâ special on NBC, a production issue caused some background musical tracks to play out of sequence. The musical acts on stage at the time, Boyz II Men and Charice were performing live. The issue was corrected for the West Coast telecast.â
