I was a huge Beatles/McCartney fan in my youth. I enjoyed the halftime show a lot, and was impressed with him. But...
It looked to me on several occasions like he was lip-synching. A few times, his mouth would make a "whoo" sound that wasn't picked up by the mic. A few times his lips were moving a little out of synch with the sound. It was a studio quality performance. The close-ups of his face were very rare.
In the paper the next day, Tom Shales, the TV critic for the Washington Post also wrote that he thought McCartney was lip-synching. I'm not saying lip-synching is bad, and McCartney has clearly proven his skill in the past.
