Some more research in the matter has pointed out that some performers choose to sing live, but most lip-synch at the request of the show producers. Gwen Stefani was the only one last year who chose to sing live.

Most artists and the producers feel it is just easier to lip-synch. Getting the audio feeds from a live microphone in a stadium is a nightmare. There could be feedback, the mic could go out of range and many other problems can present themselves.

I'm sure you've seen and heard the problems they've had with the ref's microphone.

I played in my high school's marching band and we played the halftime of the Cherry Bowl in the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan. There was at least a 5-second delay from the field. It made it very difficult to hear what was going on.
