'American Idol': Yep, the group performances are lip-synched. But WHY?

This just in from yesterday's New York Times: Those thoroughly abysmal group numbers that American Idol's season 8 contestants lamely bravely soldier through every results night? They're lip-synched. Er, pre-recorded.
Of course, astute (and deliciously good-looking) EW.com readers have been pointing out that fact on our message boards for weeks. And as I asked in my March 12 TV Watch recap about the elimination of Jorge Nuñez: "If he hadn't been the lowest vote-getter, could the producers have eliminated him just for his total lack of lip-synching skills?" (Remember how Jorge's lips seemed to be moving to an entirely different song during that bunk Michael Jackson medley?)
