The singer, 25, was seen fumbling with his earpiece as he sang half a beat behind in his ballad \u201cOrdinary\u201d <\/a>during Sunday\u2019s ceremony in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n He quickly recovered and regained his pace during the song\u2019s climactic chorus<\/a>, which saw him lifted over the crowd on a mechanical stage. However, Warren was seen letting his in-ear device, which helps performers hear themselves over loud stage noise, fall as he sang.<\/p>\n The singer later addressed the incident on TikTok, saying, \u201cThis would only happen to me.\u201d<\/p>\n An echoey sound mix of \u201cOrdinary\u201d played behind Warren\u2019s video to show how his earpiece\u2019s jumbled sound output had confused the singer during the performance. Over a clip of Warren putting his head in his hands, he wrote: \u201cwhen you\u2019re performing at the Grammys and all you hear is this in your ears…\u201d<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Alex Warren explained what happened during his Grammys performance on TikTok (alexwarren\/TikTok) open image in gallery<\/p>\n The singer was noticeably a beat behind during the performance that saw him lifted over the crowd (Getty)<\/p>\n Fans shared their support for Warren in the comments of the post, with one TikTok user writing: \u201cYOU RECOVERED SO WELL THOUGH HARDLY NOTICEABLE.\u201d<\/p>\n YouTuber Trisha Paytas commented on the video: \u201cYou actually crushed it tho !!!!!!!\u201d<\/p>\n Warren reposted the video on Instagram, where Friends star Courtney Cox commented, \u201cYou are sooooo f\u2019ing talented Alex!
