Beyonce Lip Synchs at Inauguration

Sad...music of this generation....well I guess it's easier to look better this way.
I guess little old Kelly Clarkson wins this competition. ;)

That's right, the stunning rendition was in fact a prerecorded version of the song. So that dramatic moment in which Beyoncé removed her earpiece mid-song? Not so dramatic, after all.

.Darren Criss’ Inaugural Performance NervesGwyneth Paltrow’s New TattooJennifer Lopez Rocks A Teeny Bikini."We don't know why Beyoncé decided to use prerecorded music," a spokesperson for the Marine Corps Band said in a statement this morning, first obtained by the London Times.

"All music is prerecorded as a matter of course, and that's something we've done for years and years. The Marine Band did perform live throughout the ceremony, but we received last-minute word that Beyoncé wanted to use the recording."
The last-minute decision makes more sense than some grander conspiracy, as over the weekend, B even tweeted out photos of her in the recording studio practicing for the performance.
Oops.

You must have gotten so excited/disgusted that you were pressing the "enter"  button without realizing it.  I once leaned over my keyboard and did the same thing..... my post of a few words was horribly long........ LOL

I read some of those comments and even though I'm not a Obama fan, I can't imagine how people could even think things like that, let alone have the guts to post them online.  Once in cyberspace, always in cyberspace.

"I haven't the energy to hate people I don't know and especially for their skin color."   Absolutely agree.

"If I had to make a list I'm sure I could come up with a whole bunch of white folks"   Me too......

This is the kind of story that is being palmed off as news.  How absurd!

Absolutely... I haven't the energy to hate people I don't know and especially for their skin color.  I've got a healthy dislike for people I know personally and that is enough to keep me busy.

It really freaks me out. I wouldn't want to kill anybody if I could help it let alone for their color of their skin. If I had to make a list I'm sure I could come up with a whole bunch of white folks ;0

I always appreciate when the performer really sings rather than lip syncs.  I just do.  I know many greats have lip synced but just like to know that everything is authentic about the performance.  

Oh well.  She was lip syncing to her own tracks verses pulling a Milli Vanilli.

PS the Ihate americans


















































































PS I love how those ihateobama twits come on to support our general opinions with their absolute stupidity.  It's just a shame that others might agree with the 15 year backwoods hicks.

And they say Chuck Schumer (great, caring Senator) and Bill Clinton (best President ever so far in my opinion) looked stupid being excited and happy to see the girls entertain and to be there on such an historical day.  Only in America folks.

True and true again!

I think it's like a game of where's Waldo - everyone else looks SO SO SO Happy and there are two mean cold stonefaces....really classless.

"....Just days after Super Bowl XXV, a report surfaced that Whitney Houston lip synced her performance. It was confirmed that she was actually singing into a dead mic, but the performance heard in the stadium and on television was prerecorded.[1][2] The disclosure, however, did not tarnish the performance's critical praise....."

I used to get so worked up over those idiot comments until someone pointed out-"these are America's bottom feeders, don't even bother with them"

Now Beyonce could be mute and it would be worthwhile..she is gorgeous!!
Anyway who can sing in freezing weather? I don't mind that she lipped synced-it's not like the recorded voice was not her own.
But it does explain the stone faces standing behind her. Did you *see* those guys? Like they were at a funeral.
