Ok. I've never really been against pre-recorded tracks for live performances as long as there was dancing involved. Even then, I think the artist should still sing some parts.
Beyonce has been known to use pre-recorded vocals for some of her more energetic performances, but they are usually seamless and you can't tell the difference between her and the track. As for ballads, we know she has the power to sound just like she does in the studio. I guess her nerves got the best of her this time. The NY Post has confirmed that Beyonce did use pre-recorded vocals for her 2013 Inauguration performance.
Beyonce Knowle’s flawless performance of “The Star Spangled Banner” at the inauguration was entirely lip-synched, Page Six has confirmed. A rep for the United States Marine Band revealed that she decided to perform to a pre-recorded track at the last minute.
“All music is pre-recorded for the ceremony because there are so many eventualities and conditions that day,” Kristin DuBois, a rep for the band tells Page Six. “We performed, live, the band. But we received last-minute word that Beyonce was going to use the pre-recorded vocal track. Those were the instructions we were given. We don’t know what the reason why.”
The news will surely shock those who watched the emotional performance. At one point, Beyonce even dramatically removed her earpiece – which now seems even more ludicrous, as she wasn’t even making any noise.
That last paragraph.

ReplyDeleteNo, what was good about Beyonce's performance if she didn't even sing? Oh yeah, nothing.
DeleteOMG thats why she looked so nervous. Ive never seen beyonce that nevous before she sings.
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious. Dying.
ReplyDeleteThis is stupid and false. People always do this to Beyonce. First it was the fake pregnancy rumours and now this? Shout your sinky mouths and Just accept that shes P E R F E C T.
ReplyDeleteThe fake pregnancy rumours are bull.
DeleteBut this is not the first time she lip-sync's.
What difference does it make, she sounded great! Whitney did the same thing back in the days when her version became a single, it wasn't live either- that does not negate the fact they both sounded amazing! What's with the negativity and the desire for a bad connotations!
DeleteAnd kelly did she Lip-Sync?
ReplyDeleteNope. Not according to TMZ
DeleteThis is buuuuuuuullshit! Smh @ the people who made up this SHIT! Jealously comes in the most desperate ways. You know Beyonce SANG that LIVE. Just let the woman be perfect.
ReplyDeleteexcept, she DIDN'T. it's even confirmed by legit sources lol
Deletejust accept she lip sync for no good [apparent] reason and move on..
No one's perfect, not even your precious Beyoncé! And all you delusional children will deal.
ReplyDeleteI guess her career is OVER now. The 5th album will be scrapped and everything will leak.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere over the country, Keri Hilson laughs at these news.
