Page Six is reporting that a rep for the United States Marine Band has confirmed that Beyoncé lip-synched the National Anthem at President Obama's inauguration on Monday.
“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 confirmation comes just hours after the Washingtonian published a piece posing the question in response to a picture that Queen Bey posted of herself and members of the Marine Corps Band in a recording studio.
So what? Obama has been faking being a real president for 4 years now....seems appropriate she would fake it actually.— kelprod2-freemarket- ZZZZZING!!
— thegamepa - I take it your freemarket account finally got banned for racism...?
Or are you just having an identity crisis today?— daxtremesolja - Obama's entire Administration is a lie why should the entertainment be any different?
lol!!!— Professor1982 - ha ha kelprod, stiil hating.what a sore loser and what a loser— antmry312
- Four legs good, two legs baaaaadddd.
Obama sheeple all lined up I see!— Professor1982 - Hey Prof, I choked on my beer when I read your response. I just finished re-reading Animal Farm (for the third time since high school) this morning. Great post. Perfect timing. — Theophilus Antipas
- Auto tune doesn`t work well in those conditions.Another less talented but good looking person.Beyonce is a fraud!— dtowndestroyer
- Well, lets see. She lip synced her own rendition? Did you watch it? it was incredible! If she lip synced it, it was the best lip-sync i've ever seen, especially considering the music started first and somebody was miraculously successful in starting the recording right on the beat. — joeibt
- Probably does the same on her tour. If you see a performer with a mic attached to their head and they're leading a crew of choreographed dancers, you can bet on 'em lip-synching.— andrew69
- thats so cheap and tacky ...... ugh ....— rudyhuxtable
- 2 points to kelprod for the take down.— 2ndNlong
- Yeh. I remember hearing it and commenting to self how "tight" that whole arrangement was with her standing quite a distance from the band and still hitting some of the very critical syncopations dead on. Still a moving rendition of a difficult song to make sound lively.— glemery
- Very observant!
Then again National Anthems don't exist as vehicles for "entertainment".
They're supposed to be sung by the crowd - the sports fans, the audience at a gathering or a bunch of school kids.
There's a kind of mini thrill at an Eagles game when the fans spontaneously break into "Fly Eagles, Fly" - it actually sounds good.
Imagine if they let that same crowd sing the National Anthem accompanied by a school or local marching band (like they used to)
When The Superdome reopened after Katrina a band from LSU (I think) played the National Anthem and both teams along with all the fans sang their hearts out that day - not a dry eye in the place.
