It is being told that the National Anthem Beyonce sang with the accompaniment of the Marine Band were recorded the day before. In other words, she and the Band faked it at the ceremony. Do you feel that this strife for perfectionism is going to far? James Taylor and Kelly Clarkson had no problem doing their performances live! I give both of them more respect than Beyonce now that I know the facts. What say you?
 
I never had much respect for Beyonce to begin with -- but it doesn't change anything for me.

Many of these large events, like the inaugural, Superbowl, etc. are lip synced. You never know what the weather will be at these events, and you don't want to screw up when 10s of millions of people are watching you. Some people don't function well in the cold -- I would be one of them -- if it's below 60 degrees, I can't even finger a chord on my guitar.

So, I have no problem with it.

The best Anthem performance in recent history was also lipsinked and no one seamed to mind.

The other possibility is she sang live locally, but the broadcasts used pre-recorded singing "just to be sure". That would normally mean the singer heard the pre-recorded music in-ear and the conductor as well.
 
What is this world coming to eh! Next time I do a Gig I will put it on Automix and pretend I am selcting and mixing the songs! Oh wait! Someone here already does that....Rick! :BangHead:

hehehe...

Actually I don't use AutoMix, except when I am at home doing the dishes or laundry -- or if I have to do some cocktail hour or dinner thing.

Well, look at it this way....

Rick developed the software, so he can use it as he sees fit.
Beyonce actually SANG the song on the tape, so she's using it as SHE sees fit.

If Beyonce wrote her own songs, played an instrument, and did more at a concert than just dance...
I would have expected her to do it live at the inauguration.
