I hate hearing any type of slander against Beyonce, but she should’ve seen it coming.. can’t really lip sync without the truth coming out, eventually. This might not exactly be slander but some others could take it as a slap in the face for being insulted by a legendary diva! This diva couldn’t hold back her criticism and just flat out said she cracked up when she heard the news that Beyonce pre-recorded her Star Spangled Banner performance at President Obama’s inauguration ceremony. The famous singer that criticized Beyonce performed at Obama’s first inauguration ceremony back in 2009, so she knows what it’s like to be under that type of pressure (and it isn’t like it’s some amateur taking shots at Bey!) But she didn’t stop there, she goes on to say, that Bey had ‘done a beautiful job with the pre-record’. She mentions that, ‘When I heard the news this evening that she was pre-recorded I really laughed. I thought it was funny because the weather down there was about 46 or 44 degrees and for most singers that is just not good singing weather.’ After complimenting her she goes in a different direction mentioning she never thought of prerecording her performance 4 years back because, she wanted to give people the real thing and pre-recording never crossed her mind. This whole controversy started on Tuesday, simply when a spokesman for the Marine Corps Band who had the musical accompaniment for the National Anthem said that she did not in fact sing the Star Spangled Banner live, instead choosing to do a pre-recorded rendition of the track. Do you think it was okay that she had it prerecorded? Not a big deal? Or should she have sang it live considering it was a LIVE performance? Lmao. Let us know!
