Lipsynch Stink: Beyoncé Saving Voice for Super Bowl Halftime Show?

After days of speculation over Beyoncé’s alleged lipsynch of the National Anthem, a new source has stepped forward claiming the superstar chose a pre-recorded rendition of the song because she was busy preparing for the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

The Super Bowl is clearly a bigger draw with more than 100 million tuning in last year. President Obama's inauguration drew just 20 million viewers.
Some “Beyonce Truthers” are fighting for Knowles, claiming she did sing the “Star Spangled Banner.” A sound engineer analyzed the performance, and concluded that it was the band that was pre-recorded, not Beyoncé. He points out that her mic was obviously turned up at the beginning of the performance and that the sound of wind and the singer’s scarf flapping can clearly be heard in some versions. Read his in-depth explanation here.
So far, Bey is taking it all in stride and staying out of the controversy. She’s already in New Orleans prepping for the big game on February 3rd, and even posted a pic on Instagram from Mother’s restaurant.

The “Single Ladies” singer also launched a new BeyHive Blog covering “weekly films, songs, people, places, foods & fashions.”

In a time when high profile performers are created by big business corporations, and not born with a practiced and nurtured talent.
It is no surprise to me that these phony and unprofessional performances
are and will continue to take place in a celluloid society such as we are
in write now.
It doesn't matter if she sang or not. The President was happy. She still carries her self in a tasteful manner, has a beautiful voice, and as long as she uses it in a positive light, no one can take her fame, and fortune. No one has the right to comment negitively. No one lives in her shoes.
- She's staying out out of the controversy because she did use the track because we all know darn well if she did sing she would be up in arms about it. I'm not saying that it matters if she did or not, as it was for the President of the United States(!), but to have this go on and not comment that just answers the question too.
- The excuse she's getting ready for the superbowl? Sorry, don't buy that - it's 2wks away And she's used to doing city to city tours singing all night.
- Again, not saying that it matters- whether she didn't want to, didn't feel comfortable, was afraid she'd forget the words, whatever it is....the least she can do is own up to it.
What scarf did she have on, I only saw a dress that should not have been worn anyway.
That's BULL! She does show after show, concert after concert and doesn't worry about her voice UNLESS those concerts are fake too! Singing for 2 minutes at the inauguration and then weeks later singing at the Super Bowl would give her voice plenty of time to "heal"! What is wrong with these fake people that make millions and probably fool us all the time!

DIDN'T WE LEARN FROM LANCE ARMSTRONG, BARRY BONDS, AND ON AND ON.
KIDS CAN'T LOOK UP TO ANYTHING OR ANYONE TODAY CAN THEY? THAT'S WHY THEY ARE SO CYNICAL.
Beyonce, you're a phony baloney!
I agree lorijane630 and for every advertizment they entered they should be charged a fee ? Stick people like that in there pocket maybe they`ll stop doing that ?
I`m really sad that all anyone has to do is GOSIP on people . I think MEDIA should stay out of the celeberty`s buissness like they do . Like who cares what someone wares or how much weight someone gained i think you all take it to far. In the way MEDIA puts there nose up celeberty`s Butt wholes is a shame . That causes baleemia & even dealth is some cases. GEES Our kids see how MEDIA is seeing people and it affects our youth today as well . And i believe MEDIA has to claim so of the guilt when a celeberty or our kids dies from sueicide or even baleemia ( eating disorders ) Like MEDIA BULLIES !!! shame on you .WHY can`t people accept people for who they are ?
If she got paid to sing & she lipsang then she needs to repay what she was paid to do her job . Other then that who cares what she did ? She is a awesome singer for sure i just love her music . Now if i had to buy a video she lipsang on i`d feel ripped off . Maybe she was sick that day IF she lipsang ?
what a bunch of B.S.!!! NOBODY truley believes it!!!
As Jennifer Lopez said on the Daily Show, " this is done by everyone incl. me for various different reasons". such as sound bouncing off equipment & walls and the size of the audience and fields it needed to reach. It was Beyonce and she sounded great, thats all we need on a day such as that in the wind/cold and millions to reach. This WOULD be a problem if it was not her or mixed to make her sound better, but people, please, get on with life and a happy one I hope for all!
Oh puh-leeze!!!! If I had a choice of singing live for one and lip syncing the other I would do the inauguration live. I would have thought she would too considering how chummy her and Jay Z are to Odumbo and his wife. It just sounds like an excuse which she is good at making..ok not so good because she is so transparent.
