Beyonce-gate

I guess in her defense wasn't it like 11 degrees or something? Would imagine it would be hard to sing in that. She's hot so ill give her a pass.

Sorry wrong guy.
I would actually characterize that as the start of the decline, though there have been some gems in between.

I agree, it makes no difference. Beyond that what does being upset about it do for anyone? This is the sort of small stuff that people need to stop worrying about.

I don't think anyone in this thread is upset about it.

They did pre-record it, but the military personnel on the field said they could hear her actually singing it, but it wasn't on a live microphone.

While it's still up in the air whether she did or didn't, I can see exactly why she would.

Singing the SSB is difficult enough, but at that temperature, your vocal chords are not as loose as you want them to be, and it's very difficult to get a full breath when the air is that cold.

There is no band today that can compare to the Beatles. It was a children's song. Settle down before you get hurt.

It's not like she's never sung live before. Whitney could sing her butt off, but she lip-synched her famous SSB rendition.

Artists like Bey, Whitney, J-Hud, et al, just want to make sure there are no flubs when there are millions of people watching, not because they can't actually blow the roof off.

All I know is Ann Wilson sang the national anthem at the stadium this year.

I guess Charlotte told her most people pre record or lip synch to which Ann Wilson replied " Ann Wilson doesn't lip synch"

How can you not love that. And as usual she sounded spectacular.

Dude bagging on the Beatles revolver?

U need a musical education.

Personally, I assume all live singers are lip-syncing until proven otherwise. Even when they do not fully lip-sync, they use backtracking to supplement their singing, especially on the highs and lows. Between that and auto-tune, I am listening less and less to songs with singing in them these days except when it comes to singers and bands that you can tell never use those.

I never accused anyone in this thread of being upset, just commenting on the general idea that this will upset some people.

My wife and I said the same thing this morning. We all know what Beyonce can do.

Maybe in situations like this in the future, they should just say what the singer is doing ahead of time.

Lip synch or not, Beyonce is an awesome singer.
This doesn't bother me at all.

Does telling someone ahead of time change things?

This. Plus it was at the Inauguration of the POTUS (not trying to drag politics in here, Mods. ) She simply wanted the best sound possible for the event. I can respect that.
