Biggest Controversy from President Obama's Inauguratiom Surprisingly, the biggest controversy stemming from President Obama's inauguration is whether or not Beyonce lip-synced the national anthem.
Beyoncé's performance was pretty stellar, and got rave reviews, but is that because she didn't actually sing it?
It's standard procedure with a performance like this for musicians to record a backing track that they can sing and play along to.
And yesterday, a spokeswoman for the Marine Corps Band . . . which backed up the performance . . . said that Beyoncé made the decision to rely entirely on that track.
She said, "We all know Beyoncé can sing. We all know the Marine Corps Band can play. We do not know why she decided to go with the pre-recorded music at the last minute."
