JK2006	No: I can't find her exact words; all the reports I can see are edits and have her saying she did "sing" - but to a backing track. If she sang to a fully pre recorded (with vocal) track and the mic was turned off, then that is - to my understanding - lip sync. But it looked and sounded very much like a live vocal to my eyes and ears - and I've heard and seen (and done) enough of all types to be pretty good at spotting it. You don't tug out the earpiece if you're trying to match a pre recorded vocal.

So you believe that she (and her advisors) decided they should admit to a crime she didn't commit. What she did at the inauguration was sing live with the microphone turned off. When Lip-synching some performers "mouths" the words while others sing the words with the knowledge the only people who can hear are those within a few feet, If you sing the track and do it well it can be almost impossible to tell the difference. At the inauguration ceremony the microphone had a very large windshield so it was difficult to study her mouth too closely. If the vocal that is broadcast is not coming live from the performer featured on camera then that performer is lip-synching/miming. I feel sorry for Beyonce on this occasion as she didn't sing live for very honourable and understandable reasons. As I said in my previous post she sang Star Spangled Banner acapella at her press conference and there is certainly nothing wrong with her voice. Unlike some others she can sing and can sing very well.

Zee Snore	This is the most pointless debate ever.

She had a perfect opportunity to say clearly 'I was singing live' and she didn't do so. If she had sung live, why was she talking about weather conditions? Personally I like what Marc Almond said on Twitter: 'So Beyonce DID mime! So what! Very sensible in the circumstances. She doesn't need to prove she can sing.' That is the point.
