Responding to the controversy about whether she sang live or lip-synced during her performance at the presidential inauguration earlier this month, Beyoncé Knowles said Thursday that she "decided to sing along with the prerecorded track."
"I did not feel comfortable taking a risk," she said.

“This Just In” is CNN's news blog. We'll bring you the latest news from CNN’s correspondents and sources around the world. We’ll cover stories that are breaking, causing ripples, or otherwise driving the collective daily conversation, along with some items we find interesting and worth sharing.





It was her voice. Therefore, we do not care that she sang to pre-recorded track. This really is not newsworthy.
So, you really don't care if someone lies about what they're doing. Interesting.
They should have shot a video with it and broadcast it along with the audio track....It was her body. Therefore, we do not care whether or not she was actually present at the event.
Bet you weren't so considerate to Ashley Simpson!
Well...DUH!
So, did the band blow sync?
in other news...I stubbed my toe this morning. Film at 11.
speedy recovery!
Risk...she's nt afraid nw 2 hit d wrng key..is she? Lol
Celebs, take a lesson here: When in doubt, tell the truth, as soon as possible. Good job Beyonce.
so what, who cares ? Big deal, leave the girl alone !
on another note, John Boehner actually looks darker than Beyoncé and President Obama in this pic ! lay off the spray tan there Johnny !!!
So what? If she is incapable of singing it live then she doesn't need to be up there pretending to sing, they can just play a recording. It's completely phony and fraudulent. Obviously she needed a lot of studio mixing, autotune and over dubbing to make an acceptable performance. Who cares? People with integrity, that's who. Real singers sing, they don't pretend. Look up what Elton John thinks about phony lip sincers...
Way to post a half-truth while omitting what took place at the start of and during the press conference. LOL.
WOW.....Now I can sleep tonight.
Well thank goodness CNN isn't obsessing over it... they just have 1 article about it everyday. Real news is hard. Fake news is easy!
"La Fway"
How pathetic. "I didn't feel like taking a risk." So I faked it.
In the grand scheme of this who gives a S__T
She was paid (by taxpayer dollars) to give a live performance. She did not give a live performance. She is in breach of contract. She must now be obligated to return the money she was paid. Accepting payment for a job not done is fraud and theft.
So you saw her Contract? Really? This is a VERY common practice, and I have NEVER seen a Contract like you refer to.
uuuhhhhh., who cares...
