Title: Beyonce lip-syncs Anthem?
Post by: Firekrakka on January 22, 2013, 02:35:57 PM
Figures if it's true. Another fake singer for a fake president.  :hammer:

Beyonce was not singing at the inauguration? She was lip-syncing to a pre-recorded track? Is everything a lie?
So Fox News and TMZ are reporting.
This is everything we feared Obama’s second term would be. This is the nightmare. You walk out of the honeymoon-suite bathroom to see your man sitting there in non-matching socks in a tub of lard, watching objectionable online videos, picking his teeth and farting noisily.

I don't like or dislike Beyonce, but to be fair, there have been quite a few people on Twitter saying that singing cold weather can cause some serious throat problems.

OMG a modern musician lip syncing, STOP THE PRESSES!!!!111

 :-)

Yeah it is fitting that for 0bama's second coronation that the singer would lip sync, since the preezy can't order lunch without a telepromter.

On the TV news last night, a member of The Marine Band, the presidents own, said that they were only acting like they were playing their instruments while she was singing the anthem.....then later an officer from the band released a statement that no one in the band was in a position(?) or authorized(?) to make such a statement......didn't say whether they were playing or not.

I wonder how much she got paid for that 'performance?'

Enough to pay at least 40% in taxes on it.

And of course the media is gonna focus on this to steer away from what 44 said in his speech.

Kelly Clarkson didn't have a problem REALLY singing.

As an Army musician, I've definitely had to "ape" playing my instrument so that a sound track would be added later on. This is nothing new.

Insofar as recordings are concerned, you'd be surprised just how much they're manipulated to be error-free. Those recording engineers are so good now they can make a camel fart sound like Luciano Pavarotti.

I don't listen to or watch any of the pre-game or post-game shit. It's all about the networks and commercials, and I disagree with their views (like Costas' rantings re: Firearms, which have nothing to do with football).

Who's Beyoncé, again?  Isn't that the ghey-looking pre-pubescent twirp from Canada? :confused:


Honestly, I could not care less.  The artists that get tagged to do events like this routinely prerecord their performance, just to make sure that the performance the audience experiences is as flawless as possible.  Girl has a frog in her throat when she steps to the mike? Easy, the sound engineer just fades her mike from the output and fades in the recording, and 99% of the low-intelligence Obama voters never recognize the difference.

I don't really care if she lip-sync'd it or not. It was basically a flawless rendition of the National Anthem, no funny stuff in it and properly sung. If it took a pre-recorded tape to do it, then fine. The last thing we want the world to see is a botched up National Anthem at the inauguaration of the president - regardless of how anyone thinks of the president or singer or anyone else that was up there on the massive podium or whatever it was called.

In the grand scheme of things...there are a whole lot of other stuff to worry and bitch about.

Yeah, there are bigger fish to fry - but not today. This sticks in my craw worse than a fishbone.

This is a bimbo that gets big bucks just by getting out of bed in the morning. I personally believe that if you're going to bring home that kind of bacon, you'd better have the ****ing chops to get the gig done THE FIRST TIME, Live, and without "enhancement."

When I perform, I get ONE chance to get it right. If I hose it up, nobody looks bad but me. I don't accept that "it's the inauguration and nobody's allowed to make a mistake" bullshit. That's the government and the control they want to put on everything.

:werd: Could not have said it better.

What about the singers back in the day such as Aretha Franklin. They sang live. How much did Beyonce cost us taxpayers? I don't care what anyone says. Our National Anthem should always be live.

I think she got 1.8 million for her appearance.

If she did...

Aren't the inauguration expenses covered by private funding with the exception of security?

Beyoncé arrived so late Sunday night she did not have time to rehearse with the U.S. Marine Band, which was asked to accompany the pop star's performance, according to the inauguration official. (http://www.clickorlando.com/news/politics/-Inaugural-official-says-Beyonce-did-not-sing-live/-/1637100/18254150/-/format/rss_2.0/-/fac6k0/-/index.html)

I get it that alot of blacks are prepetually on B.P.T., but seriously, when you are given the honor to perform the National Anthem for the Presidential Inauguration, I would think you would clear your calendar to make sure you arrive in plenty of time to prepare for the task at hand.  If this is asking too much of the prima donna, then another performer should be selected who takes the honor more seriously.

From the article:

Quote
She recorded her part separately from the band and her rendition was married with the band's music, the official said.

This is what sound engineers can do today. Freakin' amazing.

Your statement could do without the racial implications. If she was unable to rehearse due to lack of scheduling, then that was HER fault, not anything to do with the color of her skin. If she's too much of a prima donna or diva to show up in a timely manner, that's due to the people who constantly kiss her ass and tell her she's special, not due to the color of her skin.

Yeah, I never thought of Obama being late for almost all of his speeches and pressers as a black thing.  I just put it on him being an arrogant asshole.
