Beyonce Lip Sync Issue: Did She Not Sing It Live?

A U.S. Marine Band spokeswoman said today, that singer Beyonce lip-synced the National Anthem at Monday’s Obama inaugural event. What was heard by millions of people live and on TV was a pre-recorded version.

“We all know Beyonce can sing,” Master Sgt. of the U.S. Marine Band Kristin duBois told ABC News today. “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.”

The band was not playing while Beyonce was singing, duBois added, but it was live during the rest of the performances, including Kelly Clarkson’s rendition of “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee.” The band was asked not to play for only the national anthem, duBois added.
