After a week of controversy surrounding her
inauguration performance, Beyoncé threw some
Super Dome-sized shade at her detractors. The
international mega star belted out "The Star-
Spangled Banner" with no pre-recorded background
music at a press conference today.
Dressed in a radiant, white, long sleeve dress, Bey
gracefully stepped on stage and delivered an a
cappella rendition of the song she admitted to
singing with a pre-recorded track at President
Obama's inauguration. Once she was done with
putting to rest any questions about her ability to sing
the song she took questions from the media.
"I am a perfectionist," she explained about her
decision to use the pre-recorded track at the
inauguration. "And one thing about me: I practice 'till
my feet bleed. I did not have time to rehearse with
the orchestra. It was a live television show... Due to
the weather, due to the delay, due to no proper
sound check... I did not feel comfortable singing live."
Once the "Love on Top" songstress was done publicly
addressing "lip-synch gate" for the first time, she
turned the focus to her highly anticipated halftime
performance, where she will "absolutely be singing
live."
Bey talked about Sunday's performance, which could
be viewed by over 100 million people, as a once-in-a-
lifetime opportunity that's been years in the making.
"This is what I was born to do."
