Beyonce lip sync + no time to rehearse with band
“Because she didn’t have time to rehearse with the Marine Band, she decided to use her recording with the Marine Band,” the official said, noting that the singer didn’t arrive in Washington D.C. until late Sunday night......popwatch.ew.
The official doesn’t know why Beyoncé elected not to sing live — by all accounts, “she was spot on” in her pre-recording session, and “she’s actually a very good live singer.” There’s apparently no word on why Bey ripped out her earpiece mid-song, either.
For the record, Beyoncé herself still hasn’t released a statement about the performance — though stars from Jennifer Lopez to Aretha Franklin have defended the common practice of using a pre-recorded track at a live event.Lopez noted on The Daily Show Tuesday that “certain stadiums and certain venues” make lip-synching necessary.
