No one has confronted lip-syncing rumors quite like Beyoncé. (What would you expect from the queen?) After grabbing headlines for not singing the national anthem live at President Barack Obama's second inauguration, Bey used a Super Bowl press conference as an opportunity to prove she had the pipes and talent to sing the challenging song without accompaniment.
Bey also came clean about her reasons for using a track. "I practice until my feet bleed, and I did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra," she said. "Due to no proper sound check, I did not feel comfortable taking a risk. It was about the president and the inauguration, and I wanted to make him and my country proud, so I decided to sing along with my prerecorded track, which is very common in the music industry. And I'm very proud of my performance."
