National Anthem Faked: Someone Scared?
 

Things that make you smiley

But to close observers, it appeared the performer was not singing live. To press seated just below the podium, in front of the “President’s Own” Marine Corps Band, it was evident that the band wasn’t actually playing during the song—even though band director Colonel Michael J. Colburn was conducting energetically and the band members mimicked blowing into their instruments. Separately, at one point during her performance, Beyoncé removed her earpiece.

Uh huh.

Someone get scared that she might have sung something like this?

Oh say can you see?
The fake scumbag standing on the podium.
Who bombed the***** out of poor Afghan children....
While our boys were busy dy....ing....

Who wants to steal all your guns!
And grope you on the subwayyyyyyy...
While Corzine makes off with the loot....
And Timmmmmaaaaeeee screws your children's future.....

Oh yeah that would have gone over well... smiley

So.... we just play a recording that we can vet, and like everything else this President has done, it's damned fake!

That is really despicable. I can guarantee this: if there is one thing the Marine Corps Band can do, its play the National Anthem.

I guess there is NOTHING authentic about this president.

When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental — men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost... All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. - H.L. Mencken (Baltimore Sun, 1920-07-26)

Yeah...an outdoor "event" that was broadcast recorded music instead of live.

This is a non issue. I suspect the fear of cold weather playing havoc with the proper tuning of the instruments was more at work here than the fear of singing...off script.

Our local HS Band played at Macy's this Thanksgiving.

They did NOT record their music.

Rapper Lupe Fiasco was thrown off stage at a pre-inauguration event for criticizing Obama's foreign policy in his songs. It isn't too far of a stretch to think that Obama's handlers were afraid of a similar expression of free speech by Beyonce. Though I agree, Beyonce has always been an outspoken Obama supporter so the chance of something like that happening is pretty small.

That's good to hear. I thought that all "live" tv musical performances these days were just broadcasts of recorded music with appropriate "miming" as if it were live.

I bet the band director could play with himself during the entire performance and there would be nothing reported in the newpapers about it. Obama would shake his hand (the one he used to play with himself) right afterwards and pin a medal on his lapel.

Yeah, I'd guess that Beyonce is a true believer as well. More likely it was Beyonce who was afraid she was going to forget the words or that she wouldn't be able to hit the high notes in the cold.

I've sang professionally quite a few times with an in-ear monitor. Sometimes they just suck, especially at large events where there is little to no sound check and dozens of different mixes and interfering frequencies for the sound crew to deal with. I've ripped mine out quite a few times.

I haven't seen the video, and I certainly wouldn't be surprised if the claim was true. But that fact alone is not a significant piece of evidence. And judging from my experience, her removing the earpiece does more to prove that it was really a live performance.

Again, not saying it's not dubbed, just my two yen.

Maybe the Marine Corp band decided not to play in protest to the Messiah’s executive orders.

Wishful thinking I guess.
