Its true the R&B Diva did lip sing at the President Inauguration


Beyoncé Knowles grace the audience at the President Inauguration, as she sang the National Anthem. She did a remarkable job as usual. But some do believe Beyoncé lip singed the song in front of thousands and the President of the United States.

On early Thursday Beyoncé held a press conference in New Orleans, where she talked about her anticipated Super Bowl half-time show and she addressed the question on rather or not she lip sang at the Inauguration.

At the conference Beyoncé gave a live performance of the National Anthem. She then asked the audience of they had any question, and indeed they asked her to explain what happen at the Presidential Inauguration.  

 

“I am a perfectionist and one thing about me, I practice until my feet bleed. I did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra, it was a live television show," Knowles explained. "Due to the weather, due to the delay, due to no proper sound check I did not feel comfortable taking the risk."

It was about the President and the Inauguration so I decided to sing along with the prerecorded track, which is very common in the music industry," continued Beyoncé. "I am very proud of my performance.”

Beyoncé also added that she didn’t have time to practice for the Inauguration, because she was always rehearsing for the Super Bowl. However, she stated that she was singing along with the track at the Presidential Inauguration.

So there you have it Beyoncé didn’t quite lip sing, but the song was prerecorded and she sang along.

My father left me broken


                 423 basketball games, 26 track meets, and 16 soccer games,   are all the game you missed. It may seem like it's not  a big deal to you, and I may not remember how many games I’ve  won but I can remember I didn’t have my father supporting me at NONE of the them. When I was in the 9th grade I went to hang with a couple friends and I fell off a moving car and broke my ankle. That year I couldn’t play basketball, and you weren’t there to help me get back on my feet. I moved in with uncle and his daughter to get away from my mother, who had too many rules and got on my nerves. To be honest I moved to try and replace you. I wanted to know how it felt to have a father, I wanted to be loved. However, he couldn’t love me like I wanted you too.  I just wanted a daddy. I wanted to know how it felt to be daddy little girl. I wanted to know how it felt to dance with my father in the middle of the floor of the father and daughter dance. I can’t remember how your touch feels, or your eye color. But I do remember your squared back and thick calf muscle. I went through high school trying to figure out why my father don’t love me, what’s keeping him from me, what could I do to persuade him that I am worth his time. I started looking for love in all the wrong places trying to fill the void you left in my heart. I started to hate you, and asked God why he chooses me to become a product of your semen. I blocked you from my mind, heart, and life. I figured I could make it in this world without you. I had to be strong for myself, my mother, and my siblings. Graduating from high school was a major mile stone in my life, and you couldn’t find in your heart to come to my graduation. That was your lost and not mines. When I wanted to cry about you, I would tell myself the greatest revenge I could get  is to make you proud and become the best person I could be. I enrolled in college to further my education and to start my revenge process. However, God spoke to me and I knew I had to forgive you. The day I decided to forgive you for abandoning me, my life changed. A lot of weigh, and hate was lifted off my shoulder. I wanted to let you know that I no longer blame you for your action, because you weren’t ready to be a man. It’s that time again for me to hit another mile stone in my life, graduating from college. Daddy it made me feel so good inside when you called and told me to send you an invitation to my graduation. It melted my heart to hear you say “you wouldn’t want to miss it for the world”. I’m a strong believer of the saying “time will heal all”. And I plan to take it a step at a time on OUR journey to rebuilding our relationship, DADDY.
