Yep, for the Superbowl but apparently not for her concert for the troops later.

It doesn't really surprise me anymore when singers lipsynch during live performances. Then again, I grew up watching Kpop music shows.

If this is true, so did Whitney Houston at the Superbowl and others.

Beyonce still slayed if she did or didn't.

Wasn't there photos of her in the studio recording put out a few days ago, saying that she was prerecording it?

It's not like it's a huge deal, it's done all the time.

I didn't question it the first time around but watching again it really does seem lip synched, mostly around the end. Towards the beginning it doesnt seem that way though, It sounds like you could hear her like smacking her lips (i dont know how to phrase that sound so it makes sense) that you usually hear in live performances.

Singing over a pre-recorded back track is not 'miming' or 'lip syncing'.

But LOL @ the haters rejoicing.

It's like people stay pressed over everything Beyonce does. No matter what I loved the fact she always has a smile on her face and goes on with life. Meanwhile those that always pressed over her keep digging deeply for anything, anything they can find to pull her down. I admire her spirit and her not allowing none of them to bring her down. That's what I admire the most about her and her grace.

I love this comment.

It's like what she said about her mother and sister being very defensive of her but she just laughs it off.
You don't get to where she is without getting an incredibly thick skin.
Anyway irl everyone loves her and still supports her, ONTD is just bitter because you know how they hate anyone successful.

Mte, backing track and lip-synching are two very different things. But of course, people hear lip-synch and just go with it!

I love how people hear lip-syncing and they just think the person is standing there just mouthing the words and not making any sound.

I only know a few of her songs. I just checked her discography. I'd think she'd have more studio albums, tbh.

Um. ? Rihanna has 7, right? Bey has 4, and I just meant that what with everyone riding Bey's dick so hard, she'd have more albums out? IDK.
I'm listening to some of the songs on youtube now, and... I guess she has a great voice and a grand personality? Because the songs are... just OK.
