Beyonce's Rushed Super Bowl Press Conference To Sing The Anthem Being Slammed Online By Audiences

Beyonce Knowles

In response to the severe criticism she has faced, singer Beyonce Knowles, who marred President Obama's second inauguration via engaging in the unprecedented act of lip-syncing the National Anthem of the United States at the swearing in, called a rush press conference regarding her Super Bowl performance.

The bizarre press conference featured Knowles arrogantly stating she is a perfectionist, along with the confession she did indeed lip-sync at Obama's inauguration. However, a perfectionist would practice until they got it right - not cheated. Knowles also sang a lackluster version of the anthem, in an effort to show she can sing it, but as with her 2004 Super Bowl performance of the Star Spangled Banner, her voice was flat with a horn sounding tone.

The performance did not assuage angry Obama supporters and other patriots, who are angry with her deception at the historic, high profile event. Her performance was met with insults online such as "too late" along with other expletives such as "b****" expressing people's contempt. The incident caused the administration embarrassment, forcing it to distance itself from the scandal, stating the White House did not know Knowles was going to lip-sync the anthem.

Knowles singing the anthem at the Super Bowl press conference in an attempt to prove a point was also selfish. It takes away from the person actually scheduled to sing the anthem - Alicia Keys. More spotlight hogging on Knowles' part, something she has repeatedly done since her Destinys Child days.
