and andcas delivers another crushing blow to pop music. fight the good fight, you pop punk warrior you.

I never understood why a citizen would not know their respective national anthem by heart. I'm a Canadian and I fucking jack off to my anthem.

i didn't know they had black people in canada damn.

Meh, everyone wants the anthem to sound good and it's hard to sing when it's cold. Imagine how much worse it would have been if she had fucked up. Woulda ruined the day.

who cares. she's a twat.

"I never understood why a citizen would not know their respective national anthem by heart."

That's all I ever think about, knowing the Star Spangled Banner and La Marseillaise by heart...

she should have sang the african-american national anthem

Pop "musicians" seem to rarely ever perform live. They perform the dance moves, don't expect them to actually sing the songs.

Taylor Swift sang live in the past but I really doubt she still does

"Pop "musicians" seem to rarely ever perform live. They perform the dance moves, don't expect them to actually sing the songs."

Yeah I don't quite get that. They have an armada of dancers to do the moves on stage, why not do what they make their money off of, sing? Especially for people like Beyonce who have powerful voices.

"I never understood why a citizen would not know their respective national anthem by heart. I'm a Canadian and I fucking jack off to my anthem."

I couldn't care less about mine honestly

@Strider my guess is because it's hard for someone like Lady GaGa to sing and dance at the same time so it's the difference between actually performing live and giving a shit performance and putting on a CD all the kids have heard 5000 times and electrifying the crowd. People go to pop shows for the spectacle more than anything else.

I couldn't care less about national anthems either. You only need to know one verse of God Save the Queen to get away with it here and I can barely remember that.

probably found it appropriate to be corrupt and deceptive, to match with the politics.

I guess you're right. Lady Gaga though does manage to actually sing and dance. I still think it's a shame though. I'd rather see someone fuck up a bit in the vocal department than turn to ridicule because he/she is lip-syncing

Why anyone is surprised a manufactured pop star would lip sync a live performance is beyond me.

Would still smash.

She couldn't try harder to memorize the national anthem for the president's goddamn inauguration?

"She couldn't try harder to memorize the national anthem for the president's goddamn inauguration?"

Exactly what I was thinking. Da fuck is the matter with people these days.

Honestly, people blow this shit way out of proportion. Yeah yeah, we know that you think she should do it live, but honestly, it's a really fucking important day and I don't see the problem with doing this to avoid screwing it up, since, ya know, it's really fucking important, and the flak would be so much worse if she had tried to do it live and then fucked it up. Lip syncing a regular concert is stupid, lip syncing this to avoid ruining something extremely important isn't altogether a bad choice. I mean try to imagine the nerves behind doing something like that. Shit, I get nervous in an interview with one person, she's performing in front of a ton of people, including the president.

Obviously, I don't know why she chose to lip sync it, but people are overreacting to this. It's not like she's the first person to lip sync the national anthem.

I don't care about national anthems much but at least 'God Save The Queen' has a really good alternate version.

andcas article called it dam

it also has 666 views right now i am on a roll. bahamas here i come

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd,
Tros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed.

Gwlad, Gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Sing my countries anthem Beyonce.

@bloc not everyone's a patriot

I can barely hum to la marseillaise and I don't give a fuck about the queen

It's not as big of a deal as people are making it out to be (seriously CNN...you don't need to talk about it for an hour). It's still kinda lame, but that's really all that can be said about it now.

She is useless..

I agree with Apollo

you read the huffington post...

and last inauguration, Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman had a recording played because it was apparently too cold for their instruments. it's not unheard of, and being so outraged by it is unwarranted

great article andcas

Good article.

Also, fuck patriotism. Who cares.

Fucking, everybody does this. Who gives a fuck.

This is like being surprised that pornstars fake orgasms

another pat on the back for andcas

somebody make him a news mod

at least the stories he flags up are interesting

At least compared to most of what gets tossed about here

that's right andcas enjoy the haters it's the right thing to do

Why anyone would be beyond themselves of why anyone is surprised a manufactured pop star would lip sync a live performance is beyond me.

Obama was probably thinking of dat ass the whole time anyway.

gross she's not even hot, obama should have better standards.

probably, i mean she looks like a gorilla so i wouldn't doubt her strength.

haha

auberginedreams is part of the ku klux klan agreed

I'd still fuck Beyonce.

she's fucking ugly

I would fuck someone with class, dita von teese or a redhead like christina hendricks

My god she is hot

christina hendricks is hot, dita von teese is ugly.

dita von teese is someone you marry and never let go.


marilyn faggotson did

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

whoa yes, protip: extremely attractive women like gothic makeup, 12 cm penises, and awful taste in clothing.

Evan Rachel Wood is pretty fine agreed

After watching the video of her performance, it looks/sounds as if she was singing along with the pre-recorded track. There were brief moments in which two voices -- out of sync with one another -- stuck out. By no means is this a defense; the pre-recorded vocal track was obviously far louder in the mix than her actual singing.

why do you have such specific knowledge of his genitals?

great idea guys why don't we get beyonce in to sing the national anthem...only she won't actually sing it.

praise be popular music culture

i knew saying that wasn't a bright idea

What a bitch

If you can fake a pregnancy, you can fake a performance.

oh no

It's somewhere in their discography...

Packing heat? Since when is 12cm a big dick

Aubergine you haven't committed suicide yet?

you haven't died of aids yet? i figured you'd be having more fourways with three guys.

Because Sputnik obviously knows best what counts most in life, relationships and careers.

general statement, also hinting to the inherent stupidity regarding the marilyn manson comment.

Why didn't the president choose a better singer, like a jazz musician or something?

Jazz musicians don't sing silly

That shit makes people depressed. They'd rather be angry at pop stars than sad about children being murdered

Yeah sure everybody does it, but at an inauguration? Cmon man...That's just embarrassing.

Probably better for her career than screwing up the lyrics live.

"Beyonce Fakes National Anthem"

umm we're not all american

Still bang her regardless

lol @ not being able to memorize it.

as expected

I never understood why a citizen would not know their respective national anthem by heart. I'm a Canadian and I fucking jack off to my anthem.
