Beyonce performs National Anthem at Inauguration

Sandra Rose January 21, 2013

Maybe I’m getting old but I truly forgot that Beyonce was singing the National Anthem at her bestie President Obama’s 2nd Inauguration today. Luckily, YouTube exists to instantly replay the moments that we miss. Watch Bey’s performance after the break.

She always has that dramatic look just before she’s about to perform. She did a pretty good job though.

Nobody has touched the Star Spangled Banner like Whitney Houston. Beyonce did a good job.

she did a good job. she wasnt over top and exaggerated, as she can some times be.
but noone can hold a candle to nippy.

Unshakable

On topic: she did a better job when she sung this at the Superbowl in Houston. Overall, she did a good job! I hope BIC takes notes regarding her parents’ financial saavy and business acumen.

Beyonce looked very pretty today….but I must say…I was expecting her to turn the party out! They should have let Tamar saaaaang it!

Beyawnce today is about Mr Obama, not you, your singing or your weave.
Take a seat.

Yess Tamar would have given us Mimi circa 1997

Hate her or love her, Beyonce can stand still and have stage presence like no other. She will never work books but give her a stage and she will burn it down. She sounded great. Bet this performance will be on her upcoming album as a bonus track lol. Her baby was a business move. LoL “the money is the motive”…that’s her motto.

She stayed in tune. That’s all I got. Kelly sounded better and had a much more impressive range.
Beyonce is an en-ter-tain-er…NOT a vocalist.

Whitney had her time to shine, now let Beyonce have hers .. She did good.

I think she did a great job. Beyonce is 31 now (right?), so she will look older than she did at 21… BUT I also think the make up is aging her. She looks much younger and fresh faced when she’s not so heavily made up…
Obama!

B is so freakin dope. I think I want to sell her my wedding ring set though. It’s small enough for her to wear in public with out Secret Service protection. Speaking of….where the heck was Julius?

Of course she’s gonna sound good, she has a nice singing voice, but it was bland to me. I don’t know if it wuz bcuz she didn’t use any range. I’m glad she didn’t do all that riffing, but to substitute that, ur range gotta be crazy.

Her neck is givin me nightmares though! And she didn’t look nice in the face at all.

Kelly Clarkson started off shaky, but then she killed it. Her range is nuts!
