When word spread that Karaoke singer Beyonce wasn’t singing live during President Obama’s 2nd Inauguration, the blogosphere erupted in laughter and ridicule.
But surprisingly, one of the first people to jump to her defense was Soul legend Aretha Franklin, who said:
“I thought it was funny because the weather down there was about 46 or 44 degrees and for most singers that is just not good singing weather…” she told ABC News. “When I heard that I just really cracked up. I thought it was really funny, but she did a beautiful job with the pre-record.”
Jennifer Lopez, who has lip-synced a time or two herself, told Jon Stewart, “Sometimes it happens when you are in certain stadiums and certain venues and things, they do pre-record stuff because you’re going to have that terrible slapback.”
More from Sandrarose.com:
SO THERE . . .
Enough with this Crap Already!
Where is that damn hat u had on when u sang Aretha
J Lo :stop: U dont even sing in the studio let alone on stage
Terrible slapback equates to bad singing, no pro-tools, etc
What happened to J-Lo’s face?
Better yet, who put that synthetic wig on Aretha! !! I need an explanation
Jennifer Lopez, who has lip-synced a time or two herself,
——
Auntie now u know that should read “Jennifer Lopez, who lip synchs all the dayum time…”
“Sometimes it happens when you are in certain stadiums and certain venues and things, they do pre-record stuff because you’re going to have that terrible slapback
……………….
yall should listen to J-Lo afterall she knows a thing or two about “terrible slapbacks”
ummm ok Auntie, everybody on SOUL TRAIN lip synched for years. ITS ok, lets move on. :obama:
I thought it was funny because the weather down there was about 46 or 44 degrees and for most singers that is just not good singing weather…”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Butchu is from DETROIT, You dont sing when its cold outside?
I don’t like Aretha has lost weight. She got that star jones neck and arms now
Oh my gawd
Jlo age showing in that pic
that dress was freaking awesome by the way 
J-Lo looks Phillipino
This subject is like
let it go she is not the 1st singer to lip sync and surely want be the last
Aunty Aretha
FANTASIA I LOVE YOU. OH YEAH B YOU DID GREAT!!!

I’m so excited
I’m in too deep

____________________________
Funny I ain’t never heard her sing live
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That is not Aretha’s full quote. Miss Franklin shaded Beyonce something special stating that it never occurred to her to use a pre-recorded tape. Aretha also made it known that she did sing live. It was about 20 degrees colder 4 years ago.
Aretha gave Beyonce as much support as a training bra would support her own bosoms.
everybody on SOUL TRAIN
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Well not mama Patti.
She was one of the rare live Soul Train live performers.
Up there sanging “If Only You Knew” with her original nose and her original 4 shades lighter skin color. Its really a classic.

*grabs Rhythm Nation outfit* 
Adds Franklin, “I thought it was really funny, but she did a beautiful job with the pre-record … next time I’ll probably do the same.”
Franklin says that in 2009, she opted for a live performance because, “I wanted to give people the real thing and pre-recording never crossed my mind.”
She’s not about to denounce any artist for going that route.
“I think it’s optional really, it’s up to the artist,” Franklin says.
“In 2009, I wanted everything to be live and on the real side for the moment as it actually happened. Those were my feelings for my performance, but having come face to face with 28, 22 degrees I am not surprised she pre-recorded.
She wanted her performance to be what she wanted to be and she realized it wasn’t going to be the way she wanted it to be or she was going to be running a risk. That’s probably why she pre-recorded exactly how she wanted it to be heard.”

And ADT’s signs are coming up missing all over the US.
I done seen Janet Jackson live twice in her prime. Once in the Forrest Gump it comes in sideways RAIN.
That bish needed to not ever have to sang… or even move her lips to any track…or nothing really when she is busy turning into a Black Cat on the stage and shat.
Best live show ever in life. She was Cirque de Soleil before there WAS a Cirque de Soleil. She was hanging from the rafters while Pink was in elementary school.
no you didn’t Trend
Beyonce OVERLOAD

I wasnt offended at all. Just wondering what Black person refers to themself or any other Black person as COLORED in todays world.
THIS TYPE OF FOOLISHNESS IS THE EXACT REASON THAT BEYONCE’S IMAGE IS LARGER THAN LIFE, BECAUSE SOMETHING AS BIG AS THE PRESIDENT’S INAUGARATION WAS TAKING PLACE AND THE MEDIA CHOOSES TO FOCUS ON BEYONCE’S PERFORMANCE
HELL YOU MOFOS ARE THE ONE’S MORE OBSESSED WITH THIS WOMAN THAN HER FANS
SERIOUSLY THE MORE POSTS AND MEDIA OUTLETS REPORTING THIS STORY THE MORE ATTENTION SHE GETS, ALTHOUGH YOU THINK IT’S NEGATIVE, IT’S ONLY MAKING FOLKS GOOGLE HER PERFORMANCE,DUH

that nigguh on some other ish for real…and yes Con’s grill is all the way fcuked up…I just wanted to know why that rat broad kept yapping like she was important…you know they say Erica Mena is Envy’s former jump off and that’s why they haven’t had her on the show 
Who is Envy?
NVm..Envy made me think of Rich when I just saw his pic.
@DIMPZ – he’s the dj on the breakfast club…really light skinned dude
