Aretha Franklin, who sang at the first Presidential Inauguration for President Barack Obama has thrown her two-cents worth into the Beyonce ‘lip-synching’ controversy.

“When I heard [she lip-synched] I just really cracked up. I thought it was really funny, but she did a beautiful job with the pre-record,” Aretha said. The Queen of Soul also added, that she “wanted to give people the real thing and pre-recording never crossed [her] mind.”

What do you think about the Beyonce controversy? Do you think that she was wrong to pre-record her version of the National Anthem? At the end of the day, Bey’s version was amazing…..
