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…..
Aretha Franklin will have you know that she is not too old to give aspiring singers the Simon Cowell treatment on the next season of American Idol.
Thank you very much.
