What's the Big Deal?

- "Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light ... Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight ... And the star- spangled banner in triumph shall wave. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!" We've all heard these words before.  It is traditionally played at the beginning of public sports events and orchestral concerts in the United States, as well as other public gatherings. This year it was sung during Barack Obama's Presidential Inauguration. The National Anthem is often criticized for the way it's sung, whether done bad, or lip synced. Unfortunately Beyoncé was a victim of lip syncing. Word spread like wild fire through radio play, and he say, she say, which eventually led to a press conference about whether she did it or not. She was more than happy to admit to it and was satisfied with her performance. I personally didn't understand the dramatics over if she did it and why. We've all witnessed Beyoncé sing hundreds of time without lip syncing and she sounds astounding each and every time, so what's the big deal? She's proven her credibility more than once. People seem to never be satisfied. So may I ask again, what's the big deal?
