Beyoncè Lip-Syncs & The World Ends


                              

The name Beyoncè has been wagging on everyone’s lips for the past week because she allegedly lip-synced the National Anthem during this year’s Presidential Inauguration. Now, I was not going to discuss this because of the simple fact that I thought it was ridiculous for the media and everyone to be going crazy over this claim. Since everyone else has an opinion about it then why not let mine be heard? My stance on this is: who cares? Whether or not she sang live should not even matter because it was her voice that millions of people heard on display that day. She sounded beautiful and looked amazing! Get over it! She is Beyoncè! She can basically do whatever she wants. It was claimed that Beyoncè lip-synced the performance because she did not have a chance to rehearse with the band! If that is the case then I do not blame her. I would rather her get up there and lip-sync to a beautiful pre-recording than sing live and risk the chance of messing the performance up. It was also said that the weather conditions really were not suited for a singer to really sing live! I don’t know how true that was since I’m not a voice doctor or professional but the point still remains: WHO CARES????? You can watch Beyoncè performing the National Anthem at the Presidential Inauguration and decide for yourself did she really lip-sync or do you really care if she did or not? Beyoncè nor her team have spoken out about the allegations but she did post an image to Instagram with her wearing a sweatshirt with the phrase, “Can I Live?” written on the front of it! Take that haters! Ha! I, for one, enjoyed it lip-synced or not. In other funny news about Beyoncè someone’s YouTube channel under the name BadLipReading have made an hilarious video of what they claim Beyoncè actually sang at the Inauguration ceremony! Hilarity ensues after you click HERE!!!!

HUMAN LIKE YOU & I




So, celebrities have it bad when it comes to the media because everything that they do is magnified times 1000! They are always in the public eye and the average Joe could do the same thing and no one would really care. It really bothers me that people go crazy over the things that celebrities do like they are not human just like the rest of us. The most recent thing to hit the news that just made me roll my eyes were pics of Justin Bieber with a blunt in his hand! People went absolutely bonkers over this photo! Seriously, who cares about him smoking! I understand that smoking is not really legal in all states yet but cry me a river, Justin Bieber smokes weed! Now, I’m going to go jump off a cliff because my life isn’t worth living anymore! Yeah right! Let this young man live his life! He is definitely not the first or last person in the world to smoke! Now, let’s move on to some older news but recent as well. So, Rihanna decided to let Chris Brown back into her life (like he ever left). We all remember that fateful night when he beat her to smithereens but seriously that was 4 years ago and if she can move on from it then the world needs to as well. It’s her life and she can do what she wants with it. It may not be the smart thing to do according to some people but it’s not up to the public to play judge and jury! That privilege belongs to a higher power. Celebrities get it bad and I can only imagine how strong you have to be in order to not let the media and the public break you. Let’s face it, the public and the media can be very cruel and can make or break a celebrity. But celebrities are not holier than thou they are human just like non-celebrities and should be cut some slack. After all, it’s not up to celebrities to raise our younger generation even though a lot of them look up to these celebrities like Bieber and Rihanna. I do feel as though that they should be more careful with some of the things they do, but at the end of the day they should be living for themselves and not the media or the public.
