Assigned Entry #2 "She Lip Synced Big Deal"

      Here is an interesting little article! I found this article on Beyonce and the whole "she lip synced at President Obama's Inauguration" ordeal. Upon reading the article I felt a bit disgusted to honest. I think it is a shame the way people hold celebrities to these high standards like they are not human beings or something. Who are we kidding? No one is perfect and the reality is we are all expected to fall short of the world's expectations every now and then. Beyonce, I am sure, like all other artist is a perfectionist. I can't imagine the nerves one must have singing in front of the President and his entourage. I probably would have lip synced too!

      This article is sending a subliminal message to celebrities to check their integrity and clearly expressing how wrong they think it is for this type of behavior at such a formal event. All of that is understandable but should it had been that big a deal when we're talking about "Beyonce"? There is no doubt that she [Beyonce] is very talented and an amazing performer. This article, in my opinion, make the editor seem petty. Not only did they fail to mention that many other celebrities also lip synced at the Inauguration they had the nerve to compare her [Beyonce] singing to Kelly Clarkson, who apparently managed to sing live when she performed years ago. They stated that Yo Yo Ma played along to a prerecorded track at the 2009 Inaugural and we all know how talented he is. So is it wrong to cover your own vocals or prerecorded music if a good bit of the world know that you are talented? I think "NOT". I believe this article is damaging for the editor and may affect their future credibility.
