   BEIJING, Jan. 23 (Xinhuanet) -- U.S. pop star Beyonce Knowles was questioned after she performed at the inauguration 1 ceremony of U.S. President Barack Obama over whether she lip-synched to the national anthem 2.


  On Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Marine 3 Band told media that Beyonce had lip synced when she preformed "The Star Spangled Banner" during the ceremony.
  However, the Marine Corps 4 backed off that statement later of the day and released a statement, saying "there was no opportunity for Ms. Knowles-Carter to rehearse with the Marine Band before the Inauguration so it was determined 5 that a live performance by the band was ill-advised for such a high-profile event.""Each piece of music scheduled for performance in the Inauguration is pre-recorded for use in case of freezing temperatures, equipment failure, or extenuating 6 circumstances, " it added"Regarding Ms. Knowles-Carter's vocal 7 performance, no one in the Marine Band is in a position to assess whether it was live or pre-recorded." Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Gregory Wolf noted 8.
  Besides, a source very familiar with the situation said that Beyonce performed the National Anthem live, but she pre-recorded a track of the song to sing over.
  This is a standard performing practice, the source added.
  So far, the publicists of Beyonce have not responded to requests for comment.
  According to the website MTV.com, there're a few artists who were proved to lip-sync at the major national events before: late U.S. singer Whitney Houston and Oscar-winner and former "American Idol 9" contestant 10 Jennifer Hudson both lip-synced "The Star Spangled Banner" at the Super Bowl in 1991 and 2009.
