Beyonce admits she lip synced at Inauguration

(AP) Beyonce says she did lip sync when she performed the national anthem on Inauguration Day.

The singer held a press conference Thursday in New Orleans days ahead of her half-time performance at the Super Bowl.

She said she's a perfectionist and wanted her performance for President Barack Obama to be a memorable one. She called the day emotional.

Beyonce opened the press conference with live rendition of the national anthem.
