Oh, say, do you care? Mike Doughty, a singer-songwriter writing for Slate, says he’s convinced that Beyonce was singing live and not lip-syncing “The Star-Spangled Banner” during Monday’s presidential inauguration ceremony.

Doughty also says Vice President Joe Biden’s reaction proves that Beyonce was actually singing.
