Beyonce shared the behind the scenes photo above as she prepared for her performance of the National Anthem during Barack Obama’s Presidential Inauguration.
It was serious business for Queen B, as the 31 year old hot mom remained focused during practice to insure she delivered a flawless performance of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’.
Practice makes perfect because Beyonce delivered!
She appeared emotional as she took to the podium decked in Lorraine Schwartz 80 carat emerald earrings and a 50 carat emerald ring, but throughout it all remained professional and picture perfect as she delivered a stellar performance.

What did you think of Beyonce’s Inaugural performance?
I am not a fan but DANG, she did that!!!!! Great job Bey!
Yeah I do agree,She did really good and better than I thought she would’ve done.
Beyonce is the greatest, most talent in the entertainment business. There is not one woman out there that can top her. She is going to kill it in New Orleans on Feb 3. Great Job Queen B. You are simply the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u think?? think again!
There is no greater than King Bey! She nailed it.. but did you expect???? Its the KING homie!!
Beyonce killed it- LOVE HER!!!
prerecorded but eh.
Thought I was the only one who caught that…
That’s our hometown girl!
Normally wouldn’t have nothing bad to say about Bey but she was i ight its wasn’t that good though I’be hard done way better by other artist.
Also Beyonce is starting to look just like her mother.
yes she is, she looking just like Tina these days
I concur!! I thought it was Tina at first LOL
She did a great job and so did Kelly Clarkson, but noone will ever touch Whitney Houston’s performance of the anthem during the Superbowl!!!1
Girl!! U better say that then!!!!
@ I so agree, Jeloi!! You said it, girl!
Loved Beyoncé’s dress! I hope she enjoys her time at the White House & aroun the president becuz after 2016 them white folks ain’t EVER gonna let her & Jay near the Oval Office again!
you aint never lied..
she did good, but no one will ever touch Marvin Gaye or Whitney Houston version of Star spangled Banner.
Yes indeed! I almost wish they would stop asking recording artists sing it at huge events anymore because they are all trying to either duplicate or imitate those two performances… They should just have a band play it instead.
lol that marvin gaye performance was sexy as hell! he turned the star spangled banner out!
Simply stunning…..except for that gawd awful washed out blonde hair. Great job
nevertheless!
I am a Bey Fan but I must say this was not the best arrangement. People are always saying that the National Anthem is a hard song to sing not really my 3yr old neice sings this song. Bey did good but she did not do great.
please spare me the you a hater comments because I love Bey.
Bey did good not gr8. I love her to death but Kelly Clarkson. did a FANTASTIC job
Look at Bey acting like she can read sheet music..I see you, gurl. Her performance was aight, but Kelly tore that thang down. Too bad she will be overshadowed by the Beyhive hype.
Beyonce really is a proverbial Lil Magic from In Living Color. I can almost hear Tina Knowles voice going on and on about what an honor it was for her to perform. And Lil Magic just parrots her. Lil Magic was up there acting like a singer instead of there to just do her job. I give her performance a C. She articulated well but her voice was just eh. When will Lil Magic grow up? Will she ever have an original thought and be able to express it?
U know u are TOO FUNNY for that!!! I had to google lil magic and I just finished laughin my ass off!!!
Ms. Smile Brite 1987….cheeeeeese! Lord, did I just so my age?! Too funny!!!
Leave the beyonce jokes alone…the media need to cut her and her husband some slack….damn…can she do one song without being criticized. Stay blessed bey…:)
She was the amazing, beautiful and I loved it.
That’s why she was there to sing it. She nails it every time.
She did amazing…..but I wonder will the Obama’s and Carter’s be as cool once this term is over.
Wasn’t No Fire N It,4Example If WhitneyHouston Ha Done It
(God Bless Her Soul,Amen)It Woulda Been Blazing,She WouldTook Em 2Church,Amen….
What Nippy and MJ were graced with only comes around once in a lifetime. Mrs. Carter did an excellent job being herself for her friend our POTUS. A beautiful day today.

Who would have thought this. A black girl from Texas and a black boy from the projects of NYC, would be guest of honors at the White House. Times are changing, people better start making moves or get left behind.
Amazing amazing amzaing. Even if it was prerecorded, Queen B was the one that recorded it so….still AMAZING! I would like to hear Tamar (Braxton)sing it for the next go round. I know she would knock it out the box as well.
@Stayfly IA looking like her mom. Beyonce,s voice is so beautiful and she did a good performance.
