There has been so much hubbub about Beyonce lip-synching the National Anthem. If indeed she chose not to sing live, I have to admit I'm a little curious why. At the same time, it's not like the Milli Vanilli revelation. Whether she sang live or not, that was her voice and Beyonce did "perform," even if it was, as RuPaul always says, that she was "lip-synching for her life."
All of this "National Anthem" talk has me thinking about other memorable performances like the ones by Roseanne Barr and Whitney Houston. A couple of renditions that you may not remember were performed by track star, Carl Lewis and R&B legend, Marvin Gaye.
