At today's Super Bowl press conference, Beyoncé proved the critics, nay-sayers, and yes, haters, wrong. The singer and notable diva took the stage, asked the audience to stand, and launched into a lip-sync-free acapella version of THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER. Check out her performance below!

In regards to her performance at President Obama's inauguration, which launched this whole 'back-track/lip-sync' societal diversion, she succinctly said: "I am a perfectionist." And as such, didn't want to run the risk of performancing enhancement-free during such an event.

This Sunday, "I will absolutely be singing live," she confirmed. "I am well-rehearsed. This is what I was born to do."
