Beyonce gave a flawless, powerful performance of the "Star Spangled Banner" at President Obama's inauguration on Monday, but it turned out that the most impressive part of her act was her acting -- she lip-synched the entire song! We asked you SodaHeads if you lost respect for her as an artist after hearing this news, and it was a close vote but the majority (54%) of you voted "No." However, while the overall vote was close, there was a clear divide in certain demographics. Curious? Read on.
ALL THE SINGLE LADIES
60% of singles and 57% of women voted that they haven't lost respect for Beyonce. Men also supported her (56%), but more married people (53%) lost respect than not. Maybe Beyonce's "Single Ladies" anthem is inspiring enough to trump any disappointment in her performance...
PARENTS AREN'T SO PROUD OF BEYONCE
53% of parents lost respect for the singer after the inauguration while the majority of all the other groups (people who don't have children, people who don't want children, etc) still maintained respect for her. Perhaps parents hold Beyonce to a higher standard since she is a role model for their kids.
SUPPORT FROM THE LIBERALS
Interestingly enough, there was a clear political divide on this question. 68% of liberals didn't lose respect while 59% of conservatives voted that they did. Beyonce and her rapper hubby Jay-Z are HUGE Obama supporters, so maybe that is more important to liberals than whether she lip-synchs or not. It would be interesting to see the results had this been Romney's inauguration...

+19Lets get real here: Conservatives didn't vote out of a dislike for lip syncing. The voted for the worst option they could find because they saw something tangentially related to Obama, and needed to point as much hate at it as they could manage. That's the only factor at play here.
whatever
but worse is Obama, he's a witty deceptive crook.
