Will Beyonce address lip-synching rumors pre-Super Bowl?

Beyonce is previewing her Super Bowl halftime show Thursday but she’s likely to face a different kind of music over her alleged lip synching performance at the presidential inauguration earlier this month.

The “Single Ladies� singer will be involved in a pre-game press conference at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on Thursday where she’ll likely address claims from the Marine Band that she wasn’t actually singing her rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner� live, according to the Associated Press.

Other topics of discussion will likely include a potential reunion with “Destiny’s Child� partners Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams and her upcoming HBO documentary “Life Is But a Dream,� which airs Feb. 16 and will be previewed for media before the press conference Thursday.

The 31-year-old, who is married to rapper-producer Jay-Z and has a baby named Blue Ivy, has been busy online: The singer posted a photo of herself wearing a sweatshirt with “Can I Live?� written on it, which some have interpreted as her first response to the lip-synching allegations. But it could also be a tease to her husband’s track by the same name.

Can we expect Jay-Z to join her on the halftime show stage? We’ll have to wait and see.

But all the speculation isn’t taking away from her excitement/publicity fest. She also posted a promo shot on her Tumblr page of herself dressed as a referee, another holding a football marked with “XLVII� and some intimate black-and-white images of her rehearsing for the highly anticipated show.

What do you think Beyonce will say?

[Update 2:15 p.m.: Beyonce kicked off the press conference in New Orleans belting out the national anthem. She then confirmed that she used a pre-recorded track during the inauguration because she is a “perfectionist,� adding that she “absolutely� plans to sing live during this Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show.
