Beyonce delivers National Anthem at Obama's Inauguration

Beyoncé was among those honoring Barack Obama's second term at today's 57th Presidential Inauguration, delivering a graceful version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Inaugural Ceremony.

The singer kept it airy and soothing for most of the song before bursting open for a powerful finish. Beyoncé dealt with some sort of technical difficulty, removing her earpiece, though she recovered nicely.

James Taylor offered a shimmering, touching rendition of "America the Beautiful," and Kelly Clarkson joined the celebration, singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee."
