Beyoncé answered critics of her Inauguration Day performance the best way she could -- with another sterling performance of the national anthem.

The difference? On Thursday, it was live: She admitted during her news conference to talk about her performance for Sunday's Super Bowl's halftime show that when she performed for President Obama and the nation, she decided to sing to a prerecorded track because she didn't have time to practice. Calling herself a "perfectionist," she said she wanted the day to go off without a hitch. "I practice until my feet bleed and I did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra," she said, adding that she was also emotional that day. "Due to no proper sound check, I did not feel comfortable taking a risk. It was about the president and the inauguration, and I wanted to make him and my country proud, so I decided to sing along with my pre-recorded track, which is very common in the music industry. And I'm very proud of my performance."

It was the superstar's first public comments on her performance. Her rendition was critically praised, but it came under scrutiny after a representative from the U.S. Marine Band said Beyoncé, 31, wasn't singing live and the band's accompanying performance was taped.
