See, She Can Sing Live!
Filed under: Beyonce
CLICK HERE to watch Beyonce's performance of Halo from last night's Late Show with David Letterman!
The Internets was ablaze yesterday with a video that purported to have a sound board recording of Beyonce from the Today show sounding like shit in your ears.
We confirmed that the "sound board recording" was a fake. And, now, the Perezcious reader who made it is speaking out.
Why/default.jpg"/>The Man Who Butchered Beyonce
A Worthwhile Cause
Was there a doubt? Please she sang live for Barbra Streisand..pitch perfect!
Meh. WGAS/WGAF. Overrated at best.
She can sing a little but she is entirey overrated.
nice
I have someone at work who plays this song over and over and over again and I cannot STAND IT!!!!! I am from Houston, and I am so sick of Beyonce and her mediocre voice.
Great ass!
of course she can!
shes beyonce!
you doubting her was tooo stupid
Ick! Her voice was as flat as Samantha Ronson's chest!!! I think Beyonce is losing what little talent she had
I'm so sick of hearing this bitch yell….
Re: Miley Cyrus…The Princess of All Media – you name is a joke i hope…
Ick! Her voice was as flat as Samantha Ronson's chest!!! I think she's losing what little talent she had
That copy of the board from the Today show was real. Of course she can sing. But she can't always sing perfect. When they are singing to a track they go through auto tune and are barely audible above the backing track. Only when they talk to the crowd. This isn't always the case though. She is just doing cleanup duties now. Enrique Iglesias had to do it also.
the backup signers sing better than her!
Helloooo she sang LIVE for Barbra Streisand's Kennedy Center honors…pitch perfect!
I'm eating my words and buying my ticket.
Perez how much was that guy paid to claim he did that?
And how much were you paid to kiss Beyonces ass today?
Which is it? Does she suck at singing or is she good?
She has an amazing voice. I think people that knock her skills just don't like HER. She gives 110% to each performance, and you can tell she feels the music in her body. She never half asses it.
that was…AWESOME!!! LOVE that song!
Re: Blind Baby – Re: Blind Baby –
The "sound board" thing was a hoax. The person that created it and several others has admitted it. Are you the last to know?
get it bey!!!!
that was such a good performance. she sang very well. Everytime i see someone perform on a late show. they stink. but she was very good. and her outfit is nice. stop the hate.
Re: JigSaw – JigSaw, It's no joke. TV, Movie(s), Voicework, Book, CD's…She's #1 at everything she does. Don't hate on me for liking Miley. I think you and LizardKing are the 2 best on this site.
wonder what her top ticket price will be on her new tour? the Obsessed tour?!?!?!?
110% to each performance is 10% too much
she becomes a caricature of herself. ridiculous. she becomes like celine dion
Re: Miley Cyrus…The Princess of All Media – Are you the last fan of Miley Cyrus? You must be on school vacation this week
Re: chandler02 – Yeah I still think this guy was paid to say that. Either way she still needs to shave her armpits
say what u want…she is amazing !
Oh gosh, Britney Spears can sing better than her live. and she wasn't even dancing!!!!
ugh!!! beyonce. beautiful and talented. truly.
and why do i not own that dress. that is a fabulous dress.
Shut the fUck up FAT BODY~! this is mixed, just like every performer has audio mixers for their performances. The true test is her in a room with no microphone. She is lip syncing this shit you can see it when she pulls the mic away, the audio keeps going for a second afterwards. She is obnoxious and just like Kanye I await the day South Park puts her dumb ass in check.
As for you fat body…your day of reckoning will come you disgusting piece of trash. Go shove that gerbil up your ass buddy.
She sounds like shit
evalinia, buffymybasset……lets hear you cd's that are famous…….oh wait…..you are stupid bitches that probably can't sing…..so stop the hating just because you are jealous. Beyonce is great.
I think she can definately sing, but can she stop the wind machine and attempt at dancing!
Re: dmddmd – I love you
Re: broadwaybound55 – Hooker please! I can fart a better melody than what she can sing! Suck it, jealous
LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!
Still doesn't look like she is really singing that song. I think it is another lip syncing incident. This proved nothing to me.
HA!!! dave goofed!!!! he said at the end, "I am SARA Fierce"
that's awesome!!! beyonce was laughing at him!!!! 4:09!!!!!
LOVED IT!!!
I just watched it again and her mouth is definitely not moving to match the words being heard. And what is with the crazy dancing?
Re: LilyKay –
Britney sing good live? Ha! That is the funniest post ever!
Re: choco536 – I KNOW!!
She cut all the hard parts of the song - the low E at the beginning and the high notes, the back up singers are the ones who sound amazing
WHO CARESS! SHE STILL LIP SYNCS HALF HER PERFORMANCES. CANNOT DENY THAT PAPA KNOWLES!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: broadwaybound55 –
I hear more back up singer than Beyonce… and they sound better. I think people need to start giving THEM cred…
She cut out a lot of the hard notes in this live version too.. the low note at the begninning and the hogh "Ha-AA-lo" =)
Damn she shut those haters down! beyonce can sing I never doubted that she looked gorgeous too. By the way, beyonce is the only artist that can sing live and dance at the same time.
your the unreliable source that was giving Howard Stern praise for uncovering the "so-called-soundboard". even howard said your an idiot!
WOW! That was soooooooooooooooo AWESOME!!!!!! Her sister I saw in Concert in Austin TX. She rocked as well. That family has great genes!!!
She totally lip synched that.
I am not a hater of Beyonce and I actually like some of her songs, like Green Light,but, that was an okay performance. I agree with the person who wrote that the backup singers performed better because it's true. The fake, yes fake, audio of her singing at GMA had me laughing so hard. She can carry a tune, but she is not all that.
talented, but very overrated
not buying the story about the hoax. the audio was real. the arrogance of these fame whores will keep biting them in the ass until they stop it. they think they will never get caught because they look at "the fans" as lesser beings. they think people are too stupid to figure it out.
just fucking sing and let people decide for themselves if they like you or not. stop trying to force your creepy images down our throats and dictate to us what we like.
stop trying to act like you know something about politics, supporting a fascist liberal like obama in some self righteous attempt to come off as caring about the "middle class" all the while sucking 100's of dollars out of the pockets of the struggling middle class to consume your crappy fake entertainment.
i believe this video is her singing because it sounds really flat. that's how you know when they are singing.
She is no Susan Boyle! Tell ya that.
OH MY GOD I LOVE IT. MADE ME CRY. SO BEAUTIFUL AWESOME.
she's overrated, she's just and OK singer, not impressive at all
that was lipsynched DUH why do you think she was so animated and acting while singing? she had to mix it up! FOLLOW ME AT TWITTER.COM/KrisT23
Love her dress but not the huge hair
haha Letter said "I am SARAH FIERCE" instead of SASHA FIERCE lol even B laughed
skippedit
do you have a problem with obama or beyonce or the general concept of famous people or are you just upset that your talentless and she isnt? she is a good singer and i actually know what im talking about when i say that. the dancing was weird ill give you that, but she looks amazing and sounds amazing
and dont compare her to susan boyle cos they're completely different kinds of singers there isnt a universal voice that you have to have to be a good singer otherwise there would be no point cos everyone would just sound the same and there would be no point celebrating talent, which is all that people who like beyonce are doing, enjoying her talent. 'The fans' clearly dont have a problem with the inferiority of their position compared to hers, so just because you're not one of them, for whatever reason, it doesnt mean you have to reject celebrity culture on the gorunds of a person who actually can sing
SHE LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS LIP SYNCHING IN THIS! CHECK IT OUT AGAIN! SHE Has to catch up to the voice or it disappears while she's still singing! I totally believe she can't sing.
But………..even lip synced it was FLAT!
of course she can sing perez, dont be a fool. beyonce is the appitamy of fierce! this performance lived up to her hype. no wonder shes the queen of RnB. i love it x
I love this song! its my favorite!
wow, she's amazing!
Hey buffymybasset
What does you being from Houston have to do with anything? Except that it's true that women from Texan are airheads. Say what you want about her, but her voice is not mediocre. So shut your cougar hole.
BLIND BABY…YOU ARE FUCKING MORON.
When Beyonce finished singing, David said: "Sarah Fierce", not Sasha.
LOVE YOU GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL FATHER. I KNOW YOU KNOW THAT .
You guys also need to remember that she sings very difficult songs…she is an amazing singer becuase of her range; she isnt like other singers who try to get away with songs that are practically monotone.
WOW THAT WAS PERFECT BEAUTIFULLY DELIVERED
HAHAHA, Letterman says Sara Fierce.. not sasha.. too funny. humble mic check, 1, 2, 3
i hate her voice :S! in a concert she just scream! like a bitch!
SO BAD!
you an foolin' me girl. I never liked this cow, i wouldn't go to her show if it was for free…
wtf is up with her guitar player???!!!
uhh…i know, i know…
yes, they are black chiks
yes, they are chiks who can rock…*devil horn hands*
yes, they are bad ass…yada-yada-yada
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
but, whatup with the head-shakin' to a BALLAD?
they completely validate when people say that bey's ENTIRE SWAGGER comes across like trying-way-too-hard. (and, ok…when i say people, i.e. ME)
but, like…come on.
sheesh!
she sounds a little strained. i sing this song in my car all the time, so i can't complain too much.
he said sarah instead of sasha
over sang
Re: Miley Cyrus…The Princess of All Media – I SAID THE SAME THING . IVE BEEN LOOKING AT WHAT LIZARDKING AND MY FAVORITE JIGSAW, SAY AND THEY ARE HILARIOUS I WAS THE ONE WHO SAID I WAS JIGSAW'S #1 FAN. HOW STUPID IS THAT BUT HE IS SO DAM FUNNY. I COULD NOT HELP IT. LOL
beyonce is freaking awesomee
must admit. she's a great singer.
I am Sarah Fierce eh Dave? We'll let that one slide cause it was dark…beautiful singing…and I don't even like her music.
Que Wind Machine!!! lol
RIN ON THE ROX's LIVE version on YOUTUBE sounds WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
better than her singing her own song live. L O L =)
ahaha I second that Jigsaw!
why do people be hating on her??????????????? she can sing. shes always been able to sing. and she is beautiful. there is not argument there. her face is lovely and her body is banging. now, if you prefer stick ass bitches, instead of some ass, than you might disagree. but dont hate though.
HATERS!!!!!!
ALL OF YOU ARE HATERS!!!!!!!YOU WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO NOTHING, BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE LAZY!!!!
SHE WORKED HARD FOR THE LIFE SHE HAS…AND YOU ALL ARE LAZY IDIOTS WHO DO NOTHING BUT HATE!!
HOW CAN YOU TALK SHIT ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WITH AN EQUALLY AMAZING UNIQUE VOICE…SHE HAS AN ORIGINAL SOUND, VERY RECOGNIZABLE.
shes sings live better than most singers do these days.
her voice is OD annoying. holy shxt.
RELLLLAAAAAAXXXXXXXXX! she had ONEEEEE bad performance. seriously i seen her in live concert, she was AMAZING
she's so boring and you can she under the wig and the make-up that she's ugly ….sorry
She started off pretty bad and went off to better!
LOVES IT!!
She has an absolutely beautiful voice.
Her voice seems tired, or she's just trying too hard, I mean fuck 'em all !!! She really does sing very well …
Lets be honest here…the chick can NOT sing. She sucked at the Obama event and she sucked last night. Girls who cover this song on YouTube sing better in a natural environment than Beyonce does. She sounded like she was doing bad karoake. Let's just say thank god for voice modifiers on albums.
u cant deny shes a great performer regardless of what u think of her music.
was there ever any doubt?? Beyonce CAN sing. give her that. no question.
PS: SInging these songs are really taxing and thats why a lot of celebrities choose to sing live. why are people always hating. they wouldnt have a singing contract if they couldnt sing, well, except britney spears. lol
Re: LilyKay – God I can´t believe that there´s someone that ever heard Britney Spears singing LIVE *-* LOL gimme a break … plz stop to dream about it u just heard her playback … back to reality Beyonce really sings super well live specialy in shows … u see that she gives her max doing this.
amazing!
i dont understand how someone can say she has a mediocre voice!! beyonce is sooo amazing i cant even begin to grasp the idea that someone can be born that incredible in everyway!!!
Re: LilyKay – ok listen number 1, britney spears doesnt sing when she performs so theres no comparison and 2 she wasnt trying to dance this is a ballad what do you want her to do break out into full on ballet?? not soo much and theres no reason for everyone to hate on her shes one of the most amazing performers of our generation and even longer
