The “board feed” of Beyonce’s November appearance on the Today show has been leaked to the Internet, and judging by what we can hear, the multi-platinum selling artist would struggle to make it past the first round on American Idol.
The board feed — — essentially the unedited, raw audio being picked up by Beyonce’s mic — has the singer struggling to stay on pitch, off-key, and having some seriously cringe-worthy moments when she stretches for the high notes. Of course, if you watched her Today show performance, you didn’t hear any of that, leading many to the suspicion that she was essentially lip-syncing to a pre-recorded track.
Beyonce’s father says that the audio is fake. In an angry statement to TMZ, he says that anyone questioning his daughter’s ability to sing is like “questioning is Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot.”
“If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them.
If no one took the time to listen to Beyonce sing ‘America the Beautiful’ and ‘At Last’ at the Neighborhood
Ball for the first dance of President Obama and the First Lady, and they question Beyonce’s vocal ability, they’ve gotta be an idiot.
At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability.
That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered.”
What do you think? Was this audio the awful truth or an epic prank? Listen and Vote Below!
