Beyonce's Dad Was Right -- Hoax, Hoax, Hoax!!!

Posted Apr 22nd 2009 3:00PM by TMZ Staff

Beyonce Beyonce has officially been cleared of all bad singing charges -- the atrocious supposed "board mix" of her performance on "The Today Show" last year was altered after all.

Just as Mathew Knowles told us, the audio clip that many people believed was leaked from "Today" was indeed a fake.

In fact, TMZ found the person behind the prank who was surprised it went as far as it did, saying, "It's a little bit crazy. No one in their right mind would sound like that, and no one would cheer for someone singing like that."

Apparently, the dude never went to an Ashlee Simpson concert...

5. She still sounds shrill and shrieky even in the studio perfect version of the song.
And with the way music is blasted over the coms one couldn't hear screaming or a gunshot, much less a mediocre singer
singing "live" - the inauguration is a bad example to cite to try and prove her vocal abilities. Studio wizardry and the
fame of too many talentless or mediocre beauties is why this story took off the way it did.

6. Once again Howard Stern tries to ruin someone's career with a hoax audio tape. All in the name of ratings.

7. I thought it was fake because Beyonce backup singers sing most of her songs or she just dancing and doesn't even pretend to sing but she does lip sync remember the Oscar's and the VMAs...Beyonce a fake song writer to and won a award for it how much input could she have when she working with that many co-writers.

15. Beyonce lip-synch during Obama’s inauguration ball and during the concert on the mall. When Star Jones interviewed her on the set of the Larry King Live, she admitted that there's always two people in the studio with her (the engineer and herself). It's on youtube!

How can someone talk like a man but their singing voice is totally different? Is she taking hormone pills so that her voice can sound more "feminine"?
