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

BeyonceBeyonce 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...

46. Totally disappointed. Either way I still don't care for Beyonce, nor her funky, jerk-like motions she calls dancing!! I bet that really was her "singing" TMZ just doesnt want to deal with "her people" What a shame!!

47. I don't think anyone in their right mind could believe for one second that that tape was for real. I mean, seariously? Are there really people out there who listened to that and honestly would say they couldn't hear the messing around someone did with it? God bless you, if you did, becuase you'd be one clueless fool who deserves to be thought of as a great big dumbass. I mean, really...

48. God people are so ridiculous. Maybe you dont like her but how can you actually say she sucks?
She has a lot of vocal talent, and she actually does write a large amount of her songs.
People talk bad about her for the songs she didnt write when really she writes more of her own stuff than the majority of stars these days.

49. And all of the people who believe that dumb rumor about her being 33 or whatever? you're pathetic.
And the people who call her a media whore? she's rarely in the news? wtf.
Jeeze, Im not even a big beyonce fan but you people are unbelievable.

50. BEYONCE WILL BE KNOWN AS THE LIP SYNC DIVA AND HOW TECHNOLOGY RUINED AN INDUSTRY. SHE WILL BE THE HEADLINER OF CBS MYSTERY - 48HR PRESENTS.

51. Who cares?.The bitch is ashamed of her race to begin with.Any black woman that goes for white women flowing blonde hair is a traitor to her race.Beyonce looks more like a white woman that a black woman.Black people want to be proud of their race but the black women turn their back on their race by trying to look like white women more and more.I laugh everytime I see one of these undefined bitches.Neither black nor white but neutral.He,he,he.....

52. If she really could sing... her father wouldn't have bothered writing TMZ... what was he afraid of? people investigating his fat-arsed daughter's voice a little more closely... scrutinizin' the Bison?
If she's such a great singer... why was he so threateded... ASK YOURSELVES THAT... then get back to me.

55. Beyonce does have singing talent and don't believe for one second that the recording of her horrible voice is a fake. Beyonce cannot sing.

58. Anyone with an ear for music can hear the change in pitch due to post production manipulation.

59. I call shenanigans...

If TMZ "found the person behind the prank", who is it? How did he do it? And why?

Or did someone just pay off the right people to say it was a hoax? I'll bet Beyonce and her label have pretty big PR budgets...

60. @"D"# 32. Y'all are so stupid. Beyonce is a vocal genius.

WOW, vocal genius???? I need to remind myself that Beyonce fans are little kids (yes 20's is considered a kid, even though I am 31) and they have NEVER heard REAL singers. Umm, does anyone remember AAliyah??? If she was still alive we NEVER WOULD HAVE HEARD of BEYONCE! She is only popular because this generation has had not talent since the late 90's. Beyonce is a FILLER for the ADD/ADHD world of singers and fans. There is NO REAL MUSIC anymore.
MARY J. BLIGE is a real ass singer, she SINGS during the filming of her videos!!! No lip syncing for a REAL SINGER!!!
Please go grab Anita Baker or Billie Holliday, listen, then come back and talk about real music.
