Beyonce's Daddy to Haters: You're All Idiots

Beyonce Knowles Beyonce's dad is on the warpath against the people attacking his daughter for the supposed "board mix" audio of B singing at "The Today Show" -- claiming all doubters of her ability are "idiots."

In a fiery statement to TMZ, Mathew Knowles, who's also Bey's manager, says his daughter was set up. It's one of the best statements we've ever gotten.

"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."

1. If you listen to them you can clearly tell they are altered... the screechy voice has different tones than she does...

4. Before Beyonce's father releases a statement, he should find a proofreader. "...they've gotta be an idiot."

He has personally raised more idiots than that...I know of at least 2...

5. Kobe Bryant!?? Sorry, Laker fans but *that* is a bad analogy. Rapist! I knew pro athletes back in the day and they always think below their waists.

7. If they were clearly altered then wouldn't that be in defense of the fact that she can't sing? I mean everybody's got some talent but even the best want the easy way out

8. He is obviously the one altered. Just because it's live tv doesn't mean that she was the one singing, since live tv is delayed by a few seconds, she could still have been lip-syncing

10. They all admitted to submitting the pre-recorded backups 2 weeks before for approval. They had to. We all went over this with the string quartet. Almost everything was pre-recorded during that whole week. Sure Beyonce can sing...but she can also sing better with three more of her piped in under the mix.
Who cares?

12. The biggest Inauguration in the history of America. Obama spent $176 MILLION (or should I say WE did) for his inauguration. It's great to see he cares so deeply for the people losing everything they have. $176 Million would have helped a lot of people.
Thanks
