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."

62. Everybody knows its not doctored. She came to my home town and my company was in charge of her audio. She can really sing. She's even better in person. Howard Stern is such a mutt!

66. 48. I am music producer and her vocals were obviously altered. To industry professionals this is obvious, but to those not into recording records I see how you could think she just sang that bad. Obviously doctored.

69. HOWARD DOESN'T ALTER CRAP ON THE SHOW!!! IF HE DOES HE SHOWS YOU THE BEFORE AND AFTER - ALWAYS. THEY HAD A SIMILAR TAPE OF ENRIQUE IGLESIAS DOING THAT A FEW YEARS AGO. ENRIQUE WENT INTO THE STUDIO WITH HOWARD AND ADMITTED IT WAS HIM. HE THEN SANG THE SONG AGAIN TO PROVE HE COULD SING AND HE DID FINE FOR AN A CAPELLA. THE TRUTH! EAT IT PAPA KNOWLES. I HIGHLY DOUBT PAPA WILL BOOK BEYONCE ON HOWARD TO PROVE SHE CAN SING. LOL.

70. is this really a suprise to anyone??? hardly any star sings live these days without a pre-recorded tracking vocal. Beyoncee is a manufactured pop star. her image has been carefully crafted and the public manipulated into thinking she is better than she actually is. She is NOT a huge talent. It is not unusual for a singer to sing along while they lip synch to their tracking vocal and when they do this, they are rarely in tune with the song. So this is what she did and the board tech pulled all of the channels including her singing along. To her defense, I am sure she wasn't really trying to sing to the song and making her best efforts, but her camp should just explain it for what it is rather than denying it. Her vocal definitely tracks the song note for note. It is not a fake. She just got caught as a lip syncher. Big deal. No story here.

71. It has been confirmed that Beyonce did mime a pre-recorded track during her performance of "At Last" for the Inaugural Ball. Same with Yo-Yo Ma and Bruce Springsteen during their contributions to the festivities. The Academy of Motion Pictures also said that there were portions of her performance during the Oscars which were pre-recorded, given the nature and complexity of live broadcasts, etc.

The bottom line: Can she sing? Sure. She's a great performer. Can she provide the clean, polished vocals and performance her CDs and video's boast in person and in public? No way. She's an ENTERTAINER and therefore the product of mixers, audio wizards, nips, tucks and Photoshop. She's basically the same as any other cookie-cutter popstar.

74. DADDY IS IS DENIAL! HIS BIG (ASS/THIGH) BABY BEYONCE COULD NEVER SING! ASK ETTA JAMES! HER VOICE HAS CRACKED AND IF IT WERE NOT FOR BIMBOS BUYING HER MUSIC SHE WOULD BE SELLING SHOES AT JC PENNY. I'VE NEVER BOUGHT ONE THING WITH HER LIKENESS OR IMAGE ATTACHED. DADDY KNOWS THAT UNLIKE ALICIA KEYS, SOMEONE WITH AUTHENTIC TALENT, BEYON(D)CE MUST GET NAKED BEFORE SHE HITS THE STAGE. TELL THE TRUTH, BEYON(D)CE BEGGED THE OBAMAS TO BE ANY PART OF HIS INAUGURATION, AND SHE SCREWED THAT UP TO! BEHIND(CE) COULD NEVER SING! I have no more time to spend on UNEDUCATED imbecils like DADDY DENIAL! SAYONARA!
