Beyonces Talent

When she sang at the inauguration?

A lot of people sang at the inauguration. Do we hate James Taylor now too?

I've always hated James Taylor.

I don't think they were ready for this jelly because her body was too bootylicious.

You didn't get the memo? Maybe it was just assumed that people already hated him. I mean, he's a sandal wearing, granola crunching hippy from Massachusetts!

And I don't care who Alicia Keys voted for or where she sang, I still wanna do her on a grand piano.

That's the issue, she did NOT sing at the inauguration. She faked it. That's why she garnered so much hate.

From what I understand , she sang along with a pre-recorded track... But she did sing.

Yep, the lip syncing claim has been thoroughly debunked:

She admitted that she lip synched. She didn't feel confident in her performance and didn't want to make a mistake, so she lip synched. She may have sang along to help the illusion, but her microphone was not on.

Actually, I can understand being afraid of blowing it at an important event.
Not like she's the first to do it.

Alicia Keys? Man, you wanna talk about over-rated . . .

Gotta agree with Alphaman and Garamet. Unlike many of today's pop divas, Beyonce can freakin' sing. Doesn't hurt that she's beautiful as a mountain sunrise, either.

I don't think I've ever even heard her sing. I just think she's beautiful.

Chocolate sunrise, Lanzman. Chocolate sunrise.

But her speaking voice grates on my ears with that horrible ghetto accent.

Hey, she's a working black person. Her music sucks but at least she's out there. Good for her.

All I know, is I like Kelly Rowland in "Freddy vs. Jason", better than Beyonce in "Goldmember".

"Goldmember", got the bigger ad campaign.

"We all" are not complaining. Grout's complaining. He's a category of one.

Shit music. Nice ass.

My biggest problem with Beyonce and many artists like her is that even the ones like her who have great pipes, "lessen" their sound with all the dancing and such. They don't sing as well when they're exerting themselves so much. Standing still, she's got an amazing voice. Dancing and running around so much? It's still pretty good, but it's not nearly as strong and powerful.

But that's been going on for nearly 25 years, if not longer.

Double damn... now your post reminded me you haven't died yet...

Makes me think of this:

you really are a dimwit aren't you.. 2 pages of responses and I am the only complainer..

what an ass

If you think the Who has any reason to still exist, then you are hopelessly lost in the fuzziness of dementia. They were (emphasis on past tense) a great band. Now they are an embarrassment to themselves and their fans. A real Who fan wishes Daltry and Townsend had followed Keith Moon.

now how fuckin stupid is that to say....

While I'm a big fan of Bohemian Rhapsody, I don't think it's entirely fair to compare the chorus of Beyonce's song to a song that...doesn't really have a chorus. Choruses by nature are repetitive. There is a part of Bohemian Rhapsody that gets just as repetitive, the whole "will you let me go? NO! We will not let you go!" part. Still, leagues ahead of Beyonce's song.

This says it all:

And yet "we will rock you", is pretty fuckin' repetitive.

Better yet, "Body Language."

Some real fuckin' Shakespeare, there.

First of all, I didn't know - or care - that she 'sung' at Black Jesus' second coming.

Second of all, who in the bloody fuck is Mike Doughtry? He doesn't know jack shit and spending three pages posting pictures of videos and pleading his case makes me think he's trying a little too hard to protect the messiah's reputation.

Beyonce has regularly been accused of lip synching. You don't run around like that and not get out of breath. Period.

Perfect match by the way. A phony singer for a phony president.
