And Now Your Beyoncé Caterwaul of the Day

Apr 22nd, 2009
by B-Side.

Sometimes (or rather, quite often) when musicians perform live these days, they sing along to pre-recorded versions of their song. This way they always sound right, even if they’re dancing and out of breath or simply having an off-day. Case in point: Beyoncé, who sung along to track on a recent Today Show appearance. The audience at home (and in the crowd) heard a perfectly normal version of “If I Were A Boy,” but what Beyoncé actually sounded like was a whole different story. In the clip above, Howard Stern and his posse snicker — justifiably so — at leaked footage from the Today Show of Beyoncé real voice during the performance, which was recorded from her mic but never played over the airwaves. If you ask me, it’s not much worse than the original…
Thanks to IndianJones for sending me the clip…
UPDATE: It was all a hoax! Phew!! Read more details here.

    That first botched high note made me do a spit take with the turkey and white bean chili.
    I think my ears are bleeding now.

    Thanks a lot. Now I have to go by all new glasses. Tangentially, I’m so glad I no knowledge or experience of/with pop music, or pop r&b or whatever this dreck is. If I were a boy? Well, I’d slit my wrists if I sounded like this bitch.

    Hey, I’m eating chili too! Spooky.
    I’m starting to think Etta James’ rant was fairly reasonable now.

    Well, I’ve heard her sing in person w/out backing and she sounded amazing, so I find this kind of interesting.
    I also read on my friend’s Facebook page that the person who made the sound board video has just confirmed to PerezHilton.com that it is indeed fake.
