The audio tape that Howard Stern & co. played on their Sirius radio show yesterday of Beyonce Knowles sounding like an American Idol reject has turned out to be bogus.
The audio clip, which was supposedly taken from a raw sound board recording from her Today Show appearance, may have been altered to make Beyonce sound off key.
TMZ claims they located the person who made the tape (how did they do that?) and the person reportedly said, “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.”
Daddy Knowles was pretty worked up about the entire thing and went on record to stand up for his meal ticket daughter.
“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.”
If you listened to the recording, you also heard Howard play a clip of Enrique Iglesias destroying his hit song, “Rhythm Divine.” Again, he couldn’t hear himself and concert goers were hearing the prerecorded version. So it does happen, and that’s why I thought the recording was genuine.
When you can’t hear your voice, it’s hard to know what you are sounding like, right? I still wonder if the Knowles family didn’t pay someone off to say they they made it, because believe me, cover-ups and scapegoats are only a a dollar amount away in Hollywood!

That old tape of Enrique Iglesias allegedly singing badly was a hoax too!!! Enrique even went on Howard Stern’s show and proved that he can sing. Why don’t you check your facts before you trash a great singer who always sings live at his concerts? Have you ever been to an Enrique concert? Well, if you haven’t then you need to shut up and not talk about things you don’t know!!
That is 100% not true. The Enrique tape WAS him. Yes, Enrique went on Stern, but to prove he really could sing. He ADMITTED he couldn’t hear himself at that show, AND that his prerecorded shit was piped in. He was screaming, not singing. Why don’t you go check your facts, sweetheart.
hey beyonce is amazing and she CAN sing so i think people should just leave her ALONE!!!!
