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.
[Listen to the clip HERE.]
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!
