Beyonce without Auto-Tune
 

Howard stern played this recording of beyonce on the Today Show from the soundboard before the auto-tune software fixed her shit voice.

HILARIOUS!

hahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's great is that people are trying to defend her by saying "She didn't have to right set-up to here herself and all she had to go by was the track she had to sing to!"

Yeah, AND?!? For somebody who has made this much money off of singing, she should be able to go by that and sound amazing!

wow

That was painful, I couldn't listen to more than a minute of it.

I don;t give a fuck for R&B or soul music or slow jams, but it is fucking sad when someone as pathetic as Beyonce is compared in the music press with great actual SINGERS.

a great singer should be able to sing a capella, no music, no "backing track" and just bring a beautiful voice.
fuck this skeez. she never gives no love to Houston either, even though this is where she came up.

who cares what she sounds like, she's hot.

after seeing her nintendo commercial, I just want to pinch her cheeks***.

tap tap taptaptap




*** I'd much rather pinch her ass, but I'm afraid of Jay-Z. I'm not a bitch, and I surely don't want to be a problem.

Jay Z ain;t got nothin on yr robot skilllzzzz

that hurt a little

This is funny shit, however I would say it is her mime singing along to her own song and the engineer just captured that mic channel without sending to FOH. Either way this engineer should be nominated for a Nobel peace prize for exposing these fucking shams that are making millions out of having absolutely no talent.

"If I were a buoyyyy", well I guess you already are one!

that iglesias one is hilarious.

they got rid of his mole.

fixed, now you can click them...

Beyonce's miming was captured, and vaunted as her 'real' singing. You still have to get close to the note for an autotuner to sound right, otherwise you sound like this. The notion of the 'real' singer is all well and good, but PAs are much louder than they were in, say, Edith Piaf's days.

I'm not necessarily defending Beyoncé's talent, I'm saying that taking one recorded instance of her singing without the context and claiming she relies on an autotuner just means you don't know what an autotuner does. By which I mean - it searches for the nearest consonant note in a preset scale - if you're more than a note out (as this audio is) the sound that comes out would be wrong.

I'd suggest that the fact that Beyoncé's singing lower, as she is in the Stern clip, is more of an attempt to hear herself over whatever other sound is happening (because you can feel lower notes in your body better than you can high notes).

Glice is Solange in disguise

Well. It just seems to me to be entirely ridiculous to criticise one hyper-produced thing as 'fake' when the overwhelming majority of records are over-produced. ESPECIALLY when it's patently obvious to anyone who's seen SY live that none of them can hold a note for shit (ESPECIALLY Kim).
