I watched it... she sounded good, then took liberties with the melody in the middle of it, and added too much melisma in the last half. And I've noticed EVERY member of Destiny's child does not know how to hold a microphone! She hold it so you cannot see her mouth when they take the frontal camera shot. She looks like she's gonna deep throat the thing. Your'e supposed to hold it about a inch below your chin, darlin...

The Obamas don't care that Beyonce stole the spotlight because she didn't. Her singing was not even close to upstaging the inauguration. Dramatically removing the ear piece knowing that she lip synched seems arrogant to me since the moment was not authentic. I don't but the excuse that it was too cold to sing live. Celebrities do it all the time so her issue was playing it safe akin to laziness.

Really who cares? I dont get why people get all up in arms when stars lip sync. Its not like she cant sing and she's done so PLENTY of times like. This is just some stupid sh-t to throw shade on her

Wow, Milli Vanilli? So now you are saying Beyonce faked the vocals on all her albums bc thats what Milli Vanilli did, NOT B. There is no comparison between the two acts. Britney shouldnt even be mentioned in the same breath as them as she sings all her vocals as well. She doesnt pretend to use another person's voice

Yes it does matter. Compare her to Britney Spears but not Milli Vanilli bc itsnowhere in the same category. She wasnt doing one of her shows here. People didnt pay to hear her sing. This was an event that wasnt even about her. She sings live at her shows but even if she did lip sync, I dont see it as being a big deal. Most singers that lip sync do so bc singing and dancing at the same time is difficult, so you can either half ass both or compromoise and focus on one. Beyonce doesnt walk across the stage. She MOVES and puts on a damn show. People go to her for a performance and she gives them an experience. Has she ever lip synced during one of her concerts? I cant say she hasnt but Ive seen her sing and dance live and she was amazing

The only issue with that argument is that the cold did not hinder the other singers from singing live, so her critics will continue to slight her as a "less than" vocal technician. James Taylor's voice and range can more easily glide through the cold, however. And as for Kelly Clarkson, she noticeably started MCTOT in her lower register, which sounded efforted, allowing her voice the space to climb to those top notes.

My only issue with it is the flare she was throwing into it. If she really was using playback and basically lip-syncing it is the flare (the ear-piece moment)that makes me laugh solely because I didn't know she was like that.

Beyonce is a beautiful and talented singer and dancer, nothing changes that.

Similarly, When you sing the National anthem, that is what one has to do... those lowest notes in the song ("say", and "Gleaming", and "Stripes") need to be sung as low as you can muster, so you won't be out of your range when it comes to the high notes. The biggest thing for me, is this is a black woman singing for the first black president. She needed to bring her AUTHENTIC self for the performance, even if it wasn't perfect, it needed to be GENUINE... and that was the upshot of Aretha's point. And it was sunny and 46 degrees.. it ain't all that cold. If it was 25... then maybe. Let's keep in mind when Aretha makes comments about not being able to sing well in cold weather, this is a woman who makes the venue shut the air conditioning off when it's 90 degrees outside.

Reading this makes me sad. The laziness and greed of today's entertainment industry has manipulated you, and conditioned you to accept LESS THAN. That's why many won't accept that. We accepted people lip synchin on American basdstand because it was a show created to promote RECORDS, but NEVER would we dream of accepting lip synching at a live concert or live event years ago. And the concept that you either dance or sing, and you can't do both proficiently is a bunch of hooey.

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      Please register in order to view this content

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.

      Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
