Members Angela Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Ah, so this makes me wonder just how good she is at this art then IF it's proven accurate. There's no reason to believe it isn't accurate due to the original source, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Money Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 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.

Members Cheap21 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 At the end of the day Beyonce sung the lyrics. It is what it is honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted January 23, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 It doesn't matter, we are just talking degrees of deception. I want to hear a singer sing, not hear her say "let me play you one of my records". Recordings are how shall we say it...produced? Maybe any detectable flaw or imperfection wiped clean?

Members Cheap21 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/beyonce-lip-sync-controversy-aretha-franklin-laughed/story?id=18289912 This is exactly right, there is a technical aspect to singing and the temperature can make the difference. Cold can dry out your throat, which makes hitting high notes hard and sustaining them even less possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 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.

Members Angela Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Well at least this lip-syncing controversy will overshadow the fact that she and Jay wore furs. I'm sure PETA will put them on their Worst-Dressed list though, and try to clown her for the lip-syncing thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Money Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Aretha weighs in. LOL at her passive aggressive defensive of Beyonce. http://gma.yahoo.com/aretha-laughed-beyonce-lip-sync-controversy-034034595.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 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.

Members alphanguy74 Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzQnPz6TpGc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM1avmMR84U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
