Is This Beyonce?

Posted Thu 23 Apr 2009 4:32PM BST by Johnny Famethrowa in Touching The Void

There is no escape for the fraudulent pop act these days. With so many weasels on the make and countless global platforms to expose the star who can't sing, play or even stand, anyone wishing to make it big needs to watch their back. In recent years, Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson are but two of our pop icons accused of not being fit for purpose. Even Kayne West was recently castigated when his auto-tune malfunctioned on "Saturday Night Live", exposing what sounded like a man being attacked rather than singing.

Well, now it's Beyonce's turn. US radio jock Howard Stern played a recording on his show yesterday which he claimed was the ‘board mix' of her singing "If I Was A Boy" on the "Today" show last year. The hideous results suggest the former Destiny's Child has about as much singing ability as Famethrowa's cat. Beyonce has now responded, calling the allegations about her vocal talents "completely ridiculous", while her father and manager Matthew Knowles has released a statement, in which his anger is clear.

"If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them", he said. "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." So this is a hoax, right?
