: One of MediaTakeOut.com’s readers sent in the below video. It’s supposedly the unedited vocals from when Beyonce performed live on the Today Show.
We’re not sure what to make of it … but it’s definitely HILARIOUS!!!
Just to BE CLEAR - we ain’t the ones who made this video – so Beyonce stans ease back ….
are yall rly that gullible! this ish is straight edited! u can tell, u can hear her real voice in the background...u can hear the person who edited it laughin @1:10 besides i saw that show live(since its the today show)and she did NOT sound like that and if she did trust and believe we would notice it :)
why would yall even post something SO obviouslt fake. pointless. its clear its edited by a video program. millions of people have heard her sing live at concerts. and in all honesty no one hitting bad notes like that would even ever get signed to beging with. its super fake, lets be real. not even ashanti sings that bad.
Cadburys Offensive Trident Spoof of Linton Kwesi Johnson Cadburys Offensive Trident Spoof of Linton Kwesi Johnson
An offensive "Jafaican" marketing campaign for Cadbury’s new range of chewing gum is being investigated for racist anti-African content following a flurry of community complaints.
The anti-African TV advert, which was produced by advertising agency JWT, is to be investigated by the industries regulatory body, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). Ligali and the ASA have collectively received over a hundred complaints about the ad in which many complainants describe it as racist, degrading to African people and perpetuating a 'negative' stereotypical portrayal of Africans, in particularly those with Caribbean heritage.
JWT the company who produced the ad has stated that the campaign was approved in test trails and designed to reflect "dub poetry performers".
The advert, a feeble and patronising spoof of the renowned revolutionary artist Linton Kwesi Johnson, is based around a minstrel-like "comedian" using an exaggerated Jamaican accent to promote the chewing gum brand. The advert concludes with his transformation into a revolutionary "poet" whose chant "mastication for the nation" is targeted at all who will listen.
In its belligerent attempt to mock African culture, the campaign makes no attempt at an authentic portrayal and offensively draws upon several derogatory caricatures of African people to market the product. Subsequent parts of the campaign have now been launched using european actors to adopt what the media has dubbed a 'Jafaikan' accent. However it is the first part with its inclusion of subtle one liners for cheap laughs such as "10 years hard labour" and “Listen as you wash your undercrackers” that is said to also be an inappropriate abuse of the history of the Maafa such as anti-slavery and pro human rights movements.

@ Red_Trashy" .... No not at all punk!!! And besides my Phat *** booty goes nice with my screen name so I'm fine honey" my handsome black face don't matter boo!!! LOL .... Now on to your scary albino *** stanned face" tisk,tisk....SMDH" ........Just leave that avitar blank and let the MTO Readers keep there healthy eyes. LOL
Bigbooty1 girl you will never show that nasty blotchy face you dont have the coins to afford healthy skin care for that burnt charcoal face of yours! Anyways @guessjeans I hope that is not im hoping and praying thats yo old tired auntie or some crackhead bytch you know. I see why you are so jealous of Bey you dark skin mess!
Lol it's unbelievable that people actually think this is real. Come on, for what reason would she do those awful high pitched notes when they aint even in the song, and why would the crowd be getting into it. Also I think if she did sound like that then she would be miming all the time. I'll admit it is funny, but its sad amd worrying that the people who hate actually believe it's real.
Wow. The hate is ridiculous. First of all, if she sucked that bad she would've lip synced and second of all the video is so tacky. Whoever made this has got to be a miserable ugly loser who has no life, and MTO this is unprofessional because yall know it's fake but you're so jealous of beyonce it doesn matter. As long as it's something negative it's all good. I'm no Beyonce fan but the jealousy and immaturity is ridiculous and yall do it without shame.
Is there not anyone in here who knows anything about audio, and "live Performances"? I Guess not. When you see a rapper or a singer on stage and you think that they are singing live, most of the time they are not. Singers have pre-recorded "live Vocals" that they play at concerts and live performances, so if they are sick that day and they have to perform or if they just plain cant sing well live. (which is the case alot of the time) so what the crowd hears is not what the singer is singing into the mic, and it sounds like they are really singing live. This also gives them time to edit the vocals or maybe use autotune. This doesnt happen all the time, but most artists go this route nowadays. Lets face it, even some of the best singers sound like *** when they sing live, its reality, it has to do with acoustics, echo and a whole lot of other things. So for everyone that heard this and thought it was fake because precious beyonce cannot sound like this...Please.. You're wrong!!! Truth hurts. When you make statements at least know what you are talking about.--Kellz
Well actually when you listen to the back track she is harmonising with themain vocal so you hear in the audience the main vocal and she sings along with it so that it appears like she is really singing but as a musician I can hear that she is harmonising with the main vocal so when she says if I were a "BOY" in that high pitch it's actually two octaves higher than the actual song so it would just sound like a harmony to the audience.
It doesn't sound like she can't sing this is just doubling up the vocals all vocalists do this when performing live. If you had everyones actual vocals that they double up during a live performance it would sound alittle crazy. What the audience hears is the main track and the singer sings along to the (dat) kinda like how Jessica Simpson got caught up with the dat, and how milli vanilli got caught when their dat tape skipped.
It sounds kinda weird but i can tell it is her singing because no program even autotune wouldn't sound like that. it clearly sounds like she is going up an octave in her natural voice in certain parts.
This *** altered...I saw this performance. The bytch rode up in a Royce, got out shook hands, and approached the stage....She did 4 songs, sung her azz off. And the mini concert is still on the net
[link to external website removed]
And for you to put it up MTO...you fall for everything with you stupid azzes. Oh! but I forgot, you rip story from the enquirer, but you TOO SCARED TO TOUCH ON THE PLASTIC SURGERY ISSUE. Why scared to lose your bandwidth.
Wow!! somebody needs a life cuz they put a lot of work into making this fake vid. i cant stand bee, but i know she can sing her azz off! you can hear the levels changing in tone and that someone worked on it, but what confused me was the fact that the background music didn't change with the tone, and then i noticed the echo (which is in pitch) and realized something... whoever made this took the vocals and changed them, then put then on top of the song again. .. like I said, a LOT of work went into this... im not a total fan of hers, and i cant really stand her robotic-ness, but aint no way anyone can say anything about her talent
sure as hel ain't no bey fan but that can't be her. But at the same time she ain't all that if she was she would be afraid to do duets with real singers like keyshia mary jennifer hudson, and etc She afraid of being upstaged cuz she ain't that great. Notice she don't really sing with girls except that latin chick.
ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!
*** MTO, ya'll are some hatin' ***. You will do ANYTHING to bring down Beyonce. LOL Now, if ANYONE believes that video is real.... WOW. So, if she's live, and there are TONS of Beyonce fans there, how come there is no one screaming in the background? I guess everyone stayed quiet, right? How hard is it to tell that the tape was warped. LOL It doesn't even SOUND live.
That's some real hatin' ish right there, MTO. That's sad that all ya'll do in that office is try to bring someone down.
@Safari..I just had to put Dreamdoll in herthe other place over post with the tickets, she is tryin to let people believe Beyonce is performing at the 02 main arena which holds 20.000 seats, when in fact she is performing in the mini arena which holds only 2350 seats, which will indicate why she has sold out, again this not true if she is still having problems filling a small arena that hold that small amount of people this clearly shows she has flopped big time. My carnival group including myself performed at the opening ceremony in 2000 so i know the 02 has various outlets ,theres is no way in hell Beyonce could fill the 20.000 seat arena for four days.This is another crafty fraudulant ploy to mislead the public into thinking Beyonce is popular over seas which is not true she use to perform at Wembley arena a much bigger venue, so what does this say about Beyonce career, its over
@trixie Beyonce is so self absorbed that she refuses to believe that her shine is almost gone. I mean if she did that much ticket sales in a small amount of time then most media outlets would have said something. They were all over the place talking about how Micheal Jackson sold out. Anyways isn't Kelly more popular in Europe then Bey?
@trixie yeah Beyonce is fading day by day. And the problem is she is trying to cover it. I know us little bloggers on her is not a huge population but most of the bloggers on here are not that fond of Beyonce. That evil spirit she has is really being her downfall. I always said that when she treated Tavia and Toya like dogs, I knew it all would come back....Karma is something else and the Lord is even bigger. She's got to pay for her evil ways....I at least hope before she gets in her bed at *** that she repents.....because the first thing she has to do to turn her karma around is admit that she was wrong. I mean she talked about those girls bad and eve dedicated a song about it. Toya and Tavia acted very professional about the whole thing and never dogged them in the media. And her father isn't helping either.
@Safarr If dreamdoll never came at me i would be thinking she sold out all these seats at the o2 mainstage, one mind said let me just check which Arena she is performing in, lo an behold it was the mini one, had she just *** her mouth i would have been none the wiser, but as usual there is nothing ever straight forward with the clan Beyonce should be a Platinum artist according to her stans since she has been in the game 12 years with all the publicity an hype
@Safari You are so right, sadly i cant see this happening look how the knowles disrespected Etta James, *** Matty being an older person should have offered a public apology to this legend. First they made a movie without her consent, then Beyonce steals a song specifically written for Etta,then had the nerve to peform song in front of the President of the United State, trying to belittle Etta, *** Matty stood by and did or said nothing as a older man who should have understood the struggles folks went through during her early life. Beyonce is corrupt just like father as they say like father like daughter, this evil family have no respect for anyone's craft whether young or old.. kharma is on their doorstep.
I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS IS FAKE BECAUSE I WATCH TIS LIVE FROM NEW YORK WHEN SHE WAS PROMOTING HER NEW C.D ITS A DAM SHAME WHAT PEOPLE DO TO TRY AND MAKE PEOPLE LOOK BAD SHE BEEN IN THE GAME TO DAM LONG FOR US TO KNOW SHE CAN SING BETTER THAN THAT FAKE STUFF AND HOWEVER BELIEVE IT HAS A DAM PROBLEM SHE BEEN AROUND WAYYYYYYYYY TO LONG.......WE WOULDA HEARD SOMETHING YEARS AGO
what's really sad about this is that someone actually took time out of their lives to go to great lengths to make B look bad, no matter how u may feel about her personally, no one can take away her God-given talent. the woman can sing like nobody's business and whoever did this should be ashamed...it's really not that serious hate her or love her, but this is just childish
Man i'm sorry I know I already posted but really, the people who think this is real are plain stupid. Do you really think Beyonce would be as big as she is now and accomplished all she has with a voice like that. Come on man, I know everyone hear has seen other performances by her so *** well know she can sing. She wouldn't be singing for people like Obama if she sounded like this. Britney gets criticized for her lack of vocal talent, and im sure she could sing better than how this video sounds (if she ever took a chance to actually sing live), therefore if it was real Beyonce would be criticized too.
@trixie I am on pins and needles waiting to see how that movie will do with it's first weekend out. I have seen she will be on several shows this coming week trying to promote that movie. She's going to be on 106 and park and I think David Letterman. She's prob gone be on a million other media outlets too. She is trying her best to get people to go and watch that mess. She can try all she wants but I will be checking it out on moviefather. I bet Matty buy at least 1 million tickets. Jay prob won't buy any, I think he just wants her gone just as much as we do.
As much as I dislike Beyonce over exposed *** Imma have to disagree on this one. This video is fake!!!!
I went on youtube and found the same video youtube.com/watch?v=dgBjzjTkVSM and she does sound a little better than the unedited *** sh*t verson someone has put out.
Beyonce this is a sign to take a break before you are force to take one!!!!!
I SWEAR FOLKS ARE DELUSIONAL ON THIS SITE. BEYONCE CAN SING THE HELL OUT OF ANY SONG, WHY AT THIS POINT IN HER CAREER...LIKE 12 YEARS, PEOPLE ACT LIKE THEY DONT KNOW THIS ISH! ALSO I WAS THERE IN NY AND SHE KILLED IT IN A GREAT WAY THE CROWD LOVED IT. MTO..GET SOME BUSINESS! ALSO THE TICKETS ARE REDUCED...NOT TO FILL A SEAT, BUT IF U HAVEN'T NOTICED THE ECONOMY IS F-ED UP. PEOPLE CAN BARELY FEED THEIR FAMILYS/. SHE IS LOOKING OUT, SHE SOLD OUT WORLD TOURS AND IS THE HIGHEST PAID FEMALE RNB ARTIST, SO U REALLY THING HER FAN BASE ISN'T SUPPPORTIVE OF HER. LET IT GO....YOU ARE REACHING AND MAKING ISH UP ....AGAIN! ESPECIALLY WITH THIS WEAK AS* EDITED YOU TUBE ***-ISH!
@trixie and Safari1 I'm going to co-sign with you all, I have a funny feeling Karma is at the Knowles door step.
As long as black folks complain about Beyonce over expose *** nothing will get done,maybe if Rush Limbaugh racist *** complain about her then maybe sh*t will be done to keep her face off the television.
Ooooh now y'all just overrating her yes STANS even Bey has her days where her voice will crack or she will hit the wrong note.She is not literally the queen of singing.
And Bey haters don't take this to your advantage to try and hate her as much as possible,whether you like her or not she's doing her *** thang.
It's a shame that you all actually print this mess or any mess some "faithful reader" sends you.
This person just took the clip and ran the audio through some recording software and put some kind of tuning or pitch *** effect on the lead vocal track. You can actually set the key on the vocals independent of the music. That's also how many of these singers cheat in the studio and on stage. You can even add harmonies from one single vocal track and turn it into as much as 6-part harmony. Even is this was real(which it isn't), Beyonce is crazy paid and will keep making more money until either she retires from the biz, or people just stop supporting what she does. I guess this was supposed to ruin her. This is so stupid until it's hilarious.
One day I'm gonna send in the most outrageous story I can make up just to see if MTO will print it without even attempting to confirm it's authenticity. One day I'm gonna leave this ish alone for good.
What many people don't want to either understand nor accept is that most artist perform off of tracks. These are pre-recorded sets of their songs. That is how Asley Simpson got busted 'not singing' live. Beyonce does not perform her sets live - there is no way in hell the girl could do all that dancing and singing and not miss a note but hey - believe what you must. Attached is the link to the actual performance which is not much better than what is being listened to here. Play them side by side and there is much difference. I actually watched that performance that day on TV and thought how awful but then I know Bey can't sing outside a track or pre-recorded tape.
http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-us&vid=4785998a-c222-4f2c-8a68-19bba63ee375
This is a fake, my friend went to this same performance, and he recorded on his camera phone. This is so fake! This was some time ago. People have nothing better to do but sabotage someone's image. I mean I am tired of her because she is in the limelight too much but I know the girl is a triple threat and craze talent. We all know she can sing and is an awesome performer. Let's just keep it real.
NO PEOPLE HERE IS REAL LINK FROM THAT AND HEY NOT ALL GOOD BUT SHE IS OUTSIDE AND PLUS NO SINGER IS EVER GOOD IN OUTSIDE AREA AND NOT WHEN YOU DONT HAVE A DOME OVER YOU TOO SO WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM HER SHE DID HER BEST YES

Trixie Get your facts straight. Cadiallac Records wasn't a "Knowles" production. So THEY didn't make the movie. The movie was about the chess records label not about Etta James, or Any of the artists. It was the story of the label and the time period. Beyonce didn't "Steal" anything from Etta. At last WAS NOT written specifically for Etta James. The Song was written 2 years before Etta James even recorded it. Nat King Cole Sang it Before Etta. So Please know what you are talking about before jumping on a bandwagon spewing false accusations. I tell you We can be some of the most viral, hateful, envious, jealous people ever for not reason at all.
who ever think that this is real is so *** slow.... if u listen closely...they changed the speed of the song..and doubled it...eventually leading to an altered voice... nd how i kno this is bcuz my uncle Jay Z... is always in the studio showing me things so i kno...nd second..if u go to 40 seconds and listen closely... u can hear her actually singing in the bcakground so the idoit who made this video need to spend time in the studio or in skool nd learn to to alter sumthing properly
all of yall are mezmerized by this crazy lookin chick, why yall cant see past all the make-up?? yall know she aint really no singer , everything about her is supersized !!!! she is very made-up!!! she would not last out here on some of these streets!!! she cant rep any hoods, but will come into ur hood and rep like she done been living there all her 34 yaers of livin!!!
