Beyonce "I faked it" .... So what! ..... move on

http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/01/31/170774920/beyonc-on-lip-syncing-i-did-not-feel-comfortable-taking-a-risk

And this is the first time a women "faked it" to make a man happy?


"I'm a perfectionist," Beyoncé said. She explained that she couldn't practice with the Marine Band and taking the weather and other circumtances into account she did not feel "comfortable taking a risk."

She lip-synched to a recording of her own voice. Milli Vanilli lip synched to someone else's voices and accepted a grammy for it.

At least she can sing, unlike a lot of the auto-tune hacks these days.

Really good SSB. Flouncy, but tastefully done.

I can't name anything she's done. But then I'm not aware of much post-Monk.

that dodges the relevant question. i thought it was obvious that the marine band was "lip-synching" (or whatever the term is when applied to non-vocal instruments). the question was whether or not the vocals we heard were live -- whether she was fake singing or her mike was turned off.

They should stay with '12 until the end of the season!
Switching versions will mess things up for the bookies.

Depending on how many Miller Lites the operators are allowed, both teams could wind up nekkid by the end of the third quarter.

It could wind up having higher ratings than full-contact baseball!
