Beyonce’s dad slams doubts about her singing ability after unedited “board mix” released
Posted in Music on the May 3, 2009
Beyonce’s dad has slammed “idiot” critics doubting the diva’s singing ability after a supposed unedited “board mix” of her was played on US radio.
A clip said to be a screeching Beyonce’s peformance on The Today Show last year was played by shock jock Howard Stern on his radio show.
But Beyonce’s furious dad Matthew Knowles has hit back in a statement, claiming his superstar daughter was set up.
He says: “If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America, then shame on them.
“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 (basketball star) Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered.”

Sir Paul McCartney was chased down by 50 Miss USA finalists after they found out he was staying near to their hotel.
The girls were staying at the Planet Hollywood when they realised the star was staying at the hotel opposite.
A source said: "One girl heard Paul was playing a gig here and hunted him down. They were staying at Planet Hollywood, where the contest was being staged, and found Macca’s hotel was across the road."
The source added to British newspaper the Daily Mirror: "It was impossible to stop them and they were screeching with excitement. All 50 booked in for dinner there in hope of stumbling across him."
The source added: "Paul declined as he probably felt girlfriend Nancy Shevell wouldn’t be so enthralled. A couple of the girls even ran a competition to see who would be the first to get a picture or autograph and no one even managed that."
