  • shes just like tina Turner with that roughness

  • @LoveGreatVocal Well that's good. I belies she still has many years of really good music to offer. There have been many that we're able to keep a family and career. Hell when Madonna had Lourdes she made the really great album ray of light.

  • This girl is so amazing! I cant believe that Her vocals were friggin PITCH PERFECT!!!

  • If this was live, surely the audience wouldn't have disappeared when she started singing? Compared the live Beyonce speaking and the studio mixed Beyonce that starts singing when the song starts?

  • @JonKGKeys true! 

  • AH AH Haters said that she lipsyncs this performance !!!

  • @Litalici0us because it was unfortunately

    watch?v=iHAxhmoVm24

  • -I Lovee Beyoncé But This Is Pre-Recorded Because On (Beyonce: Live At Roseland) It Sounds Exactly Thee Samee As The VMA Awards.!!

  • @Bg11310 She used studio version at Roseland.

  • @fuckingbrill here it was live and roseland was lipped?

  • @iiAmitx3 both VMA and Roseland are lipped, EXACTLY the same. There was a video with both layered and only the beginning where she talks was different but it was removed, don't know why.

  • @LoveGreatVocal

    found someone layer both performances watch?v=iHAxhmoVm24

  • @agators212 Yeah I saw different one but this proofs it too. It was lipped. I didn't believe that at first but I watched that video and the truth is that nobody can sing exactly the same.

  • @LoveGreatVocal yeah which is understandable...even the best opera singers will show signs of difference from perfromances plus she was pregnant. of all the talk about bey's great technique would know it would be hard to sing with a baby because it greatly reduces the amount the diaphragm would be able to support the breath especially on the higher notes and stamina

  • @agators212 Pregnancy makes singing harder so I'm not surprised she lipped those performances. It's her hardest song to sing. I just really hope that we'll be able to hear her singing this live one day

  • @LoveGreatVocal yeah...just give her time when she wants to return to the stage. if she doesn't retire. she did say in an interview she wanted to retire at 30 and start having a family

  • @agators212 yh but after that video in 2012 WHRE SHE WAS ON PIERS MORN CNN she said se is not retireing and she was actualy prego there

  • @beyonceboy100 oh well that was a new interview...i remember the interview back when she was like 25 talking about wanting to retire at age 30...

  • @agators212 June 2011 she said "I always said I would have a baby at 30, I'm 29. But I also said I was gonna retire at 30, so I don't know"

    Piers: "So this could be a big year"

    Bey: "I'm not retiring, I tell you"

  • @iiAmitx3 I layered studio edit for Roseland version and it's exactly the same. It even looks weird that she is dancing and singing such a hard, fast song at the same time and I don't even can hear her breathing, every note is sang perfectly.

  • @fuckingbrill but do you think this is live? cause it's a really hard song to sing... and she was pregnant! most of the notes sound so good its hard to believe it's live but also hard to believe bey would lip in an imprtant award show... UGH! lol

  • @iiAmitx3 Hm, I really don't know. I guess she was singing to studio edited version. Some notes were the same as studio, some not and we can hear it clearly here. But that's weird when she is almost screaming, sometimes straining, going off key (from 3:20 to the end) and out of breath and then she is singing head voice part perfectly.

  • @fuckingbrill yea head voice was too perfect idk what to say...

  • Oh my my my! Wow!

  • Now we as stans know that Beyonce SLAYS vocally but Queen Bey the Great & Magnificent lipped it that night...But she still gave us & the MTV awards a great show

  • *mouths.

  • I am the biggest beyonce stan ALIVE lol but this IS pre-recorded. U can hear just before the first verse the crowd goes silent and that is bc the mic is turned off and then on again when she drops the mic. Also, towards the end she clearly moths the word "one" but her lips say "thing".

  • @mikeylondon1987 It's not pre-recorded. There are two different mics. At the beginning in the intro she is talking into a Lapel mic (a mic that attaches to your shirt). These mics generally don't filter surrounding sounds (they're omni-directional) so that's why you hear the crowd sounds. Then she grabs the second mic on the stand. This mic is most likely bi-directional and filters out crowd noises (for obvious reasons). So the fade you are hearing is the fade between both mic recordings.

  • @kingn8link actually it was the same mic...she grabs the mic stand but the mic was still in her left hand the entire time

  • @kingn8link You're kidding right?......face the facts, its pre-recorded, she had the mic in her hand the whole time. There was no lapel mic. Geez. Even someone else noticed that she said one word during the modulations but the vocals said something else.

  • @TAThoughts Well, whatever. There are no facts. Do you know what the term 'mic rip' means? It means that the sound was taken from the mic as she sang. If it was pre-recorded, it wouldn't be a mic rip. It would be a pre-recorded track. Therefore the title needs to be changed. The sound on a pre-recorded track doesn't go into the mic for it to be ripped. It would be a separate file and be outputted to the speakers and the singer would pretend to sing, so ripping from the mic would produce no sound

  • All the lip-sync theories, surely if this is the mic rip of the night then it's obvs not pre-recorded?

  • Its funny how some people cant stop to say that Beyonce lip sync. These people wish their fave could sing like this even in his/her album.

  • So this is how she actually sounded? She sounds incredible! I can't believe she sounded so amazing while performing.

  • This is a true professional singer.

  • ohmyGOOOOOD *-*

  • beyonce always gives her 100000000000000000% on the stage, she doesnt lip sync even she is pregnant, i bet its hard to sing this high when she is pregnant, bravoooooo bey <33333333333

  • Amazing.

  • Whether or not it's pre-recorded it still shows her vocal talent. ALL singers lip sync. Beyonce can't possibly belt out 25 songs for 110+ nights while trying to focus on dancing at the same time. She's only human.

  • @zacxhughes How does lip syncing = shows vocal talent?

  • @governmentscheisse

    These vocals are pre-recorded. They just go into the studio and breath a lot to make it sound authentic. Then, they sing along to it in the performance. EVERYONE does this from time to time. She may not be singing it live, but the fact that these are just some last minute, one take studio vocals still show that she CAN sing. If you want any more proof of her vocal talent, there are videos all over YouTube of her singing off-stage w/ no microphone and rehearsing.

  • @zacxhughes Acctually she was singing this time! tis wasnt pre recorded thank you very much!!!!!

  • @zacxhughes this sint pre recorded you stupid ass hoe

  • @chocolantrosa

    you people kill me. i just sat here and defended Bey, yet you're calling me a stupid ass hoe. you're so stuck in stan mode that if you see Beyonce and lip-sync in the same sentence you automatically assume that someone's talking down on her. i wasn't criticizing her for lip-syncing, i was defending her for it. and even if she wasn't lip-syncing here, it's not like she hasn't done it before.

  • @zacxhughes sorry my bad, i didnt even finish reading de comment because i assumed you were talking down on her, but yeah sorry for that girl

  • @zacxhughes Words fail how stupid you are.

  • This is my girl. No one ever does better. Don't think she lip synced and to be honest it would be like finding out Santa isn't real for the first time. Lol either way she is the bomb!!!! Epitome of entertainment

  • @9virtues i agree queen b on top

  • she's clearly not lip syncing.. you can hear the breaths and the different way she pronounces certain words and adds different stuff that is not on the album track!.. If your familiar with the song and the way she sounds live then you'll know this video is a live vocal.. c'mon now :P

  • i like her but this just sounds like she's screaming towards the end

  • Love that!

  • Wow...she earned the right to lip sync sometimes.

  • beside all those lip sync theories, still, her voice is beyond amazing...

  • Dayum!!!

  • She is phenomenal.

  • Nothing i can say, she's perfect!

  • PRE RECORDED means the artist records it in a studio with no edits to make it sound live..with breathing sounds and all..then they either lip to it or sing under it during the performance. They turned her mic off when the pre recording kicks in(wich is why the crowd goes silent) near the end before she drops the mic, they turn the mid back on(wich is why u hear it hit the floor)

  • @jaypaidincash

    I don't think it's pre-recorded, she sings very well but it's not her best live, this is not perfect, she's done way better in her career.

  • Comment removed

  • @jaypaidincash

    I'll check ...

  • @jaypaidincash she did the same in "4 intimate nights" too if you hear the 2 videos you'll see that she lip sync in both live performances...

  • I agree with one of the previous comments. Beyonce is absolutely amazing, but why make a competition. Lady Gaga is fantastic because she is a great vocalist, but like any ordinary human being, she has her bad nights. Beyonce has had her share of bad performances. Can we not all enjoy music without saying "well this artist can sing better" or "rock is better than pop." Let's enjoy the music without comparing everyone.

  • I just don't understand why people can't just enjoy music, why does everything have to be a competition? I enjoy Christina, and Jessie J, and Beyonce, I listen to many other artistes as well. But to argue about whose the best or worse to me is a waste of time, life is too short, just enjoy it. If you don't like it, leave it alone, if you do embrace it!

  • Jesus Christ. Why can't I be Beyonce?

  • @hellokitty5683 im sure ure a good singer, but there r just somethings that r not possible.

  • It is a little bit difficult to sing perfect being pregnant. So that's why she seems that she's forcing her voice in high notes

  • The fact that Beyonce was dancing her ass off at this performance then omg those vocals are outstanding. Though I already knew she was the King of music <3

  • She's not growling, that's the sound of her baby getting stuck in her throat.

  • @NickDCPA LOL

  • @tomuchphatz92 She's pregnant

  • @sjpCenawifey i heard she had a miscarriege i spelled that shit wrong but o well never mind that is it true???

  • beyonce's voice is refreshing compared to all the autotune shit i hear nowadays.

  • @LozerChic7 EXACTLY!

  • @LozerChic7 Calm down, everyone, EVEN BEYONCE, uses vocal editing at least sometimes. Don't put other artists down. 

  • ahhhhh her voice gives me the chill <3

  • #TeamBeyonce

    #TeamNOChristina

    GO BEY !!!

  • Is there anything that she can't do with her voice? Fortunately no! :) LOVE YOU B!

  • If you listen REALLY closely you could here the music softly playing in the background ,

  • This is why i love beyonce

  • fuck xtina...she could never have this much control nd consistent like bey...sorry xtina fans sit ur tired assses down...o nd xtina always sounds like she's sstrainin her voice, thats prob y she lost it...just sayin

  • @west6219 this. regardless if Xtina wants training, she has already done damage.

  • @west6219 christina aguilera sing waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than beyonce sorry to hurt your feelings

  • @west6219 i think they are both great artists

  • Best vocal range in one person theres ever been. Thats all there is to it

  • Beautiful just beautiful. One of our greatest voices of this generation. And don't come back replying to me saying it's Christina cause I ain't gonna waste my time arguing cause I got better things to do in life.

  • who else waited for the sound of the mic hitting the floor?

  • Her voice aside from being one of the best in the current industry has the hands down BEST VOCAL CONTROL she knows exactly how to pin point what she wants her voice to do.That register change she executes at the the end is unmatched

  • It's amazing she was able to sing as well as she did and dance at the same time. She has great stamina. If that were me, I would've been done after the first two or three lines in the song.

  • people just need to get over the fact that she can sing. you sound like an idiot saying she can't sing. that's like saying she's not black, or she isn't pregnant. It's fucking obvious.

  • @dhlov So im guessing someone put a gun to ur head and said listen to it

  • wow...this chick controls her voice like no other...wanna b like this...

  • She sounds like Michael Fuckin Jackson WOW! 0_0

  • One of the only artists out there who can sound like the studio version of their song live :)

  • damn she can sang!!! nota flaw> Go B!!

    

  • i love her voice

  • This gurl know she can sing! Thank GOD she remains humble! and not stuck up! Like I always thought she was.

  • Eveybody needs to get a grip! Evey artist has lip sung at one point in their life, weather she lip sung or pre recorded it, she still is a beast on the mic!

  • Beyonce's vocals slay me. Perfect.

  • I want ya'll to feel the love that's growin' inside of me ! Best sentence ever

  • Queen B! Shes just amazing! :) she deserves fame more than anybody else this is real talent! :)

  • strong!!

  • Queen B dont play around when its about vocal and cant teach every bitch out there something

  • people downplay her voice so much... by how its going she seems whitney level to me!

  • i hope the baby looks more like beyoncé :D

  • Something YOUR favorite artist wouldn't DARE attempt to allow surface. All hail King B

  • I DONT CARE ABOUT JENNIFER HUDSON OR CRISTINA AGUILERA, I JUST KNOW THAT BEYONCÉ IS THE BEST AND SHE ALWAYS WILL BE.

  • It just shows you that when you strip away the music, the backing singers and the tech, the TRUE talent comes to light, and by god she is a talent! and for those people who criticizer her vocal, she is not standing in one place and she is pregnant! give her credit! she is one of the BEST female vocal of this generation!

  • I just wud like to say what everyone is sayin about her goin flat.. that is definitely INCORRECT.. it is called modulation.. or simply put.. moving up vocally a half step..

  • I want this on my ipod .

  • I love how they only have only hear her VOICE playing, you can really hear EVERYTHING & I honestly feel so close to her I could cry *sighs* I love this women!

  • This made my day.

  • :O how'd you get this?

  • god y is everyone arguing. can't you all just do what u came here for? listen to beyonce sing? if anybody gives out an annoying as fuck opinion just ignore it. geez

  • WOOHOO!!!! It is "tears" :)

  • This is kewl !

  • creo que beyonce es la ,ejor cantante del mundo...! y besos para el [iminent=CPybzlR59l2] y ☮y tambien ♻

  • Amazing! Excellent singing!

  • definatly some mad vocals for a live performance for sure

  • I don't give 2 fucks about her lip singing ... bcuz at the end of the day this bitch can sing her azz down!!!!

  • yhu cant tell she did not lip sing ...why because if yhu actually listin tew dha sonqq and come bacc to dihss iht sounds completly diffrenttt

  • @SupaSlashh yea that and the song do sound different .. only difference was she pre-recorded this for the VMA's ... so this was wat she actually lip synced rather than the original ..... but she still killed her performance though reardless .!

  • This is not live. Guys come on!

  • u can heart the crowd if u listen carefully...u just took away the screaming and stuff when she started singing..

  • Bitches are so pressed . Bey DOESN'T lip sync. She's LIVE. That's why you mad.

  • @Cullen678 THANK YOU!!! SOME1 WITH SOME SENSE!!!

  • if beyonce prerecorded this it wuda sound more perfect that this -.-

  • another thing about this is i know this has to be EXTREMELY difficult to sing, with or without being pregnant because of the song changes, and she did it being pregnant. she is unstoppable

  • another thing about this is i know this has to be EXTREMELY difficult to sing, with or without being pregnant because of the song changes, and she did it being pregnant. she is unstoppable

  • Thats how good she is at what she does and you know she's the best performer of our generation because everytime you turn around somebody wanna say she was lip syncing its like" stfu where did you get your information. were you there?"

  • Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Hudson could learn a few things about voice control and pitching.... difference between screaming and singing.

  • @Mr27legandary Hallelujah! Preach it!

  • @Mr27legandary Ur kiddin, right?!! Toward the end she did nothing but scream her ass off!!

  • @Mr27legandary Oh really, cause if you listen to this on the album it sounds like she's screaming and this Mic rip doesn't sound to hot either. I still love the song though.

  • @tlcasselman shame u got alot 2 learn...

  • @Mr27legandary AMEN TO THAT LMFAO

  • @Mr27legandary You ain't said nothing but a word. She is the best a usinf her voice.

  • @Mr27legandary UHHH SWEETY DONT GET TWISTED J HUD IS A POWER HOUSE! SHE DOES NOT SHOUT> A B CANT BLOW LIKE J HUD! THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAY

  • @FierceNini well excuse the pun but the above mentioned ladies are powerful singers. U should check out Jen's live performances 2 see what i mean. With power comes responsibility?? make sence...

  • @Mr27legandary you flop xtina sand j hud will blow beyonce out of the park..hoe sit down

  • @Conker32192 r u serious beyonce has the best vocal control ive ever heard, yea christina and jenifer r good but they cant control it, so hoe u need 2 sit ur ass down

  • @Justchillen35girly7 How DARE you put Xtina & Jennifer in the same category????

  • @Justchillen35girly7 How DARE you put Xtina & Jennifer in the same category???? And if you're saying that this is the best vocal control you've ever heard, tells me that you don't listen to much music....Yeah she's good, but she's NOT the best BYYYYYYYYYY FAR!

  • @Justchillen35girly7 jessie j blows beyonce out of the water in terms of control

  • @layzbonez815 runs maybe but not control...

  • @Justchillen35girly7

    I agree. I love Christina and Jennifer but Beyoncé is one the few singers with such a great technique and control.

  • @Mr27legandary What are you talking about. 2:39 "love" she goes flat, 3:02 "baby your all i need" is rediciously strained to the point of a scream as she reaches the pass in her voice. All pop artists have some great and not so great techniques to get to the notes they sing and to get through the phrases they produce. Technically speaking Jennifer Hudson has the best technique when she sings, really pushing from her diaphragm, therefor having a great supported sound.

  • @melikeymakemusic Go watchChristina augulera screaming the national anthem and i think you'll see what Mr 27Legendary means

  • @melikeymakemusic r u forgetting the fact that this is live and that shes not standing on one place (not to mention the woman is pregnant)jeez j hudsons voice comes 2 a point where it gets irritating,she overexaggerate when singing live... if u watch her on idols u would she controlling her voice was one of the main critics she got. i commend her ability 2 blowing a powerful note, but i critic her on the fact that she cant be strong and subtle at the same time. which makes beyonce way better :)

  • Comment removed

  • @Mr27legandary I agree when Jennifer Hudson first came into the spotlight she was more of a raw talent. However I think she tamed her voice really well. Dreamgirls (I know it seems like im almost hurting my case here) demonstrated that she can be big but still have control of it. She has moments in her songs when she hits a ferocity but still manages to keep the sounds at a minimal. I like Beyonce, but I feel like she's always screaming at me(All the SIngle Ladies, Who Run's the World,Telephone)

  • @melikeymakemusic Is it really fair to use Single Ladies & Run the World as examples? I mean yes she is belting much more in those songs but those are fast pace songs which were meant to be sung like that imo...but do you also feel like she "screams" when she sings her ballads also?

  • @melikeymakemusic 'Anika, Beyoncé and Jennifer performing at the 80th Academy Awards Ceremony; Vocal Showcase® ' enjoy :)

  • @melikeymakemusic you need to educate yourself before you come here making a fool of yourself.

  • @richzero0 You know absolutely nothing of the accreditations I have as a student. In fact it seems to me you have no respect for anyone who has the slightest critique for Beyonce. Perhaps you could come up with a well-structured defense instead of vague, dismissive statements. This would make you seem like a level-headed, rational, and intelligent person.

  • @richzero0 You know nothing of the knowledge I have on the voice as a vocal and music student. If you would like to dispute my comment, then you should do it in a well reasoned, thorough explanation. It seems that you have no patience for anyone not praising Beoncye's voice. Anyways, articulating yourself makes you seem like a respectful and intelligent person. But in your case however, I won't hold my breath.

  • @melikeymakemusic lmao. ok. tell me how Jennifer is a better vocalist? explain to me in detail. i wanna hear it.

  • Comment removed

  • For me it comes down to technique. Beyonce is first off, a talented vocalist, but I find her technique to be her downfall. When Hudson started, she had the raw talent but didn't know how to control it, and was therefor wrecking her voice. Once she learned how to do that however she started dominating as a singer. A gorgeous, full 3+ octave range, belt control, and perfect pitch just make her the superior vocalist. Beyonce can belt, but she strains which is gonna cause vocal problems.

  • @melikeymakemusic actually. it's the other way around. Have you no heard Jennifer's upper belts? don't tell me they are not strained. Beyonce hardly strains and I'm sure that stems from her diaphragm control. When Jennifer hits her upper belted notes she sounds shrill. When you hear Beyonce grunt when she goes higher it's the style of it, she isn't straining. She can hit those upper notes without straining as she has displayed them NUMEROUS times.

  • @melikeymakemusic Have to agree with richzero0. To question Beyonces technique is redundant and ignorant. The fact that her voice has only gotten better over time is proof in itself that there is nothing about her technique which is a 'downfall'. Jennifer Hudson on the other hand is the one whose technique should be questioned. There are far too many examples of her in which showcase her screaming at higher registers. She has very little control, no doubt getting better, but no match for B.

  • @Rakim8 To question anyone's technique is neither redundant or ignorant. Asking me to explain and defend my reasoning for why I prefer one performer over another, which is what I was asked by richzero0, and then not pointing out what I consider to be flaws in Beyonce's technique would make me look stupid. Jennifer Hudson is not a vocal goddess, but neither is "B.' I feel that Beyonce's technique has gone downhill since her work in
