I got the CD at a Starbucks on my lunch break. I remember unwrapping it like the Tasmanian Devil, pulling the jewel case out of the sleeve the, seeing her ass in all its glory, and putting it back with the quickness because I didn’t want my boss to see

i still think the ending of DIL was prerecorded, i may be wrong tho!

 

i just don't understand why some people see it as something negative

There seems to be some beef with Ashley too. I think there was a rumor she encouraged a group of dancers to protest with her to ask for more money for a performance after they were already set on a price and after they went on IG to blast Bey about it. Anyone know about this? since then i have not seen Ashley involved like before with the dancing.

Ashley and B are good.  She was dancing with her at the Oscars last year under Fatima and Tia. 
 

JaQuel is likely out forever.  I’d be highly surprised to see them work together ever again. I’ll just say that.

You THINK it was pre recorded. You give no real reason why, no proof to back it up, just come in here to rile up some people AGAIN after another troll before you came for the same reason? yeah okay.

 

Some of you are real clowns around here. Real comedians. Beyoncé is the only singer left standing in this industry who can give a 1 hour plus concert with such vocals. How about that? that's why some of y'all are low key pressed.

 

Cant wait for the Grammys to confirm yet again how mediocre they all are live compared to Bey. I hope she doesn't waste her time performing there. I still want the visuals before a live performance too.

I wish I could go back to listening to Haunted for the first time, when I heard Ghost I felt like I was listening to a super indie artist nobody ever heard before. I thought my music taste was above everyone else’s, here she was being #real and no one was talking about it! Oh it was an out of body experience it’s like I discovered what music was for the first time. 
 

I was fighting for my LIFE when people were sl*t shaming her for partition, fighting with randoms on the internet under youtube comments and IG posts, ahhh the mental illness 

 

Now I’m debating whether I’m a bootlicker or a communist, truly a full circle moment

wtf is your problem? why did you get so heated over this? yeah i THINK it was prerecorded, that's exactly what my post said.

 

i'm not going to shy away from my opinion just because what i think doesn't line up with your narrative, or anyone's for that matter. i have my reasons to think that EXACT and SPECIFIC moment from the performance was prerecorded and i'm not even going to bother sharing it with you because no matter what i say, you will call me either a clown or a troll. pathetic.

 

and guess what? if she performs at the grammy's,there will probably still be some sections of the  performance in which the vocals will be PRERECORDED, how does that sound to you? because that's what beyoncé does. because she's a smart woman. prerecording your vocals for certain sections of your performance is not this crutch some of y'all think it is, most of you know NOTHING about singing live and maintaining your voice throughout an hour performance

ST was just a pivotal point in my life  i remember getting the cd+dvd set for christmas and watching the mv’s on tv! was obsessed with mine  not gonna say how old i was when it dropped so everyone in basé doesn’t feel older 

One convo I hate is the live for lipsync debate ugh… every time Bey slays this comes up. 

i know a lot of people find the song corny but seeing the Pretty Hurts video for the first time made me cry so hard and tbh it’s one i do not revisit because it’s a bit TOO emotional for me 

 

like casual exposure to her hits made me a fan, 4 made me stan, and ST just like… altered my brain chemistry or something and she’s always gonna be near and dear to me even during lulls of actually listening to her (like i had for a while pre-BMS)

I don’t think you all understand how crazy it is for a private hotel event/concert to turn into something so viral. Like this wasn’t televised at all

for attention of whom exactly? lmao

No album release from her slayed my whole entire wig like ST.

 

I mean just from a fanfare perspective.

 

I couldn’t even get into the album for a good 24 hours. I was TOO shook by the audacity. I was too busy reading everyone’s opinions and thoughts.

 

I remember refreshing iTunes for hours and hours hoping Queen didn’t fail and she went #1

 

That was by far the scariest moment as a fan

Idk but it’s a lot 

Just relax bby… you keep trying to drive home your opinion on some prerecorded vocals like we care lol 

 

My thing is… if you aren’t really trolling then why are you mentioning it? Like BFFR.

 

With or without prerecorded Vocals, she slayed. The end

I'm not an expert but isn't lip sync and singing along to prerecorded track aren't the same?! 

 

Why does people always assume singing along to pre-recorded live vocals as lip sync? 

You may be correct, I’ve always thought they were interchangeable so that’s why I used both terms. My thought is if you lip sync, you have to prerecord those vocals that you’ll sing along to prior to the performance. Right? 

 

Both are used as fail safes in case the artist and a lot of people see these measures as “cheating” or unimpressive even if it’s used minimally, hence all the drama in here 😅
 

And for your last question, I think it’s cuz a lot of times you can’t really hear the “singing along” part so when you watch it second hand, maybe it could appear suspect. Unfortunately, a suspicion is all a few people need to start mess.

  She gagged her audience regardless. 

Singing with a backing track isn’t lipping

what i find interesting is the fact that me mentioning her prerecorded vocals is considered "trolling" like it was a bad thing

 

i do agree and see the trolls in this thread, don't get me wrong. but i find interesting discussing the prerecorded vocals because it's a part of the performance. just like dancing and memorizing her stage queues, nailing pre-recorded vocals is a whole ass talent, for me it's quite admirable. and because i know her unmatched vocal talent and i know what she's capable of delivering, acknowledging she doesn't sing live 100% of the time doesn't damage my ego as a stan because i know exactly who i stan for. whether or not she sang them live in that exact moment, she still sang them a couple hours earlier while she was recording them lol, so it's still her talent in display. 

 

if someone is going to take my comment as me saying she "can't sing" or she's not talented enough or she's not able to deliver those vocals 100% live, or even worse, if some OBH will use it to further prove their point of beyoncé being a "fraud", that's their problem. it doesn't affect me and it certainly doesn't affect Bey, she bagged $35M for fucks sake

 

long story short, discussing her prerecorded vocals is interesting to me because they're not easy to pull off, and she does it flawlessly. she STILL delivered those vocals, just not at that exact time. her vocal talent is not in question here, quite the opposite

She knew she shook the world with Self Titled.
 

also! using a prerecorded vocal track ≠ lip syncing

 

lip syncing is moving your mouth to studio vocals, a pre-recorded vocal track is a track that was recorded prior to the performance - often at rehearsal, most likely at the same venue the performance is going to take place in and with the same microphone she will be singing with (for acoustic reasons) but it's theoretically still live vocals. that's why you're able to hear her breaths and almost can't tell the difference between what's actually live and what's pre-recorded

 

EVERYONE does it. gaga does it, rosalia does it, dua does it. it's very common, but no one does it as good as Beyoncé does. that's why i like talking about it, because it's not a bad thing. it's actually really good and very smart specially when you're on tour. you can't sing 100% live for an hour and a half every night for almost a year, it will WRECK your vocal chords, no matter how much vocal warm up you do. and this doesn't mean the whole show is pre-recorded, most of the times it's 70% live, 30% pre-recorded. and considering she's already rehearsing for the renny tour, she must be doing a whole lot of singing lately
