^ As lead vocals? Are you sure? Can you find me a video of her online lip-synching lead vocals at one of her concerts?

I've seen Bey lip performances. Some entirely and others 30-50% lipped... Especially the uptempo dance numbers. Here are a few concert performances I can think of..

She has also lipped a few TV performances...Regardless, that doesn't take away from her talent.

Where did she lip? Anytime she wasn't singing, her mouth wasn't moving, and her mic wasn't at her mouth.

=0P

The ONLY one that is questionable is this one.

ALL the others are live vocals.

It's pre-recorded..the vocals are the same for most of the shows on the tour. It's just not as obvious. You can tell when you're at the show, because the pitch and sound are little higher than the rest of the other songs. She did do Freakum Dress on the I AM Tour live, but it was earlier on the leg of the tour. Ring The Alarm has portions thats live, while others are lipped. She does this also on songs like Greenlight, Crazy In Love, Sugamama..etc, It blends really well that you can barely tell.

As I said, none of the examples (except that one I meantioned) that you showed were pre-recorded vocals.

And I can tell when it's live or not.

everything she posted was an example of pre-recorded vocals

Every "Single Ladies" performance is a pre-recorded vocal .. these are just 3 examples .. listen to the melodic structure of the song .. only thing she does live during these is the "heeey eeey ey ey"

If you actually think Beyonce can jump up and down and run up and down the stage like a wild animal while staying in perfect key, perfect pitch, without showing any signs of fatigue or out of breath, you are clearly delusional.

Exactly. This is pretty much the same pre-recorded lip as the other "Get Me Bodied". The Yes performance is a straight rip of the album version, so It's more obvious than the rest. The others are pre-recorded studio live playbacks. Gotta give it up to her, cause she adds the little breaths and breaks to them also. If you watch more then one performance from the same tour but different shows, you'd realize its the same vocals every night for these songs,.And also, Bey voice is actually lower live.

Other times its a combo of both live and lipped portions. (other examples: Radio and Ego performances) But Again, with that said..Its not like Bey can't perform these songs live. I'd rather her lip then sound like a out of breath mess with all that bouncing.

BIO-weave music SUCKS !!!!!!!

Music critics have expressed surprise over the song's failure to crack the Top 10 in its first week of release, landing at # 33. I'm not.

Those "music critics" need to be fired if they think this song deserved to crack the Top 10. Maybe they based their judgment on her popularity and not the music like most industry heads. I'm not surprised either. The real test of the public will be after the video debut whether or not it actually takes off or not. Odds are she's going to try to recreate a "dancing craze" for everybody to learn. If the video doesn't get mad hits on youtube and other outlets, she'll probably rush out a new single.

Yep. I don't see how people can't see these type of things
