This was already proven to be tampered with, and anyone who believes Howard Stern is dumber than I thought. Beyonce has given great live vocal performances.
The only bitch who can get a Grammy nomination for a live version of a song she won a Grammy for the year before...
Simply proof that the only way you'll hear Beyonce sounding bad is if you literally have to alter the vocal performance. Beyonce is NEVER off-key. EVER.
If I remember correctly, Carson Daly interviewed Destiny's Child on TRL about their single 'Emotions' and Beyonce started talking about how she felt when she wrote it, only for Carson to stop her and inform her that Emotions was a very famous BeeGee's song.

You don't, because what you just described never happened. And Beyonce writes on her songs. End of.
And Beyonce had writing credits for If I Were A Boy, but it got removed after the actual writers came forward.
She changed the drums of If I Were A Boy, and various vocal runs on it. She removed it it because having an Irreplaceable Pt. 2 situation was the LAST thing she needed. She still performed the hell out of it, so ain't seem like she cared...
It all comes down to how you define talent, and more importantly how much weight you attribute to each particular category. I'm more amazed by intellectual capabilities than by anything physical. That said, I obviously feel sonwiting and the ability to inject yourself, your ideals, your beliefs and personal message into your work is far more intersting than one's ability to dance or sing. Needless to say i see GaGa as being far more talented than Beyonce....but it's all subjective.
Beyonce is notoriously known for not writing music and actually stealing writing credits, so gurl I don't know what you're talking about.
Re-think your strategy Beyonce is only KNOWN for that because people desperately cling to the same rumours and refuse to use common sense. You could start firing off every songwriting accusation you have against Beyonce and I will mop the floor with EACH and EVERY one.
I don't get what's so funny. Every time a song that she ~wrote~ gets played on the radio she gets a cut of the royalties. She is essentially stealing money, so I don't know what's to laugh about. Also she wins awards for something she didn't even write.
And why don't you tell that to Rob Fusari, the person who came up with Bootylicious.
Quote:
Q: But Mathew didn't want to do it?
He didn't want to do it. So 50% got cut for one note. That whole experience was bittersweet for me.
I remember watching Barbara Walters interview Beyoncé about "Bootylicious," and she told Barbara about how she came up with the idea for the track. And I was just like, "What?" I called Mathew-which was a big mistake; I got emotional, and I apologized after-but I called Mathew and said, "Mathew, like, why?"
And he explained to me, in a nice way, he said, "People don't want to hear about Rob Fusari, producer from Livingston, N.J. No offense, but that's not what sells records. What sells records is people believing that the artist is everything." And I'm like, "Yeah, I know, Mathew. I understand the game. But come on, I'm trying too. I'm a squirrel trying to get a nut, too."

I understand your subjectivity but to say that gagas song writing outweighs beyonces singing ability is making gaga out to be some sort of poet laureate

YAS! Bring all your "receipts"
Beyonce wrote ALL the lyrics to Bootylicious, that is why she gets her credit. The ONLY thing Rob Fusari did was decide to use Stevie Nicks' sample, which Beyonce NEVER denied. He was bruised that Beyonce decided to give Stevie Nicks her rightful credit. If Rob Fusari got his way Stevie would not have been on the writing credits at ALL..so Beyonce did the RIGHT thing in this case.
Rico said to Michelle, "I did 'Radio' and 'Scared Of Lonely,' but I co-wrote 'Scared Of Lonely' with Solange, Lashawn Daniels, and Crystile." Wait ... you didn't say Beyonce, Rico? But ASCAP has her name on the song's credits. You little sneaky wig-wearing diva. All it takes is a few measly scraps of your millions, and these folks are happy to give you a good track.
So, how much did Beyonce actually even do herself?
This isn’t the first time that Beyonce has been caught taking sole credit for other people’s work. She’s often been busted contributing one letter or word to a song, with no changes to the production or arrangement, in order to gain a writing credit, only to then claim she wrote it entirely herself – One hilarious instance saw her Dreamgirls song “Listen” being disqualified from the Academy Awards when the awards’ executive committee found there were too many co-writers on the track, and that Beyonce had contributed the least amount to the song out of everyone.
Beyonce just gets a team of writers to write a song, and she changes one word and claims she wrote the song.
And didn't she steal Ne Yo's writing credits from Irreplaceable?
Gurrrrl. Beyonce is coming for all y'alls writing credits.
DEAD @ you thinking when Beyonce gets a song she keeps it EXACTLY as it is. There's a thing called VOCAL PRODUCTION. For Scared of Lonely she restructured the entire chorus. For Irreplaceable she changed the arrangements, the drums, added new harmonies, and changed they key in which the song was sung. That's her credit right there. Rightfully deserved.

Scott Cuttler. One of the WRITERS of Listen:
"Beyonce helped that along a lot - little lifts in the melody, little lifts in the song that we hadn't thought of. She just kept sending back ideas, thoughts, what she wanted. "I'll cut my Oscar in the middle and give her half."

If you understood my subjectivity you wouldn't question it. Let me be more clear though as maybe my statemtent was too ambiguous. It's impossible to compare different forms of talent. You can't compare Kobe Bryant's basketball skill to Beyonce's dancing and ask which is more talented. It's illogical in every way. The solution?
1. Compare the same talent
2. (Subjecrtve) Assisgn some "weight" to that talent.
This is ENTIRELY subjective, but my point is made. I personally am infactuated by intellect and the specific ability to create, therefore I rate songwriting as vastly more important on a scale of various talents.

Keep em coming.
Sure, she arranged all the background, but when you start singing the song, don't start saying: "Apparently Beyoncé was at a show somewhere and right before the song came on she said, 'I wrote this for my girls' and then the song came on" - Neyo.
