Anyone who has heard Beyonce sing will know that she is, well, pretty much amazing! I heard a funny quote recently which made me laugh:
“Always be yourself. Unless you can be Beyonce. Then be Beyonce”.
In this video Beyonce is walking along the bottom of the stage during one of her performances in London, enabling her to interactive with some of the audience while effortlessly singing Halo. She walks up to one audience member (who in fairness is shaking her head desperately because she knows what is coming next) and puts the microphone in front of her to finish the current part of the chorus. She tries, and my goodness does she FAIL! What comes out next sounds so bad, is a bit husky (possibly from all the shouting being at a concert) and about 4 keys lower than what it should be. The girl smiles, and looks a bit mortified as Beyonce walks off laughing.
To make matters worse, this video has since been played god knows how many times on TV shows, radio 1 and much more. After watching this funny video (I heard it first on the radio) I thought of 2 things.
1. If Beyonce sticks a microphone in your face, don’t say ANYTHING
2. Thank god that wasn’t me
I think even a good singer would sound like a bag of crap compared to Beyonce, so I can’t help but feel that she set that poor girl up for a fall. However… Enjoy! The person responsible for this video also plays the audience members attempt at singing 3 times to really emphasise it.
