Beyonce “Today” Hoaxer Says He Was Trying To Make A Point

How did a 26-year-old computer art student from Connecticut temporarily tarnish Beyoncé’s good name? Actually, it was quite easy. All it took was a little pitch-correction software and a plug from Howard Stern for Matthew Zeghibe’s YouTube creation to cause considerable consternation for the pop diva yesterday, as a viral video of Beyoncé seemingly singing nightmarishy off-key made its way around the Net. Zeghibe’s clip — which claimed to be the real soundboard recording of “If I Were a Boy” from a November 2008 Today show appearance — was somehow discovered by Stern’s staff, and the shock jock played it on his Sirius Satellite Radio program Tuesday.

“I don’t even listen to Howard Stern,” admits Zeghibe, a “secret fan of Beyoncé” who studied at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. “I was just trying to make a point. I wanted to show people how easy it is to manipulate someone’s voice. If I can do it with a clip I pulled off of TV, imagine what they are doing on records and during live performances. The entire industry has been so manipulated, because there’s such an emphasis on perfection, so when something like this happens, it causes such a stir.”

Zeghibe says he made the video in January, and posted it on his YouTube channel mostly just for his friends’ amusement. He had nothing against B, it was just that the clip was so crisp and the audio so clear, “I knew I could do what I wanted to do and get away with it.” Before Tuesday, a mere 25,000 people have viewed the clip. By the time it was removed from YouTube the next day, Zeghibe says it had registered over 100,000 views.

“I knew something had to have happened to make it jump so fast,” he recalls. “It’s wild how much the story’s been twisted. It’s just always been fun for me to manipulate artists, and make it sound crazy. It was just for a good laugh. It was a goof, just for fun. I do a lot of parodies on my YouTube channel, and it just so happens this one got a little out of hand.”

While Zeghibe says he hasn’t heard from Beyoncé’s camp about the video, he was certainly surprised by the reaction the video received from the singer and her father. Beyoncé told MTV News that the timing of the video was perfect, “because I’ll be on the Today show tomorrow singing ‘Halo,’ [and] tonight, you can watch me sing live on David Letterman! It’s perfect promotion, whoever came up with that idea.” (Beyoncé did indeed perform “Halo” on Letterman last night.)

Her father, Mathew Knowles, was less appreciative. “At 12 years into her career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability,” Knowles said in a statement. “That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered.”

“I’m happy I could stir up the mixing pot for her,” says Zeghibe, adding that he’s also given the same treatment in the past to Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears before admitting he feels no need to apologize for the hoax. “I was just what I’ve learned in school, and it’s fun I could fool so many people and get away with it. A lot of people had a lot of laughs because of it, so why should I apologize? If you can’t poke fun at yourself, I don’t know what kind of person you are.”

My own personal Fail-a-paloosa...

[thome]

I guess she be purdy fine looking with the weave and all the make up.

can't dance can't sing all in the box mix type ..just like Brittany....

Like Jelo not much else there..some acting ..skills? but most of that is what she looks like....bla bla bla..

I would feed her a mile of my dikk for a week or two../

:work4sex::angelic03:

[ELVIS]

Haha!

Funny stuff...

What amazes me is that even the best technology can't get Ozzy on key anymore...

So sad, because Ozzy could really sing live back in the day...


:elvis:

[bluemustard]

They said on Stern he used autotune.
I downloaded it last week.
You can get that Cher "do you believe" and T pain effect.

[binnie]

Well, she doesn't have a bad voice but it was never the best in Destiny's Child - her music is sold more on image than anything else, and is becoming increasingly turgid as time progresses.....

[lesfunk]

She'll sing with my coch up her crudder! Ah Gahrontee!

[Kristy]

almost as annoying as the pussycat dolls going "ooh yeah! c'mon!"

For a seccy there I thought you said Josie and The Pussycats on which case I'd have some fighting words for you just because I have a secret girl crush and Rachel Leigh Cook

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v506/RokeaBlack/rachael_leigh_cook_4.jpg

Yeah, I know she somewhat a mediocre actress who loves the play the subtle victim role with horrible scripts...Joise and The Pussycats was probably the greatest movie ever made on the state of tweeny bubblegum rock.

As for Beyonce, I had the misfortune of seeing her live about three years ago. No, she can't sing worth a shit and is more of what I'd cal a "booty strutter" on stage upon which she shakes her bloated ass while condescending to her audience with rabid cat shrilling into the microphone repeatedly with such insights as "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-YEAH! and "WHOOOOOOOO! Y'all feeling alright!? WHOOOOOOOOOO!"

Now I suppose anyone would sound just as flat on a direct board feed with no reverb, chorus, delay. etc but here Beyonce doesn't even attempt to make an effort. At least Ashlee Simpson went for redemption and was never seen and/or heard from again (thank fuck). But I doubt this would rock the boat on any of Beyonce's fan base. People who go for this type on inept talent are rarely phased by the reality of their idols.

[binnie]

Completely agree about Rachel Leigh Cook - sha-wing!

[hideyoursheep]

The dry run a few hours before....you do realize that the first clip was touched up....and I mean that in a bad way :biggrin:

Yeah, I think the clock has run out on the Ozman. Time for him to bask in his own glory....if Sharon don't kill him first!

[Blaze]

I like the old man Ozzy, a lot better than I liked young man Ozzy.
I sent him a hollar-dollar for calling wacko on FUCKITI'MBUCKET.:smilieci:
