(8,053 posts)there was a concert on tv, something like "Women in Rock"... Cyndi Lauper, Ann and Nancy Wilson, etc., I think Wynonna Judd... were all performing. At the last minute, the producers decided to throw Destiny's Child into the mix. It was really the first time I'd bothered to listen to them--my daughter loved them, but I was into Rock, not R&B. At any rate, when the promo spots were coming on, no mention of DC; then when the show went live, they were announced.
I was like "oh man, how are they going to stand up to all of that at the last minute?" Well, Beyonce took off in a solo and it was the most amazing thing to watch. She truly rose to that challenge, as did the other 2 ladies. I can remember Cyndi Lauper sitting next to them as Beyonce was singing and the look on her face was that she was really impressed by her. From that moment on, I've been a fan of her ability and professionalism. Yes, she CAN sing.
Whitney Houston got the same blow back when she sang the national anthem at a SuperBowl game--she pre-recorded it and lip synced on the day of performance. Interestingly, that recording went to #1 on Billboard right after that.
So, yeah, Beyonce can sing AND she can dance.
Haters just gon' hate...
