    "It's an honor to sing for you Ms. Streisand…."
    Class and humbleness that cannot be taught coupled with brilliant singing.
    What a woman.

      Beyoncé,Jay Z and Kanye were at a restaurant and they were havimg a good time.Jay Z and Kanye got a little drunk and started being rude towards the waiter.When they were leaving Beyoncé personally apologised for the disturbance by Kanye and Jay to the waiter and gave them $1000 in tip. That is humbleness and respect. She is a humbe woman.
      What selfish? Lol bitch begone.

    As a singer, I can't say how much more i appreciate Beyonce after hearing her do this beautiful no frills honest tribute to the song and Barbra. She should show this part of her talent more. Her control, phrasing, legato, and dynamic range were spot on. I enjoyed simply listening to her beautiful free vibrato and pianissimo. There are few truly good singers out there. She's one of them. She should do more bare vocal naked songs that allow us to appreciate the sheer beauty of her voice at its heartfelt best.

      Poptrinkets Beyoncé supports C3-F5-C6. Has very consistent, supported and resonant lows, has great mid belts and supports up to an F5 belt a soprano note, even though she's a mezzo. Her head voice is thick, dark and semi-operatic and keeps that quality up to B5/C6. Has an amazing ear for melody since 2007 and perfectly incorporates melismata into her singing, her agility and complexity in melismata is matched only by higher, naturally more agile singers like Mariah and she still ties with them. Also uses amazing dynamics her, Whitney and Barbra herself being the only 3 to do a messa Di voce outside of opera, the top tier of dynamics. Want to dispute and tell me how she's not? That is if you can give objective facts to why she's not.

And I can't think of any other explanation for what happens at 0:08, when we can hear her 'singing' before her microphone is raised.

    • @uploader06
      @uploader06 7 лет назад +8

      It is simply the video that is not working properly that did that. At the Inauguration she was not lip synching but singing WITH a pre-recorded track that did the big vocals while she did the part that didnt require the high notes. It was freezing and it was outside so she did that to protect her voice. Everyone knows that Beyonce can sing.
