Loading ...Matthew Zeghibe was trying to make a point with his clip of Beyonce singing “If I Were A Boy” in the style of Melanie, although that point wasn’t about how things that are “funny” can travel around the Internet like wildfire without fact-checking! Instead, the professional digital artist said, “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.

Stern and his sidekicks note at the end of the clip that she probably sounded like crap because of her inability to hear her voice properly, but who on the Internet would let the truth get in the way of lulz? (If only someone had some recordings of Enuff Z’nuff TV appearances from back in the day… then maybe we’d hear some real answers.) For comparison’s sake, the performance that aired on Today a few months back is after the jump. More »
