[@timsnowdon29]

The reason people say Beyonce can't sing is because they have a hard time accepting someone who has such strong "entertainer" skills, also has vocal skills, and that's quite rare. If she just stood there like a Celine or a Mariah, she wouldn't get such bias opinions.

[@imshkth]

Good analyze

[@sir3958]

Nobody says this tho. Like at no point has anyone said she can’t sing. The worst thing I’ve heard about this lady is, “her voice isn’t always captive” That’s literally the worst thing that’s Ben said about her singing

[@imshkth]

@@sir3958 No. I definitely heard that she is overrated and isn't that good of a singer.

[@timsnowdon29]

@@sir3958 Instead of saying "nobody says this", which is hyperbole, say "I haven't heard this". Also nobody mentioned Ben saying this lol...

[@-rapha]

@@sir3958 yes ppl have claimed she couldn't sing (or sing live). I remember one of the reasons she started a 2013 SuperBowl press conference with a acapella verson of the National Anthem... cause of lip syncing at President Obama's second inauguration!

[@tink6225]

[@virdinellhenry4087]

Me either

[@oreb6343]

cause their lives are miserable and disgusting. They can't accept that Bey is the ultimate performer nowadays and even their faves can testify that but hey, haters still don't accept the fact. She's not overrated and she deserves the fruit of her labor since day one.

[@laylascott6096]

It’s probably because they are just not fans of hers combined with the fact she is somewhat worshipped..the Beyhive is umm..intense. And the amount of people that talk about her and the Illuminati is shockingly large. I’m not a crazy fan but I like her quite a bit and this is my fav performance vocally.

[@livelyosaki80]

Because she looks good. People are taught that real talent come with "humility" styles and appearances like adele. That's why when they see a woman flamboyant as beyonce and who can sing they feel some type of way.

[@thealmightykitsune5844]

I swear to God ppl sleep on Beyoncé vocals like who still dances like that AND still produce Quality Good vocals like her? They try to put her in that category of “just a performer” but clearly She’s so much more than that. Ppl like Beyoncé are Rare these days.

[@Steven-qi4gm]

I don’t ever imagine I’ll buy a Beyoncé song/album, I’m more in to rock and dance type music. But I’m surprised anyone would say she is anything other than an exceptional singer.

[@ungoliver]

check Beyoncés `Sex On Fire` cover from Glastonbury, you might like it! :)

[@Kasey113]

Same here. I'm all about the metal and don't particularly enjoy the type of music she sings, but only a moron or someone looking for an excuse to dismiss her, would try to argue that Beyonce is not an exceptional vocalist.

[@snugbugxxx]

I agree, on the whole she’s not my thing musically, but her voice is awesome. Halo gives me goosebumps.

[@WElppp]

Listen to Don’t Hurt Yourself off Lemonade. It’s Blues-Rock perfection.

[@Pannerin]

Maybe the Freemasons remix of Ring The Alarm could work for you

[@Annalovesautumn]

She's unmatched, honestly

[@NoticeMeTompai]

Something else that always amazes me about Beyoncé is her volume. Someone mention in the comments below just how much her voice fills up the room. It's incredible and not as easy as it may seem. She can make herself sound so much larger, bigger and brighter. If I could've been a fly on the wall for this rehearsal😩

[@iantuition]

that's her resonance doing that. she knows how to use her body, diaphragm up to nasal cavity (mask area), to amplify her voice and make it sound better.

[@Mac-mp4kj]

Beyoncé is one of the few current singers who have a star-rated voice. Anyone saying she can’t sing is just simply lying to themselves. She also knows to preserve her vocals and take care of herself. She is a huge example and icon for anyone who enjoys singing.

[@soaribb32]

I heard that about "vibrato comes naturally when you do it right" so I feel kinda educated when Sam says it.

[@JK-up7ng]

she has te hardest songs. Her technique is unmatched. So underrated as a vocalist

[@Selenerre]

OK FIRST OF ALL, THE FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING BACKGROUND ✈

[@KKNTores]

For someone who is not an american, can you explain why one would choose that background? I'm aware of the press conferance that was held there, but not sure if this is an inside-joke or a political statement😊

[@anb2526]

@@KKNTores There's a whole joke (not sure if it's a legit mistake or if they did it at the store on purpose) about the Trump campaign mistakenly booking the press conference at this landscaping store (LOL) instead of at the actual Four Seasons HOTEL. Plus, there is like an "adult entertainment" store right next to the landscaping store, which makes it even funnier.

[@dailyofacne]

agree

[@kandirain_1172]

It is very common to have vibrato in your voice if you were raised going to church (especially in the black culture and in the south). It's different from vibrato that comes with classical training, mostly because of the the vowels I think. But popular music is so heavily influenced by R&B, hip-hop, and gospel these days, that it's not a surprise that it's more acceptable now. And yes, Beyoncé has become a beast in her vocals as well as on stage. Anyone who says she's overrated is not looking at her abilities objectively, as u stated. Or they're just jealous 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@lilsouth01]

Everybody vibrato is different and it just has to be contolled, but your vibrato is the same singing any song, depending on if the vibrato is to be fast medium or slow, which is were control comes in. 💯💯💯 They can actually identify a person from their vibrato bc everybody vibrato is different. #Voice101

[@HanaRosePrevious]

Totally! Although I noticed on her recent albums esp the one with Jay Z (Everything is love) she did more talk singing/rap singing and less vibrato and held notes. But I hate that minimal pop sound with zero vocal dynamics so who cares if it's not "pop" to use vibrato... Lol but meanwhile Rihanna is a hugely successful pop star more mainstream sounding than bey and yet she has such a distinctive vibrato Also!

I had no idea he was going to talk about the people who say Beyonce' can't sing, but I was absolutely thinking that. I have no idea how someone can listen to her, a person who other singers and voice teachers admire and stan, and try to diminish her talent. I don't get it. But like he said, you can not like someone and still acknowledge they have a talent or skill.

[@Msd4-13]

He didn’t know at first that people were saying it. He must’ve read comments on his other videos of him reacting to Beyoncé. I lot of people including myself commented on how people say that she can’t sing or that she’s overrated.

Sam, wonderful video as always! Your lesson on audiation has me curious... is there a correlation between audiation and internal monologue? Have you worked with, or know of, a singer that doesn’t have an internal monologue? If so, does not being able to mentally hear sounds affect their training/approach to singing?

I love Beyoncé, she puts in the work. She knows she has talent, but she sought out to better it. Dance lesson, vocal lessons, all of it. She always try to elevate herself despite already being at the top, and she never settles (typical Virgo). She actually cares about her work, which is something I feel like this newer generation of artist are lacking. I remember when I was little and I didn’t know who she was (I’m 15 for reference), I used to tell my mom “Mommy play the song that the lady with the golden voice sings” cause I always thought she had an amazing rich voice. People can call “overrated” (bullshit) all they want. She has the talent and work ethic and the sales to prove them wrong. Awesome reaction btw!
