Fake? |
This week brought us.....'Beyone Branded 'A Fake'' for miming. Read the headline this week She is renowned for having one of the best voices in the business,
but according to reports, pop singer Beyonce mimed the US national
anthem at President Obama’s recent inauguration.Fans around the world praised the 31-year-old for her pitch-perfect
performance, however, recent images on her Tumblr page have caused many
to criticise the singer, with some branding her a “fake.”
Beyonce posted several pictures of what appears to be her rehearsing
the anthem in a studio accompanied by the Marine Corps Band – even
though they did not play at the ceremony. Twitter users were shocked at the revelation she mimed, calling her
“Queen Fraud” and comparing it to when “I found out Santa Claus wasn’t
real … how can do you do this humanity?” While Beyonce is still yet to confirm the reports, soul singing
legend Aretha Franklin said she never even considered lip-synching when
she performed at Obama’s first inauguration ceremony in 2009.“I wanted to give people the real thing and pre-recording never crossed my mind,” she told ABC News.“When I heard that [she mimed] I just really cracked up. I thought it
was really funny, but she did a beautiful job with the pre-record.” However, not everyone was as quick to criticise Beyonce – Jennifer
Lopez defended the singer, saying that some situations call for miming.“In certain venues they do pre-record things because you’re gonna
have that terrible slapback,” she said on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show
recently.
Leroy "Sugarfoot" Bonner, leader of the funk band the Ohio Players, has died at the age of 69. No cause of death has yet been reported. The Ohio Players had seven Top 40 hits in the 1970s, including "Love Rollercoaster," "Fire" and "Skin Tight," and helped define a movement that included Parliament Funkadelic and Kool & the Gang. The band's success stemmed partly from Bonner's playfully commanding lead vocals and gusto. The oldest of 14 children, Bonner ran away from home as a young teenager and played the harmonica on street corners for change. A few years before he died, he took to his Twitter the night that a documentary about his band was broadcast on television. "I am happy doing what I love," he wrote. "This IS pure heaven. The fans out there are like family to me. Every night is like a homecoming."

Charlie Wilson Biography
Charles Kent "Charlie" Wilson (born January 29, 1953) is an American R&B singer-songwriter-producer and the former lead vocalist for the Gap Band. As a solo artist he has been nominated for six Grammy awards, received a 2009 Soul Train Icon Award, and was a recipient of a BMI Icon Award in 2005. In 2009, he was named Billboard magazine's #1 Adult R&B Artist, and his song "There Goes My Baby" was named the #1 Urban Adult Song for 2009 in Billboard Magazine.
Wilson is the national spokesperson for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. As of July 2009, the PCF has raised over $380 million for research and funded more than 1,500 research projects at nearly 200 institutions worldwide. The PCF has set up a Creativity Award in Charlie's name which donates hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to researchers across the country. The Creativity Award allows for the development of creative science that conforms to PCF funding principles but is short-term and designed to allow development of otherwise unfunded ideas.
