Howard Stern somehow got his hands on the unedited board feed from Beyoncé‘s “If I Were a Boy” performance on The Today Show. The only way this won’t be the most terrifying thing you hear all day is if William Hung records a song that samples fingernails scratching on a chalkboard. Seriously!
To give Ms. Fierce some credit, Stern and his crew pointed out that she probably couldn’t hear herself that well… but I didn’t even realize sounds like this could emerge from a human’s body. It’s like someone was shoving a butt plug up her ass every time she tried to hit a note. Don’t believe me? Listen for yourself.

UPDATE: Rest easy all you single ladies, turns out this was a hoax.
To watch the original performance, follow the JUMP:
holy CRAP…
Doesn’t matter, she can still sing well. You don’t know what the circumstances surrounding this were. Still, it sounds really bad…
Hmmmm….I must really have a tin ear. This did not sound bad at all.
How far did you listen, navymscle? I was about to say exactly the same thing, it wasn’t that bad at first, despite the nasty comments they were making – then she got to the high notes. It’s not pretty. World’s shrillest falsetto.
Now, I still think she is a good singer, but, yeow!
Umm…update the blog please…

Ugh. And once again Howard Stern and his cronies prove how despicable they have truly become.
