Howard: Just get the board feed. If someone off key. It’s pretty funny. This is Beyonce form the Today Show. It’s always funny. Remember Enrique Iglesias.
Man: Enrique Iglesias and McCartney was another.
Howard: Yeah.
Beyonce: If I were a boy even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted
And go drink beer with the guys
Robin: Where did this happen?
Howard: The Today Show.
Beyonce: And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
'Cause they stick up for me

if I were a boy
Everyone: Whoa! Ha ha!
Howard: What a shriek.
Beyonce: I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man

I'd listen to her
'Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Howard: That’s good. *Howl*
Beyonce: 'Cause he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone
Robin: Wait a minute, what did the people hear?
Man: They were hearing the cd or the track.
Robin: So she’s lip syncing?
Howard: Yeah, basically. But you know she’s singing along with it. Having a hard time I guess. Isn’t a good voice.
Beyonce: I'd put myself first
Robin: And how did this get leaked out?
Howard: I don’t know. This is all over the internet.
Robin: Wow.
Man: A funny board man sent it out.
Howard: Yeah. Somebody I’m sure she wants to strangle.
Robin: Yeah I’m just wondering why he picked on her.
Howard: Cause remember Enrique Iglesias had to come in here and prove he can sing.
Beyonce: And make the rules as I go
'Cause I know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me
Howard: Why can’t these people just sing a song and not sing it to a track. I mean I don’t get it.
Man: They don’t do it that way anymore, I swear to god. They just want the most perfect…
Howard: They’re worried about the audio quality on television…
Man: They’re worried about the audio quality. They’re worried about time; they can’t get a sound check. And especially if they’re throwing them outside on that plaza. They’re not going to have great sound.
Enrique: All I need is a rhythm divine
Lost in the music, your heart will be mine
All I need is to look in your eyes
Viva la musica, say you'll be mine
Robin: I think hers is worse. Hers is about the worst there is.
Beyonce: To come home, to come home

Howard: I think she’s hotter now because she can’t sing.
Man: That’s the way a hot chick should sing.
Howard: Now I get it.
Beyonce: If I were a boy
I think I
Howard: That’s probably why it took Jay-Z so long to marry her…
Robin: She can’t sing.
Howard: Yeah. I don’t want that secret getting out. I guess when they sing to a track they don’t care. She obviously can sing right?
Robin: Well it sounds like she can’t hear anything.
Man: They probably have it running through the monitors a little bit. What she’s probably hearing is her voice the pre-recorded fact….
Robin: Right, but you know how it is when you have head phones and whatever you can’t hear what you’re doing.
Howard: Yeah, whenever I sing it doesn’t sound quite right.
Beyonce: could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
Howard: What else do I have to play? I got a ton of things to play here quite frankly.
