Jay-Z was on hand at the American Idol Finale last Wednesday night to support his wife Beyonce. He did some backstage videotaping of Bey as she practiced her new song “1 + 1”.
Beyonce, filmed in her dressing room, was accompanied solely by a woman on a keyboard. The footage captured her practicing without a mic or other audio enhancements. The result was a clear demonstration of her amazing voice.
Jay-Z posted the video on his new website Life + Times, along with a note about his incredibly talented wife:
“Sometimes you need perspective. You’ve been right in front of greatness so often that you need to step back and see it again for the first time. This is the dressing room rehearsal for American Idol. NO MICROPHONE. No effects (sic).”
