Beyonce Used a Teleprompter at Her Roseland Ballroom Show?

As our sister site the Boombox recently reported, diva of destiny Beyonce is in the midst of performing four intimate nights at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City -- to a consistently packed house of fans. But according to Perez Hilton there was one thing just a little off -- Beyonce was using a teleprompter.

Artists have used sheet music, teleprompters, lyrics sheets and more onstage -- which isn't unusual -- but even the momentary conversation King B had with the audience was scripted. Perez Hilton quotes one of his readers in attendance of the concert last night (Aug. 17) as saying:

"It was so distracting that for the first few songs everyone in my immediate area was watching the screen talking the script out loud before she was. It became especially ironic/humorous when she was talking about becoming an actress yet she's reading off of a prompter instead of memorizing the damn words."

Check out a few pictures of Beyonce using the teleprompter here. Do you think she should have relied on her natural stage presence? Or was she really drawing a blank?
