  • Mary cant sing

  • anyone know whether there is a full video of this performance?

  • watch this daily, love jayz's reaction to bee singing, hes like 'damnn i hear her sing everyday but never realised how amazing she is';) love Beyonce and Jay Z!!!!!

  • Ya'll need to understand SHE WAS SINGING FOR HER MAN! Look how he just stepped aside and let her do her thing. She wasn't trying to out due Mary. And she wasn't trying to impress anyone just Jay-Z that night. The rest is history.

  • this is what she knows best YOU GO GIRL

  • She sounds pretty good but she aint no MARY. Sorry!

  • Mary >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bee

  • B is crazy talented but this song is so 90's NYC......Mary is way more fit for THIS song!

  • beyonce did a great job!

  • naw she shouldve left tht to Mary B. Love B. though.

  • BEYONCE = EFFORTLESS

  • mary who?...

  • @4Bidan Beyonce who? MF

  • she should've been on the recorded version...her vocals SHIT on mary's....

  • Go Bey Go!!

  • i love the way he just stands back and watch B as she kills the song....hes like damn i got a good one...lol

  • why do people always have to compare? it's like they have to pit one over the other for some reason versus just appreciating both women's talents.

  • i love when they perform together...it's like Jay just steps aside and let's Bey do her thing. He just stands there and watches her in amazement like yeah that's my baby! lol

  • beyonce damn near sung it better than mary did... she is a talented women, and u cant knock that hustle or hate!!!!

  • the connection between these two give me chillz...........

  • Can't knock the hustle for real!! Love this song!!!!

  • bey >>> mary #thatisall

  • B's amazing and everything but sometimes she takes it too far, she kinda over sang unnecessarily. The chorus was nice but the end was a lil too much

  • Beyonce Mayne!

  • MARY MERKS THIS SONG WIT EASE...NO ONE ONE CORNER HAS SWAGGER LIKE BLIGE!!!

  • i luv how jay z moved and let bey get some shine

  • Aw... too cute. Love mary and B! Do yall thing!

  • yess she rockd it!!!!!!

  • dammmmmmn, They're just sooo good, it hurts my mind. Unbelievable artists

  • Eeek, bitch gave me goosebumps xD

    there's no doubt both Beyonce and Mary are two of the strongest R&B singers.

  • QUEEN!

  • Why is this woman even attempting to sing this. This is Mary's song before Beyonce even thought about coming on the scene. Wow. Disgraceful! She does not even sound good. Stick to bubble gum pop. This is real hard core R &B.

  • @icecreamladydream damn you deaf?? Beyonce killed this!! mary don't even stand a chance!! get wit it or get gone!!

  • BEYONCE'S IS BETTER THAN MARY'S

  • WOW

  • did you see the way jay just froze when beyonce was singing don't know if it was a look of disgust or what. pretty weird he didn't even make a move lol

  • Mary's is MUCH better. Bouncy couldn't hit the spot.

  • @REALandRAWW It's Beyonce stupid and Beyonce slammed mary's version!!

  • mary j's voice is way 2 complex n 2 powerful 2 b mentioned with beyonce's, jay z shood of not let beyonce do this her voice is not soulful enuff beyonce voice is sub par n very overated she just a great performer/entertainer, i wood take keyshia cole, christina agilera, n alecia keys over beyonce vocally anyday beyonce voice dnt fit this song at all, this is just a good way 4 them 2 to sell there self as a cpl just another thing 4 the media 2 talk about them being the most poweful cpl

  • its not that mary is a better singer or that byeonce is a better singer they both have their style of singing which is different from the other mary being more soulful having that rage and that extra umph in her voice and beyonce basically having that polished voice that can rage but still is very polished they are amazing at their own games but i must admit sometimes i wish mary voice would polish up sometimes just as i wish bey would crank it up lol

  • @belleandchic I'm sorry but Beyonce wins by a landslide!!!!!

  • When and where is this??

  • When and where is this??

  • mary j is better !

  • Beyonce s Gospel vocals are so awesome!!!!!!!!!!! i heard the version with mary but beyonces wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mary wished she had the pipies like Beyonce!!! and i don't care if shes the queen of hip hop soul, beyonce would still sing circles around mary!!!!!!!!!

  • no the hell he didn't!!!!!!!!!

  • the hell he did

  • @HermesPastelle hahaha Beyonce had a major following before Jay came into the picture!!! I along with millons of others were fans of beyonce before Crazy In Love and Bonnie & Clyde!!! but, your opinion is your opinion!!

  • I liked Beyonce too, I don't know why people took my comment as negative.

    But Beyonce was with Destiny's Child and not solo. All of the Destiny's Child members except for Beyonce have all fallen off and they all have beautiful voices.

    of course all of them aren't married to Jay-Z.

  • @HermesPastelle I stand corrected and i apologize!!! much love to you!

  • -B did'nt take them to church,no-=Mary did so All Hail Queen Mary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  • Nah Mary owns this chorus

  • i liked it ....it was good cant say nothing they both were matchin and lookin nice good combination...

  • at my arraignment, screaming "all us blacks got is sports an entertainment", until we even. thievin, as long as im breathin. cant knock the way a nigga eatin. fuck u even!

  • u know Jay with auto tunes contradicted himself>>>>

  • stop taking things so literal. hes not saying dont ever do it. hes saying its being done to death. every song on the radio was doing it. it was a metaphore. why do people in this country take things so literal. its like people who think that the bible is all fact. a METAPHORE. hes was exxagerating a comparison to prove a point.

  • Beyonce' did good for a pop vocalist but as for the soul it was none and she cut short Mary's notes.. Mary sung this higher n with more soul.. Plus Why Jay Z didn't ask her to take it to church like he does Mary all the time?? its obvious.. you need those soulful powerhouse vocals.. but Beyonce' gets her cred point blank

  • he didnt tell bey to take it to church because its obvious bey knows what shes doing. u see how he just stepped aside and gave bey the stage. she knows what to do. bey killed it.

  • sweety beyonce has sung gospel at many events before. how many times have they asked mary to sing a gospel song anywhere? exactly. mary doesnt have the control to sing gospel. beyonce would kill her live just like she did in this video. jay didnt need to tell beyonce to take it anywhere because shes a professional she already knew what she was doing. mary needed help thats whys jay kept telling her to take it to church. take notes

  • beyonce sang at gospel events with destinys child 2 times and she sung gospel in the fighting temptations and the album did good on the gospel charts. the only reason mary won the award is because it was better singers on that song that made the song. and beyonce sounded better than mary on he stand up for cancer song . they told beyonce to sing three times. unlike mary who had to sing with other ppl.

  • @Deadliyah hahahaha girl stop!!! you just mad because yo girl deadliyah wasn't up there and she couldn't sing herself so i know you're not talking!!

  • @DEADliyah lol yeah thats why everybody is saying she sounded better than mary. face it. scary j blige aint hiten on shit. she sounds like shit. bey is on a whole nother level. tell mary to step her vocals up

  • Who is everybody ugly bitch? Yall opinion dont matter. The WHOLE WORLD KNOWS Mary sing better than Beyonce, FACT!

  • @DEADliyah ugly bitch? bitch have u looked in the mirror? i didnt think so. the world KNOWS that bey sings better. its a fact. mary sounds like shit which is why jay z got his wife to sing it. and as u can see the crowd loved it. tell mary to step her wig game up. old ass bitch

  • I HAVE TO AGREE..TRUE

  • @Meanshots22 Gospel is singing about :the good news" of Jesus Christ. "Singing gospel" is not a style. She is NOT singing Gospel.

  • @MsESQusiteAKA who said anything about "singing Gospel" being a style of singing? Maybe u need to reread my comment 

  • @MsESQusiteAKA who said anything about "singing Gospel " being a style of singing? Maybe u need to reread my comment

  • @Meanshots22 i think she asked to sing 3 times.

  • @Oluwaluvlee she sung more than anyone else 

  • yeah i saw dat

  • Is this Radio City Music Hall?

  • Ayyy, I have to admit Beyonce outdid Mary on this one. She killed it

  • Go watch Mary perform this with Jay at Madison Square Garden or on David Letterman... Mary knows how to take it to church Bee did good but you can't beat that

  • after 0:30 you can tell beyonce got in the zone lol

FUK THEM HAtEN ASS HOEs

  • I say this with the most respect. Its clearly that you hate yourself, so go get some help instead of arguing with people over the internet. It's no use. Everyone has their own opinion. But clearly your losing, if you have to put stuff like BEYAWNCE. She CLEARLY isn't boring, if she selling out arenas across the world. And for something to be so boring you sure did watch it . ha. Dont even bother commenting back, your not even worth it.

  • You can say all you want, but at the end of the day YOU DONT MATTER ! bwahahahahaahahahah

  • Ugly FAGG I matter WAYYYY more than yo ugly ass.

  • ...and...you..still..dont..mat­ter ! bwahahawhahahawhwhwhahaha !

  • Ugly FAHGG I matter WAYYYYY more than you.

  • Comment removed

  • wrung mary came out in 92' BEY came out in 97' wit DC git ur shit str8 b4 tryin 2 put talent down

  • shut the fuck up i was trying to say until Bee get the World Music Award she ain't getting no where close to Mary's achievements.. And that Mary ain't have to be out that long to get that award and that Bee been out longer than the time it took Mary to get the Big Award(World Music Award) Over night.. Of course and everybody knows Mary J debut album was in 92 but she was signed to her record Label in 89' soooo there u go!!!

  • Beyonce has won World Music Award for Best R&B artist in 2006. And she won a legend award at the World Music Awards last year for her ouststanding contributions to the arts.

  • Actually your wrong its for Best selling female artist not the best artist Lol... and the 1 in 2008 for her outstanding contribution to music.. it was never a Legend award Mr. or Ms. but thank you for your input

  • Yea i was a legend award... On the WOrld Music Award site it says the recipients of the legend awards were that one man and Beyonce.

  • This is has no soul... she cuts Mary belted notes and runs shorter.. so she couldn't it bring it vocally like Mary..

  • Love them both. Stop hating and get a life.

  • I agree w/ Brkrtffany..I hope I spelled ur username right..Mary J voice is more soulful and beyonce voice is more pop..beyonce have a killer range..both of them are good singers..but I love Beyonce style

  • BEYONCE is the best, so shut it everyone;)

  • Im a singer it must be nice to have someone you can connect with and be onstage with too she got the best of both worlds

  • I think both Mary J. Blige and Beyonce can sing, but their styles are completely different. Mary J. Blige has more of a soulful voice and when you feel down you can turn to her music. Beyonce has more of a pop voice and when you hit the club her music is good. Instead of beating both down, we should look at the good qualities of both.

  • The only thing about MJB is that her "ear" and pitch accuracy can be off at times. Takes too many liberties at times but she has the fullness and the soul with her voice/tone. Not to mention the most influential female artist in the last 20 years in terms of sound. Not to mention, MJB is one of Bey's big influences soundwise. SO there should be respect for both artists. They are big part of Urban and Black music.

  • alright bey

  • B blew mary out of the water...mary can't hang with that vocal training!!!!

  • I love Mary J. Blige. Beyonce may not have as much soul as MAry. But her voice is more powerful and she also can do more techniques with her voice. The only reason ppl cry in Mary J. Blige songs because they have been through the same situations as her and can relate. That why in Cove Magazine's top 50 vocalist of this decade Beyonce was placed number 7 while Mary was placed at number 12.

  • 0.44 B Snaped

  • beyonce turned this song outttt--i love her

  • B forgot this was'nt her show at the end.

    We'll blame sasha for that.

  • its this when they were geting maried

  • damn

  • Bey Killed It

  • Amazing! he was looking at her in awe!!

  • bee did that.......

  • Damn I though no one could sing this song but MAry. But Damn Bey gave her a run for her money.

  • well Beyonce can sing a song over and sound better than the original vocalist

  • BeYAWNcy CANNOT sing NOTHING! She sound STUPID as fuck, Mary sings WAYYYY better than this shit. I felt NOTHING when she was singing, shitty ass WEAK voice, I see why Jay Z took Mary on tour with him MULTIPLE TIMES and NOT this TRASH!

  • Girl..Did u say she sound like Britney Spears..She sounded way better than Britney does. She sings better than half these singers today on her bad days...U just don't like her..That's okay but just because u dnt like her u can't say she sounded horrible.

  • LMAO weak?Worst? Pls whenever beyonce and vocals pop up in the same sentence ur automatically going to hear Good ,Amazing Beautiful ect pop up in it , Beyonce is one of the best when it comes 2 singing so 2 say she cant sing is something only her haters who need 2 get some q tips and clean they damn ears out would say , Mary sings it better and i love me some mary so im not gonna knock her cause of yo funky ass but beyonce gave it a good go and did a great job stop hatin bitch

  • OK bitch its not Facts its ur opinion , only weak ppl ?LMAO so i guess u calling mary herself weak right? She even said beyonce has a great voice MANY if not ALL of the ppl in the music industry compliment bee on her voice and her performances, and OF course her u go with mary again yes mary is a legend but 2 compare her and beyonce is fuckin stupid beyonce is more r&b/Pop mary is r&b/hiphop to different genres of music bitch

  • and as far as wigs and weave dont sit there and act like mary dont rock that shit 2 , and never ever taken seriously? Beyonce has 10 grammys and she has been named one of the richest woman in the world over 3 times shes being more than taking seriously MANY ppl consider beyonce a legend in the making and like i said if i were a boy and single ladies are more pop genre because beyonce is more pop genre! i suggest u calm down 2 u getting all carried away over something like this? Bitch go sit down

  • Get a life THGREATESTSOULSINGER. Beyonce is the QUEEN B ALWAYS. u couldn't do anything she does. all u do is talk. SHUT UP 4 ONCE in your tired life.

  • pLZZZZ do Bee vs. Mary can't knock the hustle... Watch how easily Mary will Trump her

  • I'am, and I will show FACTS of course.

  • Mary

  • its just a cover damn

  • sorry but no one does it like mary

  • She killed it live better than Mary ever has.

  • This is has no soul... she cuts Mary belted notes and runs shorter.. so she couldn't it bring it vocally like Mary..

  • SHE WAS A GOOD REPLACEMENT

  • Great job here

  • killedd it. :)

  • beyonce is a BEAST.. i dont think yall heard them runs at the enD!..lol. dont make no sense

  • thts a bullshit face lie..beyonce sound good..she put mary j asleep..fuk u talkin bout...fukin hater.

  • She put me to sleep with her WEAK ass voice, she could NEVER EVER sing this like Mary and thats a FACT ugly bitch, she sound STUPID as fuck, she cracking and sounding like a dying dog.

  • what does beyonce know about a damn hustle!!!!!! nothing actually not a damn thing its not bout who sounds good its the meaning and it fits Mary J Blige and mary sounds better singing this song!!!!!!!

  • Well Mary J. Blige wasn't there so Jay Z replaced her with Beyonce. And Ol' trust me Beyonce has to hustle everyday to stay in the limelight, sell records, and be who she is. So don't talk about her not knowing what a hustle is.

  • BEYONCE SOUND AMAZING! LOVES IT!

  • Yessss B...she killed that shit!

  • They both are great I prefer Bey cuz I'm a big fan of hers....but their shouldn't be a debate who ever you like is who you like....leave it at that!!!!

  • Shemaiah! hey gurl lol

  • Hey Imani...lmao!!!!!

  • Beyonce rocked it.

  • Fuck mary j she don't have as much stardom internationally as Beyonce loving this tune

  • hush up..bey is the best period. THANX lol

  • Sure whatever beyonce huslted from middle class to selling millions of records. No doubt she worked hard. But I am talking this son in particular. That's why she was going hard like that cause Mary has that voice when she sings that hook you can tell that Mary really hustled not just to get to where she is at but to get away from problems she was having. If beyonce wasn't famous c'mon you think she'd be struggling somewhere in the projects??

  • You dont have to have done drugs, and been from the hood to have soul...its simply not true. She has much soul, it pretty much depends on who you ask...she's the female lil wayne...always hated on, but puts in the work and constantly proves that she has talent and charisma.

  • OMG please never mention Lil Wayne & Beyonce in the same sentence.

    Lil Wayne is the "hot rapper" right now Beyonce has been hot since like '99.

    She has a hell of a lot more talent.

    Lil Wayne has talent but putting his talent in the same class as Beyonce is an insult to my intelligence & others.

    If you must compare Beyonce's talent to a rapper I prefer you mention her husband.

  • But she's not like Jay-Z at all...she IS more like Lil Wayne in the way that many people dedicate their time to hating him and in their work ethic...they both make cd after cd constantly proving their talent.

    Jay-Z waits a while before even putting out a verse let alone an entire cd.

    I didnt mean to insult you, but I think Lil Wayne is a brilliant talent and Beyonce is also.

  • OK I do understand you now it's just that it seems like Lil Wayne's always drugged up a lot & acting silly well Beyonce is a professional like her husband.

  • I did not say u have to have drugs to have soul.I mean come on I hear more soul in Christina Aguleria voice than Beyonce. I mean really listen to their voices. Compare them. BEYONCE"S VOICE HAS NO PERSONALITY. She can sing , but i don't feel what she is singing. I have no connection with it. To me beyonce just sings whatever is written for her (which is true ) and she doesn't have a connection with it herself .

  • But what you were saying is that she hasn't gone through anything...how do you know?

    Her voice does have personality, she just doesn't overwhelm the songs like the people you mentioned, which makes it easier for her to have more range, and which is also why none of the people you mentioned could cover Barbra Streisand like she did, and actually do it without ruining the original.

    I think she is one of the best.

  • Did she ?? let me know .prove me wrong . Doesn't overwelm songs?? take a look at the video again and listen. She butchered that song. and why the hell is she even singing that song anyway. Bey and Jay have songs together. Why did they even got there. It's not like mary is dead or retired. simple as that.

  • It doesnt matter what Mary's status is...whats done is done, and besides that you're talking in circles. Moot point. Its all subjective anyways.
