This woman singing WROTE the song. Are you people not reading the description? There's a lot of real talent in the background behind these artists that aren't writing their songs, meanwhile somehow all of you are convinced they do. It's a big sham.. lol.
I love Bey, but I prefer this. Beyonce tends to focus more on projecting certain vocals. Her vibrato, runs and timing makes me forget what Bey is trying to sing to me. It takes away from projecting the message and meaning. Fierce though.
I love Beyonce But I like this version Better her voice suits the song better,and its a relief from Beyonce's Yelling annoying voice, Dont get me wrong.i love Bee but no lie her voice and pitch is soooo annoying this is a great cover!!
@brenden718 crystle is the person who wrote the song that beyonce sang to. this is the version that beyonce heard before deciding she wanted to record it.
There both good i prefer the chorus that crystle does if beyonce sang it, it would make it sound a whole lot better but oh well there both as good and they are both great singers no need to hate
Its a DEMO lol not a finished polished product. So what I dont understand is why everyone comparing hers as if she was doing a rendition of it when she wasn't. Of course (to most) its not going to sound as good.
i like both but its a big difference in voice and words. cristyle is a gospel/r&b/pop singer. beyonce is a jazz/r&b/pop singer. the both different and good in their own way. i lean more toward cristyle tho but both are great
Well, that's ok though. With any great artist, they aren't going to interpret another person's art the same way. Look at Whitney's version of I will always love you by Dolly Parton. They sound like two completely different versions but it works. The same here. I like Vicki's version, but I like Bey's version better. I love the harmonies but if you heard the original(VB's) and liked that, then you most likely, most people won't like Bey's version. That's ok. That's what makes art great.
I love Beyonce's official recording, but I love this demo so so much. I love this woman's voice, and love the chorus on this demo: "I'm scared of lonley (I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be) Oohh, ooooh, (I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be) I'm scared of lonely, (I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be aloooone, no more)." I LOVE that. I love listening to this demo, but I love Beyonce's version also.
I like this version, but I love how Bey made the tempo slower at the beginning. It's builds toward the climax. There is no build-up on this song. And you can tell much of the song was changed too. But this is not bad for a demo.
Again, it amazes me how great Bey's ear and mindset toward what a song needs. She is a great vocalist too. Of course, most people know this. I hope after hearing this, people would hear what Bey brings to the table.
FALSE....talent also lies within writing skills...not only vocals...because what would be if we had people who only knew how to sing and no writers?......lyrical content actually means more to me than the voice.....
NO! If you are a lyricist/poet/rapper, then you'd make sense, but you DO NOT because a SINGER'S TALENT is in SINGING, hence the word SINGER. Case in point: Ashanti is a good songwriter, but she can't sing for SHIT.
To point out: Bey changed the hook up a bit, and I know that doesn't mean she wasn't a main writer.
The lyrics of Beyonce's version is better on the chorus!!! Beyonce probably wrote the extra lyrics on the chorus But this girl can definitely sing! I like both versions!!!
beyonce, have somthing in her voice... i like her version more... i have a chance in zagreb to listen how she sings this live, that was the best concert...she is the best!!!
this version SHIIITS all over beyonces! beyonce vocally has more of a range and is more colorful than cristyle but sang this song in a lower key than beyonce, which i found rediculous. also, the chorus in this version was great with the layered vocals and beyonce and rodney just changed the shit and ruined it...dont get me started on the bridge of bey's verson...this version KILLS!
NO FUCKIN' WAY!! Beyonce kicks Cristyle's ass!!!!!
Beyonce co-wrote this song with other composers. I sooo rather : "And i'm scared of being the only shadow i see along the wall, and I'm scared of the only heart beat I hear beating is my own
and I'm scared of being alone, I can't seem to breathe" than "I don't wanna be, i don't wanna be"
This song was written by: Beyoncé Knowles; Cristyle Johnson; Jerkins, Rodney "Darkchild"; LaShawn Daniels; Rico Love; Solange Knowles.
She didn't do just "some revisions" SHE CHANGED THE LYRICS:
I sooo rather : "And i'm scared of being the only shadow i see along the wall, and I'm scared of the only heart beat I hear beating is my own
and I'm scared of being alone, I can't seem to breathe" than "I don't wanna be, i don't wanna be"
And I ALSO RATHER: "I cry at night cause my baby is too far to be by my side to wipe away this tears of mine" than "cause i beg and nobody is by my side".
You're so fucking retarded!! BEYONCE IS A VERY SMART PERSON!! She's so talented, she's the best, U STUPID HATER!! If u dislike Be' why do u watch videos related to her?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yea dim wit...shes soo smart, even tho she doesnt have a completed HS education. this video isnt a BEYONCE video, im here to hear cristyle's version of the song...
you continue to prove that youre a dumbass...and i dont really talk to dumbasses...
Well, the point is to embellish upon the arrangement some and "make it your own". BTW, Cristyle wrote "Angel" with a number of different people... And everyone's got an opinion.
The background vocals are quite Brandy-esque... I prefer Bey's version, because her vocal is more fluid, more refined and yet there's emotion ALL OVER it. I do like that "i don't wanna be" refrain, though.
I heard this version first, a long time ago - and because of that I prefer it over Beyonce's - The version I have sounds cleaner - but I like her voice.... I wish Beyonce would do more original stuff that she had a hand in writing. Thats the next step for her - I love Beyonce - shes great.
Mhh yeah, this version has something more intense to it, it might be the 'I dont wanna be' part but I think jus everything. I love it! More than Beyoncé's one I guess.
Cause Beyonce makes it more commercial ... com'on, It's Beyonce... there are billion people who want her...
