Prince - The Beautiful Ones

[mariannasnoopy]

Sad , but if it wasnt for beyonce i wouldnt have known this song!

[fede4real]

ONE OF THE BEST PEICES OF MUSIC i HAVE EVER HEARD

[qrwa123]

this version is beautiful like all his music ;)

[LoveMl30]

Beyonce's Version Is Better !

[fede4real]

@LoveMl30 honestly do u have ears or only 2 pieces of meat each side of your head?

[LoveMl30]

@fede4real I say what i Want to say 2012 Freedom Of Expression You know it ?

I don't think so Biaattchh ! Kisseeess Mwwaaaaaa !!

[fonziegee]

If we get married... would that be cool?

I love that line.

[JohnAllanification]

a guy who has the ball's to say this to a woman - i hope yr all listening..

all you lovely creature's.

[romeroenrique]

Best performer on stage ever! Saw him back in '86. If you have a chance to see him live..GO! :)

[fede4real]

@romeroenrique agree best show on earth

[Nathaliex0]

Beyonce is talented, but Prince is prince. Beyonce is overproduced now versus Prince always produces quality music. Every song is written and produced by him. <3

[fede4real]

@Nathaliex0 please dont even compare or enuamrate reasons,its disrespectful to Prince.Plain and simple no need tot alk its about facts adn the facts are there for anybody who has 2 ears adn 2 eyes

[Nathaliex0]

@fede4real cool story bro

[Nathaliex0]

i cant wait to see prince this saturday. i remember listening to this album on vinyl. trust me it's a better quality then cds. Prince C U DEC 3

[masterofillusion1]

@Nathaliex0 Have a good time. Where is he performing? How much did you pay for tickets? I want to see Prince perform.

[Nathaliex0]

@masterofillusion1 i only paid 70 for my tickets including tax, i saw him in his Welcome 2 Canada tour last year. :) If you can see prince perform its worth every dollar

[fede4real]

@Nathaliex0 wow prin e performed the day of my 30 birthday!how was the show? I saw him 5 years ago in London at the O2 AMAZING

[Nathaliex0]

@fede4real ooo! i saw him in canada. it was an amazing show! tickets were pretty cheap i paid 70 for really good seats. best concert of my life, he did a double encore too! :D

[callicolady]

if you wrote this song for the person you fancy and played it to them - you would defo have pulled ;)



[0136ron]

Great rain

-prince's song.

[bugs9413]

Hehe, BEYONCE sang this song just as good, if not better. Like, seriously. It's a good song, and Beyonce did it more than justice. She did WONDERS.

[MsSashajackson]

I agree I'm part of the younger generation and let me say I'm jealous that I wasn't born during the time of good music todays music sucks it's mostly about money, women, and sex nobody will ever compare to amazing artist like prince, mj, Beatles, Elton John ect...

[lots2luv42]

NOBODY can cover a song written, produced or performed by Prince that does it justice. Even the songs he wrote for other people (i.e. I can't make you love me, Do me baby) sound infinitely better than the artists to whom he sold them for performance.

[portaccio]

@lots2luv42 Even Prince would admit that Sinead O'Connors version of Nothing Compares To You is THE definative version, unknowingly written BY Prince FOR Sinead. You would be surprised by the number of classic (so called) original songs that are actually covers.

[1318991]

Beyonce aint shit compared to Prince

[ShalomVaChon]

he may not know where he's going, he may not know what he needs, but ONE thang is for certain....

[authenticintuition]

ummm... fuck beyonce

[TheMusicalMan1993]

love this song so smooth & simple n classic soul!!!

[aknowneemus]

the chord change at :56 is on par with anything Gershwin did. Beautiful

[BigWiggerNoobTube]

Man im from the now generation BUT our music cant even compare to somthing as awsome as this.

[4EVRPK]

@BigWiggerNoobTube SO VERY TRUE WHAT HAPPEN TO MUSIC LIKE THIS

[hwy22boy]

@BigWiggerNoobTube . i was born in '82 and i got to get to experience this for a short time. i consider myself lucky. my moms and pops would play nothing but oldies when i was comming up. thats why im considered "old school" by todays standards, bt i consider myself lucky. i feel sorry for the younger generation, they really missed out on a good thang. 97% of music today is bullshit..

[angelforfreedom]

Thank you Prince for gittin' with the times and not deletin' yo ish off this mufugga!  ;D

[crh2010]

I remember I was able to the screaming part real well when I was a kid then I got older and I couldnt anymore lmao

Anyways great song

PRINCE=GOAT

[Theamazingnick107]

love this song

[VinzZissou78]

Beyonce is no where near Prince's level.

[TakeNotice100]

Beyonce sung this wayyyyyyyy bettter!!!!!! Prince is screaming and its hurting my ears.........

[Nikki90001]

@TakeNotice100 STFU this is prince song he is original beyonce and mariah isnt near prince's level in my opinion beyonce and mariah carey sucks bo sounded ridiculous singing this

[TakeNotice100]

@Nikki90001 and your grammar isn't on my level. Please fix that when you address me...*flips hair*

[DrugWhore1]

how is he screaming?, seriously like besides from anything what you said doesnt make sence, obiously you've never been screamed at before hahaha

[TakeNotice100]

@DrugWhore1 Obviously you haven't taken a grammar class before. I stated my opinion and I don't have to explain MY OPINION to anyone.. Have a nice day now:)

[DrugWhore1]

okay whatever, i dont care about my grammar asshole im not in school fuck calm down

[Phattillebuff]

im inlove with this song..... prince ur the boss, but on a real thou beyonce killed it.. but nutn beats the original....peace

[aloisiopiresjr]

I prefer Mariah!! Mariah is the best sing..... Beyonce is crazy singing! hahahahahaha

[cinnamo1]

surprised prince hasn't cried and got this taken down yet. i love him and everything but i've discovered music through youtube that i would have never normally found. if he stops his music being heard then..how are people who don't know about his music going to find out about it?

[buggie198]

Old School Prince

[wrizm212]

ladies ladies..easy now..the real question is which one of u is single:)

[bebreezy93]

Ahh. I love listening to this music. I love the feeling it gives me. It's like going into another world. I never want to leave it.

[TataLiciousFame]

OMG! shut the fuck up , people came here because they heard Beyonce remake it.. maybe some of you didnt .. but does it matter?? were all watching this video NOW. so shut up and watch it and stop bashing Beyonce .. fucking idiots

[Scorpymhk]

Why in god's name are these people talking about Beyonce and Steve Jobs? What are you people smoking?

The only thing Beyonce has on Prince is about 5 inches of height and twenty pounds.

[comeonnowism]

@Scorpymhk thank you so very much.

[alexusmurdel]

Whoa! Where TF did Beyonce come from? O.o

[jaysupadupafly]

Its funny how people always trashing Beyonce, yet she is one of the few artist out today that gives shine to artists, she knows how to pay her respects. She not trying to out do prince, she doing her own thing, while letting you know that hey I know good music. Beyonce is a fan just like all of us, quit hating all the damn time.

[TataLiciousFame]

@jaysupadupafly thank you!

[Mechanb]

This song is for all of us who loved steve jobs and his awsome ipod

[REALSOUL4]

@Mechanb "You are absolutely right if it wasn't for him we wouldn't be listening to "PRINCE" on the ipod or the computer!! "Thank you Mr Steve Jobs it was a "BEAUTIFUL" thing you did for the world"!!!

[REALSOUL4]

"PRINCE IS THE ORIGINATOR AND CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED"!! "READ HIS NAME P.R.I.N.C.E."!!! "BEAUTIFUL ONE"!!!!

[ItsADarkKnight2nite]

Now THIS IS PRINCE. This right here, this the true Prince Rogers Nelson right here in his best. Perhaps one of his best songs he ever recorded next to "Kiss" and "When Doves Cry" and "Future baby mama". This is the classic R&B/funk/soul of Prince.

[MissOJAY]

love this tempo

[MissOJAY]

WAAAAAW!



[AlienatedStud]

Prince is such a fricken inspiration. HOW CAN YOU NOT BE INSPIRED BY HIM? HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW??????­??? Don't respond, it's a rhetorical question.....DUH!

[sulimander]

GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS UNDOUBTED

[axis462]

Beyonce doesn't know the meaning of the subtlety. You can't belt this song out at the top of your lungs for five minutes minutes. You've gotta chill for the first 4 and then you unleash.

This song has only one flaw. There should be a distorted, fifteen minute, SHREDDING guitar solo at the climax. Otherwise it's perfect.

[raineray1]

beyonce made me fall inlove with this song her cover was amazing,prince is so great.

[coryfizzle]

Jam.

[slimshady0297]

Okay, can someone please tell me what Beyonce has to do with this song? I'm just here because Prince is a legend.

[TataLiciousFame]

@slimshady0297 she sung this at one of her concerts. her fans wanted to hear the original, and we credited beyonce for that. simple.

[andreannabrown]

While people so busy saying yuck to Beyonce doing a rendition of this song, NEVER did anyone stop to think that MAYBE Prince gave her the right to AND she was honoring his music by doing so....

[MegaNetta20]

man can nobody do it like him.

[MastrLordi]

28 people arent The beautiful ones, but The people who love prince ARE

[myrnalovescats]

Yuck I didnt even know beyonce remade this song omg wth that sucks .. this song is one of those pricnce songs u just dont touch.. damn know all i can think of is beyonce singing this song ! thanks i should have never come here ! Prince Rules

[xxtasha10xx]

I've never heard or going to listen to Beyonce's version because it will ruin Princes ORIGINAL version...Don't get me wrong i think Beyonce is a wonderful artist and a powerful voice but I love Princes version too much to ruin it.

[ajsings1]

@xxtasha10xx but i gotta give it to beyonce she did work it and u can see the veins coming out of her neck although i love prince beyonce sang it just like this

[romeroenrique]

Thumbs up your ass if it took Beyonce to come to listen to this Prince Gem. lol!

[TheFootegirl73]

@romeroenrique LMAO!!! CHEERS!

[memdiva]

All of these people who are on here talking about they never heard this till beyonce covered it go jump off a cliff! So pathetic! Showing more respect to Beyonce ( a nobody) over Prince a musical genius! A damn disgrace!! All hail Prince!!

[TataLiciousFame]

@memdiva a nobody with 16 grammys and 4 platinum albums.. lmao shut up, you sound so stupid

[memdiva]

@TataLiciousFame LMFAO shut your dumb ass up & what the f#ck does Grammys mean these days when it all boils down to it? Teena Marie had no grammy's, Mariah has only 5 and Chaka Khan maybe has 2 & they are all better damn singers than Beyonce! I dont give a damn if she had 50 grammys she will never be on the level of a Prince, MJ, Whitney, Mariah, etc do some research before you start bragging on her unoriginal ass because Bey's last album is a flop & she has never had one album to go diamond.

[memdiva]

@TataLiciousFame and I bet your ignorant Beyonce worshiping ass dont even know what a diamond album is or means lmao! Prince is a legend and if you think Beyonce like I said earlier a NOBODY compared to an artist like Prince is better than him shows just how ignorant you are! Clearly if you read previous posts I am NOT the only that feels that Prince is better so go to bed little girl and let grown people enjoy real music and and real artists!

[TataLiciousFame]

@memdiva lmao wow little girl? your the one who sounds like a little girl writing a whole paragraph calling someone a nobody.. but your talking about them? lol OKAY! like i said before you sound stupid.

[Kg0ts0]

Beyonce worked it with this song!

[Ashemr]

I dislike when one artist makes a song, and then another one does. Because fans don't see it as Beyonce showing Prince Honor and paying him homage.

[iSHEREE09]

@Ashemr umm i do and so do all the other beyonce fans checking out this video because of her. be grateful that she brought this song to a younger generation attention. We KNOW that this is a prince song but 80's are so done, and they have been. be happy she covered this song cuz she made this song come back to life

[pinkkitty504]

All these ppl going hard on BEYONCE' but to be honest if she wouldnt have covered it I wouldnt have known about... She didnt take his song...she guided light to it for all us younger individuals who didnt know about it!!!

[BeyonceStans4]

OMG guys there is a rumor that Beyonce went into studio with Prince to record a song of his new album.

Ahhhh I hope its true! Can u believe it The Queen & The Prince in one song! o.O

[Simatary]

@BeyonceStans4 shes not the Queen but that would be awesome

[jazz200808]

If you're listening to this because of Beyonce's version...i feel sorry for you....dont get me wrong she sounded great but she cut it short and messed up words...in my opinion if you cover Prince do him justice......the best version is the original!!

[54Mechanic1]

Ahh...memories of this song. This entire album and movie was IT!!

[StarpeemReturns]

Mariahs version is my fave, but beyonce did fantastic live and neither lady can take this song from prince who wrote the fabulous track..

[Princefanforver]

There's only ONE version of this song that counts, which is the BEST version and that's this version. All the others no matter the artist is just a big fat FAIL!!!

[jonstjamesnumba1]

Is it gonna be da Q-ster or is it gonna be Chelsea, cuz since Mike Seaver/Growing Pains eye finally want U . . . da beautiful ones always smash da pic on da NET . . . Happy early B-DAY!!!

[dudette0911]

Beyonce covered this song? Lol, I'm just here because I love Prince.

[jnfan2011]

@dudette0911 metoo. no one else needs to cover it.

[TakeNotice100]

@dudette0911 you now she did........you probably contributed half of the views!*rolls eyes*

[baconpoptarts]

Just saw the movie, this may just be the best song on the entire soundtrack. I want Beyonce to go away now.... so done with her. Not hatin' I'm just sick to death of her!!

[MrJonnie22]

Gruff Rhys cover?

[burritowoah]

usher should cover it <3

[rellenoz]

Beyonce and Mariah need to be shot for trying to cover this one. I'd love to hear a male singer cover it though. Not Cisco.

[Creeper613]

@rellenoz Babyface shuld cover it!

[diggysimmionswifey]

@rellenoz AMEN PLEAE DONT GET ME wrong i love beyonce but she need to be shot cause i am in love with this song and songs just need to be left alone

[chasdffdf]

@diggysimmionswifey thank you for ponting that out

[desertflwrs]

is it just me or does 'shawty is a 10' sound like the opening of this song...

[Cece122]

Wow I don't remember reading anywhere that beyonce was better than prince. So apparently the 'older' generation needs to get their glasses fixed.....

Anyway....love this song! Not a big prince fan but I have a greater appreciation for it after seeing purple rain. Always liked this song though.

[obdiane]

What the heck, people come on this post because Beyonce song Princes song....?? Prince did it the best. You younger folks get on my nerves ,coming to these sites( after hearing it song by someone on Glee or remade by some second rate artist,. and then basically diss the original artist). Give me a break the original is always the best.

I like Beyonce ,but she is not even close to Princes talent.

[tonshonia]

@obdiane i agree with that these teeny bobbers dont know real music

[murderville1]

Beyonce, who?

[nuperior]

Thought M. Carey & Dru Hill's version was nice too. I think they didi that before Beyonce'... But either way Prince's original is too hard, can't beat it!

[BeautifulRuin1312]

Beyonce fucked this song up..... i disappointed in her. I STILL LOVE YOU THO BEYONCE!!!!!!!

[nyal131]

Beyonce did not bring me here Prince did because he is great no offense to the Beyonce fans. Prince writes, produces and arranges his music there is no comparison. Thank You and I am a part of the younger generation.

[Jasy101]

umm wow! Nobody is saying beyonce's cover is better than the original! This is the younger generation thanking her for introducing us to this song! Gosh why do yall assume stuff all the time the top comments are just saying beyonce brought us here not saying beyonce cover is better! READ PPL!!

[MakeLoveNoBabiez]

I love PRINCE with all my heart and I grew Up Listening to His music more than MJ's because my Dad was a big fan....But I'm sorry, BEYONCE's rendition of this song is much more intense and vocally superior...THATS JUST THE TRUTH....i'm not saying beyonce is better than prince....I'm saying she deserves props for how she delivered that song LIVE....I know PRINCE was proud to see how she performed his song....

[sanasusa]

beyonce is fantastic but Prince is divine

[unc518]

I'm glad B covered this or I probly wudda never heard it I LOVE this song both versions are good u can't even try to deny that

[Asimon912]

Classic!

[billyswifey19]

this song is for my lady l love yo baby baby baby

[170flyguy]

Mariah 1st introduced this song to me when she covered it on her Butterfly album with Sisqo amazing duet

[goingyard06]

Greatest. Song. Ever.

[smush48]

im not hating on beyonce...but....let's get real.....NOTHING beats this original....that movie scene was very realistic.....morris won the battle...but prince won the overall war..

[reeleast]

@smush48 Couldn't Have Worded That Any Better!!!

[akuTee2010Elle]

the best this was sung was by the artist himself :) , when I seen "Purple Rain" the first time I fell in love with Prince as an artist, and absorbed him :) that scene in Purple Rain when he performed this was so wowww to me when it came out, ,,for me nothing tops that !

[EccentricSoulfly1]

this song is so romantic and powerful

and I knew it before beyonce

[EccentricSoulfly1]

this song is so romantic

and I knew it before beyonce

[maxiejones2838]

i love prince

[dooiedo]

Prince and Madonna..often imitated NEVER duplicated. We may be gettin' gray, but Gen X'ers, we ain't dead yet.

[jonathanr1295]

I liked it better when people would just sit down and listen to music. And if there was a comment it pertained to how good the song is and only that.

[somugambi]

Prince is the one artist whose music should never be touched. Beyonce should stick to singing her own songs. She seems pretty good at it.

[UV0023]

Beyonce who?

I listen to this masterpiece because of Prince and his awesomeness, that's all, not 'cause some other artist performed it

[purpleismyfave17]

@TheKomaaa hahahahah fucking dyke :) check your facts, just because one review gave it a great review doesnt mean its the greatest album ever, fucking bitch learn the facts moron :) idiot

[TheJayMoney2012]

what the beyonce did this song when?

[purpleismyfave17]

@TheKomaaa ummmm she does dumbass...wait your right how could she not want money?!!? oh the 40,000$ earrings,the dresses the cars, the commercials about face cream, ticketmaster, credit card commercials, movies...ummm go on?? and yes! i heard the album with the shitty 5th grade lyrics that probably why is sold horribly and got dreadful reviews...pfft! beyonce is a joke

[MalinaJay]

Luv, luv this song...

[YvGenesis]

Thumbs up if your here for the Original From purple rain and of course the singer himself prince

[jamesdeansman]

are you guys crazy? mariah carey KILLED THIS SONG. it was so passionate and i even freakin teared up in the end.

[JazmineLove0322]

Love this song <3

[DARJOSDER]

To me Beyonce did good with the song,but I just don't like when some people just accredit her when it's Prince song. Some people really need to stop and take the time to go back and listen to great timeless music like this and realize that musicians like Prince paved the way for new generation artist. It's funny because some people act like this song just came out lol. Just remember Prince is the original.

[missSpecialDi]

she could really never top prince...prince is.....prince! beyonce is completly comercial...she does music to sell. prince does real music...something that never gets old!

[SashaBeyonceFierce]

Thumbs up if Beyonce` brought you here!

[bigvinamac]

personally i thought beyonce did a good job and i'm pretty sure prince would feel the same way. let's not forget they did perform together. so i don't know why people are knocking her for it.

[richlove404]

who care if anyone cover this songs it is one of the best classic song ever.

[Danielleminaj18]

@sackmajik well get over it everybody does :-P

[sackmajik]

Amazing. Do not understand how anyone could have the audacity to attempt a cover of this song - even in tribute.

[Shawty1994TO]

Relax bitches it was just a cover that she sang, she was not trying to make a statement. Enjoy the damn song and stop calling people out.

[CpeanutB]

beyonce and this generation dont got nothing on prince .with out the studio this gen. would sound like crappp

[gammin5]

@CpeanutB umm have you not heard beyonce live she is not a studio singer

[MrScEaRbEaR1]

i doubt prince would want beyonce. she's not the hottest thing on earth. (not callin' her ugly cause she's pretty) jus sayin'.

[arianalovesyou23]

Nobody sang it like my man. <3

[TheSyman70]

Prince the master of his on interpretation luv him his music..don't hide the truth of who you are..cos you'll be lying to yourself

[mi33slick]

beyonce brought me here

[MsJojo9194]

love this so much n always have!

[shotsreds]

Classic Prince!

[yashicat5]

hahahhaha beyonce can't touch this version. this has foreplay and eruption!

[1994cecepooh]

bey brought more passion and emotion to this song but, prince is the original artist so i respect that. but, this is version and band is a little for me

[BayAreaSFGG]

@1994cecepooh more passion and emotion? what kinda drugs u using?

[MrPrincefan7]

@1994cecepooh You need to get your ears cleaned out..

[masterofillusion1]

@1994cecepooh Beyonce is a joke compared to Prince. This geezer is a music legend.

[1994cecepooh]

@masterofillusion1 funny that prince doesn't feel that way.

[masterofillusion1]

@1994cecepooh Prince just wants to fuck her.

[1994cecepooh]

@masterofillusion1 no, he doesn't. i'm sure every man respects that she's jay z wife and won't ask that of her.

[masterofillusion1]

@1994cecepooh What planet are you on? No man respects that she's Jay Z's wife. I mean good luck to Jay Z. However, If Beyonce bent over i would stick it up Beyonce's arse without any hesitation. I'm sure Prince would do the same. In fact im sure every man on the planet would do the same. Especially Prince.

[1994cecepooh]

@masterofillusion1 doesn't matter cuz the bottom line is bey loves jay and would never cheat on him.

[sexygreem]

Baby baby baby whats it gonna be¡

[Johnzzism]

really, I think shes a bit overrated, maybe its just her pop songs that are lame. halo was okay i guess.I think alica keys trumps beyonce
