[jakewoldai]

2:21 thru 2:28 YESS

2:36 thru 2:48 YEEEEA

i love her <3 Beyonce

[iAMyours111]

did anyone else realised that this is her raw voice and not what comes out thru the speakers ??

[dpeace2325]

better than the orginal singer who ever she is edina something

[boyglitter]

@dpeace2325 Etta James

[dpeace2325]

@boyglitter Okay

[reneeLuvmj1]

@dpeace2325 It's ETTA and no this is not better than the original.Is that a joke or are you just delusional? this isn't beyonce's song and beyonce does not posess the type of emotion etta did when she sung it.Etta has real soul in her voice.Beyonce tries hard to sing with emotion and puts alot of effort into her vocals.which makes it sound pretend.Etta's soul comes naturally to her she doesn't have to try or pretend to sing.Etta's voice is a gift from god beyonce's voice is mediocre at best.

[birdy808]

Great performance. Terrible audience.

[kinshasa365]

i never knew dis song until i heard beyoncee...NOW IM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH IT

[joejpwnsall18]

she owns this damn song.

[mollster94]

shee iss thee besttttt , best voice everrrrr

[kamaro88]

vry good woman

[ammarios]

For me personally, I prefer Christina Aguilera's version... (just my opinion, which I'm entitled to) :-) Personal taste

[ammarios]

@Thedesmend Well good for you

[ammarios]

@Thedesmend Actually, no I can't say anything better. Your age (14) shines through that comment and says it all.

[ammarios]

@Thedesmend Please don't send me personal messages asking me if I'm 'hating on blacks', whatever that's supposed to mean. When you grow up, you will learn that disliking someone's rendition of a song has nothing to do with their race. An example would be your comment saying Christina sounds awful.. am I to automatically assume that you hate white/latin people? It is nonsense.

[Elwillie86]

I GUESS NONE OF THE ASSHOLES ON HERE COMPLAINING THOUGHT ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE WAS PERFORMING IN THE WINTER OUTSIDE THATS WHY SHE'S NOT AS PERFECT AS SHE USUALLY IS. BEY DID GOOD HERE & SHE DOES GREAT IN OTHER PERFORMANCES OF THIS SONG!!!!!!

[Avalita07]

I can see why Etta was upset. Beyonce butchered this beauty of a song!!!!! TERRIBLY ATROCIOUS Beyonce!!! stick to booty poppin!!

[ammarios]

@Thedesmend I do not wish to engage a 14 year old, but I thought perhaps you might benefit from learning this. Attempting to intimidate someone into changing their opinion by threatening to accuse them of racism doesn't work and is irrational.

[ammarios]

@Avalita07 Personally, I have to agree with you (on more than one count).

[Avalita07]

@TheJordanc1995 do you want to be Beyonce Mr? you sound like you need therapy really bad......................just sayin

[Avalita07]

Her voice is sooo dry & annoying with zero empty "emotion"....she wails & shouts plus she sings from her throat.....she sounds soooo bland & country in every song. it sucks!

[Avalita07]

@TheJordanc1995 you are officially obsessed with the rump shaker. wow how sad

[Ricsic6]

@TheJordanc1995 jesus fucking christ.... Ok man you believe what you wanna believe. Theres no harm in that.

JUst keep telling yourself this too: WWE is REAL! And there really is a Santa and a tooth fairy! NO jokes! And these POP stars actually CAN sing like this.......

[Melbosia]

@TheJordanc1995 lol. Now ur Gay too.

[TheGylden]

@TheJordanc1995 wow...how long did it take you to think of this insult. oh wait i see. 2 wks.

[Ricsic6]

@TheJordanc1995 I can, and i just did fool. I've worked with producers who have collaborated with singers like beyonce, and yes she probably can sing better then most, but i know for a fact, when shes sings "live" (Like this) and at shows its all backing track. The reason she uses so much vibrato in the song alone shows its being tuned to the correct pitch. Gaga, christina, britney, They all use this method of backing tracks.

Now... YOU ARE DISSMISSED SIR! :)

[ammarios]

@Ricsic6 I don't know who you've worked with, but in my experience in the business I have to say you are absolutely right. I realize that many choose not to believe you (I don't blame them, it must be heartbreaking when you idolize someone),but it is true; especially about the 'live' trick. I've explained this to people, but many have trouble comprehending the concept exactly (about how the singer actually does sing live, but a new PRE-recorded 'live' version is flooded, with an off mic...etc)..

[Ricsic6]

@ammarios Finnaly someone who understand how the music industry works!!

Its all for the show... how they can sell her. Beyonce is not a person to them, she is nothing more there a product with a great ass.

I wish people would grow up and stop falling for crap like this, as its aiding to the death of talented musicians.

[blow9honey]

ok yall really need to stop hatin b can sing her ass offf she is one of those rare perfmorers nowadays that can actually sing ok.... if ya need proof watch her sing halo at a hospital no mic no nothin just a guitar and her voice ok so she can sing and this is one of the best versions of at last other than miss etta james herself so stop hatin on B and go talk shit bout some other these other "singers" who cant sing for shit

[xxquiker]

@marcilynn37 STFU you dip shit...............Nasty ass cunt

[Zaxxon2008]

OTEP could do it better!

[Ricsic6]

Lets face it. SHE CAN'T SING! Its Auto tune and backing tracks. Shes just a piece of ass!! A Cash machine for a record company.

[xxquiker]

@Ricsic6 i swear if you said this in public and not behind a fucking computer, someone will put your little ass in check.i might just fucking spit at your fugly ass face.

[Ricsic6]

@xxquiker lol I do say this in public. Kids like you now days don't understand, that 99.9% of pop music now days is manufactured and it takes a studio full of people to make people like beyonce here sound the way she does. Go back to listening to your X factor crap...

[Melbosia]

Gay

[TheGylden]

terrible just fucking terrible. this is not music. it is boring shit.

[FuckingHel1ItsRayne]

Uh.... you do know this is mostly protools shit? o technically it's not all "live"...unless you mean live bullshit.

[EbbWeaver]

I think you all need to turn down the family channel music and look into some amazing artists. It's great when you have the whole package with looks and personality but that really isn't what real music is all about. Real music is about the escape from these over tedious things to enjoy poetry from inspirational perspectives. Which remains too be seen from if not all of the hiphop, pop universe today. The only real pop music I ever heard ended years ago with the breakup and death of the beetles.

[LiliumCruorem]

Wow... she sucks. I wish Alicia Keys would sing this song, she could rock it(Has she sang this?)

[vonte327]

lol she sounded so good and pure i love her vibrato

[Avalita07]

@vonte327 she sounded average & annoying

[vonte327]

@Avalita07 no the hell she dnt she sound good tht wat u call singing!!!!

[NickRusVoc]

i totally like it, but Christina's version is more powerful IMHO

[JustinLoveesIt]

you can see the plastic or whatever from her wig/weave when she frowns. Love her though.

[MrBeyonceFan]

@JustinLoveesIt Wow, How Lame.

[oOItalianBellaOo]

amazing

[okramsinger]

If she does not vibrato she goes out of tune. Annoying... but good.

[vonte327]

@okramsinger lol yes i noticed tht she used her vibrato alot for this performance!!!

[vonte327]

@okramsinger and why u say she will go out of tune without her vibrato she will forreal????lol

[69thstreetwildcats]

I love bey so much there is no doubt that she is the best ...she is just so damn talented and my idol...she can sing in the cold and still not miss a note...that is a sign of the greatest

[Avalita07]

@69thstreetwildcats sorry to break it to you but your precious Beyonce has no soul when she sings. she can not sing well

[babbygurldenisse]

She is AMAZING!!!her voice gives me goosebumps!!! I LOVE YOU BEYONCE !!!YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

[anusik3]

beautiful:)

[dymondusic]

This day was over to0 quick for me and I skipped out on work that day.

[utubenewbee]

i feel like every role beyonce does in movies it makes her more so the diana ross (dreamgirls) or the etta james ( cadillac records) of our generation honestly she could sing the phone book or i dare to compare her to billie hollidae of our generation seeing her as etta in the heroin scene reminded me of halle berry playing a addict in do the right thing so i could see her going on to portray anyone and nailing them exceptionally

[peter21d]

Amazing

[Landisha]

Amazing!!!!!!!! :) she is the BEST!

[MarinaKyriakous]

no one NO ONE has a voice like her

[dadreamzworld]

Wow amazing all I can do is shake my head!~ This girl is beyond amazing!~ This girl can sing and all the songs I've listened to that morning were flawless matters what people say she did wrong it was a totall 10 out of 10 STARS!!~ Love you Bey!!~

[isabelleavalos1]

wow she sounds even better live!!!!!!!!!

[27agg]

[ekiiim]

je l'aime de trop cette musique et en plus le film il est géniale ^^

[DanielleJordan]

Her falsetto is off the charts.

[JAIONTEE]

its called a head voice for women not falsetto, falsetto is a term used for men only

[MSdiva09]

she is amazing how did she do this good when she was sick wow! I LOVE you so much Beyonce.

[DelvinJordan15]

I love it when she growls..lol She's just amazing. Forget what the haters say!

[caribbeanlady6]

Beyonce rocks!!

[VenessaVB]

Love the deep tone to her voice

[VenessaVB]

[cater2u20033]

she is amazing how did she do this good when she was sick wow !!! i cnt wait im goin to her concert in 2 days

[divasilvestre]

Christina Aguielra is the best singing this song. Sorry Bey, but your version is a bad.

[Avalita07]

@divasilvestre I agree!!!!

[amurp07]

christina aguleria sings this way better was singing it longer than beyonce

[Avalita07]

@amurp07 SOOOOO TRUE Christina will knock Beyonce out the window!!

[joymalone2009]

Beyonce is the best at singing this song!

Well done beyonce !

[jlosearch]

yawn im sorry but cyndi laupers version is waaaaaaaaaaay better!!!! the mic is louder than the tv track too!!!! she is just nice to look at!

[fygery]

She's really singing this one. Howard Stern is wacked!

[untamedxxheart]

lmao did you guys watch her other video from put a ring on it ? she sucks

[DelvinJordan15]

BEYONCE IS AMAZING!

[alittlebitofperil]

Just a shame she didn't sing live at the oscars like Jackman did. That really showed her up! she's mor ethan capable to do it!

[jacksonDANCEmoves]

R U FREAKING OUT OF YOUR mind!! DID U SERIOUSLY JUST SAY hUGH jACKAMN SHOWED HER UP? PLEASE put DOWN the crack pipe

[alittlebitofperil]

LOL jackson - i'm not saying he's a better singer than beyonce (he's not). But i was disappointed that she didn't sing live at the oscars cos for me... it showed. She's the vocalist, not him... so why did she not do it live? I am a HUGE beyonce fan... hence i'm so disappointed!

[cushe83]

hes not even a singer hence the reason he didnt need a pre-recorded vocal track, she allways sings live jesus ease up, we know she can sing

[Rakim8]

That performance at the Oscars was live people think it was pre-recorded because she's that good. The intonation was off a tiny bit so if it was recorded that would have been fixed up and she was breathing heavily toward the end.

That's why she's not to be fucked with.

[kandjill]

YEAH RIGHT SHES D BEST

[Josyjohnson]

christinas version is better.

[jacksonDANCEmoves]

no it's not

Christina's is horrible! Way overdone

[DelvinJordan15]

No it's not. All those stupid notes she be holding sounds retarded.

[beyoncefan2382]

I'm not a fan of this song, but beyonce still rocked it! Etta needs to grow up.

[Aarikaisinlove]

Wooooooooooooooooooo!!! GO BEYONCE!!! She killed dis at the inauguration shoot i cry everytime i see that and this i love her outfit too!!! :)

[Mynef93baby]

she sounds so good, its almost like acapella her voice just sounds so clear =]] i love her <3

[Rakim8]

The mic is turned up too loud over the instrumentation.

[amaaani1]

yeah, big time!

[theRISAshow]

beyonce's like the kobe bryant of the musical entertainment word, never an off-day, and if so, she don't show up. true diva style, no doubt, she holdin' it down.

[cleenwenis09]

you are a dumb ass cunt.

you should be shot for what you are saying.

beyonce is working it up there and until you can outsell that fierce ass bitch in records and become more famous than her... than shut the fuck up.

your a cunt wipe.

[Srakurat]

I can't even express how much it was outstanding. Beyond perfect. Truly awesome. How can she sing so flawless?

[kennylondon123]

Beautiful bird,folk me she's like silk.Her voice gives me a hard on.

[theseanpaulfix]

wow she looks grat

[Lisey05]

Everyone has a different voice Beyonce sings it to her style just as Christina does when she sings this song no one is Etta James so comparing it to each other is useless their all great!!!!

[gretski94]

she should do more classic soul songs, she has easily a good enough voice for it,

i love her

[dwayne1421]

BEYONCE!!!!! GO GIRL!!!!! XD

[fartburpthenfartmore]

corny corny corny corny

[MrUnattainable]

definately agree with muzickritic4real, christina over sang it.. period

[myVIPspot]

Forget the singing I'm too busy looking at the outfit....

[muzickritic4real]

Christinas version WAS NOT BETTER. Christina tries to over sing the song. Etta James herself said that many people sung the song but BEY is impressive.

BEY NEVER CRACKED IN CONCERT, BUT CHRISTINA DID SEVERAL TIMES. Christine was hot sometime go, but you don't hear nothing about that has been. No young person paid this song any attention until BEY started singing it, which tells you how forgettable Christine's version was. Christine CAN SING, BUT she's NOT the better vocalist. Thruth hurts.

[aaliyonce]

I have to agree. I mean, I knew the song, I know a lot of songs that I'm not supposed to being 20, I knew the lyrics without really knowing it, but I started killing this song and a bunch of Etta's other material once Beyonce's version of "At Last" came out.

[shelbym6]

@muzickritic4real Your opinion says Christina Aguilera isn't the better vocalist compared to Beyonce. Other sources like the Rolling Stone magazines greatest singers of all time says she is.

[Dude0096]

@muzickritic4real ETTA DISSED BEYONCE FOR SINGING HER SONG AND PRAISED CHRISTINA.. GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!! AND BEYONCE HAS TO HAVE CRACKED BEFORE...EVERY SINGER HAS...SO MAYBE BEYONCE LIPSYNCS? AND CHRISTINA HAS CRACKED MAYBE 4 TIMES IN 11 YEARS...THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT HER VOICE ISNT BETTER THAN BEYONCES..CUZ IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!! AND ITS TRUTH NOT THRUTH.

[Avalita07]

@Dude0096 Beyonce can not sing REAL soul music. Her voice is average & empty. She tries so hard though but her vocals are too weak & annoying

[mttviper]

@muzickritic4real Or we could realize both just suck regardless and get on with life as these 2 will be faded out like every other pop genre noise maker. Truth hurts.

[AnonimuzZ]

Weird to see her perform this classic with a catwoman suit, lol! But it was great.

[K7J7P2]

Christina always cracks that's the truth

[Ashantihusban]

No She Do Not.. Not At All.. u Must Be TalkIng About A Diffrent Christina..

[CONNIEMANNI]

where her hips

[DelvinJordan15]

WOW! Beyonce was amazing. I absolutely love her.

[elusiveanth]

much better voice than fashion rocks but needs to work on her phrasing and control

[xjennix11]

god she was in fine voice that day lol :)

[MissVTime]

she is like a beautiful wild bird singing in newyork city, i come to adore this girl

[laylaboney]

SBM24 I love Christina, but you have lost your cotton pickin mind.....

[thebestofY0UTUBE]

She's simply the best.

[amwellons]

beautiful

[sexiraj]

lame crowd

[cutiekiska]

I know huh lol, except for the guy at the end, who kept yelling "another one, another one!!!!" lol

[senorcitizenssuck]

..she's an inspiation to all of us !!!

[MissVTime]

the "r" please,i almost agreed, lol

[StrawBerryMuffin24]

CHRISITNA AGUILERA VERSION IS WAY BETTER THEN HER VERSION!

beyonce sounds a hott ass mess on ths song!

[Rakim8]

Pst .... yea ok lol!

[koolmom46]

Beyonce is way better thats why xtina put out a greatest hits album because she has faded Duh!!

[07Ashley0707]

lol i forgot the kkkkkkkkkk this was so good nice improv. at the end

[07Ashley0707]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrBBBBBBBBBBBB­BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

[brooklie57]

nice

[7johndoe777]

beautifullll!

[one thing bout the xtina-thing (dont get me wrong, i like her too),

if you never knew the lyrics to this song, at least beyonce articulates well so you can get to know them. xtina dont]

[kennedy220]

yes we know xtina can sing..i'll admit that..but i hate her nasally voice

[kayleon1]

beyonce sing this song beautifully their is no one can sing it better the best god bless her

[FlitCooper]

Without grace, much steric

[ilhamoe]

Yes this is great!!! fuck xtina this is Beyonceee!!

[pikhienko]

Why even bring Christina in this? they are 2 different people. Though i do prefer X-tina's version so much razz!! But that's just my opinion

[scarednow]

OMG, I luv that falsetto run she did at the end

[scarednow]

This is an iconic song, she did an iconic job.

[delocollier]

all she do is scream

[RumKay90]

and all u do is BULLSHIT!

[K7J7P2]

She isn't screaming, that's just her vocal range, she can go high and loud and low and deep

[mamaks]

well hello...

beyonce is beyonce...

christina is christina...

both of them has their own differences when singing this song...

pls...ponder over it...

[planerex]

nice , but christina used to sing it better back in 2000

[therealestdude]

used to scream it better back in 2000

[sweettonio]

Thats why she is Beyonce and not Christina, she doesn't try to sing she just be her self.

[gius86teamosiempre]

beyonce come back home ;-)

christina is so much better!!!

[blairperkins1]

Im STEALING THAT MICROPHONE!!!

[UndefinedVoice]

I honestly didnt like it. I mean there was no passion.

[bahamahunk]

damn bee

[1ststudent]

Wodnerful, all can say

[moscadosback]

beautiful...

[lilsinger1234]

excited
