Beyoncé - All I Could Do Was Cry

[vickygoodwin100]

I love this movie and Columbus Short is TO CUTE but this song is awesome

[faithyrose]

I had a dream that this was happening to me. DAMN i need to stop listening to this song! ! !

[osfpatrick]

people who think they cant get their voice to sound as good as beyonce are people who give up. Just remember a professional was once a beginner. Theres a reason why she sings so well, practice, and not just alittle, i mean a lot. That is of course if you want to be beyonce good. Just saying the facts people :)

[mwashpor1013]

I wonder how beyonce's voice would be if she didn't have so much training. She can sing, but it doesn't sound natural. It sounds forced in a weird way. I sing so I listen differently.

[GabbyYouDidnt]

@mwashpor1013 you must not have seen her sing live, her notes come effortlessly. and when she DOES strain, it's normal for anyone to strain for those notes.

[mwashpor1013]

@GabbyYouDidnt I've seen her sing live plenty of times. I'm listening to her vibrato. It's forced.

[GabbyYouDidnt]

@mwashpor1013 vibrato doesn't come when you open your mouth, of course it's forced..?

[mwashpor1013]

@GabbyYouDidnt no its not. it comes with time and practice. you can't help it unless your making it a point to NOT have one. u obviously don't sing if you think a vibrato is forced.

[GabbyYouDidnt]

@mwashpor1013 well first of all you're the one that said her vibrato is forced, #contradiction?

and yes.. time and practice, beyonce has been in the music industry for over 15 years, say what you want, you cannot deny her talent, and once again to each their own. everyone has their own opinion, while you think mariah is better, i prefer beyonce.

[mwashpor1013]

@GabbyYouDidnt I prefer neither. I just said mariah is more talented than beyonce. You didn't understand what I said. Time and practice does not mean force. If you've been singing for x amount of years and correctly then a vibrato just comes out of nowhere from time and practice singing. not forcing. I'm not contradicting myself. I know what I'm talking about. You don't have to be in the industry. I train others and have been trained myself.

[GabbyYouDidnt]

@mwashpor1013 again i don't care if you train others if you sing or if you sound like a whale. and once again TO EACH THEIR OWN. in my opinion beyonce is more talented than mariah. point blank it's my opinion, you disagree so do other people but people also agree with me.

[mwashpor1013]

@GabbyYouDidnt and you don't strain your voice singing different notes. you strain when you're either singing loudly or too much. it's called using your diaphragm so it comes out through your stomach. If your pushing notes through your head that's incorrect.

[mwashpor1013]

@mwashpor1013 and if you don't know what I'm talking about when I say pushing through your head then you obviosly don't sing.

[GabbyYouDidnt]

@mwashpor1013 and quit with the "i sing" shit, you don't have to sing to know beyonce's one of the best voices of the generation.

[GabbyYouDidnt]

@mwashpor1013 don't even get me started with beyonce and notes cming from her stomach..if you have heard her live you know damn well her voice has power, grace, control and smoothness.

[mwashpor1013]

@GabbyYouDidnt If you don't know what I'm talking about when I say from the stomach then my point ends here. Its no use in trying to explain to someone who will never understand.

[GabbyYouDidnt]

@mwashpor1013 actually i do know what you're talking about when you say from the stomach otherwise i wouldn't have responded. you are so far up your own ass you won't listen to what anyone has to say about singing anyway. you are the one who will never understand.

[mwashpor1013]

@GabbyYouDidnt yeah i kind of got that you DIDN'T understand by your comment that was irrelevant to singing from the diaphragm. Last comment. I'm done. Like you said to each is own. I just wonder what her voice would be like if she just had raw talent not studio talent.

[GabbyYouDidnt]

@mwashpor1013 once again i repeat to each their own :) she has raw talent, you can't start off a voice that sounds like shit and get it to beyonce's standard, i'm terribly sorry if you feel that way. and studio talent my ASS, she sounds better live than she does in any studio recording.

[AddictMary]

That damn Rice!

[GetnTwistd]

all i wanna do is cry.............you can feel somebodys pain.

[martial9621]

Merci à toutes les personnes qui ont permis le chant aux noirs Americains

[abbott360]

terrible , studio can not make this lady sound good

[GabbyYouDidnt]

@abbott360 now you know damn well that is a lie. even simon cowell said she's the most talented star alive now.

[abbott360]

@GabbyYouDidnt Simon lmao

[GabbyYouDidnt]

@abbott360 he's not famous for no reason.

[mwashpor1013]

@GabbyYouDidnt beyonce isn't even touching mariah carey.

[GabbyYouDidnt]

@mwashpor1013 to each their own.

[mwashpor1013]

@mwashpor1013 u got that right. just saying mariah has more skill. her range is untouchable and her falsetto is unbelievable and she even inspires beyonce. in beyonce's words "mariah's voice sounds like it comes from God".

[GabbyYouDidnt]

@mwashpor1013 what do you expect beyonce to say? "my voice is much better i am a goddess" no..beyonce is one of the most humble singers alive lol..she won't admit how good she is

[kikiVisQUEEN]

@abbott360 bullshit idk whats wrong with you. maybe you jealous maybe you racist shoot IDK IDK YOU but i KNOW that YOU know she can sing. you mad about SOMETHING

[abbott360]

@kikiVisQUEEN just my opinion and if I don't like beyonce I am a RACIST or mad ? Maybe I just do not like her voice and when she sings live she sounds terrible....to me....peace

[HazelMonroe215]

Beyonce Killed It !!!! I Love Her<3

[66Purplicious]

i love this songgggggg!!!!!!!!

[WeirdsAGoodThing]

I absolutely respect Etta James (RIP) for her legacy, but Beyonce SANG this song.

[calibostunna22]

@WeirdsAGoodThing me too respect ms etta james

[nastykurtbadboy]

I didn't know who the late Etta James was until I watched the movie. Should we not appreciate Bey for that? We love Bey because she is the voice we love to hear and got hooked in THIS generation.

[ShaniAacselrad]

@nastykurtbadboy yo go girl ... im 100% with yo... :PP

[SaraAnne724]

I LOVE her voice on this song . !!!

[Mswizzle911]

without etta james! B wudnt b singing this

[MadBeats87]

BEYONCE AND ETTA JAMES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME CATERGORY OF SINGER! BOTH ARE / WERE SOULFUL ARTISTS THAT EACH HAD THERE OWN UNIQUE VOICE AND BEYONCE WILL NEVER SING BETTER THAN ETTA, JUST LIKE ETTA COULD NOT GO AND SING BEYONCES SONG. I LOVE THEM BOTH SO RIP ETTA...

[DancinqIntoLyfe]

beyonce sung this song

[zasuify]

@jredditt84 Oh please u know beyonce sang the HELL out of this song u just a hater

she knows Jay Z will rather go gay than go with Rihanna

ha haaaaaaaaaaa.... that's ur opinion no one else only the haterz will side with your lame opinion

[AnneAulisRobin]

I think this would have been a perfect song for Amy Winehouse.



[samir13j]

@AnneAulisRobin FUCK AMY WINEHOUSE

[lolaboox3]

@samir13j Why on Earth would you ever say that?

[MrJacktripper81]

My Condolence to the Etta James family, the Legend singing!! song great Blues song At Last!! I Love it!! I Love Beyonce's singing Etta James All I could Do Was Cry song!! Love it!!

[4ngel1415]

[Harmonica145]

[Chocomuneca19]

@Harmonica145 Beyonce. Thats her name. Dumbass. There is no "who".

[Harmonica145]

@Chocomuneca19 compare to Etta James she is nobody. Dumbass its you and yours illuminati fake "diva"

[Beyoncefan1000]

@Harmonica145 Her Name is beyonce!!! get it right or get gone ya dig!!!

[jcbear44]

Etta James you wiil be missed .

[PHADREUNNA]

not a big beyonce fan but she song it better then ms. james sorry

[optionout]

@PHADREUNNA -The truth.

[lilmisssunsett]

Rip miss etta james <3

[ENVIEDmami]

RIP Etta James

[lilgordito10]

I really like version, but since she was portraying someone as great of a singer, i think Beyonce should have done more character work. Since she was redoing Etta's songs, she should have done them almost exactly as Etta did them, and not completely added her own element to the songs as if she was just covering them for her sake. Idk if anyone else agrees, i just didnt want to bash beyonces version with saying that. Like if you agree....

[PuddinPOP1239]

@lilgordito10 Ask the directors. Plus no one wants to do the same thing a legend, or they will get critized even more

[BatDee]

@lilgordito10 Either way, she's not going to sound like Ms. James, and if she tried to sound like her she would have been picked apart and criticized even more than she already is...

[Beyoncefan1000]

@lilgordito10 ummm no!!! Beyonce did it the way she was suppose to do it which was staying true to the soulful gospel/blues sound this song and plus, she did an awesome job so get the hell out of here with that crap!

[jasjada1]

at furst i thot she waz gonna sing someone like yhu by adele wen she said I heard...O_o

thumbs up if this iz yur furst time listenting 2 tha song nd yhu thot adele stole beyonce's song >.<

[kaleidoglimpse]

@jasjada1 it's not beyonce's song, it's by etta james. adele always declares that she's a huge fan of etta (her main inspiration), for this reason adele's songs recall etta's ones! When I heard for the first time "Someone like you" and that "I heard" at the beginning, I thought: adele stole ETTA's song! :)

[missygirllikespain]

seriously etta killed this, but beyonce killed it with a diamond sword then mumified it and buried it in a spectacularly gold coffin.

[jredditt84]

@missygirllikespain

Etta sings this song and her voice was great, the difference is that B sings this song like a bitch really did steal her man! i mean like jayz is marrying rhianna and all she can do is CRY!

and thats the difference

[missygirllikespain]

@jredditt84 exactly :-)

[Beyoncefan1000]

@missygirllikespain lol that girl is one bona fide songtress!!!!

[HibBeyonceLove]

I LOVE THE RICE PART AT 1:48 LOL I LOV U BEY

[SarroAgy]

[HibBeyonceLove]

@SarroAgy lol xx

[SarroAgy]

[zoomzoom943]

I wish she would sing this type of music, it expresses her voice to a higher limit.

[jonasdl520]

B, marry me.

[TaShayla888]

[Ice99Tea]

[angel7748ift]

[slurpeelurpee]

[inchesa1]

etta james is legend but in my opinion version of beyonce is better....

[TheSuperonestore]

@inchesa1 you talking shit my man lol.

[inchesa1]

@TheSuperonestore oh shut up my man lol..

[aliana120]

@inchesa1 ikr

[inchesa1]

@aliana120 WHAT ???

[nippsandips]

How can you not recognize emotion in this song. The disapointment,pain, rejection, the loss of a dream and the distress of losing her love. I hear all of that in her voice. I respect your opinion just wanted to offer a different outlook is all.

[icecoldbruh]

Beyonce has no real soul..that is my only issue with her as a singer. She can definitely sing but she has no emotional range in terms of vocals. If you listen to Ella's original you get the feeling she LIVED the song (all of her songs actually).The closest she ever came to displaying real emotion was on Listen. This cover is acceptable though

[christal1280]

@icecoldbruh bweyonce does have soul etta will never be compared to but beyonce killed it POINT BLANK

[kent504]

she displayed emotion but didn't feel it.

[Zneah]

Etta James!

wow i love Beyonce

[fernandobrooksfield1]

Show show show...

Simplesmente show...

[Lightsout151]

two people can't cry. cause they have no feelings.

[VocalPowa]

Bey>Etta

[sumwun8]

bLACK IS BEAUTIFUL

[4EVERjADExoxo]

Sad song :(

[newyorkhottie1998]

she made me buy "Cadillac Records" on my phone, ipad, dvd

Itz so good!

[cwazylexi]

WOW i never heard Beyonce sing like that before!!

[loveyourwhiteshoes]

@cwazylexi me neither! even though I saw this movie before, I didn't know it was Beyonce, lol

[47HTH]

she's good ...but she's no Etta !......

[AJOHNSON5]

@47HTH U R RIGHT SHES BETTER OLD BITCH

[Kaiuchka]

@47HTH No shit Sherlock

[170flyguy]

she sanged the mess outta this song

[KominikeLakali]

I Love Her Version So Much. 

[lekacampbell]

@KominikeLakali Can anyone imagine a more perfect being than the lovely beyonce? I am having trouble finding my favourite cadillac track . they are so good>

[JayyeMusic]

if beyonce sang soul music i would absolutely be in tears she does it so well.

[SherriBerriAnnSalmom]

Good song :)

[Ovan61]

This genre is a perfect fit for Beyonce's voice.

[gilly5528]

@Ovan61 That's because she and many other's grew up singing in the church, where passion and singing go hand in hand. Beyonce does a great job but Jennifer Hudson, Jasmine Sullivan, even Fantasia could rip this type of music. Heck, I'm sure John Legend could do a pretty job of remixing this track. Unfortunately, soul music does sell the way it used to though.

[optionout]

@Ovan61 You sound like you know what you're talking about, cause I didnt even differentiate that in my mind until you said that , but--you're right!
