Beyonce's Baby Name Is Ivy Blue. Ivy= Illuminati's Very Youngest. Blue= Born Living Under Evil. The Baby Name Spelt Backwards Is (Eulb Yvi) = Latin for "Lucifer's Daughter
This was really bad, I love Beyonce but her bass player was really bad. Diana Ross made it so good because of the bass player and the loudness of the instrument. Beyonce sang it really well and everything was about the same as Diana Ross' version, but the bass was awful.
I guess its true, you can't please everyone. Im one of those old people that was there when D was at her most famous. I never heard anyone say she couldnt sing! Actually your the only one ive heard say that ever. but thats cool, i like people to have differing opinions about music and films. I don't really take to much notice of what people say one way or the other regarding music, im always looking at different music but i do trust my own judgement in this area. I remember when Minnie died, sad
An average voice trying to sing an ALL TIME CLASSIC by an ALL TIME SUPER STAR with an ALL TIME AWESOME VOICE. This chick seriously needs a fuckin reality check.... Just because most 11 to 14 year old girls think your great, don't make it so. Leave the classics alone, you aint got the chops for it, get your husband to write another stupid rappin GIRL POWER song for you and get him to mumble and babble incohearently in between your verses. This stuff is for SERIOUS singers with strong vocals
@boltonox Of course you have your opinion, but Beyonce's voice is much more powerful than Diana's ever was. Beyonce is a low mezzosoprano and Diana is (was) a limited soprano. Beyonce's technique is far more superior. From a technical point of view, she IS great, considering she can sing anything she wants without straining and can go from male low notes to soprano high notes without losing quality. Just because you don't like her songs, you don't have to diss her as a vocalist.
@96Mlm NO WAY anybody that knows about music thinks Beyonce has a better more powerful voice than Dianna Ross. Go check out DR singing this song LIVE 1981 concert. I didn't say the things about her voice because i don't like her. If she had a great voice i'd say so, even if i don't like her. I said it because she hasn't got a great voice, she has an average voice for a professional female singer with a limited range and power which even with today's technical advancements can still be noticed.
@boltonox Again, Beyonce is a low mezzo, which means that her voice will naturally be more powerful than the voice of a soprano (Diana). Sopranos are there to excel in the high notes, not to be vocal powerhouses. Maybe she does have a common TIMBRE, but she has mastered her voice completely, she can sing pretty much anything she wants without straining (and we're living times when people praise Aguilera, which doesn't have a technique at all and is ruining her naturally beautiful timbre.
@96Mlm Sorry im not trying to upset you, if your a fan of hers thats good, but ive seen her do quiet a few covers of well known material such as Tina Turners river deep mountain high and it was very bad. Totally wrong choice of song, her voice wasn't strong enough to cope with that song and she rearranged the song and still couldn't make it work. Low frequency or high frequency sound doesn't equate to power i.e volume. Actually high freq needs less than half the power of low freq to be heard
@boltonox Ok, but those people you mentioned outsing Diana anytime. Don't even compare them. Beyonce has 3.5 octaves of range. I do agree that those songs were a poor choice, but not because Beyonce lacks power, just because Beyonce is R&B and Tina Turner is not good material for her. I'm, not her fan, I just like some of her songs, and vocally she is very good, I can't deny that. And remember that this was a TRIBUTE to Diana and other artists, she's not trying to be be better than her.
@96Mlm Outsing? how do you outsing someone? Singing isnt a competative athletic event, its just singing. And Diana, Patty, Tina all qualify as GREAT singers in what they can do. Each has a unique style of their own, designed for a particular type of music. Not a comparable senario. Its lke asking which is better? the apple the orange or the banana? The apple is better at being an apple than the orange or the banana is, an visa versa. All three, are the best at what they do.
@boltonox By outsinging I meant for example if they were singing at the same time. Of course I am not always comparing them, but you were kinda asking for a comparision when you referred the other names. I do agree with your second sentence. I never said that Diana isn't great in her own way, just not vocally. And what I wanted when I first replied you was just to say that B. is very much capable of singing a Diana song, she has the chops. And this was a homage, she wasn't trying to be better.

@boltonox With her technique she could project over a piano without a microphone. And her voice is lower and fuller than Diana's, so it's more powerful. I didn't like her cover of "At Last" because Etta James is raw Soul and it's too much for Beyonce, but Diana Ross is perfectly viable for her. People aren't going to compare Diana to Patti Labelle because Patti has sung in a huge stadium without a mic, and Diana... Not. And that says a lot. Diana could NEVER. Diana's NOT a powerhouse vocalist.
@96Mlm well they are both rated in the top 10 black female vocalists of all time. Its not about comparing one singer against another or who has the more powerful voice or who has the higher/lower voice or range. Its about evaluating a singers true vocal talent levels. Its very subjective of coarse. What you may or may not like is not the same as what is or isnt considered a great voice.
@boltonox Well, again it's an opinion thing, but I believe she is in that list because of her charisma and the way she could communicate with the audience and maybe her soul, not her voice. Her voice was bland.
@96Mlm Really? How bizzar! As i said earlier, im not a fan of Diana, but i think her voice is incredible. I also think Amii Stewart, Precious Wilson, Dorothy Moore, Liz Mitchell, Minnie Riperton, Roberta Flack are all brilliant black female vocalists. I wish there were this many great black female soul and R&B singers around today! Where the HELL did they all go?
@boltonox LOL it's not bizarre! Most people at the time D. was famous thought of her as not very good vocally. Watch a video of her vocal range or some video that isn't meant for the fans and you'll see tons of people in the comments saying her voice was nothing special and etc. It's just that lots of people today think she was lovely because most of the current vocalists are crap. I LOVE Minnie Riperton. She was something! But unfortunately she died at 31. She's close to being my favourite.
@boltonox And I do agree about B. being a shrewd operator and a little bit cocky, I hated what she did to the girls in Destiny's Child, but that's another story, we're talking about the voice.
@boltonox Moreover, she completely controls her voice, meaning that if she performs badly it's going to be because of excessive runs etc., not because her voice giving up (like Christina Aguilera sometimes). I had never came across someone thinking of Diana as a vocal goddess like you until now. In my opinion, vocal prowess is not the reason people love Diana. Watch a video of Beyonce's vocal range and see how she maintains quality from the male low notes to the very high notes.
@96Mlm Actually im not a fan of Dianna Ross at all. Ive never even owned any of her music. Im just a bass playing musician, but i can tell the difference between a good voice and a great voice 100% of the time. Dianna Ross's voice is legendary for a reason along with Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Etta James, Tina Turner, Roberta Flack, Pattie Labelle etc. Plenty of people are crazy about all of these women's voices and im sure there are websites discussing who is better but they're all GREAT.
@boltonox Funny that you say "NO WAY anybody that knows about music thinks Beyonce has a better more powerful voice than Dianna Ross". It was exactly after I started knowing about music and vocal technique that I started praising Beyonce vocally, before that I thought of her as some bimbo. She may not have a very good tone naturally, but she works wonderfully with what she has, as opposed to some other singers who have very good voices but terrible technique, which doesn't allow them shine.
@96Mlm I NEVER thought she was a bimbo, i think she and her father are very shrewd operators. I find her annoyingly full of herself with SELF titles like Queen Bee, and Albums called "I AM" etc etc. She a "good" professional commercial vocal talent, not GREAT but good. Her voice is quiet limited in power, tone, character, and range for a professional singer. Its not a voice anyone over 16 years old will rave about now or 20 years from now. Her very good looks are a different matter
Talk about missing the whole point of the song...and that is the line "I'M coming OUT" Why do the song and not sing that line? I do like Beyonce but I think her talent is no so much in singing but in production, wild flights of creativity. I think she's more like the Prince of her generation.
I have to honestly say I have not ever been wow'd by Ms. B. However, I have never heard anyone beside's the uncomparable Diana Ross do this song, half as well as Beyonce. My Hat off to her AWESOME!!!
The thing about it is that Diana Ross is not a great singer. No shade but she wasn't the strongest voice in the supremes. The most pretty and moat marketable. Mrs. Ross is a legend no doubt but bey is as well. I love beys ability to tackle any song she very well pleases. And why do it exactly like the original. And if she did ppl would complain she did it the same. She did an excellent job.
BOOOO. This is a free country and I'm telling you Beyonce is lame. Any attempt to message me, will be ignored. That's what this forum is for. Her biggest hit isn't worth Diana Ross' last song.
@utterbullspit Beyonce LOOOOVES her some VIBRATO. Vibrato here, some Vibrato there, put some vibrato in here, and a bit more vibrato there, and lets not forget to put some vibrato at the beginning and a double portion right at the end... Oh fuck it! let just put vibrato EVERY WHERE!! it makes the kids think im a good singer alright! WAIT! Queen Bee is having a major genius moment AGAIN!.... lets make a song.... NO! a whole album called Beyonce sings VIBRATO and tracks 1-20 called VIBRATO 1-20!
@PrinceOfPassion Its also an OLD vocal technique taught to vocalists to disquise a voice thats prone to flattening out on longer or more strenuous (usally higher) notes.
@boltonox I don't know where u learned vocal technique but if ur voice is prone to going flat then vibrato is the last thing any vocal coach would tell u attempt. I flat and off key vocal run is worse than a flat straight note. So that old technique u thinking of might need some clarification. Oh and u know that nobody thought Diana could sing let's be real...
@Born2WorshipU Your talking about TRUE VIBRATO, im talking about her vibrato Yodeling technique. Nobody thought Diana Ross could sing? Oh RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! Thats why she sold 100's of millions of records over 30-40 years..... because she CAN'T SING a NOTE! Oh and that must also be why she's listed in the top 10 black female singers of ALL TIME...because she CAN"T SING AT ALL! The list of people who would be stupid enough to say D.R CAN'T sing, is VERY SHORT and very young.
@boltonox well I've been singing for a while and I don't know where u learned the term true vibrato at but please elaborate, last I checked there was only one. Hmmm….and any vocal coach would tell Beyonce hase perfect pitch and vocal control. If u like a voice that doesn't have the capacity to pull off the vibrato she uses i.e. Diana Ross that's fine but don't diss Bey as a vocalist and I literally laughed so hard when u said Diana had a stronger voice than Bey u musically inclined
@Born2WorshipU True vibrato i.e proper vibrato as appossed to her stylised pop vibrato yodel. I didn't question her pitch or control. My mother was a trained British Opera singer from 18 and then later taught vocal and pianno and i was a rock muso. I think YOU need to have a look at Diana's YT video of "Im comming out, then tell me she has a weak voice. A Slky soft voice, yes, but that isnt the same as a weak voice. As i said, im not a fan of either woman, but i know which has the better voice.
@boltonox That doesn't make sense. It's easier to go flat when using vibrato than when not. Do you understand what vibrato is? It's the vibration in the voice. Anyone who is considered a true singer has vibrato.
@PrinceOf she employe's a deliberate yodely vibrato'esque technique because her voice isn't particularly powerful and would flatten off, if she did'nt. She's a good POp music singer, not a great Blues or Rock or Soul singer. Have a look/listen to these 2 women "Precious wilson" singing "Eruption one way ticket" and "Eruption I can't stand the rain" And Ami Stewart singing "Light my fire" live, while dancing! or Knock on Wood, live. These girls have AWESOME voices! Bye
@boltonox I don't understand what this "yodely" technique is you're talking about. Either a person has a smooth, even vibrato or the person doesn't. Beyonce has a natural vibrato while singing. It's not a technique she's employing. AGAIN, if singers didn't have a vibrato, there would be nothing to separate us from people talking and holding out long tones. Everything else you said is SUBJECTIVE.
@boltonox I think i know what u are ref to. Its the sound equiptment she uses. She has the range, powerfull tone, and melody to sing these songs but to maintain this while giving a full show that we love her for requires the notes to be echoed. Which means she hits them and they are then echoed/carried a beat. She puts forth the vocal talent 1st then there is a little help so she can dance and not sound short of breath while holding a note.
@MrCDM9 Thats echo re-verb your talking about, and yeah lots of people use it to perform live. The thing im talking about is more to do with vocal control techniques used to hide a vocal weaknesses. She's got a good voice, but its not a GREAT voice is all im saying.
@boltonox I take it u don't like vibrato, that's fine but y r u watching a Beyonce video trying to diss when u know as well I do that Diana Ross could NEVER stand on a stage and out sing Bey and what list of top 10 Black female vocalist is Diana in…I'll wait….u need to stop reaching and go look up a video of Diana's barely there vocals! thin ass voice….
@Born2WorshipUYou have the internet, look it up, its THERE in black and white! Its obvious that your just a mad young Beonce fan that gets the shits anytime a negative comparison of Beyonce's singing is mentioned. Ive met PLENTY of people that have been "singing for a while"...SO WHAT, it doesn't mean "YOU" can sing. If you think Diana Ross CAN'T sing as YOU state, then i think that says ALL ANYBODY needs to know about YOUR singing prowess and musical knowledge. Your just a one-eyed Beyonce fan.
@boltonox I've been looking and I have yet to see her name on any of those list! I mean I've seen it only absolutely hence y u couldn't provide me a link! Yea just like that training ur mother received doesn't mean she can sing but I'm over this conversation because for u to actually think Diana Ross had strong/awesome vocals does it soft if the same as weak if there is no power to project but goodnight
@boltonox oh I may be be a Beyonce fan but I also recognize other vocalist and I know who she is better than vocally and who she isn't but she are one of those old people who thinks that talent stop developing after their generation and that anybody i the industry first had to have more talent nonetheless bye!
@Born2WorshipU Yes but as a fan, its difficult to be OBJECTIVE. I am not a fan of EITHER women. I don't care what GENERATION a singer comes from. If i think they're GREAT i would happily say so. Old people say there was more GREAT singers before, because its true. It has nothing to do with bagging "your GENERATION. Its about record labels today,refusing REAL talent, unless they look HOT&marketable. None of the 10 all time best black female singers would get a record deal today using this logic.
@Born2WorshipU P.S im looking for that website now, ill send you the link. Diana came in at 10th out of the 10 singers which i thought was pretty right. but there would have been at least another 25 singers that i can name that would have been a toss up, and probably a lot more that i don't know of.

I stan HARD for Beyoncé, but this song really doesn't fit her voice. At Last and other covers were perfect though. Beyoncé is the best singer of our generation after all.
WHAT THE FUCK WITH AL THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON EVERY BEYONCÉ VIDEO ?? Why is i that when someone is doing something good everybody is hating and when someone like Britney who acts like a crack*** and cant sing is on everybody points out the good things wtf
This is very good. Beyonce is certainly one of the best singers of today. But compared to Ross, Beyonce doesn't run with the melody; she sort of fights it. Her singing tends to be trilled to the point of sounding choppy. Ross is smoother. And how many times does Beyonce say "y'all" here? Diana's stage banter is a lot more sophisticated as well. But I am glad Beyonce has taken so much inspiration from Ross. She's a great role model.
@hellozio So, when did Aretha Franklin became a singer of OUR time?? I'm 25! I'm not aware of how old you are, but I never recalled seeing Aretha Franklin when I grew up in the 90's. Sure, Aretha Franklin is a LEGEND and a brilliant singer. I just think that Beyonce is the best singer of RECENT times. It's Beyonce, J-Hud (maybe), Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston. Aretha will be 69 years old this month!!!!! I didn't say Beyonce's the best singer of ALL time!
@Kn0ck0uTk3n i clicked on the video to see what her version was like. i didnt like it so i commented and clicked off. she might look goood on stage but i dont like her voice. is that alright? are there any singers you dont like???
@qjones wtf ashanti die!she cant top beyonce by a mile and of course not but i bet if diana tried to copy how beyonce song it she couldnt hit the notes!!HATER
@tayydizzelfun I'm not a hater and alI I did was voice my opinion so you need to calm yaself down. I wasn't talking about Diana copying Beyonce b/c its Diana's song.
@kiwimcclam Lmfao, there's a difference between not liking her version and posting a lie. There's NOTHING wrong with her rhythm. There's no need to be such a hater.
she did beyonce and I love for it....I did not like beyonce back in the day but she is turning into a true artist. She sings this song the way beyonce sings it...still with a flair of ms. ross and there is nothing wrong with it go girl with your bad self
When Beyonce was in STL during her concert at the end of the show the special effects backfired and several people were burned and rushed to the ER. Without any press or PR person Beyonce went to the ER and apoligized to each and every person that got burned. The lucky one's who got slightly burned leaked it to the press. She is really a special & talented young Lady!
@Robbeeh I agree any star in that situation SHOULD go but trust me very few would be bothered. She also brought gifts tee-shirts and autographed cds. These people were in the front row so Beyonce knew they really loved her they paid the most to see her. And she did not disapoint. What a sweetheart and classy young Lady she is! Love you Beyonce!
Orlando is no longer where Kenny will find his moment of truth- I will drive to California after probation- throw my clothes in a car and head straight for Meesh- then if she allows me to stay at her pad- I will date Krystle if this is for real- in that order- If that plan fails, my car turns to Alabama and never looks back
diana did it best becuz she did it first. noone can TOUCH it , but i will say if anyone comes anywhere near CLOSE its beyonce . and beyonce has a powerful voice , diana ross has a flawless tone. if they ever somehow fucked and had a baby , oh gawd. that child wud have the voice of god himself :PP
I have to defend Ms.Ross. Not that she needs defending. ;) NO ONE CAN TOUCH THIS.
I love Beyonce like everyone else, but without Ms.Ross, there would be NO BEYONCE or Amerie,Rhinna, or other young Female perforner without MsRoss paving the way.
diana ross version is better, the original is better. yet this is a really good attempt.

Her voice is quiet limited in power, tone, character, and range for a professional singer. Its not a voice anyone over 16 years old will rave about now or 20 years from now. Her very good looks are a different matter

Talk about missing the whole point of the song...and that is the line "I'M coming OUT" Why do the song and not sing that line? I do like Beyonce but I think her talent is no so much in singing but in production, wild flights of creativity. I think she's more like the Prince of her generation.

The thing about it is that Diana Ross is not a great singer. No shade but she wasn't the strongest voice in the supremes. The most pretty and moat marketable. Mrs. Ross is a legend no doubt but bey is as well. I love beys ability to tackle any song she very well pleases. And why do it exactly like the original. And if she did ppl would complain she did it the same. She did an excellent job.

Oh fuck it! let just put vibrato EVERY WHERE!! it makes the kids think im a good singer alright! WAIT! Queen Bee is having a major genius moment AGAIN!.... lets make a song....

@PrinceOfPassion Its also an OLD vocal technique taught to vocalists to disquise a voice thats prone to flattening out on longer or more strenuous (usally higher) notes.
boltonox 5 months ago
@boltonox I don't know where u learned vocal technique but if ur voice is prone to going flat then vibrato is the last thing any vocal coach would tell u attempt. I flat and off key vocal run is worse than a flat straight note. So that old technique u thinking of might need some clarification. Oh and u know that nobody thought Diana could sing let's be real...
Born2WorshipU 5 months ago
@Born2WorshipU Your talking about TRUE VIBRATO, im talking about her vibrato Yodeling technique. Nobody thought Diana Ross could sing? Oh RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! Thats why she sold 100's of millions of records over 30-40 years..... because she CAN'T SING a NOTE! Oh and that must also be why she's listed in the top 10 black female singers of ALL TIME...because she CAN"T SING AT ALL! The list of people who would be stupid enough to say D.R CAN'T sing, is VERY SHORT and very young.
boltonox 5 months ago
@boltonox well I've been singing for a while and I don't know where u learned the term true vibrato at but please elaborate, last I checked there was only one. Hmmm….and any vocal coach would tell Beyonce hase perfect pitch and vocal control. If u like a voice that doesn't have the capacity to pull off the vibrato she uses i.e. Diana Ross that's fine but don't diss Bey as a vocalist and I literally laughed so hard when u said Diana had a stronger voice than Bey u musically inclined
Born2WorshipU 5 months ago
@Born2WorshipU True vibrato i.e proper vibrato as appossed to her stylised pop vibrato yodel. I didn't question her pitch or control. My mother was a trained British Opera singer from 18 and then later taught vocal and pianno and i was a rock muso. I think YOU need to have a look at Diana's YT video of "Im comming out, then tell me she has a weak voice. A Slky soft voice, yes, but that isnt the same as a weak voice. As i said, im not a fan of either woman, but i know which has the better voice.
boltonox 5 months ago
@boltonox That doesn't make sense. It's easier to go flat when using vibrato than when not. Do you understand what vibrato is? It's the vibration in the voice. Anyone who is considered a true singer has vibrato.
PrinceOfPassion 4 months ago
@PrinceOf she employe's a deliberate yodely vibrato'esque technique because her voice isn't particularly powerful and would flatten off, if she did'nt. She's a good POp music singer, not a great Blues or Rock or Soul singer. Have a look/listen to these 2 women "Precious wilson" singing "Eruption one way ticket" and "Eruption I can't stand the rain" And Ami Stewart singing "Light my fire" live, while dancing! or Knock on Wood, live. These girls have AWESOME voices! Bye
boltonox 4 months ago
@boltonox I don't understand what this "yodely" technique is you're talking about. Either a person has a smooth, even vibrato or the person doesn't. Beyonce has a natural vibrato while singing. It's not a technique she's employing. AGAIN, if singers didn't have a vibrato, there would be nothing to separate us from people talking and holding out long tones. Everything else you said is SUBJECTIVE.
PrinceOfPassion 4 months ago
@boltonox I think i know what u are ref to. Its the sound equiptment she uses. She has the range, powerfull tone, and melody to sing these songs but to maintain this while giving a full show that we love her for requires the notes to be echoed. Which means she hits them and they are then echoed/carried a beat. She puts forth the vocal talent 1st then there is a little help so she can dance and not sound short of breath while holding a note.
MrCDM9 2 months ago
@MrCDM9 Thats echo re-verb your talking about, and yeah lots of people use it to perform live. The thing im talking about is more to do with vocal control techniques used to hide a vocal weaknesses. She's got a good voice, but its not a GREAT voice is all im saying.

@Born2WorshipUYou have the internet, look it up, its THERE in black and white!

Ive met PLENTY of people that have been "singing for a while"...SO WHAT, it doesn't mean "YOU" can sing. If you think Diana Ross CAN'T sing as YOU state, then i think that says ALL ANYBODY needs to know about YOUR singing prowess and musical knowledge. Your just a one-eyed Beyonce fan.

@boltonox I've been looking and I have yet to see her name on any of those list! I mean I've seen it only absolutely hence y u couldn't provide me a link! Yea just like that training ur mother received doesn't mean she can sing but I'm over this conversation because for u to actually think Diana Ross had strong/awesome vocals does it soft if the same as weak if there is no power to project but goodnight
Born2WorshipU 5 months ago
@boltonox oh I may be be a Beyonce fan but I also recognize other vocalist and I know who she is better than vocally and who she isn't but she are one of those old people who thinks that talent stop developing after their generation and that anybody i the industry first had to have more talent nonetheless bye!
Born2WorshipU 5 months ago
@Born2WorshipU Yes but as a fan, its difficult to be OBJECTIVE. I am not a fan of EITHER women. I don't care what GENERATION a singer comes from. If i think they're GREAT i would happily say so. Old people say there was more GREAT singers before, because its true. It has nothing to do with bagging "your GENERATION. Its about record labels today,refusing REAL talent, unless they look HOT&marketable. None of the 10 all time best black female singers would get a record deal today using this logic.

This is very good. Beyonce is certainly one of the best singers of today. But compared to Ross, Beyonce doesn't run with the melody; she sort of fights it. Her singing tends to be trilled to the point of sounding choppy. Ross is smoother. And how many times does Beyonce say "y'all" here? Diana's stage banter is a lot more sophisticated as well. But I am glad Beyonce has taken so much inspiration from Ross. She's a great role model.

When Beyonce was in STL during her concert at the end of the show the special effects backfired and several people were burned and rushed to the ER. Without any press or PR person Beyonce went to the ER and apoligized to each and every person that got burned. The lucky one's who got slightly burned leaked it to the press.
