I PREFER BEYONCE'S VERSION BY FAAAAAAR! JAZMINE'S VERSION IS VERY VERY BORING AND MONOTONE IN MY OPINION. BEY'S VERSION HAS MORE COLOR, RANGE, POWER, DYNAMICS, EMOTION, AND HAS MORE OF A PLEASANT RICHER TONE!! AND BEY'S HARMONIES WERE IN TUNE AND MADE IT SOUNDED MORE LIKE A CLASSIC SONG!
Further more Beyonce has not lived an artists life, she is a superstar and has not experiences to draw from, her singing is totally technical. Jazmine on the other hand is an artist, with a roller-coaster testimony that comes out in her vocals and delivery. Like I said before you can't give what you haven't lived!
Why are we comparing these two artist. One is a total purest vocalist and the other is a badd azz stage performer. why, why, why. Apple and an Orange No comparison.
Like really everybody why would anyone judge these 2 powerful and wonderful singers. they have differnt ways of singing so no one should judge them. I love both there versions.
Dammit, y can't we just say both heifers can sang! I love Bey bcuz we've known her for so long and she is extraordinarily talented not just vocally, but she is a straight ARTIST&ENTERTAINER; and I love JAz because her voice is AMAZING, I can't wait to watch her grow from being in the industry, but PLEASE don't compare the two. It's like comparing peanut butter and jelly lmao
@librarian5602 lol, why thank you. The thing about today's musicians is that they have begun standardizing bad singing techniques. In small doses, or for particular singers, it is fine. But when you are not trained, (American Idol comes to mind) people who have a voice but no training begin thinking that belting it out is all you need. Beyonce has a unique voice, and I do not believe it is always appropriate for singers to imitate her style.
I have both versions and i like both artist...But i prefer Beyonce's because of the emotion, you get from her voice. Idk abouy anybody else but i know when im going through and i hear Beyonce's version i can hella relate....Jazmine's is more relaxed to me for when your winding down after a long day at work or something..i like both artist but i think Bey delivered a little more raw emotion to the song
They are two of my 5 favorite singers in the industry. Admittedly Jazmines voice is more suited to this kind of song, I would not count Beyonce down for the count. If Jazmine tried to cover a song like "Crazy in Love" or "Get me bodied" or another upbeat song that Beyonce has covered, I think Beyonce would come out on top. Two amazing voices suited to different styles.
jazmines version is a bore....i need to hear dynamics...jazmines voice is too heavy and lacks emtion its like she is draggin the song out...and beyonce is wowing me with her assorted baqckround styles and harmony...her belt and chopps set this songon a higher standard...i felt the emotion with B...jazz just sounds like she was singing
Hate how people just side with who they like. Look at sales figures and charts and you will see who is better. Beyonce sells more cause she works hard its not just about the voice she puts alot of work and time to give the fans what they want reason why her fans will buy all her stuff.
I bet half of you beyonce haters listen to Jazmine on youtube and download her music. If your a fan of something go and support them stop wasting time hating on the more successful competition!!!!
@foreverlove006 You will learn one day that Beyonce has paid a higher price then just working hard. Jazmine doesn't have to sell her soul to the devil for her voice to sell. It's Jazmine's song and she got no help from the devil. She's all natural. Beyonce is not. I used to think that Beyonce's Riffs were the best that I had heard until I listened to Jazmine. Jazmine's Riffs are killer and her vs. Beyonce is not fair to Beyonce at all.sorry. Do your research!!
look your born with a talent like that either you HAVE it or you DONT and beyonce pushes and try's too hard but jazzy's soul is made for that she can do it. jazzy has intrest in the song and she has a voice thaat is made for this.! TEAM JAZMINE
they could of edit it better. but jaz has more soul and B has more emotion with the song i like them both just lovely. if i wanted to thug it and tell someone how i felt i would go with jazmine song of course
Now this is not to diss Jazmine, but I don't hear her tone being THAT unique. She sounds similar to Lauryn Hill, tonally. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not like she has tone that has never been heard before. Chrisette's tone is unique. For example. And as much I am not a fan of it, Macy Gray's timbre is unique. You know it when you hear it. Same as Sade. Jaz has a great voice, but unique, as if no one sounds similar to her? No.
i feel as though Jasmine's is nice but Beyonce's is beeter. I feel this wayh because when i heard her sing it live in Wembly, i couldnt get it together. Honestly there is no comparison because of the diffrentiation in the voices, but then angain...there is no competition!
I think the song fits Jazmine's voice better. Beyonce's voice lacks soul, which is why she does that growling thing and throws in the extra stuff. It's like if you compare Christina A.'s version of "AT Last" to B's, Christina's sounds better to me because she has more soul. Beyonce's voice is more "poppy."
@dingdogglewoo You are entitled to your opinion. Although Beyonce has even said her voice is "poppy" when comparing her voice to that of Kelly Rowland. She said that Kelly's voice is more R&B whereas Michelle's voice was more gospel. You sound all hostile like I am insulting her or something. I was just staying a fact. People have different tones to their voices. It's not a good or bad thing. It just is.
@blktrekie29 That is ridiculous, she was comparing herself to the other black women in their R&B group. They all have soul. Secondly, I can't believe you think Christina Aguilera has more soul than Beyonce. Christina is completely pop! That is her gnere! Beyonce's is R&B! You most likely made the mistake that many people make thinking that Beyonce's songs like Diva are what suit her. Beyonce is possibly the most incredible female vocalist in the world.
@dingdogglewoo When I use the word"soul," I am referring to a particular sound often associated with black people that often sing in the church. For example, Aretha and Fantasia and Jazmine S. have a certain "soulful quality" to their voices. Beyonce's voice doesn't sound like that. She has a distinct sound when she sings like in "Sweet Chariot" from the Fighting Temptations" movie. That's how you know it's her when she sings on the radio.
You are right TO A POINT. The thing about Bey is that she changes her tone and inflections depending on the song. She can thicker or lighter on any given song. I get your point though, Jaz's more Gospelesqe with her tone than Bey. But...I think C-Tina is not the example you should make. Bey is much more authentic with her tone and interpretation of that genre than C-Tina could ever be.
@jae10100 see i feel like jazmine is alot better that beyonce seiinq that her runs are sick and she is so younq think about when she qets beyonces aqe her voice is qunna be so powerful ! .
THIS IS HARD THEY ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SINGERS IN STYLE!!! IF I was looking for soul and lower vocal runs Jazzy has it but in pure vocal runs and strength B has it... I LOVE BOTH!!! THEY BOTH GAVE ME CHILLS!!!
THIS IS HARD THEY ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SINGERS IN STYLE!!! IF I was looking for soul and lower vocal runs Jazzy has it but i pure vocal runs and strength B has it... I LOVE BOTH!!! THEY BOTH GAVE ME CHILLS!!!
I love Jazmine's version better. Beyonce's voice has the power, but it lacks soul, so that's why she emphasizes the screaming--because it doesn't naturally evoke emotion. Jazzy's lower voice sounds more mournful, and can carry the regrets without the extra techniques that Beyonce implements, like "melisma." At the end of the day, it's about what you prefer--big voices or soulful voices.
@blktrekie29 Actually, if you realised I was replying to someone else's comment (here's a hint, it says "@persons name") and read that comment you would see that they asked the question: "it's about what you prefer--big voices or soulful voices." My answer to that makes complete sense.
i LOVE THEM BOTH!!! beyonce's is amazingls strong and thats what its about! BUT! i have to give HUGE props to jazmine to her take on this! its flawless!!! there both amazing!
the difference between the two is that beyonce sang it with a full band, jazmine did it with only the accompaniment of an acoustic guitar which is almost like acapella
@jae10100 Now I'm not a Beyonce' fan by any means but I will have to give her this song hands down!! Now as far as a better singer than Jazmine....UMMMM I don't think so not even in the same league Jazmine runs circles around Beyonce'...you have to go by raw uncut talent which Jazmine has and a trained voice which is Beyonce'...a soulful voice will always give you that extra UMPH that your yearning for...
BOTH NICE................HOWEVER BEYONCE'S VERSION IS BETTER,ITS FULL AND IS BETTER WITH HARMONIES AND THE FULL RANGE.......JASMINE MAKES IT NOT AS PERSONAL.....BEYONCE'S EMOTION BRINGS IT OUT
Jazmine Sullivan is better she didnt have to all the vocal acrobatics nor did she bring backup in until the mid point of the song...jaz is a singers, singer A class B is the best at what she does but she isn't Jazmine
In my opinion, Jazmine got this one. Her voice is so soul filled. dont get me wrong i like B's work but she lost this one. You dont always have to holla in a song to get your point across. Beyonce seems a little mad but if you listen to Jazmines version i can here the pain and the anger and she didn't scream at me. well anyway its my opinion and you know what people say about opinions......they are like ass holes, everyone has one, everyone thinks that everyone else's stink. P&B
Jazmine is growning the craft as Beyonces voice leaves and slowly turns into not a singer but a publicity hungry ex singer she used to run and used to sing no she just screams and whispers
These are no doubt two of the best vocalist out there.... B is ofter overlooked because people are always trying to knock her down, Jazmine, I love her too. No doubt my favorite two vocalist. I like B's music better when she was with Destiny's Child tho...lol
@atbarr1911 ....ummmm, did I read correctly? You said "B is often overlooked"??????????????????????? In what world.....lol.....Beyonce is probably one of THEE most recogized artists of today....while others with mammoth talent are often overlooked in favor of queen B...
FOR REAL I KNOW YA'LL LOVE BEY. BUT JAZZ REALLY DID THE DAMNTHING THERE IS WAY TO MUCH OF PPL GIVIN BEY. ALL THE SHOUTS FOR EVERY SONG SHE REMAKE HANDS DOWN THAT IS JAZZEZ RESENTMENT NUFF SAID
How could u DARE compare the two? The beginning starts slow PERIOD...even B starts off slow and mello like Jaz...yall didnt even hear Jaz kill the high part! Then listen to her freely vibe at the end...str8 killed it! I would like yall to all understand that Jaz aint tryin to b anybody but Jaz....juz like B can only b B...2 phenomenal black women...lets not try to break down our black artists...support them both...
Jazmine Sullivan 100%, Beyonce has a nice voice, but her voice is much too common. People like Jazmine Sullivan, Chrisette Michele, and India Ire are the ones with the true beautiful, old fashion, soulful voice.
@usherlover45 are u crazy beyonce does not have a common voice who do u no can sing like her tell me u cant compare a new singer new to the game to a icon thats benn in the game for more then 10 years people compare beyonce to everbody dame compare her someone of her time not new people dame
@kinganthoney You can feel however you want about Beyonce. Yes, she is good and has been around for awhile. With that said, just because she's more known certainly does not mean she's the best. Actually comparing a "new singer to the game to a icon" is something that can be done. As I said before Beyonce does have a voice, as a lot of people do, but there are just some people who can't touch others vocally. Unlike Jazmine Sullivan, Beyonce tends to have a hard time sounding as she does on her...
@usherlover45 u right talent is talent and beyonce does not have to dance she does it cause she loves it and why do people blame beyonce for everthing yall compare beyonce to ever singer that comes up yall blame her for everthing now i like jazz but need more contorl over her voice
@kinganthoney albums. Just because someone has been around longer does not mean that someone "new to the game" cannot be compared to them. Talent is talent, regardless of experience. Quite frankly, to my opinion, after watching some of Beyonce's performances as a teen and comparing them the Jazmine's... well there's just no comparison. Beyonce may be able to dance and physically entertain a crowd, but Jazmine doesn't have to do that. Neither does Jennifer H, Chrisette, etc. They're
@kinganthoney To be completely frank with you, I do not wish to continue this conversation with you. Earlier you mentioned "yo ass cant sing," you know absolutely nothing about me, I sing VERY well. Anyways, you are having a hard time using your words and the things you are saying just aren't making any sense at all. Believe what you must, as I will do the same. Good day
@usherlover45 yea and beyonce has a strong voice so why do yall compare beyonce to everthing what she do to yo ass cant sing so stop campering then you cant compare some one new to the game thats benn here for almost 20 years cpmapre jazz to someone new in the book cant no one sing like beyonce jazz need more contornl
I am a die hard Beyonce fan, but I have to give credit where it's due. Jazmine just has the raw talent that most would dream of and, not that it matters, but she could sing Beyonce under the table. Look at the vid of Jazmine singing "Home" at age 11....amazing...they both are.
Beyonce DESTROYS Jazmine.. sorry. Vocally Beyonce is 100 million times better than Jaz.. Jaz can sing, but next to Beyonce she is no different than B. Spears
VOCALLY, there is NO comparison, Jazmine got it all day.....she won this in the first 3 words...the tone in her voice is just God given! ...Beyonce brought her own "dramatic" kinda of vocal style, but it wasn't as much natural singing ability as Jazmine's was........ :-)
Okay this is hard. If were just talking vocals...it's a TIE! But as far as the whole package of emotion and pain, Beyonce hands frickin down. Can't tell you how many times I've cried from her version.
@mac48203 Woah don't be disrespectful. It's my opinion. You need to stop replying to everyone's comments and let it be, damn. Its never that serious. LOLOLOLOL
@layleboo ...what part of my response to you was disrespectful? ...it's the internet, and it's a discussion board, and I am DISCUSSING.....I wasn't disrespectful to anyone at all........and for the record, you don't know me so you don't know WHAT I "need" to be doing.... :-)
beyonce sang this song wayyyyy better..please people, no matter how much you say it jazmine will never be better than beyonce, she's soulful, stunning, amazing, all of the above but beyonce is on a whole other level than jazmine sullivan.
@krabhole ....and for that statement, I can tell that you are in love with Beyonce's "PERSONA"...because voice to voice, there is NOT one female out now that can hang with Jazmine.......VOCALLY! Which is what this is about...
Jazmine has a more soulful voice but this song doesn't cause for that. Beyonce has a more powerful voice for this song she causes you to stop and listen.
Bey vs. Jazzy is like Diana Ross versus the "Effie" of the Supremes. One has an airy pop sound while the other has soul. With a pop crossover, unfortunately soul is intimidating. I mean look at the 4 Seasons who ripped off a ton of their songs from black artists. It also doesn't hurt that Bey is 5 shades lighter and skinnier than Jazzy either. Record sales are driven by the money holders..members of suburbia. Jazzy is clearly the more vocally gifted singer...Bey's image is stronger though.
@jas4xj its good that someone sees that beyonce's image makes her "better"(not literally) than the rest not saying that Bey is not talented but itz her image that makes her stronger in every way imaginable
@jas4xj ...thank you for breaking it down for these people that are obsessed with Beyonce.....lol....I mean yes, Beyonce has mastered the stage, she knows how to "perform" but vocally, there are so many other females that would eat her up.....namely, Jazmine! :-)
I think Jazmine Sullivan not only sang this song better, but also out-sings Beyonce any day. Beyonce has skills that anyone can obtain with the right vocal coach: vibrato and range. She is overrated because she can dance and works her ass off. Jazmine Sullivan has raw talent. Hands down, Jazmine Sullivan has it.
@ladydredz92 jazmine sullivan to me is nothing new. she re-uses the same vocal acrobatic thingies over and over again, beyonce knows how to sing with variety. I respect ur opinion and i'm just sharing mine. btw beyonce is so not overrated.
@krabhole ...saying that Jazmine is nothing new would be like saying that Ella Fitzgerald was nothing new in her day! ....you couldn't be further from the truth......even if Jazmine left out all of the riffs and runs, she has a VERY special TONE to her voice....anybody with any real musical/vocal sense can hear that........ :-)
@mac48203 her voice doesnt blow me away or give me goosebumps...right now if i wanted 2hear soulful singing i wouldnt type her name in the search box....she just doesnt have it to me. Sorry : /
First of all, I love them both. Knew who she was before most of people did because she's from Philly and she was performing in all kinds of talent shows. I prefer Bey's version(the call & respond harmonies, which show what kind of ear Bey has, are ridiculous), but putting Jaz on the same level as Ella, not a good look. That went too far.
ohkayy so dis is my point; jazmine sullivan's version has a more soulful pain in it..&& beyonce's version has more anger in it. personally i lyk beyonce's version better but jazmine sullivan version is cool too.
Love both girls but Jazmine's version fit her better (probably because she wrote it) and Beyonce's is more pop/R&B, while Jazzy's is soul. Both sounded amazing just so different.
Beyonce said in a interview for dreamsgirls that the way she sing in the movie she will not do in her music! Wel im sorry but the cd from after the movie was all screaming and growling, and this song is the prove of it!! Yes B can sing but its pop not soulfull!! None of the Etta songs she covered was soulfull. You just dont hear it in the sons or her voice. Its time people reconize this. No hating..lol
no comparison. whatsoever. beyonce!

I love Jazmine's version better. Beyonce's voice has the power, but it lacks soul, so that's why she emphasizes the screaming--because it doesn't naturally evoke emotion. Jazzy's lower voice sounds more mournful, and can carry the regrets without the extra techniques that Beyonce implements, like "melisma." At the end of the day, it's about what you prefer--big voices or soulful voices.

In my opinion, Jazmine got this one. Her voice is so soul filled. dont get me wrong i like B's work but she lost this one. You dont always have to holla in a song to get your point across. Beyonce seems a little mad but if you listen to Jazmines version i can here the pain and the anger and she didn't scream at me. well anyway its my opinion and you know what people say about opinions......they are like ass holes, everyone has one, everyone thinks that everyone else's stink.

Jazmine Sullivan 100%, Beyonce has a nice voice, but her voice is much too common. People like Jazmine Sullivan, Chrisette Michele, and India Ire are the ones with the true beautiful, old fashion, soulful voice.

@usherlover45 are u crazy beyonce does not have a common voice who do u no can sing like her tell me u cant compare a new singer new to the game to a icon thats benn in the game for more then 10 years people compare beyonce to everbody dame compare her someone of her time not new people dame
kinganthoney 1 year ago
@kinganthoney You can feel however you want about Beyonce. Yes, she is good and has been around for awhile. With that said, just because she's more known certainly does not mean she's the best. Actually comparing a "new singer to the game to a icon" is something that can be done. As I said before Beyonce does have a voice, as a lot of people do, but there are just some people who can't touch others vocally. Unlike Jazmine Sullivan, Beyonce tends to have a hard time sounding as she does on her...

@kinganthoney albums. Just because someone has been around longer does not mean that someone "new to the game" cannot be compared to them. Talent is talent, regardless of experience. Quite frankly, to my opinion, after watching some of Beyonce's performances as a teen and comparing them the Jazmine's... well there's just no comparison. Beyonce may be able to dance and physically entertain a crowd, but Jazmine doesn't have to do that. Neither does Jennifer H, Chrisette, etc. They're

Bey vs. Jazzy is like Diana Ross versus the "Effie" of the Supremes. One has an airy pop sound while the other has soul. With a pop crossover, unfortunately soul is intimidating. I mean look at the 4 Seasons who ripped off a ton of their songs from black artists. It also doesn't hurt that Bey is 5 shades lighter and skinnier than Jazzy either. Record sales are driven by the money holders..members of suburbia. Jazzy is clearly the more vocally gifted singer...Bey's image is stronger though.

I think Jazmine Sullivan not only sang this song better, but also out-sings Beyonce any day. Beyonce has skills that anyone can obtain with the right vocal coach: vibrato and range. She is overrated because she can dance and works her ass off. Jazmine Sullivan has raw talent. Hands down, Jazmine Sullivan has it.

First of all, I love them both. Knew who she was before most of people did because she's from Philly and she was performing in all kinds of talent shows. I prefer Bey's version(the call & respond harmonies, which show what kind of ear Bey has, are ridiculous), but putting Jaz on the same level as Ella, not a good look. That went too far.
