  • sorry B but you do not have Gwen's voice

  • i like the song but the video doesnt go with it

  • ficou legal....

    

  • coooooooooooooooooooool

  • For once in her life Beyoncé is second (after the Cover Girls).

  • this shit is good

  • Warbling mtha fka

    

  • Fkin rubbish, cant stand her and her jayzee and her fat ass

  • @flanj1 lol

  • bitch fucked up a great royce classic!

  • Stop hating this version is sexy!!! dont like it then click the fuck off!!

  • utter rubbish please delete this version no voice just echo and studio noise big thumbs down ..time to retire and give us all a break

  • Let's see

    AT Last - Etta James - 100% - beyonce - 0%

    Wishing on a Star - Rose Royce 100% - beyonce - 0%

  • Not a scratch on the original!!! u cant improve on the Rose Royce original of 1978

  • ok i luv me sum beyonce but that was oldie jam that couldve been left alone..latin freestyle needs no make overs..orale la raza

  • beyonce's version's the best

  • diese kleid geht gar nciht

  • I just listened to Ivory Queen Teena Marie. This Beyonce version of is NOT what Rolls Royce intended.

  • a lot of people here seem to dislike this version, i like rose royce's version too, but i personally like this one better. thumbs up if anyone actually likes this version better too.

  • sorry looks dont do it alone , rose royce is still no1.

  • wow....this is pretty bad. way to butcher a classic.

  • Rubbish, really without the 'studio' dubbed vocals this would truly expose how limited her vocals are

  • @lujas10 couldnt have said it better. Dont know why people think she's such a great singer!

  • nope!

  • beyonce is a great singer, but not singing Rose Royce songs...what is up with all the extra lyrics? and the video was, well,.......

  • @alwyztryin since when is bonce a great singer are you tone deaf? all she is is great tits and a body gives a break

  • I so agree with Sexydivaboss and brightlights456. Rolls Royce did it so much better!

  • I so agree with Sexydivaboss. Rolls Royce did it so much better!

  • @waitg4jstice i agree. this song was an easy listening, love hit. too much heavy bass ruined it.. it's hard to top the original.

  • yes i just checked the cover girls went to #9 on the charts with this the hightest on chart for any version of this song or orignal

  • even the cover girls did a better job. i feel like running head frist into a wall .this is why todays music suck's

  • Nice try Beyonce, but Teena Marie, made this song a hit, and sang it the best!!! But you did a good job!!!

  • @debiliff1 no rose royce had a hit with this i belive the cover had top 20 or top10 hit with this . billboard top 100 chart.

  • @debiliff1 Rose Royce made this song a hit in '78. A lot of people don't even know Teena Marie covered this song unless you are a true fan.

  • This is almost as bad as what Lauren Hill did to "Killing me Softly". I don't blame Beyonce. She's talented and had her nitch but whoever decided to produce this should never work again.

  • Don't mess with perfection -- Rose Royce did it best.

  • It sounds and feels cold icecold ,without feelings ,only rich production made in Wallstreet by moneymakers mtv shit,stupid fucking buisiness stuff , thats heartless

  • This version is horrible !

  • damn fools at least she(Beyonce) acknowledges the music of the past that you soooooooooooo complaining about our youth not remembering--idiots-----thank you Beyonce for not sounding like Rose Royce and  thank God she sounds like Beyonce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great Song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @willthebest1 no she sucked. boycotte beyonce now common people united we stand

  • a travesty

  • sent to Animal Kingdom with respect, love... promise to keep pressure to protect them, promise to stop destroying their habitats, families.. sorry for the sins of man

  • miriam stockley sing it better...

  • love the 10th kingdom....but the original is better^^

  • aint nothing better then the Original cant nobody sing it better then Gwen Dickey but i think Beyonce did a great job it would have been better with just a nice picture of beyonce, the video clips take away from the sencerity of her vocals..

  • Well all I have to say is WHY. It was perfect the way it was, now it's just commercialism. This is really bad

  • Wow ... a lot haters here ... I like it .... Is it better or does it even come close to the ORIGINAL? No. But It's a good try.

  • This version is lame. Some songs should be not be re-made.

  • Not bad.

  • Some things are best left alone and this is one of em. Sorry yonce gwen dickey got you on this one

  • I was gonna trip about her messing with this song. but after i heard it. Damn.. Beyonce sound sexy as fuck.

  • rose royse needs better recover for this great song!

  • that was from the pink panther!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! omg, thats not her singing Wishing On A Star

  • teena marie was gud

  • I gave you a 5 Star because Bey added Beauty to the Song. Thanks! ~Andree'

  • I like Rose Royce version better.

  • I love the lyrics !!

  • no, no, no, no, no, no!!!! i'm the biggest bey fan, but she need to quit. she did one okay remake (the closer i get to you w/ luther vandross) and she shoulda just left this classic alone. some of em you just should listen to and not try to "jazz it up" or remake

  • Check out Paul Weller, version, AWESOME, I am a big Rose Royce & Beyonce fan, but check weller's version

  • Rose Royce does it better.

  • SoothingSound - HATER....they had better done it better it's their song but you have to give it her Beyonce she done a good job and anyone cam after her wouldnt do as well. Face it DUDE Beyonce has a fantasic voice and you know this man. PEACE!

  • SoothingSound - Rose Royce look like HELL back then and they look like HELL now so Beyonce do add class and style to the song. If ayone dont understand pull up Rose Royce and you'll see what I mean.

  • I'm sorry I have to correct you but I do not hate Beyonce. My OPINION is that Rose Royce SINGS the song better. Peace!

  • Rose Royce SINGS the song better yepper

  • this version sucks. miriams version is much better, more emotional ...but this...just makes me sick. shows that a good body and a good voice doesn`t fit 2 every song -.-"

  • Make me sick too

  • Shes so sexual

    If I saw her in person, my jizz would be flooding my pants til I was all out of fluids.

    Then, I would be dry jizzing. lol

  • im so glad jay z sticking marcy projects dick all in her country ass throat....this bitch is fake to me period...she aint about wat she sings at all...the bitch is corny....and her fucking wit jay is even cornier..a joke...we all kno why that shit happened in the first place....if any of you niggas get bigger than jayz in the game...she can be yours to..lol

  • A cover is never as good as the original, because if you fall in love with the original -you want that one. As for a cover, it can bring back the love for the original -so cover all you want. As for Beyonce' -she's trying to hard in the video- maybe less frantic dance.

    But Beyonce and her voice are always great. Good cover, but not better than the one I fell in love with -Rose Royce.

  • way better than rose royce

  • yeh rite...get the fuck outta here wit that comment yo....rose royce will never be topped from no one...you see this bitch beyonce is on rose royce dick by remaking the shit...damn you dumb

  • I have to agree with Moped..

    some songs need to be left alone.

  • Yawn. I wonder how many takes she needed to get this classic sounding average.

  • nothing against Beyonce but I am tired of people remaking songs..

  • I am not really a Beyonce fan, but  shocked at all the hate that people posted here, if u dont like her music dont listen to it or watch her videos, drop the hate!!

  • Rose Royce does it best. Beyonce fine but need to stick to Crazy In Love stuff.

  • come on guys. the cover isnt that bad

  • ii love beyonce and rose royce yall need to stop hatein we all kno wer the real song came from beyonce and rose are both angles frm heaven

  • get the fuck outta here beyonce you fake bitch...you cant fuck wit rose royce so stop it...fake ass bitch...i cant stand this hoe...im so glad jay z sticking dick all in her fucking throat...fake ass muthafucker

  • ahahhahahahhahahahahahhaaaa

  • I'm rose royce biggest fan. people will always try to sing rose royce songs.

  • Hey BEYONCE..stop making cover..u destroyed another beatifull song with your voice...

  • obsess a little?

  • she to cute, really dont believe she needs a man, this is a poor black womans song. You gotta be humbled by loss

  • @Ahab3447 you hit the nail right on the head, she dont need to be singing this song, she better stick to "put a ring on it,"but she is all that

  • I hate this cover

    It sucks

  • Comment removed

  • Garbage!!! The Bitch is too concerned about vougeing for this song to give it any meaning or feeling. Let's Dance, Let's Shout shake your titties down to the ground. shame on you Beyonce and your cash cow hangers-on camp. You're a bunch of bottom feeders. Keep SUCKING!

    Sell Out!!!!!!

  • at ;east beyonce didn't yodel it like she normally does...but this is just soft. rose royce's version was soft AND beautiful AND self assured.

  • if it aint broke dont fix it !! this song was perfect already she didnt need to do it over

  • nice try beyonce but rose royce did it best

  • @sexydivaboss I agree Beyonce can't touch rose royce, but Teena Marie's version is pretty awesome....

  • @stpauligirl52 You weren't kidding. Teena Marie's version is very awesome. Of course beyonce sings it very good but it's like comparing a cadillac with rolls royce... no comparison.

  • @sexydivaboss mmm, nice try but Andrea Pais did it best

  • Im not a Beyonce fan at all..bt i had to listen out of curiosity..now...when she did a cover of one of Luthers songs with Stevie Wonder I was glad she never went and did her yoddling over the top thing and i personally thort she did a good job..and thats what think about this cover..I think she did a great..and again i dont like Beyonce but i give her props..I also love the groove.. 5STARS*****

  • Theres songs that should be covered and then theres songs that nobody should touch. This is one! She should of left it alone.

  • Rose Royce is soooooo much better

  • Rose did it better....no surprise

  • prefer miss franks version much better....

  • so do i.

  • beyonce is a good singer, but srzly, this cover-version sucks. the original song is much better.

  • Okay I must admit, i was expecting a bad job but this is actually a pretty good cover. nice, smooth and soothing.

    beyonce is to sex. while rose royce is to feel good funk

  • Fred J love you...you are my sparkling star

  • Teena Marie's version rocks.

  • representando al genero femenino es toda una artista!!!luv beyonce!

  • I love B's cover of this song, Her voice is so smooth and sexy! Love it.

  • Lawd GIVE IT A REST! Just cuz someone does a Cover of a song dont mean they tryin to TAKE IT or OUT DO THE ORIGINAL. Yall GROW THE HELL UP! I know a lot of yall dont like Beyonce and her success but just say that U DONT LIKE HER and STOP watchin her damn videos! Yall nitpick over EVERYTHING this lady doin just cus she on top of her game and yall tired of seein her. TOO DAMN BAD...she'll leave the TOP when she retires or when someone pushes her off... THE END.

  • Tell 'em, well said!

  • I disagree, I think she did a pretty good job; I do agree with you, she wasn't as good as the original, but she did good...

  • sorry beyonce you tried to sing like the original what a bold move however you are all like the rest that have tried an failed the only thing I have to say is NEXT

  • @STEVE038564 Good one. Why did'nt she just stand there shaking her beautiful body about and mime the words from Rose Royce,

  • i don't like beyonce. and when i noticed this version of "Wishing on a star"..i didn't want to watch it..but. Eeeehm. I truly dislike it.. baaah. The original is much better!

  • the intro like 0:00 - 0:22 the "Ohhs and Ahhs" lol sound really beautiful!

  • i was really expecting her to kill it like she do everything else but she didnt...i like rose royce better,sorry and im a fan of beyonce....

  • Rose Royce recorded the best version, but best cover honors must go to Teena Marie!!!

  • @Margoil  Agreed

  • Some ppl need to show respect and step back from a classic and refuse to sing it with respect to the originator(s). this don't make me get up and get a drink a water!

  • rose royce, they are original! everything else is nearly. but keep going

  • Jesus Christ, what? does this woman think she can sing all the originals better than they did? She does a nice job but she dont draw tears from my eyes, like they did...

  • THE CAPTIONS RUIN THIS

  • its so damned commercialized though, I prefer the original....

  • its good but i prefer myas version from moving on but i love this song n beyonce did a great job

  • rose royce rocks try love dont live here anymore or the drum and bass version abandon me by yazz now thats is a tune long live the jungle

  • My generation sucks... ;(

    Go Rose!

  • beyonce sound like cabaret....the original go true feelings, rose give that special romantic sound that this song is!!!!

    THE ORIGINAL OF COURSE!!!

  • Rubbish compared to the original.

  • did they put effects on her voice?

  • I think no,why this ;)

  • HOLY MOTHER OF!!!

  • damn boi look at those flopping titties

  • Tune !

  • This is wonderful - good sound and very sexy - but Rose Royce is still my favorite.

  • i think beyonce did a great job on this remake, dont get me wrong, rose royce is a classic and is great as well, but i gotta give my girl beyonce her props on this one, very smooth

  • this is not better than the original.

    beyonce put no soul in this remake.

  • ALWAYZ LOVE THE SONG

  • got to give it to her on this

  • Rose didn't need all the warm up and theatrics Beyonce has with her version which she did ok on. There is nothing like a classic, music today is just there, and won't ever be LEGENDARY!

  • i love Beyonce...x

  • She's a legend!!

  • beyonce is my idol!!! :)

  • belle interprétation d u ghroupe Rose Royce

  • beyonce has the best version

    Royce's version is "ok" ... her vocals are just POOR compared to Bey's

  • u gotta be kidding. Roses version is the best!!

  • no one cuts it the original gwen dickey.

    it doesnt even sound like the same song

  • she yells to muchhh!!!!!

  • Beyonce is good at butchering any song.She thinks she can sing high notes.Please bring back Rose Royce

  • I agree, however this song she did a decent job, for once, very jazzy. :D

  • This song is whats up and will never go out of style!

  • No one comes close to Gwen Dickeys original.

  • i love this song no matter what....this goes out to my poohbear!

  • i don't know why but that begining part really confuses me...and makes me laugh hysterically...

  • She made it good I like it but nothings better than rose royce.

  • This song will always remind me of you. Better?

  • "This song will always remind me of you" Aw.... sooo perfect

    Yes baby

  • Beyonce sounds good and soulful in this very nice...

  • I cannot deny the great quality that beyonce has brought to this track.

    Of course the original will always be better, that's just how it is with originals and covers.

    However Beyonce really good vocal control in this song, and brought her own personal swagger to it. I much prefer when she is controlling her voice like this whilst still displaying her abilities, as opposed to when she is belting out loud noise, because I find that this style is much more listenable for long periods of time.

  • Beyonce Knowles sounds good but the original version by Rose Royce sounds best.
