beyonce - a song for you

[tarmoul1]

Okay beyonce can sing But She's nothing compared to christina aguilera

[richzero0]

Beyonce sang it MUCH better than Xtina! <3

[tonio3602002]

why does everyone forget about whitney in '91?

[MrCareyn27]

Beyonce Shouldn't Have Never Touched This Song!!! Christina And Whitney's All Day Long

[justdavon]

Whitney sang it better with more emotion, depth and beauty... Beyonce is a substandard vocalist and she as much soul as a plastic Barbie doll...

[Dladybugc]

Actually, no one does it better than Donny Hathaway.

[cocaine1011]

Beyonce killed this song, in a bad way, Christina MURDERED it!!!!! In the greatest way ((:

[regenwurmpipi]

boooooring

[TrillLibra93]

Christina does it better...

[MrsZvezdana]

Just amazing...!!!! thanks for sharing with us :)))

[TheDanny2a]

Christina is waaaaaaaaaay better than her !

[MsLolloZ]

Donny Hathaway's version is the best, and will always be. Christina Aguilera did a great job because she made it "her own" style and Beyonce is an amazing vocalist, sings everything, and she did this song good but she didnt sing it like we want to hear it. It wasn't the right "power" and "emotion" to the song.

[sexyblack103]

I don't care what people say. I think Beyonce is a great vocalists and can sing anything she wants.

[Shawty453]

Donny Hathaway's version will always remain the best!

[03lilallen]

YEA BEE

[tytheeman20]

Beyonce took that last note from Whitney's version...yea it was boring :) it was just ok

[dd6765]

She not a vocalist, but she did a " so what ok" with this song.

[nikajuicy]

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!! UGHHHHHH SHE JUST MESSED THE WHOLE SONG UP...NO SOUL AND TOO MUCH ECHOING IN THE BACK ROUND

[winterbaby09]

beyonce did a DAMN good job with this song:)

[bklynchicka994]

Putting me to sleep Beyonce, I'm going to go listen to Christina Aguilera now.

[greendollar1]

does a better job than christina, more passion, less fancy trills and more soulful

[0oNiicoleo0]

I actually think it's way better than Christina's version, I don't think it's boring at all; with a song like this you have to keep it simple. Christina added to much to it in my opinion. Beyoncé's version is more touching. (Although I didn't like the echoing in this version)

[lovsneakers]

@msnwright1 that's funny because she is definitely from houston, tx. lol

[msnwright1]

don't like how her Bronx accent can be heard through out this rendition of the beautiful song. only Christina Aguilera or Whitney Houston (even Usher) has the voice for this particular song. Beyonce should stick to Dreamgirls. suppose this is why Jay-Z did not clap at the 2006 Grammy Awards; he knew Christina does it better!!!

[bklynchicka994]

@msnwright1 I mad you said Bronx -_-

[msnwright1]

don't like how her Bronx accent can be heard through out this rendition of the beautiful song. only Christina Aguilera or Whitney Houston (even Usher) has the voice for this particular song. Beyonce should stick to Dreamgirls. suppose this is why Jay-Z did not clap at the 2006 Grammy Awards; he knew Christina does it better!!!

[sullismooth]

@msnwright1 she is from Houston not the Bronx

[mizrhee1]

This sucks... and I love B... but she is certainly no songstress!

[sexyblack103]

@mizrhee1 I think she is!

[aldon222]

Nobody does it better than Donny !

[dirrtybiggams]

wtf up with that begining with all that mes she was doin? people wipe and stuff but i got a whiff of pretentious bitch with that! lol

[yahiie]

cant beyoncé fucking sing w/out the reverb?

[phoebs50]

Its alright.. Prefer Christina.

[Impersonal108]

1:48 What's happen to the dancer? Auuuuuu

[ImaniL8]

@Impersonal108 looooooooooooool i noticed that too. Looks like she span too hard, I love the way they just switched back to Beyonce again.

[alghow]

Not a bad performance. But we could do without the reverb.

[sophisticatedCRN]

Beyonce's performance > Christina's performance. I liked them both, but this is not a song for a million rifts and to be over sung. 

[johnsmith8848]

shes improved majorly since this

[Trammelbach]

how is this not beautiful? First Beyonce has the more beautiful tone and vibrato than christina by far. And Christina killed the song, in a negative way. To many riffs and runs, like she usually does. Beyonce did great and you know it, it`s amazing how she can start a note and give it an aggressiv grunt with vibrato! She is a true singer.

[1flutedude]

@Trammelbach THAT'S A LIE. LOL. BEYONCE'S REVERB IS ANNOYING, JUST LIKE MARIAHS OVER USAGE OF THE WHISTLE. BORING. THIS VERSION IS WHACK. DISSAPOINTING.

[Trammelbach]

@1flutedude how can it be a lie? it`s my opinion, your response is pathetic.

[MzJuelz]

this was wack... wheres the soul

[Jazzoooka]

i hate the echo

[yesmaybeWTF]

All the C. Aguilera fans going off on this video should've went out and bought Bionic. - A quote for you. :)

[bklynchicka994]

@yesmaybeWTF I bought the album & you don't have to be a CA fan to know Christina did this song better.

[elainacamille]

that dancer has some beefy legs.

[jmon08hawks]

its donny hathaway's song... he sings it best.. better than whitney, stevie, christina, michael buble. all of em

[saffron1922]

What possessed her to sing this while Christina at the same time was touring with Herbie Hancock promoting this song?? What is that echo mess? You know I am an Xtina fan I admit she over sings, but I prefer her over-singing to Beyonce's over vibrato usage. that warbble she loves.. my gosh

[1flutedude]

@saffron1922 YEAH X-TINA IS AMAZING. BEYONCE'S REVERB IS ANNOYING

[T0KY0DYM0N]

y so many people hatin on beyonce honestly u cnt compare her to christina nd whitney they r so completely different styles

[ciciliajean]

beyonce's dancing makes me uncomfortable... all of her turns are turned in...... and her borre' is leading with her front foot not the back... and she sickles... ICK!

[LadyL718]

Beyonce voice is not for this song She tries too hard Whitney did it better

[xklynnx]

Christinas version cannot be topped no matter who u are. She is simply the bes

[MyClw]

love it

[ikom35]

whitney's version is still far better.

[urticket]

i love beyonce but she is not that great of a singer to perform this song.

[elwais09]

she uses alot of reverb with her performances... this song doesnt quite wrk 4 her i think...

[chesneysimon]

this may not eb the best version and xtinas defo not she dun way way to many runs. the best version from a woman sits nicely and safe with the queen of voice ms houston

[Stown718]

who ever is doing the sound board needs to turn down the echo

[cakh1022]

Christina's version much better!

[NEWMUSICLIKE]

so is this why Jay-Z didn't applause Christinas version, because he knew she killed it!

[ddff1000]

Aguileras version is sooo much better sorry b

[Syfofunk]

Chrsistina DESTROYS Bey,but they both good!

[DCfan4life]

I think she did fantastic! Christina I felt did too many runs and it was all over the place, they're both great singers but I just Beyonce's version was smoother and better. My opinion

-Bruce

[Lostintheflames12]

christina killed, beyonce is good, but christina owned this song!

[bitofthat]

i love beyonce iam a big fan but her voice is not okay on this christina killed it !!!

[jennyjennn27]

too much echo

[peppemax10]

whitney houston FOR EVER beyoncè is grat performer!!!.... but whiteny is whitney!!!!!

[aguilerafun]

it's not fair how you're discriminating Christina, @shirosakijin. i like beyonce because her voice is special and most of her songs are just bitching. but her vocal range isn't better than Christina. so i think it isn't right but just prejudiced opinion. i know beyonce is simple and good and christina likes running and doin loud and powerful notes. but thats why she's so special. why every artist have to be the same?

[shirosakijin]

Donny = THE man for this song.

Whitney = Legend

Buble = Tasteful

Beyonce = Soulful

Christina... Plain loud.

[junierla]

Porra! horrível né vei!

christina Aguilera e Hearbie Hankoc são os donos dessa musica!

Beyoncé é invejosa msm, s queimou!

CHRISTINA AGUILERA CARALHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OO!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[jerco01]

Beyonce is a great performer,, but every time she sings a song already sang by Xtina

( ladymarmalade, A song 4 u and At Last )

cant help to compare them, Xtina is way better but they are both one of the very few artist who can really perform and sing live...

[murcierIII]

@jerco01 i agree that beyonce is a great entertainer..but she is also a great vocalist, go watch her sing ave maria live in atl...it is amazing!

[shirosakijin]

I would agree that Beyonce didn't really do this song very well, but she's definitely a much better singer and artist than Christina.

[acizz1]

Christina was better, Whitney was the BEST! Beyonce is a great, great, ENTERTAINER! She is not a GREAT Vocalist! A GOOD Vocalist, NOT A GREAT!

[Ricardos1]

This version has so much echo to make her average voice sound full that its giving me a headache..I don't now how the audience went through this torture with all the echo..I need to pop to Excedrin pm to get rid of the headache..Christina Aguilera Mops the floor with her when it comes to VOCALS!! Beyonce has no soul

[LoNgY2oo9]

michael buble's version is better dan ne1 elses hess too good ! :)

[ealfaro19]

Es una version muy diferente a cualquiera que haya escuchado antes... Pero insisto, porque Beyoncé tan talentosa, siempre intenta cantar los mismos covers que Christina magnificamente ha cantado ya?? (A Song For You, Fever, At Last) Q por cierto ese ultimo disgusto muchisimo a Etta James, que es la cantante original... Ella (Beyoncé es buena, pero eso que hace no megusta) Deveria sacar sus propios cover y hacerlos como nadie; porque de que puede puede...

[bugerbiger]

christina's is way better

[keekee0914]

Actually the best version is Donny Hathaway! His version has so much heart and soul in it as if it was an actual conversation or love letter to someone. Check his version out.

[Ezkl323]

No one does it better than WHITNEY! Check out her version for the troops!!!

[vikkifamous17]

Christina aguilera does it wayyyy better, but i have to admit the dancing was amazing love it

[HiddenPassion1]

i love this version :) The echo was only in the beginning :) and the dancer was very good :)

[unbias420]

this girl can never sing a live version without having that damn echo effect.......Christina would floor Bey in a sing off

[MySoulBelongsToMusic]

I have to say, I strongly dislike many of beyonce's songs, dislike her style, think her voice is annoying. all the while, i love christina aguilera, admire her courage, her tone, and her repertoire. all the while, i have to tell you, i listened first to christina's version, and it didn't stick with me. i didn't remember one line of melody in the entire thing, and easily read comments while her video was playing. while beyonce was singing, i actually listened to the beauty of the song. good job!

[nur89d]

the echo did annoy me at some points but i prefer it to Christina's actually. I think this is one of those songs where less is more and Christina over does it a bit some times... or so I feel. Still both are AMAZING singers and give the song their own style :)

[jho2502]

:( prefiero infinitas veces la de Christina

[mixjumpers]

the echo is sooo annoying she doesent beat xtinas version ha

[livetodancexox]

beyonce is gooodd.

but christina aguilera is better in my opinion and better singer tooo.

but beyonces pretty damn amazing too(:

[AveIvy]

Sorry Whit does it waaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

[atolm1]

ugh this sucks. hate the echo and Beyonce cant sing a straight line without having to put runs into every line, its so annoying. this sucks big time.

[al221177]

Have you seen whitney's version? Untouchable!

[yaskam]

You should listen ARETHA's version. Just UNIQUE and GENIUS!

[dimryman]

What a boring version... Christina did it better than her at grammys!!!

[babyboi1002]

Yup...that's where she got the idea from....lol

[IwannaBeUrGod]

@dimryman LOL, Beyoncé is the best performer in the whole world, it proved, she's the woman record, the woman who everybody loves so much in showbizz. You CAN'T comparate her to christina. Grammy? Chirstina won 5 grammy, Beyoncé won 5 grammy in one night, she has 16 grammys.

[sexyameriefan]

U gotta be kidding me, over 10 years in music buisness and she's can't sing? Yeah, some people just making me laugh by their low inteligence :)

[el3ctroboi]

atshh!!!

beyoncè didn't do it better than Christina..there's no comparattion..

Christina dares to sing this kind of songs 'cuz she has the strength and the power to sing them...

and beyoncè..it's just beyonce, she can't really sing actually...how does she dare to sing this beautiful song?

Christina did it with a wonderful piano player...

well it's my point of view...beyoncè has to keep singing easy songs just like britney and jessica simpson

[Eddtv1]

beyonce doesnt have the technique for this and the echoing is irritating. Christina did better bcuz she had the range. this is boring and it too lacks emotion

[bobbybeanroger]

@Eddtv1 Christina had all the range in the world to butcher. Christina singing this song is one of the most awful things I have ever heard. Its so sad!

[incrediblytruee]

christina did it well, but Beyonce's version is better to me

[NateNH]

Beyonce's versions betta than christina's to me it sounds like christinas trying 2 hard technically with all the ad libs and everything that the emotion is being lost. But Beyonce has the balance just right here.

[mzpianaplaya]

Beyonce cannot sing this song...christina auguilara did it better ...way better

[sardinho84]

how can you say that aguilera sung it better... ?!?!?!

Christina changed it completely!! vocalinzing too many times..

[TorchieMcTorchels]

I love beyonce, but this performance sucked. She got the words wrong at one part, and her voice dosent work with the song. She seems like shes trying to emulate Donny Hathaway's version of the song, and she has too much vibrato or something. Its just not simple/soulful enough. Also what the fuck was with the spinning?

[virginQ]

i give anyone credit who sings this great song, its hard to beat after Karen Carpenters phenomenal voice touched it...Leon and Ray have good versions, yet Karen Carpenter took it to another level....deep!

[fuoconapoletano]

GIORGIA the best !!!

[josephjmg18]

For those who think Christina sung it the best, you must be tone death, because you couldn't hear all them flat notes. Go back and watch it. You'll see. This was really good considering Bey didn't sing the whole thing. If she would of made it to the end it would have been really powerful.

[daniel1987545]

beyonce can sing but for some reason this song sounds dry when she sings it. it takes some emotion to sing certain songs, even though we know she does good with showing emotion in her performances and songs but this didnt do it for me..... she's still a great performer and singer. and christiana did a good job. a song like this is perfect for showing your range and etc. like i said though great singer just this performance was ok not really great like her usual performances...

[garfieldUSA]

WHAT'S WITH THE ECHO? &^%$#@*&^%

[giraffieaurus]

FUCK THE ECHO. She can't live without it, like Mariah can't live with her wind machine.

[Kenudigme]

turn the echo off

[stylophonicberlin]

christina did i t better

[garfieldUSA]

i agree with u stylophonicberlin , i just watched Christina's version , it's much better.

[josephjmg18]

I disagree. She was off on most notes. Beyonce consistantly stays on key.

[garfieldUSA]

well that's ur opinion , i have my own . Christina is a pro just like Beyonce, both of them are one of the best singers,. so that's impossible that she was off on most notes.

[josephjmg18]

How is it an opinion that someone was flat. Watch the grammy video yourself.

[garfieldUSA]

i don't wanna argue about this josephjmg, BUT I THINK U ENJOY ARGUING ABOUT "WHO'S MORE TALENTED" PORTION, THAT'S MY OPINION, AND SOME PPL HAS THE SAME OPINION, IF U LIKE BEYONCE'S VERSION THAN CHRISTINA I WILL NEVER FORCE U TO CHANGE UR MIND.. RESPECT MINE AND WE'LL RESPECT URS..END OF DISCUSSION!

[reniafrompoland]

Ray Charles' version is the best but Beyonce is one of the best, she doesn't show off her voice with no sense like Christina or Whitney, she holds emotions and gives the right meaning.

I hope MJB would sing it some day.

[MCFan20000]

what? HAHAHA, beyonce always tries to show off her voice and she is right now, thats all her capabilities shes trying to show case here

[TJNYC118]

that is what all singers do whenever they get on a stage and sing.DUH

[samuelishmedia]

The Carpenters version of the song was much better than this, I can't compare it to Ray Charles version because I haven't heard that version but I also think that the Carpenters version was better than Leon Russells original and Christina Aguileiras. =)

[wrapup07]

i hated the echo...hmp...and i got sleepy hearing her.

[beatsofsoultrain]

sorry i like beyonce but here she sings awful.very soulless

[josephjmg18]

seriously.

[shining4moon]

christina & whitney version r better!

[lady2luuvly]

Whitney Houston's 1991 vh1 special version is the best!

[piano10192]

the dancing was incredible.

[piano10192]

god, i love her <3

she so beautiful

[moeru94]

yes, Xtina's version is soo much better!!

[Pichinchi]

OMG Christina Version is 1000 times better! Xtina has a powerfull voice the best! beyonces is greate too but inconparable with Xtina! really!

[cushe83]

get the hell outta here christina can't sing no where near as well as beyonce, you need to look at beyonce singing atlast and then christina, no contest B all the way

[jeneisy17]

Christinas version is better, But she still sounds good also..

[giraffieaurus]

WTF IS WITH THE DAMN ECHOING?! Anyways, I like Christina's version better.

[mrl699]

Check out Ray Charles, Willie Nelson and Leon Russel performing this live-together. Ray is mesmerizing.

[herlaugh]

Christina and Donny Hathaway did it so much better.

[AlbGurl]

christina aguilera killed this song. beyonce needs to fall back.

[BizzyBurg05]

does anyon have this performance on dvd

[classikdonovan]

AMAZING as usual!

[PatandBruceFan]

This is one of my all time favorite songs...I love Beyonce's voice but I didn't care so much for this performance. I agree with Anna Mae Bullock....too heavy on the runs and such.

Donny Hathaway's version is still the one that leaves me breathless. Also the Michael Buble cut is wonderful. I prefer this song sung very intimately.

[artistik12]

wait a minute... when did she sing this...? and why wasn't i informed... y'all rude...lol y'all should have told me! lol

[AnnaMaeBullock]

Beyonce is the greatest female performer ever, however, her offering of this songs lacks quite a bit, particularly the emotional vunerability. She's not feeling it & merely rushing through it. Too heavy on the histrionics.

[kobacha]

I love Beyonce way more then X-tine but i just perfer x-tina to sing this over her :/

[DAYVION21]

fuck what you said beyonce did her thang!!! nobody can beat this bitch!!

[kobacha]

I didnt say she didnt. I just said i perfer xtina's version. and i still say beyonce is the best in the game right now... its just this song didnt touch me the way xtina's did..

Look.. I'm the biggest beyonce fan there is so stop tripping.

[ClydeVenus17]

Im with you!

[nikki342009]

whitney can beat beyonce singing 100 to 1 and that's real. Beyonce can sing her butt off but she CAN NOT BEAT WHITNEY

[meawaleed]

ah now i know its beyonce exclusive performance, coz i saw the other video shes singing like stevie wonder and diana rose, gosh shes always a great performer, very talented woman.. very sexy and beautifull, shes really my idol..

[nika1404]

this is my favorite song ever!!! and she does it so well

[bayaustin]

was this on the bET official DVD that came with b-day becuase i have the ultimate Performer the one that came with the bday cd but it wasnt this on there!???

[prosperabovehaters]

No it was the thing they did for AOL i believe but I could be wrong.

[prosperabovehaters]

that's not beyonce dancing by the way...i know that's not beyonce's body and she could do much better than that rokie dancing being displayed...that's a look alike for the dvd

[travonpariz]

duh.. it's her backup dancer......

[yazikin]

ummm beyonce doesn't do contemporary ... beyonce can't dance like dat she does hip hop and is very good at it

[endoftimes20100000]

I love You for this One Beyonce. I love This Song.

[naesfitz]

me no likey i heard better

[beyoncerocks1]

My girl B is outstanding! A true legend!

[BeyonceandKellyFan]

I Love this video...Beyonce is a fabulous Singer! And her singing this gave me chills. LUV YA BEE!

[SensationalBeauty100]

I love this performance!!! I love you Bey!!! She made me love this song even more!!!

[Grinia59France]

Beyoncé is simply incredible! I'm luvin' her

[rachid75]

oula la la amazingggggggg beyonce

[maritarab]

This was a nice performance. It shows that she appreciates classics. but i must say my favorite version of this song is by the soulful...the one and only... Mr. Donny Hathaway..Thaaaaaanx!!

[nelsonr1984]

agreed, he was amazing, christina has a awesome verison as well

[red99sun]

Whoever on the Keys is Outstanding. For the haters, Beyonce' don't care what you think personally. She is a true artist. She don't stage her performances and lip sing. There will never Be another "B"

[red99sun]

Very Talented Lady. Vocals, Range, Runs, and Performance wise she is the Truth. There will never be another Beyonce.

[kdj009]

This is such a BEAUTIFUL song! Ray Charles wrote this song for his wife B, just wanted to share that. But Beyonce tore it up man...she got skillz!

[loismustdie5458]

no he didn't, Leon Russell wrote this song in 1970

[ilhamoe]

love it!!!!!!

[sacredfire0074]

beyonce did an okay job, christina's version was too over done. chritina wss so busy doing runs and stuff that she got off the melody and it sounded a mess.

[Mohamed81]

Messy ass performance, what's with the echo...

Nobody will touch Whiteny's cover.

Bee is a good entertainer, but she should stay away from dark classic cuts like that...

[sexyseven7]

she over did this big time she coulda jus sang it like it was instead all those runs

[cheribabe]

omd beyonce did wel but christina is better =D

[annbam08]

FUCK ALL U HATiiN ASS HOES BEYONCE GETTiiN PAiiD 4 WAT SHE DO SO NO MATTER WHO LiiKE HER OR NOT SHE GONNA CONTiiNUE 2 GET PAiiD HOW ABOUT YALL GROW THE FUCK UP AND FiiGURE OUT HOW YALL GONNA GET AS RiiCH AS BEYONCE

&hearts;YUNG BAM

[Jrnb14]

bleh!

[keemy33]

I thought this performance was beautiful. I love to hear anyone with real talent sing it. She Jennifer Christina Toni Braxton whoever has the chops should get credit

[4Mzbrown]

This is a mess.
