Beyonce Sings Jill Scott's He Loves Me

[lashimaful]

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy did yu even do that.

[SuperAlacia]

UUmmmm..yeah. She didn't even know all of the words. Sorry, because I like Bey, but this isn't in her comfort zone!

[Bcool1978]

That's some BULLSH*T. I never heard of someone singing someone else's song from the current generation.

[carlosismines]

Damn she ain't gotta challege Jill Scott now. Beyonce need to sit her old tired ass down somewhere 

[NaturallyNita]

Beyonce...boo...stick to pop & dance songs...you made a mess of this.

[rickames]

I'm glad that she's flatterd by Jill Scott to attempt to do that.

[markechio]

lmfao....what a mess.....never cared for her vocals..

[turnipdaisy]

she simply does not have the vocal range to sing this song

[JazzyFunkyCool]

Sure, she is no Jill Scott, I agree but I think her cover is not bad though. And well, who would have thought she would cover a Jill Scott song? I certainly didn't expect that

[PastorJr]

NO BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THAT IS KAREN CLARK-SHEARD'S SONG... JILL SCOTT DIDNT WRITE THAT SONG BOO BOO

[mianji8579]

@PastorJr no pastor , I'm sorry, Jill writes all her own music....has since she started. She wrote that song.

[SASSYme73]

@PastorJr Jill did write this song way back in 2002 on Jill Scott Experience. Karen Clark sang it with Kierra on The Heavens Are Telling in 2003. If you look up Karen's CD on Wikipedia it will tell you that she reworked Jill's song. I cannot post the link to the article for some reason....

[mizzsoulsista]

@PastorJr...no karen reworked it...it's a jill scott song. lyzel in e-flat written for her ex husband.

[chinystar09]

Lmao! Beyonce was tripping. She sounds hella bad...smh....she can NOT compete with Jill. Never.

[SewCraftful]

She's no Jill Scott.

[cyulove]

I think she sounds good - she just put her own style on it - its great!

[mzrpoo]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!



[ladybost74]

leave jill scot alone u r out of ur leage B

[mzrpoo]

@ladybost74....SO TRUE!!!!

[tanhart19]

I thought i was gonna be the only one to say NOOO! HELL NOOO! never again. She's not on her leveelllll!

[MsLongNails]

This is terrible, I'm surprised she didn't fall.

[babyb120306]

ummm beyonce needs not to try jill scott...

[gameboy11]

Wow, Beyonce. Work it, girl!!

[khamikins]

I hope Jil get her Royalties for this

[musikenergy]

This sounds great...until you hear Jill Scott sing it live. Once you hear Jill's version, you'll never want to hear anyone else fix their lips to pretend to sing it.

[jido35]

@musikenergy Hahaha! Ain't that the truth!!!

[natifahghana]

omg y wud she think she has da right to do this. jill way better dan her by far

[Janae89Vidz]

This really goes to show that Beyonce stans are delusional. While Beyonce did do a great job with the song. She did not sound horrible at all. She did wonderfully. But for those to say she did it better than Jill either have something seriously wrong with them or they just haven't heard Jill sing this song live. Because if they have, no NORMAL person with a working, functional brain will say Beyonce slayed this song better than Jill. NO FUCKIN' WAY!

[JRFSDX]

Beyonce Sang it better than Jill Scott Beyonce did a great job

[thicky520]

no way beyonce!!!...some things you just cant touch!!...jill scott is the best !!!!!

[aylap757]

BEYONCE sounds best doing BEYONCE songs. "A" for effort Bey but ya gotta know when a song is best done smooth n sexy. She has a habit of bein a tad too ummm.....what's the word......uhmm...EXTRA!!

[viviviv586]

love you Bey but errum...hell to the no....HELL TO THE NO.....Live all Jill's songs alone.

[gasnra09]

She sounds like two cats fighting in an alley! Yuck!

[Diva1932]

They applauding that sh%t, lol Stick to your own songs B.

[jibaritobueno]

She should have left that one alone. We love you Beyonce, but stay away from songs that belong to the likes of Jill Scott, Jazmine Sullivan, or Kim Burrell. These are some beasts in the singing industry...and you're not on their level.

[tricianfred]

@jibaritobueno ~ Finally someone that speaks the truth, I like Beyonce but your sooo right she cannot handle the vocal likes of the women you mentioned and so many more...! She needs to stick to what she does best hot fast club songs to shake your booty too...! She can do a ballad but her way...!

[ladybost74]

@jibaritobueno i agree

[SuperJadeDragon]

@jibaritobueno Oh that is so not true. But hey it's your opinion just like this is mine.

[jibaritobueno]

@SuperJadeDragon ....truth is relative and everyone has their opinions. I'm a musician and I make my judgement from that standpoint and most MUSICIANS would agree with me on this topic. I'm pretty confident you're only a listener and somewhat of a fan. Therefore, maybe you should reconsider expressing yourself on subjects that have much more depth than you have explored or are willing to explore.

[SuperJadeDragon]

@jibaritobueno So because you are a musician that makes you an authority in vocal talent? That is ludicrous. Just as you are a musician I am a singer. I know my area just like you know yours but because we both create music doesn't mean I can tell you all about your playing. Please don't get the two mixed up. It's people like you who think they know everything that really make me laugh. U sound like a fan of the chicks U mentioned not a realist because they aren't all what U "Musicians" boast.

[jibaritobueno]

@SuperJadeDragon You're misguded! I sing as well as play because I decided study my craft. I create music from both perspectives. Now I'm certain u r a fan and listener, nothing more. All claim to sing. I know that you're ONLY a fan because real musicians and real singers have heard of the "CHICKS" that I mentioned. These "CHICKS" just happen to be musicians and incredible singers (beasts). Btw, it's my job as a producer to be an authority on vocal talents! What is ur validation?

[BOSSYBARBIE87]

@jibaritobueno AMEN SHE WILL GET HUMILIATED....AND YOU FORGOT KAREN CLARK SHEARD... SHE DONT WANNA SEE THEM IN OR OFF THE STAGE...

[jones6403]

Stick with what you do Boo! This is not it...

[MicheleSakyi]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooo!!

[ladybost74]

@MicheleSakyi i agree

[honeyluv15]

JILL SCOTT IS THE QUEEN..HER WORDS HER VOICE HER ELEGENCE..love you beyonce..this is a beautiful song!

[petty2g]

She didn't kill it like Jill does.

[psychmaj323]

lol, she did OK, but nothing like JILL! I like Beyonce, but she's POPISH.

[xmxdbigbootyx]

oh no this bitch did not fuck the song up like that.....i agree stone the bitch.

if i was Jill Scott i would have told her about herself....

morena.

[Jazzy993]

she should have been stoned. Some songs you do not mess with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[diiggas]

From the way some people here react everytime someone says that they like more this version or that version, it just seems that their liking of this song is dependant on whether others like it too or on whether others think it's the best version. There's no need to hate Beyoncé or other artists that covered it because they never said that it was their song. Everyone knows that it's Jill's. That doesnt mean that others wont do a great job covering it and that people cant agnoledge that.

[tonyoldlady]

First of all no one is saying that Beyonce can't sing. It's just that the "great job" that you think that she is doing is not being done. She should really try sticking to her own songs because she sounds good for what she sings. Because when she sings other artists song she tends to try too hard.

[diiggas]

When you say "a great job is not being done" that's just your opinion which isnt in any way more valid than mine. I also like Jill's version better but that doesnt mean that I have to bash Beyoncé's version to show how much I love Jill's. Or that I have to overreact saying that it's the worst thing ever made or worse...act like someone had got killed everytime I read an opinion contrary to mine.

[tonyoldlady]

If you look closely I never said anything the was critical about her. All I was saying is that she tends to over sing other people music trying to do their song better than them and she sounds like a hot mess. Simply put, she can't sing everything. Any true singer knows that every song is not for them and this song just happens to be the one that she needed to leave alone

[diiggas]

If saying that someone sounds like a hot mess is not critical than I dont know what critical is. But that's ok you know. You can be critical. But one thing is not to like. Another thing is to say "how dare she?" or "she shouldnt even try". The purpose of a cover is not to try to be the best or even be good. It's just do the song in your own style. What you see as oversinging I see as her style, smth she does in her own songs. Annoying maybe but proves that she's not trying to imitate Jill.

[tonyoldlady]

If you read what was written by me you will see that I never said anything about he sounding like a "hot mess" (you must feel like she does). I was just saying that she should sing her own songs because she does a great job at that. Trying to sing any Jill Scott song is not the best way to go.

[diiggas]

"...she tends to over sing other people music trying to do their song better than them and she sounds like a hot mess."

As you can see, you're clearly contradicting yourself. So instead of going on this back and forth, I'm just gonna let you read your own comments, let you come to the conclusion that you're not being coherent and by doing that, I'll save my time which is what I should've have done in the first place.

[tonyoldlady]

well fuck it she really dos sound like a hot mess

[shanghaichica]

I think you hit the nail on the head, a singer cant sing everything and this is one of those songs which Beyonce should have left alone. Beyonce is good at singing her own songs and other types of songs in her genre, but her voice is not suited to this song.That vocal style she has will only work on her own songs, but she just over sang this and shouted it.

[Mykimoto]

This is proven fact that beyonce CANNOT sing everything! How dare she taint Jill Scott's beautiful song like that? I wish Jill was there to bitch slap her

[elindat]

beyonce is amazing...but you can't sing this like jill can!

[imstillarose]

oh hell no

[hollywoodsbesttalent]

lmfao.

this is funny

because beyonce' think she can kill every song but in this case NO! your not the QUEEN at everything.

I LOVE YOU BEY, but No. I still love you tho :)

[msbritchick]

Ummm.....I gotta say, although I do loves me some Beyonce, she sometimes gets too theatrical and her voice is far too much for this delicate song. She overpowers the music. Can't nobody do it like Mizz Scott!

[shogunkaras]

Wtf, Beyonce fucking up JILL SCOTT'S song. No one does it like JS, nobody can top the originator when she has a voice like that.

Beyonce, go res your feet and let Jill do her thing and take over the mic man.

[adewalemischief]

get beyonce off the track man, how dare she kmt

[bcount1]

no beyonce you can not do jills song go sit down somewhere

[tkj1985]

She did ger thing onthat doe!

[aceyzeta1]

did she ask permission LOL

[brownsugerkiss]

This sucks! No one does it like J. Scott, not even B can compare.

[blkbimmer90]

its the video not beyonce

[OnyxCMB]

I love B; however this song is not her style, she did a beautiful job, but No one can do this like Jill, Jill wrote this for her ex-husband Lyzel, the full title of the song is "He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat)"

[htownlove85]

beyonce's voice is beautiful but the job was done when jill sung it originally hands down

[punication]

doesnt fit to her forget it

[SayItTwice1122]

Nah.

Not for Beyonce...it's not horrible, though...it just doesn't have that same calm, soulful feel to it that Jill's does.

Not my fave Beyonce cover song.

[dabrowndemon]

you cant take nothing from Jill cause her soul is rapped in everything she does and everybody knows it

[escapedlabmonkey7053]

I just hope JIll got paid for this

[onthehumble03]

My thoughts exactly

[blkicequeen]

yeah even thought i luuuuuuv me some B but it doesnt have the same soulful and heartfelt feeling as when Jill sung even though she sounded great as always... and i usually luv n e thing she sings

[mzfreeagent]

beyonce has a nice version, but jill wrote that song from the heart so i think she feels every word and sings it in an undescribeable way. jill gives me goosebumps. beyonce did a good job though

[onegreeneye]

there's no one better to use a god-given talent for than to use for God..what he gives, give back & use for the good...love it...i wish she'd do more

[HouseCat08]

Beyonce has a nice voice, however, this is not her element. This song requires a soulful voice. A soulful voice she does not have. Her voice is meant for pop and r&b. Jill is for soul. That's why so many younger people like B. She's for kids. Jill is for the grown and sexy. lol

[NeoEpzilon]

Thats not true though, Beyonce is one of the few mainstream artists from today that Still feels music, and she felt this song... and she did well.

[HouseCat08]

What do you mean by "Still feels music"?

[QUEENakaAMAZON]

I AGREE

[metamorphosis4u]

when i watched Beyonce's Live Experience concert and i heard this it was a different spin, and it was unexpected and I loved it, it made me go out and by Jill's New CD so artist should support each other, when I heard it, I didn't think she was taking anything away from Jill just adding more diversity to her own concert.

[onthehumble03]

I wonder if that was B's intention when she sung that song. To sing someone else's song and someone go out and buy another artists' CD. lol.

[Muriness1]

Its nice but she doesnt compare to Jill Scott

[ashemrob]

Why even compare the two versions. Thats like Jill Scott singing dangerously in love. Beyonce likes jills style. Beautiful song either way.

[brixcity973]

who needs the music industry and all its artists when byeonce can sing and match any vocalists key for key.

[NeoEpzilon]

lol i know right?

[theoedot]

jill ones is better. but beyonce did her thing still.. Jilly for Life

[dominick513]

yall are so damn confused she did'nt do this song like her at all..she did a cover which mean in her own way jill did'nt even do the notes like that beyonce added the damn spin on to it and it was terrific and passion is when you feel the song and she was directing and everything so it's not whats better and whats not

[thumpusnow]

Have you seen JS sing this live? If not please do so. There is a BIG diff. "Cover" or not, some songs are just perverted by others. Tainting this song is her right, but her "cover" does no justice to the original and def not to what you get in a JS concert.

[dominick513]

i heard it and i loved it..but thats like luther vandross and beyonce the closer i get to you vs roberta flack and donnyhathaway version nothing beats the original but i like the way luther and beyonce did it jus like i like the way beyonce did this i mean shes no jill scott we all know that but beyonce said jill was one of her favorite singers so it's cool she did a tribute to her you know

[thumpusnow]

i kinda see your point.

[shanghaichica]

Amen!!

[shanghaichica]

She took all the soul and beauty out of this song. This was a nice song. Beyonce just added uneccessary power to it.

[sweet7sassy09]

Jill Scotts is so much better because she has so much soul and emotion in it she def tore it up and plus that was jill scotts song

[thumpusnow]

I clicked on beyonce's version just to see and it confirmed why I havent purchased her albums. Jill is what all women know themselves to be and all girls dream of becoming. Beyonce is what a women evolved out of and what girls can relate too. she will get there one day (I hope)

[donnie2090]

beyonce version is so much better

[jennihemp]

no boo.. not at all. she did good.. but its not better than the original. Jill wrote it. Jill feels it.. and Jill can switch it as much as she wants.. Jill is the greatness.

but i do understand everyone has their own opinion.. Beyonce did a great job, but Jill does it better.

[nastyearwax]

jill does it better

[shay18]

i like how she takes her time...she has alot of power n her voice
