Beyoncé - All I Could Do Was Cry

[baiwal]

r.i.p etta January 25, 1938 – January 20, 2012 <3 love from nz

[liamjlewis]

Probably just me... But with black eyebrows and light colored hair she really reminds me of Father Ted.

Now that's all kinds of wrong.

And on top of that it gave me a semi.

[candyrain1984]

wow, it took me a while to figure out why "that fucking rice" was the top comment... LOL I'm super slow.. I know that I ain't the only person that feels that way..

[Lufko007]

whatever .. im spechless Beyonce can do all.. with her voice ♥

[kaylah424143]

well done beyonce your amazing

[2JazzLoveLaugh95]

@rejeaable...no it was Michael Jackson song!!! # sarcasm

[rejeaable]

this is really etta james song

[08Goodas]

Stop hatin on Beyonce!!! Rip Miss James and I give the utmost respect... But Beyonce did this song justice and REINTRODUCED these classics to newer generations... And I CRY wen EVER I hear the remakes by her.

[Mrcee215]

@08Goodas These people do nothing but hate. I grew up to Etta and I can say that Beyonce is a better vocalist, the passion, the clarity and the range exceeds Etta at her highest and her best. Etta was phenomenal but this girl is exceptional great. A living legend and she wont need a movie dedicated to her memory before or after she passes for people to realize that. She's very current, not a has been. Appreciate her while she's here because talent like hers isnt available everywhere everyday

[beyonceboy100]

@Mrcee215 thank u nice said

[maddie4499]

damn beyonce

[MrAjani73]

There's no no mistaken it. Mrs. Carter definitely has talented and she is a beautiful woman on the eyes! I've been a fan of the music of Ms. James Before the movie Cadillac Records. But that's because I'm a vocalist and appreciate those who can truly convey true emotion in song. Ms. James did that! Now we have Beyonce who does the same!

[RomanRoyale]

Etta James passed away today you guys..makes me that more appreciative that Cadillac Records told her story and Beyonce's portrayal made me a Fan of Etta causing me to not only purchase Beyonces beautiful covers,but Etta's defining CLASSICS...rest in Peace Mother of the Blues

[lesha25able]

follow me @charmonroe..

[sh0nstar]

that damn rice gave me the chills!

[EFCTMCFC]

She sings with an angel inside her heart!

[KayKayBarbie1]

like if you cried on this lolz

[goddessoflove23]

and i say that because you can hear the soul in it

[goddessoflove23]

This is the type of music that suits Beyounce voice not the crap, she's singing now there are some good songs but some seem rushed

[teeeeeeeee123]

i freakin love this song think i might make a cover to it

[14Mermaidgirl]

man beyonce sing the hell out of this song sorry etta i like her version bettter

[KayKayBarbie1]

@14Mermaidgirl lolz i thought i was the only one who like her sing this song better

[RedWOLF4Life96]

Sorry B...Etta was better. Anyone agree?

[AnnieChaster]

@RedWOLF4Life96 No...sorry.

[WELLPOPHD]

In the begining reminds me "Someone Like You" by Adele hahaha

[whoisthatgirl345]

i was at a weeding and when we was getting to throw the rice ower the bride and groum i randomly starting singing the rice... RICE HAVE BEEN THROWNE OWER THERE HEAAADS!!!

[Rengels98]

I love this movie, oh, btw, if that guy she's singing about is that stupid to not be with her, he's not worth it. Fuck the rice.

[laione83]

Sorry what movie is this???!!!

[marsawgirl]

@laione83  Cadilac Record it's a good movie check it out.

[TheMGLgreat]

@laione83 Cadilac Records

[pishi974]

and some people think that Shakira , Gaga or Rihanna is better than her...SMH

[wigg1es]

Is anyone else suddenly craving rice?

[SaltyBubblegum23]

So raw, so much emotion! I could see the heartbreak in her eyes. Well done Beyonce well done.

[TeerEmiX19]

i love this song ugh she put it down:)

[mariely25251]

ever happened to me so I could do was cry

[TiiABooSKeeH]

Mannn I swear I don't care WHAT Beyonce sings, because I know she puts her all into every song she sings and she be KILLIN it. (= Some rice eh?

[25talissa]

[wifeofwayne]

[delisasweetlovin]

SHE KAN GET ANY SONG N BLOW GO GRL

[wqww1222]

this song is great

[TheConfidentChick]

She's not better than Etta James, she did a great job with the son but that's all. Etta's voice has more power.

[ggirb1]

[diva4life741]

[debarkers]

[JOHNNY1EL1TIGRE]

BEYONCE HAS A NICE VOICE BUT I DONT THINK SHE HAS THAT CRUNCHY ETTA JAMES VOICE THEY COULD OF GOTTEN SOMEONE ELSE BUT I GUESS THEY'LL USE ANYONE THATS POPULAR TO SELL A MOVIE

[KiyahRae]

LOVE THIS SONG & BEYONCE

[TseTse5993]

take 15!!!blew me away

lolz

[PeaceMonie7]

Damn...I felt that! smh...#TearsEveryTime

[CarsonMelvin]

ADELE COPY THE BEGINNING IN "SOMEONE LIKE YOU"

[razen15]

@CarsonMelvin haha i noticed that too when I first heard "Someone Like You'" at the very first two words I was like "COVERING ETTA JAMES? YEEESSTH!" but no. it wasn't.

[pishi974]

I don't like Beyoncé's version of "at last" but this one is awesome!! I prefer this one than the original (it's just my opinion ^_^'' don't be mad at me!)

[springteen11]

GRANDE BEYONCE ES UN PORTENTO DE VOZ ME PONE LOS PELOS DE PUNTA LE QUEDA MUY BIEN ESTE ESTILO DE LOS 50

[musiictube]

lol it's so funny seeing the music producers smoking their cigars and enjoying the music haha typical xD

[vaunjay]

Also, the words are, "for them life has just begun but mine IS AT AN END." not "but mine is ending."

[atemsdestinee93]

@vaunjay yea, "But mine is ending" sounds a WHOLE lot better, IMO. just sayin :)

[vaunjay]

She should stick to hip hop/r&b/pop songs. I close my eyes when I hear soulful singers and I FEEL them. She always seems forced TO ME when she TRIES to sing soul like it's not from a genuine place. She should have lip-synced, which is sad because all the guys were pretty spot on with their covers of the original, especially Eamonn Walker.

[mrscherrylovely]

I absolutely LOVE this movie

[missjakaylabeauty]

Im auditioning for my high school's production of Hairspray with this song! Thumbs up for luck!

[BondSamBond]

great Beyoncè, I don't understand why she sings her fucking music commercial pop! she's got a powerfull voice for the soul-blues!

[Mlczdk1]

Let Etta sing her song....This poser cant touch the original...I hate covers....should have had her lip sinc the original

[kelvinpyaeko]

@Mlczdk1 you opinion= nothing matters

[8400alicia]

better than etta james to me! so dislike this if u want quite frankly idgaf.. she did amzing on this song, etta james cant touch beyonce version :p

[ravenxcautionx]

Gosh DAmn amazing

[TheTanjag7]

@ravenxcautionx Yes!! <3

[pishi974]

I can't get enough of this song

[NationPam7]

Every time I hear her sing this I get chills....itsss sooo goood

[andreiDone]

tina turner did this song....powerful!!!!!

[ArchuletaObsessed]

this performance is so moving!

[snakesharp20]

Nobody can top Miss Etta, but damn, Beyonce is a REAL close second. I can feel it when she sings it.  WOW!

[anagirl014]

ii Luvv How She Sinqq's With Passion Andd Emotion in This Movie <3

[mrblueface07]

IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT THE TECHNIQUE IS CALLED WHEN SHE SINGS "WITH MY MAN" THAT REALLY THROATY SOUND, IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT ITS CALLED WHEN SHE SINGS THAT SO I CAN LEARN HOW TO DO IT. thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shaehaylee246]

yeah

:)



[xeverythingxisxokx]

why is she singing pop crap when she can sing like this?!

[LatinaDancer101]

@xeverythingxisxokx SO true.

[razen15]

@xeverythingxisxokx I know! haha she actually has a few soul songs and several amazing rhythm and blues songs, but they just don't get famous :/ you gotta search real hard to find em.

[BigBlackRod]

@xeverythingxisxokx; Cause folks don't pay for stuff like this anymore; they rather hear ringtone music...PEACE.

[AliLoudOut]

@xeverythingxisxokx Because only few people still appreciate this :(



[RRRicard0]

@xeverythingxisxokx exactly my thoughts! but if she'd make great soul songs like this, she wouldn't sell much i think, because most people like that popcrap.

[natanramah]

@xeverythingxisxokx

no one like this way of singing the way the love hiphop

[mj22595]

@xeverythingxisxokx uh, she's not..

[mikeyccarter77]

@xeverythingxisxokx because unfortunately the mass population enjoys music that has been dumbed down, and therefore it isn't as lucrative.

[SCOTTTHOMAS]

@xeverythingxisxokx

money

[evilwing2004]

love this song

[JanelleAndArielSing]

[SoCalDude05]

@bornuneek777 Better than the original??? HELL NAW!!! It was good but it was missing the wow factor and soul that Etta James did on her OWN song. I'm just saying.

[gaguol]

@bornuneek777 no it's not true

[ChloeCharleslovesyoo]

@bornuneek777 you don't have to sing that well to be better than etta...just saying

[sofineable]

[machetebones]

This gives me chills down my spine. :) Of course no one will be like Etta James, but in her own way Beyonce did wonderfully.

[GodSaveTheEmoz]

she sung this amazingly as beyonce, she did great, but in terms of her etta jame'iness, she could do better. nobody!! sings like etta james, no is as feisty, as foxy, nobody with as much sould and emotion. Etta is Etta, nobody can do Etta like Etta. but i aplaud the attempt

[Shekinna1]

i freaking love this soooong!!!

[badbitchmentality352]

The love of my life married another woman and util this day every time i see them together my heart throbs for his love. I've never met anyone who could fill the void in my heart as for as a relationship s concerned. Everytime i hear this song either by Etta James or Beyonce I think about him. Kent i'll always love you.

[TheMsBobbi]

RICE RICE HAS BEEN THROWN OVER THEIR HEADS! I luv that part! I mean Damn she has a powerfull voice!

[frodloader]
