  • I don't like Jennifer on this song it doesn't fit her voice altho i love Jennifer but I REALLY LOVE BEYONCE! I would prefer to hear her any day and si would buy her cd way before i buy jennifer and i can always count on a show with beyonce performance wise jennifer performance wise is not on Beyonce Level nor vocally Beyonce has more control Jennifer's voice is too big for her she needs to control once she does she will be AWESOME not sayin she isn't now but she would be much bettet! LOVE THEM!!

  • Both of these women are talented and beautiful. B does do a lot of runs, but the girl can sing. Jennifer Hudson naturally has a more powerful voice, she can't help it. This is a nice clip though.

  • Beyonce uses a lot fo virbato while singing. Her voice is not full enough to sing full out. It was Beyonce' song and Jennifer didn't want to show her up. Jen held back. Beyonce does does too much screaming trying to sound powerful. She's a trained singer.

  • Beyonce is pushing too hard, but i'd prefer her voice. she just has a warmer voice.

    just my opinion. =)

  • I dunno

    I like Jen Hudson but still in this song, Beyonce is the best person to represent Listen..

    her sound is powerful yet soft and yes, Jen is too overpowerful..but her song in spotlight is just SPECIALLY tailored for her

    Love U both

  • beyonce is so pretty.

  • U are so stupid...Beyonce is not the better singer...she´s just different...

  • Jennifer Hudson and Beyonce' Knowles, they are BOTH extremely beautiful and talented artist!! I don't think they can be Categorized, better comparison, Jennifer & Patti LaBelle Beyonce & Tina Turner Fantasia & Aretha Franklin Alisha & Lena Horne Chrisette Michelle & Gladys Knight?!

  • what are you talkin about?.... those comparisons are all jacked up.

  • beyonce is the better singer, jennifer hudson is the better actress

  • Why compare the two. They both are great but at times Jennifer is toooooo over powering.

  • lov beyonce dress!

  • does anyone know where i can find the whole of this performance with all of the dreamgirls?

  • OMG Beyonce's voice does not compare to voice J HUD has been BLESSED with !

  • Ya Jennifer's voice is distinct and has more expression n depth..But Beyonce is gorgeous.I'm torn.

  • Rating them on which artist is better is dumb.....I like both Jennifer and Beyonce. They both have qualities that make them GREAT singers. Beyonce is more diana ross...Upbeat and sometimes r&b/pop where as Jennifer is more like soulful...I cant think of her name that's like that too....but yeah. And for those who dont like one or the other....piss on you cause they have plenty fans that think otherwise to their abilities.....

  • Beyonce hair and voice is beautiful

  • They both can sing very well and I like em both. So there!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • People don't understand that beyonce can hit every and any range.

    No screaming involved. She doesn't have the deep voice Hudson does, but she can hit far more ranges then she can

  • No hudsons range is stretches farther than Beyonces ever could.

  • When have you ever heard Hudson sound like anyone other than Hudson? I can name countless times i heard beyonce sing and had to actually ask who was singing.

    It's because she's so versatile.

    Jennifer will always sound like Jennifer. She can sing, she can sing beautifully. Wether or not she sings better is preference.

    I personally like Leela James voice over everyone, and think Jennifers voice is better than B's.. it's preference.. but i wont be dumb and say she has better ranges than Beyonce

  • Actually, their ranges are similar. Except when Jenn sings lower notes, it's fuller. And I don't know what Beyonce YOU have heard, but her voice is distinct as well. If I listen to Beyonce, I'll automatically know it's her because no matter what she is singing, her depth is thin (in a good way... that's just her tone). They both are great singers but in two different categories. The way I see it, no one is better than the other.

  • Every artist has a distinctive voice and style, B is no exception. But there are several songs B has done where you have to actually listen in to figure out who's singing the song.

    That's part of her versatility, one I don't think Jennifer has. I love Hudsons voice, and personally prefer the sound of her voice over B's.

    But I'd be out of my mind to say that she is as versatile, diverse, or anywhere near the performer B is.

    I'd rather listen to Leela James over anyone, though.

  • Great video *-*

  • What surprises me is how people keep on saying Beyoncé screamed the second part of this part just to keep up with jennifer. I say people, have you ever heard the recorded version of this song? In this performance bee is doing nothing but the things she does on the recorded version, and everytime she sings this song live. The end of this song, from the bridge on MUST be sung desperately and loud.

  • If there's someone who's doing too much just to show her power,that's jennifer, who's screaming at the top of her lungs waayyy before the songs requires.

  • all beyonce haters if u hate her so much why are you even watching this vdeo.fuck off

  • I love Beyonce and I love Jennifer too. Perhaps the reason they are watching the video is because they like Jennifer and not Beyonce and just want to watch it because Jennifer is in it?

    I mean I don't really like take that but when Leona Lewis sang with them I watched it just to see what it sounded like.

  • she must of been nervous!! haha

  • you haters need to go get fucked..u dumb fucking ugly mother fukahs...beyonce would kick your ass's u fukn stupid ass hoes!!

  • What's the need in expressin urself like that? It's a video stop taking it so seriously.

  • God, Beyonce is so fucking horrible at singing ballads.

    All that faux-growling isn't helping you sound soulful. Just...stop.

  • you go stand there and do it better.

    o wait you cant.

  • I'm not a singer, sweetie, and don't claim to be. Beyonce does, so she's open to criticism.

  • wow that was good

  • oh my days that was amazin, gave me goosebumps1

  • From 1:07 to the end Beyonce just destroys this song. You can feel every ounce of emotion in her. Its incredible.

  • What a load of shouty show-off vocal acrobatics!

  • no fim é 'mas vou terminar' nao qeu 'nao consigo terminar'

  • BEYONCE is THE VOICE , not Whitney.

  • whitney houston would sing circles around this ho

  • Thank you so much, I'v been sick and I needed that laugh!

  • ok now i love beyonce more than most but whiney paved the way for beyonce...lets be real

  • Lmao, what? Beyonce's thin ass voice could never be considered "the voice"

  • beyonce killed i love her......

  • OK, beyonce and Jennifer has two totally different voices, to me Jennifer can sing, but she needs to stop hollering thru every song, everybody know you can holla, but damn, it gets irritating, beyonce knows her role and she knows when to go and when to stop...thats why she's more known and successful!!!

  • 1:47 best part

  • In my opinion, Beyonce has more unique, distinguished, clear and equal timbre.Her timbre is the same form the bottom note to the high, unlike J.Hudson the seem to shout all the time, besides, she does not have lower notes, very airy, no timbre at all, and she shout form medium to high.Singing is not only expeling a lot of air, making the sound strong, singing is convey the sentiment like B does.

  • so true beyonce killed jen in this she showed that she was restraining in the film but shes proving when it comes to life shes the one withe THE VOICE not jen

  • Whitney Houston is THE VOICE, not Beyonce.

  • whitney was only THE VOICE til mariah came out and now shes a sack of crack, whitneys voice is one dimensional and overrated mariahs voice killed her. what i meant anyway was that out of these to beyonce is the one with the better voice jen is shrill and shrieky

  • Sorry, but Mariah herself said Whitney has a more powerful and clearer voice than she does. The only thing Mariah has over Whitney is range. Whitney has power, soul, emotion, improvisation, diciton, lyric phrasing, agility, flexiibility, versatility, clarity and purity over Mariah, not to mention beauty of tone.

  • dam you guys are shit beyonce sucks with all that yelling and jen sings the song better than beyonce and is better than beyonce stop comparing the fabulous jen bytch

  • Both have sung this song beautifully in their own ways. One can still appreciate different version of the same song, for as long as both as delivered fantastically....like in this case. Yeah?

  • beyonce blew jen out of the water i dont know what the fuss is about jens voice its horribly shaky her vibrato is not controlled at all her tone is very shrieky and thin she just has alot of loudness not power beyonce has more power and control and range her voice has raw soulful powerful its not shrieky and harsh like jhud, beyonce can go from soft to powerful instantly and she has a fuller more beautiful tone and she can hold a note alot longer that jhud whoever said that,

  • Man i agree with your comments about Jens voice although i find her improving a lot tbh as time goes by. But don't you get that this is the whole point? This is a woman telling the man she has spent so much with that she is moving on, finding her own way, starting again. Its sad, uncertain, perhaps excited too, all these emotions get a plus from all the flaws you pointed out in Jens voice. It might not be perfect but its real. Your voice will be shaky and shrieky when faced with this situation.

  • damn B held her own

  • i think that beyonce is a great singer. 2 me the song sound better when beyonce sang the song. i like how jennifer hudson sing to it's just seem that jennifer had to much force when she sang the song. but love them both

  • I still don't see how this song lost at the oscars!

  • the both did a great job what a wonderful performance from BOTH OF THEM everybody please stop with the comparisons damn give the ladies a break

  • Jennifers voice to me - sounds noisy sometimes - as in it verges on screaming - and i dont think screaming equals singing - i think it massively comprises the very idea of singing at times - she has a profound talent - she is excellent - but Bs texture and quality of voice - in my opinion is superior in this performance and much more so in her Operah performance of this song

  • well at least beyonce tried. lets gie her some credit for trying!! lol

  • i think beyonce she sounds great, shes not straining but putting emotion into this song. EVERYONE STOP COMPARING THEM! JEN HAS THE POWER AND LUNGS AND BEYONCE HAS MORE RANGE AND CONTROL

  • beyonce trying to sound like jennifer and  she she only 4mons.prenet.

  • Beyonce goes flat a few times trying to find the high notes. She has her own style but she just does not have the lung capacity for songs like this. She is straining way too much. She should stick to the mid range pope/r'n'b she has perfected.

  • Jennifer out power miss Knowls, but both were good..

  • iim sorry but jenifer hudson is much more of a better singer but jenifers voice wasnt meant 4 this song

  • jennifer hudsen has a strong voice no doubt but at times her voice could be really irritating especially when she SCREAMS too loud. whereas fo Beyonce, she has a strong yet relaxed feminine voice and who says jennifer hudsun could eat beyonce alive? beyonce is beyonce and she sang HER own song better than anyone else! booyaa!

  • Jennifer Hudson of course... that's why she was brought out when it is the hard part already... because SHE CAN EAT BEYONCE ALIVE...

  • beyonce eats jennifer hudson and breaks jenn's fat body so shut up hater beyonce is the queen

  • I AGREE!!!!

  • What happened to the full Dreamgirls performance at the Oscars? All the vids were removed.

  • i like jennifer voice better because it is more powerful but she can't control the tone of her voice. I would say Beyoance performed better.

  • they are really good singer. but beyonce has a soft voice, now matter how hard she try she will always have a that soft voice. but jennifer has that powerful voice that is like rough but in a good way. plus, she has better range. but there both good siger

    love them both

    i wonder if it true that beyonce pregnant?

    lol

  • ther fit well 2 getda dey both my idols but i think jen has a more powerfull voice and be is just 2 good and has that nice tone luv dem

  • Their voices fit so well together, jen has a very powerful voice and beyoncé has the tehcnic, amazing.

    Bee luv u

  • I can't say which of those voices are better 'cause they are very diffent... but beyonce and jennifer are goooood to sing, and goooood to act too!!

  • ur very WRONG!!!!! that song is great!

  • if u had a voice like jen u wuld want 2 show it off and yell and scream also i luv u jen jen

  • he over does it to much at the end

  • i think both are great but i do think that after jennifer sang beyonce tried to make her voice more powerful like jennifer when she should have just kept it the way she was singing it because while jennifer has a powerful voice she doesnt have as much control over hers as beyonce does

  • weird at 1:47 if you close you eyes you imagine jennifer instead of B b/c she dosent sing like that in the recording

  • you are sooo right!!!

  • i know right

  • WOW pharrell 19...someone's a huge fan of beyonce'...... it's all good though. Although I don't really understand why the two of them must be compared. They are both very talented and beautiful young ladies trying to do their thing. I can respect that....to compare minimizes what they stand for.

  • im sorry but jennifer voice is just horrible. like someone said she can't control it. yall are hate on Beyoncé because yall are ugly people and she's sexy with a hot body and face, so yall prefer the big ugly mess. beyoncé is the best female singer. no one can beat her. no one.

  • you crazy ass hell to say that jennifers voice is horrible, beyonce is so over rated and Jennifer is just the person to prove that. Jenny won the oscar not B( who has been in a few movies ans still dosn't have one), Jenny had all the press talk and the buzz not B, dont get me wrong B is a bad ass singer to but their is finally someone better and her name is Jennifer Hudson!!!

  • dont even

    jennifer has a much more powerful untrained voice than Beyonce

    beyonce cant hit and hold alot of the notes jennifer can

  • yea ur a dumb ass beyonce can du but so much with her small voice but u no wat jennifer sounds that way because she has so much range and she likes 2 show her never ending capabilities

  • Maybe someday Syesha will do this with Beyonce. I'm not sure anyone can beat Syesha's version IMO.

  • Great performance... =)

    (I'm more than what!CHA!.. you made of me...)

  • pls Jennifer voice is powerful but she cant control it..Beyonce shitted all over her at the Oscars

  • Let me get some of the shit you smokin, its making you delirious.LoL

  • Soulful sistas!!!

  • damn. that was powerful

  • Wow, this is an epic performance, for both people.

  • Jennifer Hudson sings so effortlesly, such a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. A woman of size like me. Beyonce sounded painfully strained.

  • I agree, following someone like Jennifer can be tough. You can tell she gave her all, but she needs some more power for this song. When Beyonce sings in a lower register, she exudes richness and power. In the upper register, she voice gets thinner, ya know? But considering the odds, she did well. J Hud killed it though.

  • beyonce looked beautiful! i thought jennifer did not do very good. the oscar crowd didn't give bey enough appluase. they are too stiff.

  • Good!

  • So much power, very beautiful voices, luv it :D

  • Beyoncé wilt Jennifer Hudson nadoen.. Ze schreeuwt ook enzo.. Want zo zingt ze listen niet echt.. Maar ookal wilt ze Jennifer nadoen het lukt der toch niet..

  • Both of these sistas are Fantabolous. It is a draw!!! They sound better than me.

  • Beyonce izza beast!!but i would have tew say that Jennifer has more of an impact,n Beyonce gives me the chills..lol

  • love em both

  • one word.BEYONCE IS AMAZING!!!

  • People are really crazy!!! Beyonce does not have a disney voice! She has a strong powerful voice!!!!

  • I don't think Beyonce's voice is disney pop. She owned the end of this song.

  • ow shocks .. great

  • Both these heifers can sang, but I would have loved to have heard J-Hud sing "Listen" by herself; her range is just SPECTACULAR! Bee held her own though.

  • BEYONCE!!!!! WOW AMAZING!!

  • bee is the shit !!! :)

  • amaizing performance

  • i dont care b sounds better singin it she has a soft deepish voice jen has a deep but lovely voice love them both but i a huge b fan so whatever they both fckin rock stop comparing b she always gonna win.been in the game long ass time give them BOTH props

  • They are amazing, but as the movie and this performance shows Jennifer Hudson has more power in her voice, but the image makes Beyonce a Diva. Beyonce is great. Jennifer is better.

  • Yes JHud has more power but not a lot of control and she has a tendency to oversing simple songs that doesnt need all that emotion to sing the song. Not taking anything from JHud her new single is my JAM!!

  • theyre both awesome!! but i like beyonce much better!!!

  • omg at 1:06 theres amazing harmony.

  • Beyonce is awesome and oso same goes to Jennifer Hudson!! =)

  • wow

  • Look how B is looking at Jen...She never stood a chance LOL!!! Stole thee show like she stole that movie!! And commercial= no depth. Broadway is the best test. Singing a song written for you is easy singing a song that was sung by another powerhouse is talent!!! Please respect jenn!!

  • I wanna hear jhud sing this song by herself does anybody know where i can just hear her sang this song

  • J.Hud has the voice but no control. something that she needs to work on. beyonce didnt over sing. She was singing the song with emotion. Thats what every singer does. She is angry so of course she is going to sing loud with all the grunts. "Listen" to the words in the song. I am sure yall would sing the same way. STOP ALL THE HATING

  • beyonce is way better

  • NOOOO j'z is much stronger

  • wow jennifer outblew beyonce, i love jennifer's talent.. beyonce was stretching and screeching, how did she become a singer?

  • Jennifer Hudson voice isn't good for anything except stage singing - she comes on too strong. I'm not sure if she does it on purpose. But she can't control her voice to be a commercial singer.

  • omg beyonce proper over sang on this

    if u listen 2 da 1 she done on her own at the orpha show she sounded better

    but good performence from both tho

    i love jennifer

  • Let's assume they rehearsed. Someone should have told Beyonce, don't you ever sing with Jennifer live.

    #1 Beyonce cannot sing solo well, remember she came from a group that harmonized that is why when she is on tour she sings half naked and in big production numbers.

  • bee can sing the stars from the heaven dont even say she cant sing

  • damskoo, what you been drinking?

  • mhh lil but bacardi

  • LoL, you funny!

  • amen!!

  • beyonce was pissed here lol

    shasha and jhud

  • OMFG iiM SO FUCKiiNq JELOUS DEY GOT NiiCE ASS VOiiCES

  • What do y'all mean she oversung?! She did all the grunts that are in the original song... duh!

  • beyonce nailed it as she does in every performance everytime! she sang from her soul here! both of them r brilliant and carnt fault either!

  • beyonce is a great singer but she oversang here because she was threatened by jenifer.well i would be too,jenifer is awesome and better than beyonce.and jen is mos def not ugly.shes cute,just cuz beyonce is lightskin dont make her better.

  • you are so right! lol i like em both but beyonce did oversing....all of those grunts and growls were really not necessary...i mean its the oscars not soul train...but still like i said i like em both so no hating here!

  • Beyonce didnt oversing...JHud came in to strong, which wasnt correct for the part of the song that she came in on...So Beyonce had to compensate for the full energy througout teh song.Again proves JHud doesnt have control nor technique..She sings the same on everything..And Its Jennifer with two n's.. not one.Y would Beyonce be threatened..Shes been on this stage before many times. More accolades that JHud..But to each his own..Overall great performance from both outstanding women..

  • Beyonce hasnt got so rich tone in her voice, but her singing technique is so good that she hides it perfectly. I would feel terrified to sing with a power house like Jennifer, but Bee doesent lose at her a bit. She oversung here, but still it was great, her vibrato is perfect and she has a total control of it too. And the most amazing thing about her is that I have NEVER heard her sing out of tune,not once,and Ive watched hundreds of Bee live videos, ha ha, she is a passionate perfectionist..

  • Beyonce didnt oversing...JHud came in to strong, which wasnt correct for the part of the song that she came in on...So Beyonce had to compensate for the full energy througout teh song.Again proves JHud doesnt have control nor technique..She sings the same on everything..

  • Jennifer haves a very, very strong voice.

  • Damn shes good. Both of them are... Jennifer is really really gifted, she just has to practise a little more and she'll become the next Bee. Beyoncé cannot get any better. She is perfect already. :DDDD

  • beyonce is amazing

  • im sticking to beyonce! i love her shes amazing beautifull and her voice is so diffirent! jinefer is ugly..

  • what language is the subtitles in? Jen. Hudson has a deeper voice, but Beyonce is more versatile, she can have a deep voice or not. But i don't know i like beyonce better. her voice just seems real pretty. check out r channel! We're trying 2 get 2 1,000 channel views! -PIP

  • I think they are in Portuguese.

  • get it bee!!

  • j.hud is way better than beyonce.....b wish she could sing like j.hud but they r both good at wat they do

  • jenifer just needs to get control of her voice

  • OMG! they're absolutely amazing!

  • jen has got one huge voice... bloody amazing!!

  • Jennifer is amazing.

  • my ears are gurt because of jeniffers voice!!!!!!....ouch!!!!!

  • i love how she throws her head back at 1:39. such a passionnate gesture.

  • LOL...Beyonce looked and sounded pissed in this one...but I love pissed, especially when it is coupled by real pure talent.

  • no shanise0490 hudson vocie is amazing but she doesnt have range like b her vocie is too soul it wont cross over.

  • jennifer is a great singer but she's loud and annoying .I am sorry and all jennifer fans but it's only time before ya'll hear it too. BEYONCE ROCKS

  • Even though Jeniffers voice is very powerfull and loud, Beyonce has a more beautifull voice.. and in my opinion, its nicer to listen to rather than Jeniffers. But there both very good :)

  • beyonce sound like she was tryin so hard 2 beat jennifer hudson but it didnt happen beyonce's a great singer but her runs be killin me

  • where's the whole dreamgirls number? i cant find it here in you tube

  • beyonce is awsom god damit !!

  • Everyone needs to except these two beautiful and talented black woman for who they are. They both have AMAZING voices just different styles.
