  • Um..... i think i got the wrong summertime song! I thought she was covering the classic one or something...

  • @MissLexiStyles you mean the porgy and bess opera version. classic

  • We as black people know how to bring vibrancy and creativity to anything!! We salute Beyonce and Jay-Z!!

  • @blackndelicious

    Jews

    

  • @fishibfish Jealousy gets you NOWHERE fool!!

  • Given that 'Summertime' is one of the most famous songs in the American Songbook, it seems strange and unimaginative to name another song 'Summertime." Does she really think this song will have the influence, longevity or popularity of Gerwin's? Why invite the comparison? Tacky, really.

  • Yes, this is one of my favorite songs, too! OMG! I love the Ghosftace Killa, remix, too!

  • wow shes actually a good singer live

  • oops wrong summertime

  • @4l4ddin77 right!! i mean i like this but not the right one lol

    

  • @4l4ddin77 Definitely the wrong summertime D: D: D:

  • Yeah ; She Sound Real Good LIVE : )

  • Marcus Chavers

    MJC Entertainment

    Was Here

  • Beyonce is just porn (look at the amount of people who comment things like 'nice booty!, shake that thing gurl!, big boobs!). People go on about her voice as if she is Whitney Houston, she isn't that good... and 'touched my heart'?

    I thought that things which fit that phrase are emotional... not some tart shaking her bits about singing some mainstream crap.

    Sorry to sound rude but I am getting sick of people overrating beyonce... there's better out there.

  • @EnglishAB1 get a grip..

  • @EnglishAB1 Yeah, she is very overrated, but you're pretty much talking to a brick wall. Beyonce stans will just bash this comment. I like her, but not to the point where I don't realize that she's not as good as some people imagine her to be.

  • nice butt ;P

  • Great song and performance ~:) ∞

    Have a great summer everybody!!

    ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥~A

  • Do your thang gurl!!

  • @embryo813 that awkward moment when she was 21 on this tour

  • diculpa de donde es el concierto

  • When she doesn't have all that electronic stuff, she has a really fine voice and energy to her. Thanks for the post. I didn't realize how talented she was.

  • this was so refreshing to watch..it takes me back to good music and fun...

  • Oh, no the summertime I was looking for.

  • R.kelly steppin....

  • She has the absolute best VIBRATO!!!

  • You so sweet bee!!

  • I love this song

  • this is about jay, probably why its one of her favorites.

    shes always so amazing :]

  • Man i love this ~!

  • some people obviously are deaf

  • Horrific. Tripe. Repulsive. She's flat a lot of the time too

  • I was looking for the Gershwin masterpiece, and this shit comes up? The world has gone sour.

  • shes the best ;) No way!!

  • When I am down in the club dancing my ass off along Single Ladies or Sweet Dreams, the last thing i need in the club is soul. Beyonce is a versatile artist that mostly sings pop and hip-hop and contemporary r&b. If you want her soulful music , check on her cover of barbra streisand's the way we were or etta james' at last. Of course you are going to say the performances are not soulful. But at least Barbra Streisand and even Obama considered them wonderful.

  • First time im hearing this.. &I have THE CHILLS!!!!

  • @alexis101sexi Are you a skank whore?

  • @EvilBlackTruth Get a life! HAHAHA

    I LOVE BEYONCE'!!!!

  • this sounds like an old JoJo song. no offence to JoJo or anything but Beyonce man HOW OLD ARE YOU?

  • This song and the dance is so great I love it so much O.M.G .......and she´s is the greatest singer ever LOVE YOU B !!

  • entertainin' : includes a lot of different things one of them singing , all kind of singing and i believe that Beyonce is an amazin' entertainer and definitly a soul singer 'cause when she puts her heart in it , it's just amazin ! u have nothing on her whatever she sings she kills it . anyway that's just my opinion .

  • A? is de Beyonce, no Nina Simone song :D respecting the original song, and giving thanks to the original artist, this is a beautiful version of Beyonce. In every age there are great artists, q do not want to ask is that all are equal. And in my opinion, this version is much better original : D

  • hahaha i thought it was her version of summer time by bille holiday or ella fitzgerald :D like someone said wrong summertime hahahaha :)

  • this is sooooo NOT LIVE lol

  • @Manulik3377 Yes it is...I was there. I was the one she pointed at. She even sung an acapella!

  • wrong summertime, but dammmmnn bey can sing. lol

  • I love this song simply because of her drummer,Mr Gerald Hayward,This man is sick as hell on the set,He is one of mah favorite drummers,and since im a drummer i can relate...

  • I luv that song!!!!!

  • .. so FRESH BABy ...

  • ummm not the "summertime" I thought it was

  • Beyonce is not bi-racial. She is mostly african american. But most "blacks" have mixed lineage as well. Sooo all of these so called "black singers" are just as "mixed" as she is. Not that race matters anyway. And there are plenty of soulful singers out here, they just can't get a record deal like someone who sings pop music and sells sex. Nothing wrong with pop or sex, just stating facts. Gosh, some people are so ignorant, but hey what do you expect?

  • Of course she is a great singer, but why is she singing this tripe and why title it after one the great American songs? Boo.

  • Beyonce please go somewhere and sit down!!!!

  • She's great :)

  • I love Beyonceeeeeeeee and music will be nothing without u queen B

  • the new beyonce sucks!!! very cheap

  • man i was freakin out thinking she was goin to spoil the classic by billy stewart but its just another shallow pointless pop song

  • @Tongariroboardrider I'm not a fan however the lyrics are cool and romantic

  • Great song, One of my faves!

  • snap that ass

  • she´s a godess

  • her voice can be a lil annoying sometimes ,

  • @skoobie1776 Singing or speaking?

  • @tralala08x when she sings.....its like her and mary j blije can sing but i wouldnt be able to sit through out a whole album ide be very annoyed

  • One off the most beauty's ever!

  • @choukokobar your grammar is awful

  • @1992Sorcha1992 I know...sorry I am Dutch speaking. Can you?

  • @choukokobar Can i... what?

  • Pretty lady I'd say. I wanted "Summer time and the livin is easy, fish are jumpin and the cotton is high".

  • i miss this beyonce...her voice was like a breath of fresh air...now she's gone in a different direction..i hope she turns back towards this...so amazing

  • Me encanta cuando beyonce estaba asi, a cambiado desde entonces =/

  • I like this song!

  • @cleaningagent101 "Nothing's happened to black people, it's the music industry that's changed. So why have you specified "black people"?"

    Way back when, when the music industry was less evolved into the money-making machine that it is, everyone knew that black folks had the soul. That's why it was called "soul music." And that's why I wrote what I wrote. While whites have made good and soulful music, as you rightly point out, it's undeniable that American music has black African roots.

  • Comment removed

  • @cleaningagent101 "You're making it sound like every black artist should fit your idea of what a good black artist is."

    No, not my "idea," but rather the reality of what art is. If you're not moved, a given work of art has no artistic merit. Music such as this is entertaining fluff; it has no artistic value whatsoever. None. As I worte previously, the worst Nina Simone song puts anything this young woman has sung to shame. Why? Because Nina Simone's art has heart and soul.

  • @bapyou Well Beyonce, even though as I've already pointed out she isn't even black, does have soul. Listen to her Etta James covers. She can sing whatever she wants, but all the pop she puts out is the only thing that will generate real income in today's industry, reiterating my point that it's the industry not the people that has changed. And wanting money has nothing to do with the color of one's skin, contrary to your beliefs.

  • @bapyou if u so into nina simone then go listen to nina simone u dumb fukkin azzhole. who's stopping u? Oh I think I know the answer to this already. u don't give a fukk about nina simone u just wanna be complainin bout shyt. fukk u and fukk nina simone. Like I said if u all into nina why u over here listening to this u brain dead fukkin moron. go listen to the bytch u wanna hear and leave us the fukk alone.

  • @TopDog21stcentury My, aren't you the articulate one...

  • @TopDog21stcentury I could not have said it better so sick of haters that take the time to watch videos of artists they supposedly hate...smh

  • @TopDog21stcentury Haha yea..took the words from me

  • @bapyou Ok... not how you are ragging on black artists! what do you mean used to have soul?? Ummmm Have you ever heard of Jill Scott?? That woman ememplifies what it means to have soul!!! VV Brown, Corrine Bailey Rae, Amel Laurieux, Ledisi!! All women who saaaang with soul! Now i will agree that there are many african american artists out there who have no soul and do just sing for the money but there are many other artists out there who saaaang with passion and soul for the love of music.

  • @bapyou I FULLY AGREE WITH YOU. But there are soul singers out there that are COMPLETELY overshadowed by singers like Beyonce, Rihanna etc. Look up Fantasia (Esp. her latest album), Ledisi, Chrisette Michele and even Jazmine Sullivan.

  • @bapyou You are soooo righttt maaayynn that comment just made my dayyy

  • @bapyou well, i mean, to be fair, it's not just black people....the WHOLE industry is full of entertainers and lacks artists......katy perry, justin beiber, fucking lady gaga hahahaha.....ot's all about making money off of bubblegum songs that take little emotion to make so they get sold for $1.29 on itunes.....i know it's sad but i guess people don't want emotional ties to music.....just shit to get drunk and bump n grind and sing along to.....it's a real shame

  • @bapyou hey, this is a very cute song, if beyonce was singing the classic "summertime", then your comparison might have some validity, but this is her original song, and a good one at that. the lyrics are beautiful, reminds me of the first time i fell in love :) it has its own soul!

  • @batalvitrinidad "this is a very cute song"

    This is a song? It's some lyrics hung on a beat with two chords. There's no melody. It is total and forgettable fluff.

    This woman is a limited singer, and she has no personality whatsoever. For my money, you better offer something more than good looks and dancing, which is why this woman has never received a dime of my money.

  • @bapyou lol you are deluded... ok so beyonce has released some "meh" songs but calling her a "limited" singer. ok thats just delusional. its plain for anyone to see by her drive and success and pure talent she is an extraordinary singer. hear her singing halo live on the haiti show, or her song listen. Beyonce is the #1 female singer of this era and there isn't anyone else that comes close...

  • @blobland19899 you kidding me? "Beyonce is the #1 female singer of this era"?????????? She is so "meh" and nothing exciting about her. Adele is a force to be reckoned with, such passion and pure, PURE talent! Something which Beyonce is so sorely lacking! She destroyed "Dreamgirls" for me, but thank God for Jennifer Hudson!

  • @bapyou yet she made it just fine without a dime of ur money. so evidently u're not that important.

  • @bapyou Hey, its your own personal taste, not knocking you there. I just so happen to disagree. The song is about falling in love for the first time. Does it have a bit of a pop beat to it? YES, but there's nothing wrong with that. The song & the lyrics are beautiful as is. But still, your opinion. All I'm saying.

  • @bapyou Not every black person has to be "soul". That's the serious problem with today's society is that everything is stereotypical, and if it's not they'll get bashed. Adele is white singing soulful songs, should she be doing Pop, Techno, or Country songs?

  • @bapyou shut up u grunchy ass nigga.. lol

  • @bapyou I agree with you 100% and there is no worst nina simone song, not a single one.

  • @bapyou This song was released before 2010...

  • @bapyou what the hell are you even talking about? Do you even know? This was released in 2002. . .and obviously you're not black because you don't understand the type of music that we like and enjoy. Things change, stop living in the past. If you want to listen to Nina Simone, nothing is stopping you.

  • @bapyou who are you to judge anyones music i love this music me and my girl dance to it close all the time you need to stop hating on ppl making money and make some of your own

  • @bapyou Don't generalize "Black" people. Entertainers are diverse. Beyonce is a share of the crop! A beautiful voice! Someone who has contributed to all genres of music.

    We can always turn on Melanie Finoa, Whitney Houston, Mary J Blige, etc. for diversity. If you can't appreciate a matter of personal taste, turn off the video.

  • @rythmcity Eh, let's not exaggerate her impact on music. Saying that she has contributed to ALL genres of music is a bit of a stretch. Beyonce is strictly an R&B singer. She may have attempted to sing other genres in the past; but that does not necessarily make her a master of those genres. That being said, she is still a phenomenal singer.

  • @l0os3nup What world do you live in to say she is strictly R&B? Last time I checked she can and has been able to other genres and awared for it!

  • @l0os3nup She's briefly touched on pop and hip hop. Not a whole lot, so like you said she's no master, but her name is known in those genres, which is what the original poster meant I think, just that she's contributed to them

  • b

    you look great in that yellow frock

  • Yea Girl thats our Song ;)

    Kiss Ya'll---

  • la mia Bee :) che bella canzone!

  • Oops wrong summertime

  • @4l4ddin77 LOL thats what I said haha I was looking for the other one that leona lewis did her rendition of.

  • @4l4ddin77 lol I was also looking for the other one, this isn't too bad though.

  • @4l4ddin77 yeah, I was aiming for Gershwin too :D :D

  • @4l4ddin77 same here wanted the porgy and bess version! lol

  • DIS MY JAMMY JAM

  • show.... das antigas.

  • AW!

    I saw this link while listening to Billie Holiday's version of the Gershwin tune "Summertime" and I was really hoping that Beyonce did a version of it!

  • I love so!! dancing beyonce""

  • wrong song, but LIKE IT beautiful words

  • whooooops.

  • I like!!!

  • love the song from the first time i heard it..

  • Being a bass player this song would have sounded better if he turnd the Bass up and the trebble and or mid down

  • Jeez what a clean mix.

  • I love this part 2:19 <3

  • Finally see beyonce sing a song from the beginning to the end, all the verses, bridges and choruses, not one of those boring medleys of theirs' when she sings half verse from 8 songs and keeps saying "uohooh" all the time.

  • @veinivan7 :))

  • linda de mais bella bellissima anche gostosa e bonazzzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaaàààà

  • well obviously people this isn't anything like or near the original summertime. This is a whole different song she did with the same name. I swear u ppl are so dumb.

  • i love that song, it is full of good vibrations an it makes you stand up and dance

  • She's just such a good singer live and a real entertainer, love see her.

  • I came on here thinking it was the OTHER summertime preparing my speech on how she could never be like Janis or Billie, but seeing as how i´m wrong, i´ll just say that this is the Beyonce i wnjoy listening to, it´s a nice song

  • This is Summertime - one of my favourite songs. .....oh wait....

  • Foxy Lady!

  • Beyonce is a great singer but unluckily she's singing the wrong summertime.

  • amuh ela

  • amooo

  • Sublime was even faithful to the lyrics, what is this Beyonce?

  • Al of you people are BEYOND stupid!

    This song is beautiful and recounts the story of her budding relationship with her husband!!!!

    Nobody ever told any of you IDIOTS that this was the same "summertime" as sung by Billie Holiday or Fantasia!!!

    You just assumed that!

    ugh,

    get over yourselves.... SERIOUSLY.

  • ....and the living is easy...

  • yall all? wrong beyonce was wearing stuff like this way before lady gaga even came out She looks awesome however her created tunes from

    RnBBeyonceReciveSong(.)tk

    are worth getting

  • i like

  • u kno she cant do the real version.... she would be disrespectin ella

  • @BigDawg515 She did a small part of Ella's It Don't Mean a Thing (If You Ain't Got That Swing) and did a great job at scatting. My dad who is a huge Jazz fan even said she did it justice and has the skills and voice to be a jazz singer.

  • What is this shit? Not what I was expecting.

  • I love this song

  • I love it.

  • I thought wad the "Opera". but, I founded this shit (Compared to the opera). u_u
