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.
On 4th September we will all watch “Single Ladies” in honor of her 30th birthday. Let’s give her the best birthday present ever: The highest viewed video on YouTube!! Copy and paste to all of Beyoncé’s videos and all music videos let’s get this noticed quickly
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 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.
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.
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.
@bapyou "You better offer something more than good looks and dancing,"
You must've not heard or seen any of her new material. Beyonce has evolved as an artist, and I can see you're still stuck in 2004 with this "Summertime" song.
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
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...
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?
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
What's happened black people? You use to have soul. Now your "artists" are just entertainers. This is complete and forgettable fluff. Sell me something else.
But I guess you're making money. And that is all you care about in 2010: Money.
On the other hand, soul is not something you can buy. Or sell.
Compare this fluff to the worst Nine Simone song (if there is such a thing as a "worst" Nina Simone song). Then get back to me.
@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.
@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.
@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 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!
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 "You better offer something more than good looks and dancing,"
You must've not heard or seen any of her new material. Beyonce has evolved as an artist, and I can see your still stuck in 2004 with this "Summertime" song.
@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 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 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 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
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!
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.
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 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
@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.

@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 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

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!

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.

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.

@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.
