Beyonce "I'd Rather Be With You"

[939boy]

Bey made this song her own. But itll never beat bootsy aka bootszilla!!!

[killer43ful]

SHE STOLE THIS SONG FROM BOOTSY COLLINS "I'D RATHER BE WITH YOU"

GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE

[Dbubblewrap]

[monaGEK]

@Dbubblewrap Adina Howard - Freak Like Me

[khender248]

[Lsa512]

FIRE

[RomanRoyale]

Its funny how people say "ohh i miss this Beyonce" have you NOT listened to her last album?IT RHYTHM AND BLUES TO THE BONE shut it up

[sidman1408]

this is nice n all but she took the funk out of it, Bootsy Collins still has it over this version

[colemantweet]

I Lovee This Songg

[omisarafina]

Yes i am listening to this in 2011.

No I'm not going to press any number on my keyboard.

No I'm not going to thumbs up your comment.

No i don't care what's wrong with 72 people

No i don't care about you 'raping' a button

No i was not sent here by someone else

Music is here to be listened and appreciated. Unfortunately there are people out there who say the same old shit over and over again. Spread this everywhere and hope that the idiots will SHUT UP

[45wavy]

she also sampled Tyrone Davis.

[ThatGirlTita]

This iz a BANGER!

[mreclectic700]

When I listen to "Rather Die Young" I think of this song...

[CherriDropsz]

I never knew this song was SO sexual O.O

[americangangster86]

Im not a beyonce fan but this aight!

[traiigeetv]

her best song in my opinion....the vocals at the end, come on now

[msmillievanili]

@traiigeetv I agree this song, the song Yes, and her song to her daddy.

[Ravenite1]

This version DOES have the soul of the orig. Still like boosty's better though.

[scourge3]

It lacks the the head nod feel of Bootsy's version, i just did not like the sample of strawberry letter 23.

[traiigeetv]

this is why when they say beyonce can't sing,, i direct them to this song...never heard powerful singin on a track like this, wasn't ashamed as a guy to buy that dangerously in love album....its up there with confessions,futuresex/lovesoun­ds,damita jo,voyage to india, etc etc etc

[Lovinglee226]

@traiigeetv well said...

[BHDread]

it's a vamp..not a sample.....

[funktron4]

Stop hating on her just because she's beautiful and successful/popular---I'm a P.Funk fan from back in the 70s---I like Bootsy's "I'd Rather Be With You" better than this, but the fact that she's covering it her way is enough for me. What a talent.

[Mamawiza]

i was just listening to the old version of this song, not bad, but Beyonce mastered it for the ladies!!! she rocked it!!!

[n1nar0ss]

Play this for your man and he eat you for breakfast lunch dinner and dessert! B breaks it down foreal....looooove this one still!

[moshimoshi234]

I LIKE THIS ONE AND BOSSIE COLLINS !!!:)

[EazyeWynna]

@moshimoshi234 dont forget Eazy E

[Nia9809]

lord she has sex with her voice

[camking88]

All y'all know that if Beyonce was an unkown artist you would all love this. I honestly believe that the reason most people are saying that they don't like this is because it is Beyonce singing it. It's like the more successful the artist is, the more people like to "hate" (and I hate using that word, but hey). I know there are some people who really don't like it for valid reasons, but I think for most people it is the artist singing the song, not the way the song is being sung.

[heffyhoof]

@camking88 I think it's not how successful the artist is, it's more or less how mainstream someone perceives that the artist is. Also some people are retarded enough to think that you can't like multiple versions of a song. Anyways, excellent version of the song, though not as good as the original.

[tnlance1]

Beyonce, Oh honey, you did a good job with this song, but this "Old Man' comes from the 70's and Bootsy did it better. Some of older folk just are stuck "back in da day", but I do listen to today's music, and not stay stuck in the past. Good Job Girl!

[FUCKULUKEFITZGERALD]

i fucks with this

[dedjr21]

This sucks... Check Leela James version!!!

[AeroAstro]

I'm not a fan of Girls or Single Ladies - but this is the stuff right here, aw yeah.

[Thug9030]

Some reason I can't take my finger off repeat... ;-)

[DionDJVJ]

man i miss this album

she sound so grown in that one

yet she was younger lool

love the r&b vibe on the cd

[123alaphabet]

Beyonce must own the most lace wigs in the world.

[Crazycoasterkid21]

Beyonce' is a great singer...I think her venturing into pop, and experimenting with different styles on her other albums helped her grow & develop as an artist..Her voice has gotten better with each new venture..if you've listened to 4 she's worked her way back to R&B..some of her tracks sound a little more poppy, but it's very much an R&B album..

[AyoooIndia]

I miss the old Beyonce, not the crazy pop star :/

[krisj827]

I miss Bey sing straight RnB.

[leone2tube]

i wonder why she even covered this.

coz she must have really disliked the original.

she fucked up bootsy's baby!

thumbs down when you agree with me.

[1994cecepooh]

@leone2tube ou noticed no one disliked but, you so step.

[ILLFAM2101]

XOXO.~C.C.C.

[ladiredbone92]

i like this better than some of the shit she has came out with .. like... Girls. smh

[juaniibabii]

Love this song!!!

[letekro]

No surprise that this mess of an artist ruined this classic. I'm not buying the faux streetisms, the inappropriate vocal extensions at all the wrong times, and the wholly unpleasant timbre of her voice. Talented for sure, but she is missing something even more important--good taste.

[sacheeeese]

@letekro Bro . . . shut it.

[birchp]

Wow, two of my favorite songs kinda ruined now..

[sherribabylicious]

Sang it Bey!! Wish my man was actin right!

[isaiah012309]

i rather be with him missin u daddy

[rocknrollporn]

this sucks

if your gunna cover a song by bootsy do it right.

[CeazeThaBeast]

my gawwd Beyonce is Sexy

[Mikaelbass]

I can dig it, just bothers me that most people wouldn't know where the song came from.

[Kriplang]

sexy!

[thekaseywilliams]

fuk mint song eh :)

[keytone62]

COLD, COLD, C O L D B L O O D E D version of these two major hits, Strawberry letter 22 and I rather be with you. And y'all voted Jennifer Lopez as the most beautiful girl in the world! NO! Shes #2 Y'all trippin, it's always been beyonce, ALWAYS dudes! She's the total package. Face, body, vocals all just on hit! and if ya don't know, now ya know! Baby B A B Y!

[glamour205]

@keytone62 fuck yea!

[rapsody]

This is really good vocally.. but it lacks the funky bassline that made the original so great.

[LOSTANGEL790]

i like her voice its nice ...

[MzSWAGG007]

yes..da best...TX stand up

[kathleend50]

R&B Bey over Pop Bey (Thumbs up) ;)

[dfbvfgb]

@kathleend50 dum ass top comment there neva was a pop bey bitch do u have album 4 must not

[penthousep23]

@kathleend50 HELL YEA



[cttnote1974]

i miss this beyonce :(

[Doaking]

garbage

[NeoNitty]

Bootsy Shuggie and the brothers johnson would all feel this..sometimes,atleast me,as a man,all I want to hear to hear is the tenderness of a woman's voice singing to me...B killed this right here I f**ks wit it =D

[itsAVbabyTV]

Eazy E did a better cover. The original goes too hard for words tho so just sing along.

[Cocoabeing]

She does a decent cover. Screw you newbies who didn't groove to the original.

[BARRYBADASS03]

I,M FUCK TO THIS REAL SOON SEXY GURL OR NUNE 

[djsweethots]

Boo this woman....BOO THIS WOMAN

[legalbeagle26]

You know what they say "even white boy's gotta shout!"

[Jeffery4763]

Tyrone Davis "Ain't nothing I can do", Bootsy Collins "I'd rather be with you", Brothers Johnson "Strawberry Letter 23".....Something taken from each one of these songs....Scream their names too.

[goodgooglegoo]

@Jeffery4763 - I agree .. they ripped off from every body great ....

[MrTime2smash]

Wow you should do a song with @LatoiyaWilliams I think you girls are two of the best singers in R&B Hands down!!! Latoiya has done work with Jay-Z

[cs2cl]

love it

[MzVenusFlyyTrap]

Bey didn't just sample Bootsy Collins' "I'd Rather Be with You", but she also sampled The Brothers Johnson's "Strawberry Letter 23" Two great mashups w/ her own Beyonce flavor added to it! Nice!

[JSUalum09]

@MzVenusFlyyTrap OMG THANK YOU for your post!!! I had Strawberry Letter 23 in my head for 2 weeks and I didn't know who sang it or the name of it but i remembered Beyonce' patterened her vocals after theirs on this song so i just hit this up hoping for a miracle and you delivered one for me!!!! Thank YOU!!!

[LadyDior77]

@MzVenusFlyyTrap ..Not Just Those. She Also Sampled Tyrone Davis ''Aint Nothing I Can Do'', For This Song. Has The Same Start.

[markusoberleitner]

@MzVenusFlyyTrap

i'm shure beyonce did that!

[ferbieboi]

@Jsamine89 and you need to get up off my dick! what i said needed to be said! thanks for the paragraph though! =)

[Jsamine89]

@ferbieboi man i would get on here and dogg the fuck out of you for saying so ignorant ass shit like that to me but I'm not into internet gangstering I'm grown now, so I'll behave like it. you just have a bless life.

[wolftmfg]

Random

[ferbieboi]

stupid bitches! beyonce only used the hook! the song is not the same stfu! always lookin for a reason to hate! alot of ya'll didnt even know who the hell a bootsey was until you heard this song from bey! pay homage haters!

[Jsamine89]

@ferbieboi You really do need to calm it down its never that serious and im one of the ppl who did hear the original song before anybody ever heard of beyonce and I'm only 21. And ppl have their opinion, that doesn't make it wrong or right so way are you mad about it. As long as you like it, its doesn't really matter what other ppl think.

[28dsc2]

@Jsamine89  thank you tell em

[taylamaker]

what makes a woman beautiful or pleasing to the eye? and maybe im brainwashed by what makes a woman beautiful but she makes my skin crawl with her physique and beautiful bone structure? im in a loving relationship but if Beyonce came on to me id probably forget i have a loving woman at home!

[Jsamine89]

@taylamaker then that means your not really in love if thats all it takes to get your attention.

[thebriana6040]

just saying she gud but not butter den reg. Bootsy Collins more soul but I still heart beyonce

[tasha1985]

feeling it.

[nicolemcclish]

ok i didnt like but it grew on me. im a fan.

[BamBam400009]

ooh she looks just like her mother @1:12

[GlowStreet31]

she didnt do bad.to tell the truth its a very good song, old school...

[mista7077]

i'm not hatin' on Beyonce I liked it not better than the orig but i liked it.  People hate on Beyonce a lot, but I even think she sung at last by Etta James Better than Etta James.

[mista7077]

I'm not hatin' on Beyonce I liked it not better than the orig but i liked it. People hate on Beyonce a lot, but I even think she sung at last by Etta James Better than Etta James.

[Thomas65267]

ehhhh not being a hater to beyonce but i like the classics better srry old school still owns not matter what

[legalbeagle26]

Gorgeous black women like Beyonce is one reason why I could never be a racist. (Other than the fact that racism is retarded)

[trinigirl21sq]

I listened to the classic and I liked it. But Beyonce sang it better. Idc what you haters say.

[AyatollahWatts]

Bootsy, Shuggie Otis and Brothers Johnson are probably scratching their heads right now.

[MrRedds34]

Decent remake....They should do a remixx 2gether wit Jay Z approval of course...Lol

[joebstarsurfer]

Does she say i want to cum all over you lol

[ant225zel]

Very talented young woman she is. Jay-z please take care of that beautiful blk queen. She also is an excellent actress as well.

[fsumpter]

I like this. Although I still groove to the original, it is a nice remake.

[kid1207]

i like the origanol but neyonce just makes this song sound sexy

[lwillie3000]

i will f----- b till cream

[dagrinch05]

Much respect right there! Beyonce did her thing on this remix!

[jwh1999]

No way, the original much better, i really hate remakes

[skittles72692]

@Easterknight2461 lmao! Nas is a genius, I agree with you. But how can you say Jay-Z has no talent? Honestly.

[TheThemusiclover]

Beautiful song

[FreshDrummerBoy]

Tyrone Davis- Ain't Nothing I Can Do

[FreshDrummerBoy]

When Is She Gonna Start Making Music Like This Again?! One Of The Best R&B Albums Of The Decade, By Far!

[bookielov17]

The Older One Is Wayy Better. She Did Ok.

[joyce365]

42 plp are mad because Beyonce Would rather NOT be with them.

[GOLDENBELL1991]

Wow, I thought this version was about to be a fail because it was Beyonce, but it's actually great! Go girl!!!

[nelleybluebear123]

[simplyb100]

[greasemcvey]

not nearly as good as bootsy, but hey new shit aint nearly as good as the old so it just fits the script...

[GOLDENBELL1991]

@greasemcvey TRUTH!!!

[demirenesmith1586]

41 ppl were high and missed the like button and hit the dislike button.thumbs up if you agree.

[hellokittycutie2003]

Y'know I don't care for Bey one bit, nothing personal, just don't care for a lot of her songs...but this ish...yea she laid it down on this one. I can say that I prefer her songs, when they're more on the R&B/Soul tip...very fitting for her voice!

[PoohBabii31097]

omg she tha only one who kan take someone else song n mak iht still sound good

[waliver15]

this aint racist ok.. but JayZ looks like a monkey. just him. not all black people. just him. this aint racist.

[hellokittycutie2003]

@waliver15 hahaha I always have an inkling to pop open a pack of Camel's while looking at him...or traipse through Egypt! But, a monkey is quite fitting lol!

[phektus]

@waliver15 but that's still mean LOL at least his 99 problems list do not include girls

nice cover by beyonce, made it her own, bootsy would be proud

[BLakNoSe777777]

damn beyonce u go hard

[Marcellobk]

Beyoncé BRAZIL BAHIA SALVADOR ♥

[MsMerising]

@glamourennui

Correct. It's a cool homage, but Bootsy's is a whole journey that just oozes that intimate freakiness two lovers share. Thank God for Joi - she did a WICKID cover of 'Munchies For You Love' but than, she's a funk goddess :D

[ShugaShugaRai]

damn y is it so many haters!!! this is a cool remake!! makes me think of my hubby!!! stop sippin so much hateraid!!!

[militaryminded85]

a good lookin women will only go out with an ugly guy for one reason, and it aint cuz he got a big dick

[militaryminded85]

strawberry letter 23 by brother's johnson and id rather be with you by bootsy collins....two baaaaaad ass songs put together pretty fuckin well if you ask me

[bigdfrombermondsey]

if i was bootsey id be proud ,you know this is a tribute to him,and i love it xx go girl,you got taste and you are tasty xx

[LesediLoFi]

Its good but its over produced, its missing the soul. That said i do like beyonce and she didn't completely kill it, she just made her own version and i think if you truly love music you can respect that.

[smookpapa]

JAM ON IT BEYONCE DONT HATE HATERS

[TRaceR743]

WHAHAHA youre right man its all politics:D



[KidsWithGuns1992]

Can't anyone make their own music anymore? For fuck sake.

[Funkdogg]

BOOTSY BOOTSY BOOTSY BOOTSY BOOTSY BOOTSY BOOTSY BOOTSY BOOTSY

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAABY!

[mjjcng8958]

beyonce you need to get back to this pleases a millon. you can sing but your materail is not you. you are a great singer!!!!!

[2008capricorn]

FB do yu think i should do another Dirty Dancing video like my last one when i was ??? I'm really considering this song, juss not sure!

[ebonijayde]

Some classics need to be left alone.

[dgenerate707]

@ebonijayde Some people just need to leave classics alone.

[CaliBoricua925]

@ebonijayde seriously, she ruined this song ;\

[ebonijayde]

@CaliBoricua925 Agreed.

[DEECHICK23]

@ebonijayde is that goog or bad??

[ebonijayde]

@DEECHICK23 My point is that the original is such an amazing song, and while I see that Beyonce singing may be a tribute; it does evoke the same feelings and emotions. I equate it to someone trying to sing over Mary J's song "My Life". There's so much depth to it and you relate to it because Mary is just singing her soul it in that song. I just don't think Beyonce is there yet artistically.

[DEECHICK23]

@ebonijayde owww kk....thats a valid point. i wish every could be as well mannered as you, instead they just insult her!!

[ManamoPrime]

Its good, but no-one foes it better than Bootsy.

[treymartin3334]

a Creole beauty - either you know or you dont. That's some Louisiana shit fo yo ass!

[T3hAfro]

How does Beyonce make new songs Take the intro /watch?v=GbRkQpjaBjU&feature=r­elated take the couplets /watch?v=q-ipH9Ws-zs&feature=r­elated and takes the refrains /watch?v=4t3qtgO1wHc&feature=r­elated The Eternals - Wrath of Zeus intro The Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter 23 couplet and chords Bootsy Collins - I'd Rather Be With You  Refrain and idea aka FUCK YOU BEYONCE

[ice19d]

i would do all dat and more if u wasnt married to that old ass camel

[marcs114]

je ne sais pas si vous connaissez la petite retouche de NWA i'd rather fuck you - mais Beyonce ici se debrouille pas mal.

[getitbussy]

@marcs114 celle d' eazy e est un remix qu'il a fait, bootsy collins i rather be with you est l'original

[marcs114]

@getitbussy tu serais pas fan de parliament par hasard?

[candimommi]

bootsy collins is the ISH! this version is great too!

[relentlessjenell]

love it even after these few yrs

Th
