Beyoncé and Justin - Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing[LIVE]

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I got your picture hangin' on the wall
It can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me
And they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I play the game, a fantasy
I pretend I'm not in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me

No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together

I got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there

So let me get the real thing
So let me get the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I think Marvin and Tammi would be proud of this rendition.

Beyoncé can sing soul. She's the best artist of her generation. Nobody can sing like she does, she has soul. Rihanna, Perry Britney ... they suck but Beyoncé is a great singer.

nice and all but it will never EVER be better than the original with THE originals ^_^

Honestly, Justin hit those notes pretty damn well!... and not trying to hate or anything, maybe it was just me, but didn't Beyonce sound just a little bit like trash?.... I mean i don't think Tammi Terrell would've been very proud at her attempt at this. All I'm saying. Other than that, I love the song.

I'd take Justin Timberlake over Justin Bieber anyday!

[anebturia]

Terrell didn't have a breathy voice. Her phrasing and rhythm were far superior. Terrell had to hold back to let Marvin's more limited vocals shine when they did their famous duets.

Nice to see Chris Brown an Rhiana together again at 2:24 i wish they were still together... Beyonce and Justin did a great job in my opinion. This song is one of my favorites from Motown.

@LlCoolDx eh?

@Tomcat2121 am sort of spoilt for the real thing.. 

[jay2luv]

Honestly Beyonce is not known for her voice its more for her dancing and performance's not her vocals she is a pop singer she calls herself a pop singer all the time

today's musicians .. like you were born when this song came out. Stop playing the man who's trying to prove he likes good music. They're paying tribute to the song, stop judging them, they're actually good. Bey is amazing and Justin is good.
