I really like this song. Each one brings something different to it.

Posh leave it out! Just be a wifey please!

Love Jazmines tone very soulful.

Beyonces’s I like, her interpretation is expected nothing new vocally. I can’t say who’s I prefer, I like both Jazmine’s and Beyonce’s interpretation.

The fall of Beyonce continues. She rips off performances now she is taking credit for a writing a song that she clearly did not. We’ll have to sit back and see…

I like jazmine but we all know that Beyounce will get more air play simply because she is Beyounce and Jazmine is not as popular as B so her version wont get the airplay B’s will get….

All of them sound good to me, and SMH at Beyonce taking credit for writing this song when there were two versions already made.

I LOVE BOTH JAZMINE’S & BEYONCE’S VERSIONS OF THE SONG… I LOVE THE EMOTION BEYONCE HAS IN THE SONG.. IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE’S ABOUT TO CRY… BUT JAZMINE’S IS GOOD TOO…

#3: IN RESPONSE TO YOU… BEYONCE ISNT FALLIN ANYWHERE… #1 ALBUM WITH SALES OVER 500,000 IN THE FIRST WEEK HERE WE COME… BEYONCE WILL CONTINUE DOING HER THING & MAKIN MILLIONS WHILE WERE ALL ON HERE TALKING ABOUT HER… LOL

Well maybe she wrote the adlibs

Just been checking out Jazmines myspace absolutely loving her voice thanks for shouting her out Angel.la

Jazmine’s version is very soulful and heart felt.

Beyonce’s version is also very soulful and her vocals are smooth. She gives this song more umph and strength.

Victoria Beckham’s version is “extra smooth”, but she does not really add as much soul as the other two ladies do. Her vocals are nice though.

Who sang it better, i can’t really decide, I’ll give all three ladies credit and the benefit of the doubt.

I prefer Jazmine’s.

no offense buh i jus dont like the song period lol

anyway wuh songs has jazmine written fill me in?

jazmine’s all the way..woo hoo.

this young lady is so talented is ridiculous

AND THE REASON BEYONCE GETS WRITING CREDIT ON IT IS BECAUSE SHE CHANGED SOME WORDS AROUND & ADDED A LINE OR 2… LOOK 4 THE ORIGINAL LYRICS & COMPARE THEM & YOU WILL SEE…

HERE’S THE CREDIT 4 WRITERS ON BEYNOCE’S VERSION…

RESENTMENT: WRITTEN BY BEYONCE, WALTER W. MILLSAP III, CANDICE C, NELSON, C. MAYFIELD

Ladies, ladies, come on the negativity is ridiculous….give credit when it is due, and when you can’t it’s obvious hate and that is the true meaning of hate. Yes Jazmine sang it well also, but so did beyonce. and as far as credit goes for the song who cares, you guys act like beyonce is committing a crime of some sorts, artists sing songs written by others, but because it’s beyonce it is a problem, damn yall hate the girl that damn much. People constantly complain about the girl as if her existance alone is a problem, could it be the girl has everything going for her and because of your own insecurities your jealous? I listened to both and the emotion in beyonce’s is raw and she sounded beautiful-why is it that the only comments you guys could come up with it is who gets credit for it or who will get air play? because you couldn’t knock the vocals-oh my God!!! People, especially us women let’s get it together the crab mentality must stop!

Huh? What do you mean who cares who wrote the song? That is what art is…who gets to claim it…you sound crazy. Or just like a stan would sound. That is why folks back in the 30s, and 40s got ripped off because white bands would rip they ish off and they didn’t get their royalities. MAN…
What if you wrote some ish..or a poem..or painted something and someone else came along and changed ONE line and then said it was theirs? Or added red in one spot? Would it be cool for them to say it was theirs? I know for me…HELL to the NAW man…Give me my credit….Pay me my ish.

Beyonce is cool..Jazzmin sounded good as well. But my God. She didn’t write it. Stop trying to take credit where there isn’t any to be given. Just like Puff…coming in at the end and adding a ‘Oh..or a Ah…and wanting writing credit…” Booooo..nigga Boooo…..

co-sign with #15

1st Beyonce with a close 2nd Jasmine and a far away 3rd Victoria

WHy Can’t we all just leave our comments and opinions and move on….Agree to disagree and stop turning the comment section into a boxing match.

I don’t like Posh’s verse.

Jazmine can sing her BEHIND off!!! However, I love the fullness of Beyonce’s more. Jazmine can definately sing though. Music needs someone like her.

I like beyonce’s first ,then jazmines .then victoria

I AM WITH #3 I WAS VERY DISSAPOINTED TO SEE THE DISTINCT SIMULARITY BETWEEN THE WARDROBE AS WELL AS THE ENTRANCE FOR THE AWARD SHOW…. “B” CLEARLY STOLE THAT FROM BRITTANY GRANTED BRITTANY ISNT THE HOT ITEM RIGHT NOW BUT SHE IS A GOOD PERFORMER (NOT SINGER) BUT A GOOD PERFORMER AND BEYOUNCE STOLE HER ACT ALONG WITH THE WARDROBE - THAT IS TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE - SHE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN SOMEONE WAS GOING TO PEEP THAT AND CALL HER OUT…

“B” LEARN FROM FOXY, BLACK ROB, JACKI O & THE WHITE ACTRESS THAT STOLE THOSE CLOTHES - THIEVES ALWAYS GET BUSTED

DONT JACK PEOPLES BEAT OR THEIR PERFORMANCE…

its very different each way. but i love jazmines version.

where did Bee ever claim to write the song?

Jazmine all the way

All three women brought uniqueness to their interpretation of the song, it sounds like three different songs and that is a great when it comes to music. But if I had to pick one compared to the others, it would be Jazmine because she was R&B soulful and Beyonce was borderline gospel and R&B but she did her thing. And Victoria’s version was nice, I have never heard her do a solo and it was good. I believe the origin of the song was R&B and she did not try to turn it to a pop or rock song (if she did its her prerogative), she left it as is and give it her all. But big ups to Jazmine, that girl can sing. I just wish radio and television would stop being so commercialized and give underground and unsigned artists a chance and let the audience choose for themselves, instead of beating the machine. And for Beyonce if we don’t like your version which I do we will before the end of the year because radio is so loyal to its popular artists.

IM WITH # 16

Man Im not a Stan of Beyonce but that song had me in tears when she sang it.
Each one brought a different emotion to the song.

Victoria’s was more calm and soothing as if she was telling the story of what happened.

Jazmine’s was soulful and I felt that she was coming at resentment from a viewpoint of she went through it
and she’ll make it.

Beyonce’s hit home with me. She made me feel as if she was going through the situation and the realness in her voice was raw. She gave me the impression
that she’s really hurt and might not make it through.

On the subject of who wrote it…B has no right to claim those rights. I completely co sign with #16.

I did not mean to start some drama.

I was surprised to see that Beyonce took credit for writing a song that was obviously written before her album and was given lead writing credits (her name is first, which usually means that the bulk of the music and/or lyrics was written by that person).

I guess that is just the “game” in the industry.

#6: First week sales are not completely accurate in determining the success of an album. Record companies and artist tend to buy their own records for large first week numbers. We will have to see how the sales are in the long run.

For example Damita Jo sold nearly 400,000 in it’s first week, however, as of today has sold less than 1 mil.

That is all.

Ok, Both Beoyonce and Jazmines verions gave me goos bumps. Jazmine has a great voice that really suits the song. She reminds me of Amgie Stone actually. But honestly. if I had to say who sung it BETTER, I would say Beyonce did. She sounded like she really FELT the lyrics and it just had more oopmph to it where Jazmine’s was a bit more laid back and subdued but if we are talkin about being cheated on and having to deal with another women…subdued isnt really the right mood to set.

Writing credits don’t mean the person is saying they wrote all the lyrics. Curtis Mayfield certainly didn’t write the song, but he has credit because he composed a very small portion of the song. Another example; everybody knows Berry Gordy used to take writing credits for songs just cause he told the artist to say “whoo-hoo” at a certain place.

As for who sang it better, my personal preference is Beyonce. Vickie shouldn’t even be in the line up.

STOP HATING ON BEE….YALL ARE SICKENING!!!!!!!!!!!!

i prefer jazmine’s. it’s a classier version.

Jazzy killed it! She sounds like Lauryn Hill on this Joint! Beyonce sound just like blah. Trying to hard.

I actually liked Posh’s too cause you know she went through that with David! Not over sung.

1. Jazzy
2. Posh
3. Beyonce

BEYONCE ONE IS LIKE SHES CRYING OMFG IS LIKE U CAN FEEL WHAT SHES SAYING IT. I LOVE BEYONCE’S VERSION. THE ONLY THING THATS MESSED UP THAT SHES TAKING THE CREDIT FOR THE SONG WHEN KNOWING DAMN WELL SHE NEVER WROTE IT.

Beyonce just give the heffa the chinchilla and let him go! I am sick of her whining already. LOL!!!

Is that Jazmine chick only 19?!?!

Thanks for finally posting this!!!! and u already know which i prefer Jazmines, but Bee also did the damn thing cause of the adlibs and background vocals she added…but i love the soul and simplicity of jazzys version…

Beyonce can claim writing credits for it because she re wrote some parts she didnt say she wrote the whole song like you guys are assuming. If that was me I would take writing credits as well becuase i made the song my own.

But I think Beys is better becuase you can tell she put her heart and soul into the song. But Jazmines is good as well I like the soulfulness of it and I must give credit to Victoria because we all know that girl cant sing but she tried

BEYONCE! but i also like Jazmine’s version. I don’t think that any of them actually were the first to write the song.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I’ve been sweating jazmine’s version since i’ve heard it. great singer. she did it best.

even thoughi’m not a fan of beyonce, the raking her over the coals is getting old.

I could see Mary J. Blige or Brandy singing
this song too, I know MJB & B-Rocka
would’ve murder this.

By the way Brian I am loving these who sung it better uploads! You always doing your thing!

Why did you’ll post this? This was the only song that I absolutely loved on the CD an then I heard Jasmine version which was flawless I actually just learned the words to song listening to Jasmines very clear B hit a lot of high notes and the words fade away. This was the only reason I still had the CD we’ll I just saved Jasmines version on my computer so I guess I’ll give the CD to my niece.

she was smart to add something to the song so she could get writing credit…. more royalties.danity kane didnt get any writing credits on their album less royalties for them.make that money b.

I love Beyonce’s and Jazmine’s equally. Beyonce adds her own thing to every song she sings, therefore I say she can claim some writing rights. Does it just say “Beyonce Knowles”?

Nah, and besides, Victoria nor Jazmine wrote the song; two people wrote it for Victoria’s album, and as ya’ll can see (if you went to Jazmine’s Myspace page), Jazmine is underground and she covers many songs.

Jazmine can SANG though! Victoria’s version is lacking in the soul necessary for this song.

I can’t listen to it but I think Jazmines version can be better.

for the record the topic of this post wasn’t who wrote it but whose version do you like the best… that’s why I really don’t care who wrote it. I listened to the songs and I can admire someones work rather it be different from what I prefer and still give them credit for doing the damn thang, but that comes with maturity and it is quite obvious that no matter what anyone says some of you will always criticize beyonce and anything she does, if she jumped over the moon, no matter how amazing the act you will analyze and criticize the manner in which it was done.

JAZMINE

lol @ 36

Okay, all three versions have each artists own uniqueness. All three women did their own thang on the song. I feel more emotion in Jazmine’s and Bee’s however. Beyonce’s voice is clear, but soulful, Jazmine’s is kinda of raspy, but soulful as well. I think I like them (Bee’s and Jaz’s soul renditions) equally the same.

BEYONCE DID THE BEST EVEN THOU I LIKE THE OTHER 2 VERSION BUT BEYONCE CHANGED UP SOME LYRICS AND MADE IT HERS I LOVE BEYONCES THE BEST SRRY ! =] GO BEYONCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

36. “Beyonce just give the heffa the chinchilla and let him go! I am sick of her whining already. LOL!!!”

LOL LOL LOL

I love Beyonce’s version because of the emotion in her voice. S**t, she makes me wanna cry. My favorite part is the ending and that is what the other two are missing . . . I would like their versions too if I hadn’t heard Beyonce’s

All 3 sound really good. Different voices. Very Jazzy edge to the song. Beyonce sounds beautiful but I think I prefer Jazmine on this one. She has that old sound that reminds me of the song “Misty Blue”. Ms. Beckham did her thing to but I prefer the soulful sound.

Check out Jazmines myspace and it was real treat. Thanks.

JAZMINE!! She had the soul to deliver the song, i just loved it from beginning to end, she didn’t oversing like Beyone was kinda on the verge or diamn on the verge of doing, or undersing the Victoria. i don’t like the changes Beyonce did to the song, i mean the heffa gotta have the writing credit somehow! GOOD OL’ PAPA KNOWLES! And she does this weird thing with her voice where she quivers the line to hold it or some ish! Victoria sounded like she didn’t know the flow of the song and just ran through it!

also, what is STAN?? i see it in some many post “I AM NOT A STAN OF BEYONCE” what the hell does that mean!

beyo um im just not feeling her new music at all. jaz sounding pretty good there. i heard alot about her. o and posh husband is so fine. makes me wish i had white chocalate

i like jazmines version better

Jazmine hands down!

I loved Jazmine’s voice on this. It mos def suited the song. It has the grit and rawness this song needs.

But Beyonce’s sang this like she FELT it and the vocal arrangement and vocal production was way better that Jazzy’s

I wasn’t feeling Posh’s version at all.

So first place goes to Beyonce with Jazmine a close second.

Okay all i can say there’s always HATERS!! I loved jazmine’s soulful raspy voice! But Bee’s emotion in the song makes you feel her pain. Both did wonderful in their own way. Posh ummm… keep habving babies with that fine husband of urs. lol.

I so agree with you #48.The topic was whos version do you like the best.This tearing Beyonce down is really getting old.

I like all 3. As said before, they all bring something a little different. But, Beyonce hits that last verse better than all 3. When I heard that verse I got major goosebumps. Jazmine’s sounds like it could’ve been on the radio in the 50s, she did a good job bringing that out. Beyonce changed hers up a lot, with all the layers, and background vocals, and such. But, all 3 did a good job.

#55 STAN - Obsessed fan (Eminem’s& Dido’s-Stan)??
Failed to listen to the song but I’ve definately downloaded Jazmine’s version..I know she did it best..
I just checked out Jazmine’s myspace….Thks

haven’t listened to the song yet, but why all the negativity towards beyonce? who said that she is actually “taking credit” for writing this song?

Jazmine’s version is beautiful. Beyonce singed this song too…very powerful.

I don’t care for Victoria’s version lol, rather not hear it

#56 Have you heard Emenims, “Stan” song? I think it

came out like in 2000 or 2001 (can’t really remember

the year anywhoo..) Remeber how much of an obssesed

fan he was? Writing to EM having all of his pictures

etc… that’s a Stan and I’ve come to notice that

alot of people are either a Stan of Beyonce’s or

extreme haters. I stand in the middle. I’m not a Stan

but I also dont hate on her or anything she does. If

it’s quality I like it if not I don’t. Stans tend to

side with Beyonce no matter what she sounds like or

how she performs…because of their obsessive fan

behavior. I have to say that I am a Stan of MJB though..lol!

Oops that was to Tracey

Lemme put it like this:

I’m used to hearing Beyonce’s voice and yea she’s a good singer. They all killed the song but it’s because of the song and Jazmine wrote it. So since she wrote it, she sung it the way its supposed to… in that 50’s kinda sound so therefore she sung it best. Jazmine’s voice is really fresh and different, I wanna hear more from her.

Beyonce Beyonce and Beyonce…

I like Jazmine was way better very soulful. I like victoria’s also.

i prefered Jazmines version. Vicky is rubbish, bey is alright but i’m too used to her now. wen i listened 2 Jaz’s version, and beys, it sounded 2 me like a song Tweet would sing, thats why i liked it, but Jaz’s voice is really nice though.

Honestly I seriously need a new thread to be posted on here.

@ #68…Jazmine did not write this song.

beyonce gets writing credit for changing and adding lyrics. it’s also been said that she came up with the new vocal arrangement of the song (which the progressions and stuff like that).

like I said, I love both versions of the song.

go to beyonce’s main website and read the lyrics its a difference. so yeah she wrote some parts of the song. ya’ll have to understand if u wrote only one sentence in a song u get credit 4 it. but bee did change words around and made it her own!! smooches
