Bee shuts it down on this one with Jazmine following behind. Bee defintely gives credit where credit is do. Yes, she gets writing credits for her additions to the track! Go Team Bee! Shut the haters down again!

Ok, can someone answer something for me?

How come people always say that it sounds like Beyonce has no soul when she sings? I can feel when she’s singing, and obviously other people do as well. She has a great voice, and she loves what she does.

For ya’ll who are saying, “I love Jazmine’s better; you can hear the soul in her voice.”

Uhh…that’s the voice she was born with. It’s raspy and full, just like Beyonce’s is is clear and powerful. How can you say that either has more soul? You don’t know what they were feeling as they sang it.

They BOTH sang that song!

I feel you, I can’t her shit neither. I don’t care fuck it.

Hmm… for some reason I like Victoria’s. :-\

1st Jazmine - had the song from the door…she doesn’t need to scream at the top of her lungs at the end of the song to make it “powerful”, even though it sounds like she could

2nd Victoria - she allows you to listen and understand the lyrics. Her voice flows well on a “soulful/folky” track like this.

3rd Beyonce - she didn’t grab me from the door with this one. she’s not a quiet singer, so it sounded weak in the beginning. and when she did open dem pipes up, i think she oversang the song.

but hey, she slapped her name on it and put it on her album, so i guess it’s her song now.

I like Beyonce’s version. Its been on all morning. I like the other two as well. For all the people who claim to hate Beyonce, really if she was not around who would bring it? Rihanna, Cherish, Cassie? Together they dont have 1/4 of her talent.

Musicated Minor…

I think what people might mean is that Beyonce has a sound that was taught and not natural. There is a difference between someone who can naturally sing and perfects the sound versus someone who can’t and is taught to do runs, vibrato, etc. It seems that B is imitating a true soul singer by reproducing some of the “soulful” sounds. Maybe….

But I know for me, J’s sound is more soulful because of its fullness, depth, quality, and truth. B on the other hand sounds artificial - but she still does a good job.

#1 J
#2 Tie between B and V

HMMM…. THIS IS KIND OF TOUGH. THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT EACH VERSION THAT I LIKE. I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT VICTORIA’S VERSION IS GARBAGE, BUT IT’S NOT. SHE HAS AN OLD FOLK SONG KIND OF FEEL TO IT AND I REALLY LIKE IT. BEYONCE’S IS GOOD, BUT I DIDN’T REALLY START TO FEEL IT UNTIL THE END. JAZMINE’S IS JUST GOOD ALL THE WAY AROUND. I LOVE LOVE HER VOICE. IF I HAD TO RANK THEM IT WOULD BE:
1. VICTORIA’S — CAUSE IT’S DIFFERENT NOT TYPICAL R&B OR POP

2. JAZMINE
3. BEYONCE

I have the CD right now and she gives credits to other writers and says it is an excerpt for Curtis Mayfield. There was a time when black folks DID NOT get any CREDITS for song writing. The record company has to pay her more for a song credit so that is the motivation. This is standard even if you only add one line.

ROFLMAO @ the clip on the MTV Sucka Free:Clipse/Gillie Da Kid. “…Thanks Stunna”.lol Dude talkin bout he ghostwrites for Lil Wanye and Birdman. “Like father like son”? Yall see Malice tryin hard not to laugh. That shit was funny as hell.

Gillie Da Kid looks like a crackhead. He looks like Donell Rawlings “Ashy Larry” from the Chappelle Show.LMAO

#6, I JUST CHECKED THE BILLBOARD CHARTS AND BDAY DEBUTED AT # 47, HOW IS IT #1? jUST CHECKING MAYBE I’M MISSING SOMETHING????

Beyonce changed the word “five” to “six.” She’s clearly a lyrical genius.

COsign# 16, you can’t go arounf stealing songs and not giving credit to the person who aritist who arote it.

Whoever wrote the initial song was happy to give it to Beyonce and put it on what will probably be a platinum record at least. That increases their profit from the song. In the music business, it’s the songwriters and producers who make the money. If you are a self-contained artist, you really win.
I liked all three versions, was surprised that Posh Spice sounded pretty good. That’s the mark of a great song when several people can do it and it sounds good each time.

IF SOMEONE IS A FAN OF SOMEONES WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE A STAN ? EVERYTIME A SONG COMES OUT ARE BLACK PEOPLE ALWAYS GONNA TURN IT INTO THE NEW SLANG WORD ???

I think all versions are a reflection of that particular artist, one isn’t really better then the other. I agree with the earlier post that Beyonces does sound like she’s near tears, the emotion was beautiful. Unfortunately, this happens in the industry a lot a songwritter will write a song and sell it to the highest bidder, and occasionally maybe two or three of them. typically as in the cas of this particular song, just because it is recorded by a particular artist doesn’t mean it will see the light of day. Both Posh and Jasmines version were both left on the cutting room floor, and Beyonce’s label Columbia chose to pick up her version for her album. It really isn’t a Beyonce thing it’s a business thing, if this girl Jasmine is a really good singer I’m sure that the executives from her label had a really good reason for not using it.

Until next time folks,

Holla

jasmine’s is waaay better. i’ve had beyonce’s album for like 2weeks now and i always skip that song. but when i heard jasmines i was like wow!

F&*k it Jazmine was better….Sorry B

She got that Anthony Hamilton soul vibe

Jazmine is doing justice to that song…She has an amazing voice to be so young..Go Jaz….*Mel*

i realy dont care for this song. i perfer jasmine`s version beyonce doing too many runs. to dramatic

OMG, why does everyone have so much hate towards Beyonce? I guess thats the way it goes, when you become that successful people tend to turn their back on you. But anyways, Resentment is a remake. Couldn’t be any worse than any of these rappers stealing samples from old hits and claiming it as there own. What you fail to realize is if a person adds one word to a song, they have contributed SOMETHING. Therefore they are protected by copyright laws to get their credits
Quit trying to find soemthing wrong with everything.

bee hands down

im sorry, did beyonce ask the paparazi to follow her around so there is always fresh pics or news of her doing something?? it is her job & bcoz she is hot there WILL be alot of press. did she ask for the god given talent that is her voice?? i dont understand, she is makin her money like u all would want to do if in her position but she is constantly hated on, what for is what id like to know. if ashanti, mya, amerie to name a few were as successful as her im guessin they would get the same reception from u guys.

b4 ne1 jumps down my throat im not sayin it was ok for her to take writin creds, im saying that all the time ppl r hatin on her but i dont c why??? im not even a crazy ass fan i just dont think its appropriate the way u guys carry on sometimes.

ive read ppl give credit to ashanti and kelis, ive heard so many times how them girls are RUDE!! further more hands up if u saw ashanti gettin punked, she needs to recognise that her shit stinks. i REALLY want to know why all the beyonce hate, what has she done to offend u guys.

victoria beckham is a joke. jasmine’s version was good, she can really sing but her voice is totally different to bey’s which makes it unfair to compare, depends what u like. both were really good but i did prefer bey’s.

Beyonce = THe chic yall love to hate….

Srry Kelis. Should have gave Bossy to Beyonce.

Beyonce sang it best duh.

so she didnt even “TAKE” the writing creds, she just added her name to her version coz she added her likkle peice, the other people still got acknowledged so stop crying!

JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE DON’T SIT THERE AND KISS BEY’S ASS ON EVERY POST MAKES THEM A STAN??

$@#&* PLEASE…

I DO LIKE SOME OF HER SONGS (HAVEN’T FOUND ONE ON B-DAY THAT’S STUCK TO ME YET) BUT NOT EVERY GAHTDAMN ONE…

AND QUITE FRANKLY, I LIKE VICOTRIA’S VERSION…

I GET THE “ALL THAT GLITTER’S AIN’T GOLD IN THE HOUSE OF BECKHAM” VIBE IN HER VERSION…

JASMINE’S WAS NICE AS WELL.

Brian and #118,

A couple of ppl emailed me about this post. I don’t think Brian “post jacked” at all. I think it’s mere coincidental.

I guess great minds think alike.

I am a huge fan of CL. Please keep up the great work on keep me in the loop of black celebrity gossip.

I’ve only listened to Bey’s version so far

Bey tore it up…she made me feel it…DAMN SONG GOT ME REMEMBERING THE TIMES I GOT MY HEART BROKEN!!

Here goes beyonce always overdoing everything! jazz does her shit for real. I am soo tired of beyonce and i agree that when it comes to sould artists Bey doesn’t even come close, even STANS have to agree. jazz does her thang for real! I love it!

————————————————————————————————————

Exactly…Beyonce did NOT try to take credit, she just gave herself credit where credit is due. JAZMINE DIDN’T EVEN WRITE THE DAMN THING. She covered it too, why is everyone acting as if she did…hmm?

The only thing i have to disagree on is that Beyonce added ALOT to the song…not just a little…She added:

The vocal arrangements…
Phrases
“I haven’t tried to forgive this
but I’m much too full of resentment” to every chorus, That fulls out the song…IMO
And the whole last part
The song basically is turnt around…
verses are in different places w/ different words.
i didn’t even realize till DV posted the lyrics.

Beyonce’s is better; she has the emotion and it brings you to tears. And she fills the ending w/ her own lyrics. She made is her own, most def. The arrangements are CRAZY. Jazmine’s I like because of her voice. It sounds nearly effortless. Victoria’s I couldn’t bare to listen to….was breathy and one-toned.

1. Beyonce (By a mile)
2. Jazmine (Solid, but lacking)
3. Victoria (Nothing much to like)

“Beyonce changed the word “five” to “six.” She’s clearly a lyrical genius”

^^^^ LOL. ITA

Anyway,

1) Jazmine
2) Bey
3) Vicks

just listened to Jazmine’s version…I love it too…this girl is only 19???

her voice has that old soul to it…luv that raspy sound

didn’t know that Victoria Beckham had such a pretty voice

i don’t think Bey overdid the song, she just took the song and made it her own

Waddup peoples. I like B’s version. But Jazmine KILLED this track. Check the runs, not over used, not too many. Control of her voice is crazy. Victoria’s has a nice mellow sound, but I gotta give it to Jazmine.

I only took the time to upload two versions (Beyonce’s and Jazmine’s). I love both versions, but there’s something about Jazmines’ voice that made me fall in love with the track. Her vocals are strong and she brings a lot of soul to the lyrics. I agree with #2, Beyonces’ vocals are nothing new, and they’re a little overdone, if you ask me. But I still like them both..but I gotta give it to JAZMINE, she did the damn thing.

Victoria Beckham was the first to sing it, it was supposed to be on her album , but it was left off. Then Jazmine sung it in 2004.

OMG!!! Ya’ll are really serious about this. Beyonce, Beyonce, she i the one!! I am so sorry but we all know that she did her damn thing. She can out sing all of them to me. I know some people may get tired of seeing her but you can’t doubt her ability to sing. No she can SANG!!! I am a big, big Beyonce fan indeed, but even if I wasn’t she ripped that damn song. PLEASE people just stop hating on this woman she is just doing what god gave her talent for. Remember hating looks good on nobody! Thanx.

the beyonce shit is gettin old…all the hate for nothin..

and the fool who said beyonce doesnt have soul is smokin that good shiiii

I think Jazmine’s sounds the way it should have sounded. Beyonce’s version was great. And Victoria’s wasn’t bad at all. It just lacked soul.

Who sung it better? Damn, that’s so wrong! That should read, “Who SANG it better”! I mean, loud and wrong. The past participle is still a reality!

Anyway, I love the Sullivan and the Knowles’ versions.

I like both Jazmine and B….Jazmine had the soulful vibe and B just did the ‘crazy in love thing… didn’t bother to listen to victoria lol

Is that creature that Victoria is petting real? That thing looks like Cujo’s cousin…

B’s got that delivery like Angel said. Can’t be beat.

Jazmine Sullivan made me want to listen to it. I LOVE her voice.

@ # 102 she sold 557+ so that is far from a flop.

Soooo…make me understand if you dont’t think that b sing it better then your a hater? mmmm…but if her fans know that people are going to “hate” on her why are you all getting mad???? Understand it is what it is you are her FANS by choice everyone dont have to like her and everything she does I’m sorry reality check!!!Whatever voice she has it did’t come natural I used to wonder all the time in DC why she was always leading the songs? But then I found out that her dad was in charge. Thats why I never respected b as a singer because was she given the chance because she really could sing or because of her dad?

but I have to admit I love DeJa Vu and all the songs from the last album

WOW I love all three each giving their own expression to the words of the song. I love beyonces’ modern and Jazmines’ 50 twist to it
the most..but i do like victoria’s pop to it..I love the records and the song itself… beautiful song

i luv BEYONCE’S way betta…and jazmine’s is koo

Jazmine brings so much soul to it. She has a beatiful voice. Beyonce bring a sweet voice to it. I like all 3 because there is one for each generation of music. soul, r&b and pop.

YES, I AM LATE BUT I JUST GOT WIND OF THIS SITE…AND I HAVE READ A FEW COMMENTS AND JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW JAZMINE SULLIAN HAS WRITTEN ONE OF THE TOP SMASH HITS “SAY I” FOR CHRISTIAN MILIAN AND A FEW OTHER CREDITS I AM SURE YALL CAN GOOGLE UP AND FIND OUT…OH YEAH IF YALL GO AND READ HER MYSPACE YOU MIGHT JUST LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TALENTED UP AND COMING WOMAN…NOT TAKING ANYTHING AWAY FROM B. I LOVE HER AS WELL BUT DON’T HATE ON JAZ JUST CUZ SHE’S NOT AS FAMOUS AS HER…;-)

OH YEAH..AND I LOVE JAZ’S VERSION IT IS RAW TALENT…IN RARE FORM! LOVE HER AND REMEBER IF SHE SOUNDS LIKE THIS AT 19 SHE IS GOING TO FUCK THE GAME UP WHEN SHE GETS B’S AGE…HOLLA!

REMEMBER

Ok, lets put it all out on the table. # 1 i am from philly and i kno jazmine sullivan personally. Beyonce is the best female vocal artist in the music industry. although many people dont even kno who jazmine sullivan is, i can all most gaurntee you she will be known. Granted beyonce did take credit for the song, but she still delieverd in a way towards the song still competes with jazmines( if not we wouldnt be having this discussion). Being a vocalist myself, there is kno one who can compare to beyonce VOCALLY but jazmine. (not even Mariah Carrey, but thats a whole other topic).

I thought that CL was slipping… i was waitin for the person who know somebody personally.LOL
WHO is JAZMINE? This girl can sing her tail off. She is how old? I thought i was going to cry listening to the deep soul of her voice it was so convincing. I am sitting on the edge of my seat!! YES,YES,YES this is what REAL singin sounds like!! Hook her up with the right producers PLEASE!! ANgel it is your responsibillty to give us more!! and keep us updated on her goings on.

@208 what do u mean there is no one who can compare to beyonce VOCALLY but jazmine. PLEASE beyonce can sang but her voice is not exceptional and I need to hear more from this jazmine girl to judge her vocal skills. but other than that I like beyonce + jazmine version.

Da truth——What do you mean her voice is not “exceptional”. Beyonce is the best female vocal artist in the industry now. Please let me kno who is better, think long and hard!!!!!!!

@211 you must be a beyonce stan. because her voice is good and she can sang plus she is a GOOD Performer. NOW VOICE WISE CHRISTINA AGUILERA IS SHITTING ON BEYONCE. BOTH THEIR VOICES ARE POWERFUL, but RANGE WISE CHRIstina aguilera has it. BEyonce is not the best female vocal artist in the industry now. I will admit that a lot of the female artist have “limited Vocal Skills” but she is def. not the best. I am just wondering what makes you think she is the best NOW. and how do you say no one can compare to Beyonce but Jasmine?

I had to come back and make another coment and I listened to Jaz version and that girl can sing. Man I love her version. It brought tears to my eyes that girl is the bomb. I would buy her album. Well back to Bee yeah she is a tight female artist but Jaz got her on this song.

“Christina Aguilera”– are you seriously. Granted Christina can sing on record well, but have you heard christina live??? She cant finish a song with out struggling for the last note!!! Christina has an OK voice. I am a beyonce fan, but i am not a Fanatic! The reason why i say Jazmine is the closest to Beyonce is because thats the truth. There is not many female artist who has vocal talent. Minus the looks, body, facial features, and just hear the voice, Beyonce is the best female artist. Also what you have to realize is that the music industry is not based on vocal talent anymore. Its all about how good you look, how big your ass is etc. You dont even have to know how to sing to get in the music industry( take Ciara and Chris Brown for example).

love beyonce’s maybe coz that’s the one i heard first…i’m also lykin Jazmine’s

Damn it got vicious in here for second. I can say that I like both versions. I was riding out to Beyonce until I heard Jazzy’s version. I don’t really but Mrs. Beckham in the equation. I feel like Jazzy has such a mature voice to be 19 and I believe she recorded it a few years ago. Her Version is very soulful and rich, her raspiness is reminiscent of Kim Burrell and her song “Around Midnight” is tight work. Beyonce’s version is very powerful and has a different emotion to it. I think her dramatic feel is one that is pretty consistant in all of her ballads. I love her but I think she tends to oversing sometimes. And her performances Channel Tina Turner quite often. But I give Kudo’s to them both. But the million dollar question is: WHO WROTE THIS SONG ORIGINALLY?

I agree with #212. Every artist has a bad night, but I believe that Christina Aguilera is a BAD BAD BABY. She has a very wide vocal range and can tear some shit up. That’s little Whitney with some bleaching cream and her momma’s good wig on. Can ya’ll tell me where Deborah Cox is? I think I need to take some days off from work and hike up to canada to find her. She blows the back out of a song.

Yeah i agree “Round Midnight” was fierce!!!

Jazmine was by far better..

@214 you are right I misunderstood how you were syaing that the only person that can compare to beyonce is jasmine. but anyway I heard christina live and she hits her notes, and sing well.

@217 for real Deborah can sing her A** off I read somewhere that she was recording a new album. I agree with you bout that christina aguilera comment

I think that jazmine’s version was better than the other 2. Don’t get me wrong B is a very talented female, but jazzy kiiled it. The both of them are doin the dam thang!

First off, Jazmine has NO KIND OF CREDIT to the Resentment song, neither does Victoria. It was written by Beyonce Knowles, Walter W Millsap, Candice Nelson and C Mayfied. If Jazmine was so dope why she aint make a demo with Say I and the other jank she got - im sure somebody like Diddy wouldve signed her right? get it together people

The song was written by Victoria beckham.. not beyonce or jazmine..

‘The Real Beckhams’ DVD as the original version written by victoria beckham…

I like all 3 versions but Beyonce’s is the best. The rawness and the pain in her voice takes the song to another level. Jazmine’s version is beautiful as well because of her soulful voice. To me, the lyrics of the song deserve more passion and Jazmine didnt give that. Victoria’s version is good however it doesnt stand up against the other two.

As far as the credits of the song… Beyonce added her name for changing the lyrics (which is fine) because she didnt take off the credit of the original writers. Its no different than a rapper sampling an old song, rewriting it and taking credit. So STOP making it seem like she STOLE the song!
