WHO SANG IT BETTER? RESENTMENT
Saturday, September 9, 2006

I don’t know who recorded this song first, Victoria or Jazmine, but I know that Beyonce recorded it last. I’ve been getting e-mails about this for weeks now. But I was and have been fully aware that there are three versions of this song. To be completely honest, they all sound like three different songs to me! Victoria Beckham’s (former Spice Girl and wife of international soccer star, David Beckham) version does not compare to the soulful Jazmine Sullivan’s or B’s, but upon first listen to Beyonce and Jazmine’s versions, I didn’t even realize it was the same song, but I love both of them. Jazmine’s voice just has so much soul and I love Beyonce’s delivery. The song is just a beautiful song, I can see why so many people’ve recorded.
Victoria Beckham - Resentment (full) - download
Beyonce - Resentment (full) - download
Jazmine Sullivan - Resentment (full) - download
So you know the question… which do you like better?! And by the way, please add Jazmine’s MySpace! She is dope, seriously! She’s written a lot of songs that you’ve heard on the radio. You just didn’t know that it was her.

I recently spoken with jazmine and i just found out that neither Jazmine, Beyonce, nor Victoria wrote the song. The song was oringinally written by an artist back in the day ( I will be sure to post her name the next time i log on).
What happen was jazmine recored a version of the song, and i guess Beyonce and Victoria liked her version, and they recored a version similiar to jazmines.

i know that this isn’t a boxing match and everyone’s is entitled to they’re own opinion. The song is a beautiful song all together.My heart isn’t broken and i felt all emotional inside. When i first heard it, it was off of B-day.I went online to download it and i seen all these comments about who sung it better, Vikki or B, Beyonce got it by a long shot. She made me want to cry when i heard the song like she put her heart and soul in the song(like always),which is what the song needs…soul. If you don’t like B, that’s all good and gravy but dawg she got them vocals on lock.Today was my first time hearing Jasmine’s also i can see the comp between them two, But I don’t too much like Vikki’s version..And if the credit was so much of an issue there would be people sueing up the a**, so if they’re not getting rawled up neither should you.

I love jazzy! vocally she is a monster! Sick wit it! Music is dying for jazzy to break through the industry walls! As far as “B” Goes, she is sick but we heard it all befor, on her vocals she is not givin us anything knew. same harmonies, hooks, runs. but when she gets on stage, she is a beast. The girl is bad. but over all on this song and vocals Jazzy Hands down. And the spice girl who cares!

I don’t post much, but A. I have lots of Victoria’s Song and she can sing, she is no Mariah or Debelah Morgan. I think going up against r&b vocals she did a beautiful job.
All the girls did the a great job.
Beyonce has great talent but she isn’t the best vocal out there, she just happens to follow the trend which is skin baring, If Debelah Morgan sold out her morals like jessica simpson and beyonce she’d be recording the emancipation of Debelah and not Mariah because here range is that of Mariah, Minnie Rippleton, Denise Williams.

This is a song by Debelah Morgan i hope one day real vocals like this make a come back!

Victoria Beckham did something different, she gave you something subtle, something you have to engage with to feel it’s weight. The other versions were good, especially Jasmine’s (Beyonce has major talent but any one of her songs is starting to sound pretty much like any other), but I’m glad I downloaded Victoria’s. Respect to all opinions, including those that hated Victoria’s, but seriously, why bother posting if you’re not gonna download all the versions, or listen to them in the way the singer intended?

can’t none of them sue because my father has been playing the instrumental for years, long before all those girls sung off of it. i suppose its a song from the 70’s no one can file suit because its not any of their songs.

I definitely think Beyonce’s version is better because she added more to the song, she made it her own. U can really feel her passion….Jazmine’s version is great also. She has a beautiful voice, but I think she’s just singing the song and not delivering it…

the song was written by damon dash with victoria since it was talking about how her and david’s marriage and how it was falling apart n she sang it a couple of years ago so beyonce shouldnt take credit for writing the song although she changed a few lyrics i like all versions but i like vic an jaz. version better cuz b was sreaming on hers to much she is a great artist but if she truly worked so hard she would be able to write her own songs which she doesnt and if you believe she does think again!

As much as everyone’s comments could be true, it is common knowledge that Beyonce has been writing songs since she was very young. The furthest back I could trace this song being recorded was 2003. Beyonce may have written the song a few years ago and Victoria Beckam and Jazmine Sullivan just took it and recorded it.( That makes the MOST since.)

We all know Jazzy wrote the song (& sang it best IN MY OPINION).. Beyonce is a beast but she admitted to allowing many others some creative input on this album and Jazzy is just one of those people. For both Posh and Jazzy to have the same version lets you know that Beyonce isn’t the original writer and as previously concluded she was able to get credit for the editing she did to the song. This girl is 6 years Beyonce’s junior and can write like that? Has already performed with Stevie Wonder 6 years ago at the age of 13? Has been in the music business for 7 years and isn’t able to buy herself a drink? Graduated from the same high school as boyz ii men? YES! YES! YES! YES!

omg are yall stupid damon dash wrote the damn song for victoria a few years ago if you were familiar with english press you would know this since it is clearly about david beckham beyonce took it and added a few things and if you write one line in a song you can say its your song jazmine didnt write but she sang it well and the beat was tooken from an old song so get over it damn

i think that the song most definately sounds different when performed by each of them. ive never been too keen on victoria’s attempts at ’singing’ but i must say i was pleasantly surprised when i heard her version. she did her best and for what its worth it was classy.
beyonce, to me, has always been and will always be one of the most overrated people in the music industry. she openly allows herself to be pimped by her parents, her pr agency and even her man for monetry gain but when i hear he sings songs like this, i see a glimmer of hope for the respectable and revered singer and performer that i would prefer her to be. as far as im concerened anybody with the capabilities to project emotion in a song like the way she has, has absolutely no need to be shakin her ass n bending over on GQ magazine covers like a common vide-hoe. britney spears - definately, but not beyonce. in that respect, she could take a leaf out of victorias less talentled but slightly more classy book.
jazzy; my gurl through and through. ive been hearing about this girl for so long and every year i wait for her to break through, but she never does. her voice is beyond soulful and although she doesnt manage to evoke the emotions that beyonce did, she stays away from the one thing that hacks me off so majorly about beyonce; she didnt oversing and adlib the song to death.
my verdict (regretably)
#1 beyonce despite her oversinging and chronic overexposed nature.
#2 jazzy but im sure she could have put a bit more oomph into teh delivery
#3 victoria go ahead girl n keep spicin up your life!

I agree with #148, BEYONCE MURDERED DAT SONG, HANDS DOWN!!! EVERY THOUGH THE OTHER GIRL, I FORGOT HER NAME THAT QUICK, SANG IT OKAY, IT WAS SOULFUL, IT DOESN’T COMPARE TO B’S AT ALL. B’S VERSION FELT SO REAL, IT WAS LIKE, HER MAN JUST HAD DONE HER WRONG, AND SHE STARTED SINGING THIS SONG. POSH NEED TO SIT HER ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE CUZ U DIDNT GET ANY EMOTIONS FROM HER, OUT THAT SONG! SO TO ALL THE BEYONCE HATERS

Clearly Beyonce deserves a writing credit because she changed the lyrics and made it more personal. Plus when this album came out she clearly stated that this was a colaboration of many writers and many producers. She helped write most of the songs. She never took full credit for writing the complete album she always stated that it was a colaboration and Beyonce’s version was the best ofcourse!!!! Beyonce sings her heart out on this song. Nobody snaps like B does. And who cares about and ex spice girl anyway

I know ppl are entitled to an opinio, and vickie and B put it down…but there is no way in hell that their versions can compare to Jazmine’s….i’ve been singing for 19 years and i’ve heard everything but i’ve never heard anyone run like her…Jesus Christ!

I LOVEEEEEE Jazmine’s version. BUT those harmonies in Beyonce’s versions are out of this word. And Beyonce gets FARRRR more virtuosic with the singing. She adds a WHOLE bunch of power, strength, and range. She’s a better technical singer than Jazmine obviously, but Jazmine has more soul. But again those harmonies in Beyonce’s version are nuts lol. Hard to choose.

I think it has nothing to do with jelousy but you guys ride her so much that the smallest thing a person says you are affended now beyonce in my opinion did well but the fact that the song was written a while ago and sung twice before she should not be pronounced the writer of this song however I do think that jazmine sung the song better but some of you will never see it that way because you all wont face the fact that there are singers better than miss knowles by the way you can not bash or call a person a hater for being original and having a mind of their own and being different having a different style and taste than you good day

Jazmine and Beyonce sang the song equally well. B’s delivery and emotions really added to the song and Jazmine’s rifts at the end were very good. Either way, the song is something that many women can relate to.

I like Jasmine’s version better. Beyonce’s sounds overproduced. The simplicity of Jasmin’s appeals to me. Victoria’s is too unsoulful….
I do agree that Beyonce shouldn’t put her name on writing credits, because it is misleading. The person(s) who actually made a signifigant contribution should be there.

welll to set the record straight what alot of people dont know jazmine sullivan is that she does session work. she does studio singing which means she does not have to sing a verse to the best of her ability cuz artist like ummm posh and beyonce can resing the verses and a ffew back grounds being it that jazmine sullivan was the session singer of this song and only put enough on it to sell to an artist to sing over she did a hell of a job better then the other to her tone is so much doper then beyonce and posh

just clear ur mind…dont be looking for ’soul’ , ‘jazz’ or watever it is y’all are hearing!
i love Victoria’s version coz she takes u back to that alleged affair and how it messed her up….
Jazzy sounds ok..imean she has s god voice but i cant connect the senario of resentment althou she sounds good
Bee sounds good as well and sings the only way she knows how and thats not a bad thing!
i think it was originally for Posh so stop with all the negativity…no two artists are the same!

Victoria needs 2 stop immediately!!!!! I love Beyonce & her theatrics she kills ish err’time!!!!! Jazmine’s version I like the most because it has an effortless soul 2 it, Beyonce’s is soulful & takes us on a plane ride, while Jazmine is a bird in flight- NATURAL & it doesn’t need theatrics to carry it. She is bomb I can’t wait 4 her 2 blow!

Well Victoria wrote the song because of the alleged affair that her husband had, makes more sense that she wrote the song and besides, her’s has more emotion based on the fact she went through the experience, not Beyonce and not Jazmine. Though they both are good singers, Victoria takes the cake on this one. It is her’s, she wrote it, she’s lived it, and you can feel her pain and confusion.

Victoria’s version is boring. Extremely boring.
Beyonce gets on my nerves. She does too many runs. She always sounds like she’s forcing something. I don’t know if it’s energy or volume. But she always sounds forced and not natural.
I think Jazmine’s was the best. Due to her voice sounding soft but powerful, unlike Beyonce’s screaming. Beyonce needs to learn from the young vocalist. Jazmine can show Beyonce that you don’t have to scream to dominate a track.

I overheard this song playing in my daughters room constantly. I had NO CLUE who sang it or what the name of the song was. Everytime I heard it I found myself liking it more and more purely off the emotion and the delivery of the song. I finally asked my daughter who sang the song and she told me beyonce. For some reason I sarted looking for information on who can write such a great song…..After all the hoopla surrounding “originality” and where it came from? who wrote it? I found out it was Walter Millsap III, Candice Nelson and that Curtis Mayfield played the musical part (sample) I heard the other versions and allthough I like Jasmines voice as well I feel Beyonce’s version kills the other ones. Jusy my 2 cents! It’s a well written song and ANYBODY will soul can carry it!

I’ve loved Beyonce since Destiny’s Child. But honestly, this song has 2 go 2 Jazmine. Her voice is so sultry and perfect for this song. Beyonce’s voice is much too powerful for this type of song because her voice keeps overlapping itself and it’s just way 2 much. Besides, she doesn’t bring anything new to the song other than what she gives every other song she sings. When i first heard resentment, it was by Beyonce after I bought her album. I didn’t really connect to the song as much as the others. Then I heard that the song had been written for Jazmine Sullivan who I had never heard of. It was FLAWLESS!!! Victoria Beckham isn’t even in the contest…sry.
