WHO SUNG IT BETTER ANYWAY?: BEYONCE V.S DES’REE

Wednesday, April 18, 2007

beedesiree.jpg

Beyonce remade a song called “Still In Love (Kissing You)”, but it’s being reported she never had permission to record the song and is being hit with a lawsuit:

According to a lawsuit filed yesterday in Manhattan Federal Court by music administators, Beyonce allegedly never obtained proper clearance to cover a song called “I’m Kissing You,” originally co-written by a singer named Des’ree — famous for her 1994 smash hit, “Gotta Be.” Des’ree’s version was used in Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film “Romeo and Juliet,” Beyonce’s version can be found on the re-release of her album, “B’Day.”

In the lawsuit, Des’ree and her reps claim that Beyonce, along with her record company people, originally tried to work out a deal to use the song. When they weren’t satisfied with the proposed terms — which included not being able to change the title or make a music video for the song — Beyonce’ allegedly blew off copyright law completely, and recorded the song and video without permission. The song was eventually released on Beyonce’s album, “B’Day - Deluxe Edition” on April 3, 2007, with the title “Still in Love (Kissing You).”

Des’ree is suing to halt distribution of the song, video and album and seeking at least $150,000 in damages. READ MORE

Looks like Bee went hard on them and said she gonna do this song for her man. I’ve always like Des’ree though, she has a beautiful voice and I found it odd for Beyonce to remake the song anyway seeing how it was released and plenty people know about it. I’ll let you guys be the judge in this challenge: Who sung it better anyway?

Desree’s version is way better. “Kissing You” has always been one of my favorite songs and I was actually excited to hear Bey’s version, but I was left disappointed. Bey doesn’t have enough passion or something in her voice for this song. It sounds like she’s trying to miick Desree’s intensity, but it’s just not happening. And then she ruined the song for me when she started hollin’ “I Love You”, you don’t always have to yell. She ruined the serenity and peacefulness of that song. In a nutshell, Bey, SIT YO ASS DOWN! Shit.

As for the song, I always go for the original because it is usually made for them. I do like Bey’s version though. Very emotional, dramatic. Her voice is what it is usually is.

Des’ree sang this song live for the recording of “Kissing You” On the sound track of Romeo and Juliet. She then recorded a studio version for her CD. Des’ree blows Beyonce out of the water any day. NO ONE can do a Des’ree cover and make it sound as good. Lets just face the facts. Beyonce is a video slut… Meaning she sales her music with her breast’s… Des’ree however is completely different. Des’ree is not from the USA so therefor she was never that big here but in Europe where she is from she was a smash hit… And besides “I aint movin” Des’ree’s second release sold more copies in the US then Beyonce’s first two albums put together. Beyonce is not that great of a singer. I see a lot of mistakes in her voice. SHE JUST PLAIN SUCKS…. Des’ree is the winner here by a million miles. By no means should anyone disrespect Des’ree she has proven many times that she is a GREAT songwriter, Poet, Actress, Singer, Writer, and she is very wise…. She wrote many quotes that made it into the the record books like “Wise man is cleaver seldom ever speaks a word but a foolish man keeps talking and never is he heard” (Quote) “Des’ree Weeks” Des’ree is the bomb….PS Des’ree writes every song she sings….. Beyonce can’t say that…. Love Always JenniferDeejay

All these people saying Beyonce’ sung the song better are obviously dick riders! Deseree’s ass hole can sing better than Beyonce’ on Beyonce’s best day. I don’t understand you people’s fascination with this over-exposed thunder-thighed air-head. I guess we back in highschool and this shit is a popularity contest. Anyway the bitch stole the song! I bet if Deseree were light-skinned you mutherfuckers would think she nailed it.

Don’t you think that it was so dumb and stupid to continue and try to re-do someone else’s song anyway,when Beyonce did not have complete permission to do that? I think Beyonce was desperate to sing the song and to have it on her album.I understand that she wants to make millions, but she ain’t gotta go all out like that,to whare as she illegally records someone else’s song.Perhaps, Beyonce is used to getting her way ALL the tinme.And said forget the legal stuff. Know what I’m sayin’?

That was a stupid decision that Beyonce made.The entire situation could ahve been prevented if, she would have chosen to handle business properly. Ya feel me?

Now, she got somebody-Des’ree up in her pockets for a lawsuit over some stupid stuff.If that ain’t dumb and stupid,then I don’t know what iz!

Are you kidding? DES’REE!!! Beyonce’s version doesn’t even come CLOSE to displaying the emotion and convinction Des’ree had. Clearly Beyonce has a beautiful voice, but she was no match for that already perfect song. Hers was a bit empty and to be honest, it didn’t evoke anything out of me.

310.

TBYRDSWIFEY

Thursday, April 19, 2007 /

Des’ree without a doubt. There is such a unique quality to her voice. It’s warm and rich and full. I was disappointed when I found out B had redone this song because I knew she would over-sing it.

There is something about Des’Ree’s version that makes me wish I could feel the same emotion she was feeling in the song…be in love THAT DEEP.

But I like Bey’s version also…because I love her voice. And she has a lot of control. BUT the song is missing the raw emotion that’s evident in Des’Ree’s.

So I have to give this one to Des. And besides, the original is ALWAYS better.

Love Bey, but she shouldn’t have used the woman’s song without permission.

Beyonce is a DUMB ASS…She knows what she is doing…..She knew what she was doing and she knew what was going to happen. But since she is this BIG HEADED DIVA….she feels she can have her way and get away with everything. Only a cocky ass person will re record someone else’s song without permission and think they can get away with it. I don’t blame her…You know how many lawsuites were put out on Beyonce…..and she always walked away freely?

I mean come on someone should oughta dig into that bytch’s ass for real. You know what..”What Goes Around Comes Around” and the same foul shit she has done to others is gonna come right back around bit her in the ass 10x harder. JUST WAIT..I wish this dumb azz bytch will retire and go away. She soo freakin annoying. And version wasn’t even that great compared to Des’Ree.

LETS BE HONEST YOU BEYONCE STANS.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Bey’s version mostly because of the completeness she brings to the song with the additional lyrics. She just did a good job of “finishing” the song, in my opinion. No knock to Des’ree - she is a very talented artist.

both versions sound good,but beyonce is wrong if she did indeed record this song without des’ree permission,she needs to be held responsible for her actions,she knows better she has been in the business long enough,you can’t just take a person’s song that they wrote and do what you want to do with it.

FIRST OF ALL FOR EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT DESREE THIS AND THAT, I FINALLY LISTENED TO THE WHOLE SONG, NO I AM LYING I COULDN’T LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING! I PREFER BEYONCE’S OVER HER’S. BEYONCE DID NOT STEAL THE SONG THEY KNEW SHE WAS DOING IT BUT THEY DIDN’T WANT HER TO CHANGE THE LYRICS OR THE TITLE. THEY ARE NOT FAULTING HER THEY ARE FAULTING THE RECORD COMPANY! PEOPLE JUST NATURALLY JUMP ON THE FIRST BUS TO BASH BEYONCE! FOR THE PERSON WHO SAID BEYONCE’S B-DAY WAS A FLOP, HUN IT’S CERTIFIED 3X PLTINUM AFTER WHAT 7 MONTHS, NO FLOP BOO! FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO IS SAYING THAT BEYONCE CAN’T WRITE SONGS ALL SHE DO IS STEAL OTHER PEOPLE MUSIC WELL I ASSUME WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE ASCAP IS. THIS IS AN EXCERP FROM AN ARTICLE FROM AN AWARD CEREMONY HELD LAST NIGHT. NOTICE THE NAME BETWEEN NICK WHEELER AND DANGER MOUSE! NOW I WONDER DO DESREE HOLD SUCH AN AWARD! ANYONE? ANYONE?
MUCH LOVE TO JOHNTA’ AUSTIN AND JERMAINE DUPREE! I’M OUT!

Among the songwriters receiving multiple-awards were Johntá Austin and Jermaine Dupri with six awards each; Kelly Clarkson, Green Day, Mikkel Eriksen (PRS), Tor Hermansen (PRS) and Timbaland with three awards each; and All-American Rejects’ Tyson Ritter and Nick Wheeler, Beyoncé, Danger Mouse, The Fray’s Joe King and Isaac Slade, Sean Garrett, LRoc, Sean Paul, Rob Thomas and Justin Timberlake with two awards each.

IT DOES NOT SURPRISE ME BECAUSE BEYONCE IS NOT ORIGINAL AND DOES NOT HAVE HER OWN CREATIVITY. SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL LIER, AND SHE STILLS FROM ANY OTHER ARTIST IF SHE THINKS THAT SHE CAN GET AWAY WITH IT. ROBERT PALMER SHOULD SUE HER FOR COPYING HIS VIDEO WITH “ADDICTED TO LOVE”, SHE COPIED MADONNA, AND SHE HAS COPIED JANET JACKSON SO, SO, MANY TIMES, SHE STOLE JANET’S POSE TO PUT IN HER KITTY KAT VIDEO, SHE STOLE JANET’S POSES FOR HER SI COVER WITH THE BATHING SUIT POSE, THIS IS WHY PEOPLE ARE TIRED OB BEYONCE SHE IS NOT ORIGINAL AND PROBABLY WILL NOT BE AROUND VERY LONG. THE VIDEOS ARE CHEAP LOOKING, WITH NO EMOTIONS, LIFE TO THEM, THE RE-RELEASE DEBUTED ON THE CHARTS AS #6, THEY THOUGHT BEAUTIFUL LIAR WOULD BE #1 ON HOT 100 CHARTS, BUT SHE WASTED HER MONEY ON SOME CRAP THAT DID NOT WORK THE FIRST TIME.

@329

Thanks for the compliment! All said, I think Beyonce is talented and, as proven by all the comments directed towards her here, one of our most valued Black performers. I’m just not a stan and I think she’s a tad overrated. I mainly like to have a little fun at her expense.

It’s amazing that no other Black singer has inspired such strong debate between two extremes: the one’s who like her, and the one’s who don’t. Our singing heroines are usually universally loved (Chaka, ‘Retha, Diana, Mary J., Whitney, Patti etc.).

What is it about her that divides us so? Some might say that it is because she’s just THAT special. But I think that it is because where there is smoke……there seems to be some missing component. It could be there is a sneaking suspicion that she does not think for herself and if you look closely, you can see “behind the curtain”.

Anyways, I wish her the best, and hopefully, one day she’ll be able to unite her detractors with her fans and take her place aside her contemporaries.

Friday, April 20, 2007 /

I think it’s ridiculous motivating that Bey’s version is better only because she’s SOMEONE and Des’ree not.
There’s only one truth: who has a heart understands that only Des’ree’s version come from her heart, there’s true emotion in her voice, absolutely another level.
Bad idea making another version of a song that was published so recently: it sounds arrogant.
And the arrangement? Strings in Bey’s version come from a bad 80’s keyboard, no doubt…it all sounds so artificial and untrue…

Tamrock

Friday, April 20, 2007 /

I am a Beyonce fan fa sho, but Desree’s song is better because that woman wrote that song and sang it for a purpose.

There’s a part of Beyonce song where it just gets ridiculous, *You mah brotha mah lova, mah professor, mah husband mah baby mah teacher ILOVEYOUILOVEYOUILOVEYOUILOVVVVEEE YOUUUU! WHEN WE MAKE LOVE I CAN FEEL YOUR SOUL INSIDE OF ME YOU ARE SO PURE BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!*

All that wasn’t in the original song for a reason. It was about Romeo and Juliet and it was a haunting hollow song about pain and love. Not about how Beyonce like Jay Z and wants to upgrade him.

She’s pretty with a lovely voice and the bomb body, but some sh*t u don’t touch Mamacita. Sing about Freekum dresses and telling black men they are easily replaced in your oh so shallow way, and leave the songs with depth to the big gurls.

Des’ree’s song is/was classic and should have NEVER been touched by ANYONE especially Bey and her bland no personality having voice. Yes bey has lots of vocal tricks but I feel nothing from her when she sings. No it’s not hate bc I actually liked her b4 B’day. She is just overhyped, she’s boring, and she steals EVERYTHING from clothing, photo ideas, vid ideas, WHOLE songs, etc. She calls it “paying homage to” though smh. w/e She needs to take a break and get ORIGINAL.

She need to stick to her whack ass style, she sounds ridiculous for even attempting to do a song like this

Letmeletmeletmeletme DOWNGRADE UR SONG.

Beyonce Stans - i can easily without regret or jealousy admit she is very beautiful, i loved irreplaceable but that’s one song, the rest of her album was less than mediocre, that’s that.

& NO HELL NO even if she didn’t do that and tried to sing it word for word melody for melody, her voice still can’t CUT IT! gobble gobble gobble

I did say the original was better but come on, Bey’s voice has no personality? LOL!!!!! I bet none of you can even come close to singing the way she can. BTW, her voice on this song did show personality because she did not use as much vibrato, she gave an airy feel as to say loving you takes my breath away. That’s talent. Then with the bridge, she used her voice in cresendo which is techincial and classic singing and then back to the airy feel. She is talented as hell and is one of the premier vocalists of all time. And she is only 25. Imagine when her voice matures even more.

I also can’t understand why she couldn’t comply with Des’Ree wishes she didn’t ask for much. but what it does just put her in a bad light it makes it worse.Personally she wants to be an icon like Diana Ross SOOOOO bad she’s going to get her wish

By the way when some of you post on these blogs that stars don’t care best believe they do because if they didn’t guess what if Joe cheese ain’t buying their shit, money is not being made.Plus they have a greed for the spotlight,i’m assuming she didn’t re- release that album for artistic reasons?definitely made all the videos for Joe camel

I LOVE BEYONCE 2 DEATH, BUT DESIREE Sung it WAAY BETTER. Beyonce’s voice is comparable, but DESIREE PUT her FOOT DOWN when she sang it!

B TRULY can sing, but her songs have NO SUBSTANCE WHAT SO EVER. OMG. Dangerously in love was like her most MEANINGFUL song! Then maybe Irreplacable, or “Flaws and All”.

Wanna know one reason why artists try to remake songs? BECAUSE their own songs and lyrics LACK the POWER that old songs made u feel when u listened to them. Rappers know it, that’s y they sample ALL the DAMN TIME.

Bottomline: B stop doin dirty business, either build your vocabulary, and read more books so that you can MAKE music that actually talks about something OTHER than my man this, you girls in the club that.. blah blah..

OR

keep making bangin club hits, and women “anthems” and stick with that. But don’t try to steal good songs that truly talented women like DESIREE make from her SOUL!!

..And they try to tell US TO STOP STEALING MUSIC.

When THEY stop, then maybe I’LL STOP!! Lmao.. j/k.

I like Beyonce but Des’ree sung it better hands down. You can tell that Des’ree really meant every word she said as she evoked pain and love into the song which made it so beautiful.

beyonce hoewver was kinda mediocre or less than that when she sand the song. She sounded really nice at the beginning but it started to get ridiculous at this point:

You’re my father
you’re my soldier
you protect me, boy you save me
you’re my best friend
you’re my husband
you are my doctor, counselor,
provider, professor, my everything

And I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I love you
I need you, I need you, I need you, I can’t live without you
I trust you, I trust you, with every ounce of me
Just teach me, boy teach me, just take me

When we make love I can feel all your spirits
deep inside of me
Baby you’re so pure

that just basically spoilt such a pure and beautiful song. Des’ree deliberately didn’t put those extra words in the song becasue it isn’t needed as i’m sure she wanted to make the song simple but meaningful at the same time. Beyonce unfortunately doesn’t really do that. Her most emotionally good song was Dangerously In Love but her new albunm which i have, i dunno man, she doesn’t really connect with the music so much that you really do actally fell what she is saying. I think she should just stick to her girl anthems and really dancey songs cause that is what i think she is best at. Powerful songs however, she should just leave it to the more experienced and those with stronger voices.

Beyonce can sing, we all know that but whoever said that beyonce is one of the greatest premier singers of all time, SIT YO ASS DOWN!! that comment shocked me. beyonce is not on the same level as whitney, chaka, aretha, billie, patti, mariah, gladys or tina! even christina aguilera can become a one of the greatest singers if she chose better songs as she has such a beautiful voice.

by the way, i aint a beyonce hater, just disappointed by what she has done 2 des’ree concerning the way she sang and stole the song.

QUICK COMMENT…

Someone said something about beyonce uses her breast to sell albums and i was just addressing that. 1)If I buy a album i must like the music because you can not watch someone’s breast sing when i buy an album (maybe the video thing but not the actual album) 2)If you look good you look good. Now beauty is in the eye of the beholder and in society (not factual) beyonce looks better then dee. 3)If dee looked like beyonce she would probably do what beyonce does too. All in All if i buy a album I am buying to hear someone sing or rap not look at them because i can’t look at them through the cd. Maybe a megazine but not a cd.

Bey sings like a lil girl compared to Desree
Bey is a great artist,
but DAMN
u gotta go out and steal somebody music?
that shit was grimy
Desree aint even gettin the credit she deserve
its a damn shame
Bey aint got no emotion, no passion, no intensity
its dry as hell
i hate her version and i hate the fact that people gon think its her song
and those lyrics…
WACK!!!
Desree sounds poetic, while Bey sounds corny

The first version was beautiful on it’s own but Beyonce did kill it the second time around. I like them both.

i agree with 68. DivaKai. if it is true and beyonce did record the tracks WITHOUT getting the okay to release the song on her album, then she does need to pay Des’ree. that is only fair

Just pure ignorance,,,,,,who cares who sung it better, though I believe Des’ree did…..but the point is, the fake azz be”non” sing is always stealing other people’s shyt…and then everyone wants to diss Des’ree now, why cause she aint as popular as be”non’ sing, she doesn’t deserve respect???? she can’t tell the world that this chick stole from her and sue over her own shyt, are you all that brainwashed by Bee and this new way entertainers handle their business that you can’t see the forest for the trees….we seen it already with the original crew, and that whole situaion was handled, we saw how she released her album before Lotoya, we seen how all of a sudden she wants a bk nicca that knows how to get money three ways??? huh she knows nuthin about that…….she pirated ne-yo, now she pirating Des’ree, her poses are fake, her smile is fake, her interviewing skills suck, sounds uneducated, now she wants to be in a video with Shakira, cause GOD forbid a latino chick out hips her, can’t have that, so she has to be int he spotlight with Shakira…..I know I know all the fans are gonna say I’m hatin, I’m jealous, blah blah blah, ummmmmmm no, that’s old too, your girl is just a fraud and a phony and I think the fans better realize that early before u find out the truth and can’t handle it,,,,,,

Ok guys. I don’t think there’s any point to discussing which version is better. The point here is BEYONCE IS A MUSIC THIEF WHO THINKS SHE IS UNTOUCHABLE AND ABOVE EVERYBODY ELSE!!!!! SHE HAS NO REESPECT WHATSOEVER ABOUT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS — OR MAYBE JUST SIMPLY DOESN’T CARE! BEE — YOU DESERVE TO GO TO JAIL! For the record though: Des’ree’s definitely is better — no contest.
