Not a big fan of either versions but picking between the two I’d go for Beyonce’s BUT killed it she did not.

i like beyonce’s version better, but it’s hard to sing along to mario b/c i heard “can’t help but wait” first so i wanna sing the lyrics to that one lol, but beyonce killed it so i think it goes to her, i still like mario, this song just ain’t for him

Bey’s was better. I like Mario, but his version was a bit boring, plus I didn’t care for the Trey song’s beat with that song in Mario’s version. Bey just gives it a little more life especially towards the end of the song.

i was already bias when i saw this post i LOVE LOVE LOVE mario and beyonce has been gettn on my nerves lately so i was hoping that mario would win

but when i listened to it surprisingly i like beyonce’s version better

mario’s version is nice but i think i might have liked it better if it was to a diff beat im already attached to trey songz’ song so it was kinda hard listening to mario’s version when i was singing “Cant help but wait” in my mind…lol i wonder how the song would sound if mario did it on a different beat tho…

aww i feel bad for mario. i hope his next single blows up so we can get his album already. i like his stuff but i would rather him stay an R&B artist like on his very first album. That hip-hop type mess was terrible on 18. But ILL SUPPORT U MARIO! =)

i liked both.

but beyoncita put a little sumthing in it. both did a great job

Well……..I think I am going 2 have to go with Beyonce hands down, but Mario did good as well. I am just a fan of Beyonce’s verison!!!!!

you ready B!!!!!!

Beyonce, all day. Mario’s version sounds rehashed… like I heard it before.

I love Mario’s version…but may have alot to do with him singing over Trey Songz music, but I still like it…B is so full of drama and I am tired of her stretching out every single note…JUST SING THE DAMN SONG ALREADY!

Both versions were nice. I like the vocal arrangement Bee had and I like the smooth r&b flavor that Mario had too.

Both versions gave the song a different spin but I think i have to go with Mario on this one.

Mario, hands down!

Beyonce’s version had more emotion and passion ……liked it the best.

I like em both…..Beyonce is starting to sound the same….so I think I will give it to Mario!

i like beyonce version ,mario verison seems like he is tryin

the mario version makes me mad i just keep wanna hearing cant help but wait. i keep on compairing it to trey songz n mario simply doesnt compare. Beyonce’s version is extra but that’s just her n i love her so i love the song

Neither did it for me… Bey’s too dramatic for my taste and Mario’s was so-so

Question- has supload changed its policy from downloading music? I logged in and tried to find that Fabolous Cant Let You Go and got nothing

beyonce sound soooooooooooooooooooo gud on that track she should of had that on her b-day album !!!!!!!!!!

beyonce is growing more wack by the day…an example of that is putting her ass on justin’s song. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a female over sing on someone elses song like that before. She damn near yelling OOOoooOOooOOoOOoo yeah! O hell nah! But then again everyone was complaining about females yelling on tracks but seems like it caught on. Mario’s got more emotion in his version.. holla

joe.. beyonce didnt even yell on that song .. you just dont like her !!!!!!!!!!

I like Marios…even though when an instrumental is used twice if both songs are current

i figured majority of the ppl on here wouls say beyaki only because its her. i dnt like neither version. beyaki brings nothing new to the game still dnt see the hype about this chick, but shes fucking ugly ass jayz.

Love bey’s version, so dramatic, thanks CL, I have this on heavy repeat now!!

Mario, tho I like him as an artist, he doesn’t have that “spark”

not even going to listen and I’m gonna go with Mario. I feel for him and everything has gone through with his career and his drug addicted mother. Been over Beyonce. I love Mario because he is such a strong man and he has great voice. He has a lot of style so he has my heart. Team Mario!

The lyrics to this is whack as hell. Beyonce’s version is better I think- maybe if Mario hadn’t sung it on Trey Song’s beat.

I have to say Beyonce only because I’ve been listening to her version for a long time now. It just sounds weird to here Mario sing it.

The crazy thing is that he is singing to the Trey Songz beat.

^^ here = hear

benonsense please…i like some of her songs..but she is too damn extra. i like mario’s version it’s clean and simple….nice vibe

Beyonce is way better. Beyonce sings with emotions and the emotions brings life to the lyrics. you believe she really talking to someone Mario’s is just flat

i love the lyrics but in my opinion the song is boring. But i think beyonce hands down killed it on the vocals even though it sounds like the same old beyonce’ ,her vocal arrangements, harmonies, adlibs are always on point. Gotta give it to my girl. Go bee - but take a break boo. Im tired of hearing new beyonce songs sadly. And im a big fan.

MARIO!!! 4 SURE!!! It’s way better…

In my opinion, Beyonce won this one.
She sang it first, so it seems more original to me.
Mario’s version, although ok, seems too much like a cover of Beyonce’s version, plus its done over a beat already associated with a great song.
So, yeah.. Beyonce!

Im not feeling either of the songs.

mario’s

I have to go with my girl Bey!

Once I heard Trey Songz can’t help but wait beat on Mario’s version, I gotta give
it to Bey!

mario’s version is better.

Mario Sang that song. Beyonce’s voice sounds to shakey, and weird.
Mario you win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY IS THIS A DISCUSSION..BEYONCE

The song is kinda wack but Mario did it. Some times less is more, as usual, Beyonce over sings the song.

I dont like the song but if I had to pick, I’d pick Mario’s version

That boy Mario did justice to the tune. Beyonce’s version was annoying. Nothing new ..

Don’t care for either but Mario’s would probably grow on me while B’s would make my head hurt.

I am feeling Beyonce’s version the most…she sang it with the most feeling

Both versions were great, but I’m going with Beyonce on this.

Im going to go with Beyonce. Her version is much more dramatic. Like u could actually see a video with her version. Nothing against Mario’s version, but I think that type of song cant be sung over such a “dance pop” beat.

Come on People, this is a hands down. BEYONCE of course!

Mario’s sounds empty like something is missing. I don’t like when Beyonce’s goes to the chorus and begins to sound all contemporary. I like neither. It’s a draw.

Mario Killed It Hands Downs! Bey makes the song seem depressing and Mario brings life in the song.

This ain’t even a question. Beyonce won this by 100000 miles! That girl stay killing everybody in the game! She is the Queen! Love u Bey!

Mario’s version is a smoother version…in real life terms…Beyonce can sing but she over does it

Maaaaaario! Bey is so predictable to me. you can always tell when she’s about to build up to the climax in a song. I liked the R&B feel to Maario’s! lol

Judging by the votes Beyonce won this by a manslide. Everybody had this ish in their ipod wayyy before Mario tried to sing it. I agree with whoever said that Mario should never try to do a Beyonce song. Nobody should ever try to do a Beyonce song. Can’t nobody else do what she do she stands alone. Keep making them hits Bee!

Why Does the song sound just like Trey Songz - cant Help but wait???

Mario version sound better. B sound kind of boring

umm i like both, but i am a lil biased and gon go wit beyonce since i had her version for like months..

beyOncE kiiLLeD iiT hAnD’Sz dOwn!!!!!
but evry1 qOttA liiSteN tO MaRiO’Sz sOnq ‘No DeFiniTiOn’ dAtt iiSz wUtt yU kAll a SONG!!!

I would have to say Mario’s version sounds better. I still love you Bey!!!!!!!

B murdered Mario on this track and i love Mario but B puts feeling behind her lyrics…plus it was hard to hear Mario’s version with the background track being “can’t help but wait” by trey songz all i kept hearing was that and that song fits that track betta anyways….okay those are my long drawn out thoughts but just incase there’s any question B’s version definately won hands down

I LOVE BEYONCE, BUT I THINK MARIO’S VERSION WILL GET MORE RADIO PLAY. SORRY B..

I guess since I’ve heard the beat from Trey Songs, it takes away from Mario’s version.

Beyonce blows this song away! I stan for her!

hmm after thinking it was just cuz im used to the lyrics of trey songz take on this beat that i like his better …. im thinking thats not the reason.. Trey’s lyrics flow better on this track it just fits like a glove in my opinion.

I like Beyonce’s IF better… sounds more fitting - the lyrics and the music.

Didn’t Johnta Austin write ‘can’t help but wait’? thought i read that somewhere

B’s version sounds kinda like Rihanna’s unfaithful!
I don’t know why….LOL!
Mario just shows how he can go toe to toe with the top Artist out.
I think Mario needs a different background or beat cuz that beat he got is on another 1 of his songs and doesn’t really fit to me.
I like both! But I think I like B’s more just cuz its Bey. But Mario’s is good as well because he sounds more mature.

My bad that was Trey’s background/beat from his song. I knew I heard it b4! LOL
Yeah don’t use that same beat please! I luv Trey’s song way better!
B is so dramatic…I can see the video instantly when listening to a Beyonce track because her performance really paints the picture in my head…great vocal! I happy that she is in the zone but I mad cuz she gonna be out again next year with a album…I just think its too much but i guess when your hot your hot!

4 some reason I like bee version betta, that’s interesting…………….

Bee is getting on my nerves, her version does sound like a melodrama.
I mma go with M A R I O.
next thing you know they’ll be singing together.

It’s crazy from a music stand point cause I know the songwriter is pissed… they want there joint on the radio not on the blogs. It’s also funny how the melodies of “Can’t Help But Wait” have Mario locked in so that both songs sound so much alike just based on the tracks melodies… Both are cool…

Hands Down mario did better….Beyonce made me wanna pull my hair out with all that damn crying!!

[...] act has been very frequent lately. Aside from Curtis-in Jay’s other relationship, Beyonce jacked an unrealeased Mario song or even worse, now that I think about it… how Jigga swagger jacked Sean Price’s Brokest [...]

I Love Beyonce’s Voice there’s a beauty in it, but Mario he just takes my heart and run when he sings. Both version are good, its a good song hands down.

Ok I went back and listened to both versions of the song. I actually like Mario’s because he letting the song be the importance, and sometimes you have to do that. He’s not all yelling and screaming through the song he is actually singing the feeling of the song, and to me the song doesnt need any more vocal then what he gave. I love it Mario!

BEYONCE KILT IT, I LOVE HERS SHE ROCKED DAT!!!! MARIO ALL USED “I CANT HELP BUT WAIT” BEAT WITH THOSE WORDS WHICH SUCKS!!!!

BEYONCE ALL THE WAY!!!!!

I reall dont know???? they really good

I think mario sang it better beacause vocal he is much stronger than beyonce

MARIO SHOULD HAVE SANG TO A DIFFERENT BEAT AND MAYBE I WOULDNT HAVE BEEN SINGING THE SONG BY TREY SONGZ THE WHOLE TIME AND PAID MORE ATTENTION. BEYONCE..I SAY I DON’T LIKE HER TOO MUCH AS A PERSON FOR SOME REASON BUT SHE CAN SING..NOT JUST IN THE STUDIO AND IN PERSON..SO SHE GOT IT ON THIS ONE.
