♫ WHO SANG IT BETTER: RYAN VS. SHAREEFA ♫

Sunday, April 20, 2008

♫ RYAN LESLIE - DIAMOND GIRL

♫ SHAREEFA - DIAMOND GIRL

For this edition of ‘Who Sang It Better” we have Next Selection CEO Ryan Leslie and Disturbing the Peace singer Shareefa.

Some of you may remember Shareefa from her song “I Need A Boss” a couple years back. Her sophomore release, The Secret, is out later on this year and she used this song to speak on those rumors about her being dropped from Def Jam. Ryan Leslie, on the other hand, is best known for his work behind the scenes with Cassie and various other artists.

This chick is mad talented. I heard her first album and its has that feeling that R&B has been missing. She’s a little rough around the edges but if she leaves DTP I think she can be on Keyshia Cole’s level and Keyshia’s the shit right now.

i was actually surprised that i was into Shareffas first cd, she has a good voice, maybe if she had a little training, she would be the shit. she could be on keyshias level, and maybe someday theyll both be on marys level but they both would have to give me A LOT more hits to be on marys level.

Ryan Leslie, there’s no competition. His voice is better for this kind of intrumental.

It’s Ryan Leslie’s song! He wrote, produced and arranged the song; so does it really matter who remakes it….it’s still his. Honestly I’m tired of people remaking this song already! first it was 50 now it’s Shareffa, who sucks by the way. The real question should be: when will artist go back to being creative and innovative insted of sampling every damn thing. Come up with something new, its ur job as artist. Or else hip-hop really will die, seriously….

…oh yeah, Ryan leslie hands down! I love his voice and everything about him. He will be a great addition to the male R&B selection.

Ryan of course…..
So did she got dropped or not ?? I heard that she and Bobby V got dropped at the same day….

Shareefa ain’t even singing… she’s basically rapping over the track and is ain’t even on beat - that’s important people!

Ryan may not be the best singer you’ve ever heard, but he got this battle won hands down…

25.

I like Shareefa but I think Ryan’s voice goes better with the song…

You Think???

Sunday, April 20, 2008 /

RYAN BY FAR!!!!

I guess im most impressed just because he wrote, produced, sang, shoot, he did this song ALL BY HIMSELF..no help.

Ryan is such a great talent…i wish he would stop WASTING HIS TIME WITH NO TALENT CASSIE!!!!!!
He could be working with wwwaaayyy better artist, making more money, and gaining more respect…he gone let ASSIE make him look real dumb soon!!!
Let that girl go…lol

I really like the song period!!!

Both of them sing greatly! Both versions are phunky(in a good way)… Man… I love them both as artist, and I cannot wait to hear more material from them!

People need to give Ryan a chance… He’s on the come-up, and I don’t think he’s done enough to be judged on whether or not people see him as an artist. I hope he surprises the h*** out of everybody who’s doubtin’ him… GET OFF HIS JOCK(LET IT BREATHE)!!! Haterzzz

People need to get off Shareefa too. She has way more talent than a lot of these hatin’ a** hoes that are commenting on her. Take that haterzzz!!!

Thanks 21, Ryan sang it better hands down, it’s his song. Even if it wasn’t I’d still like if he sang it. Like others said, her voice is too rough for this.

SHAREEFA FIT THE RECORD BY FAR BETTER…..BUT I LIKE TO NEW DUDE WILLY NORTHPOLE ON THE TRACK WITH SHAREEFA. HE MADE IT THAT MUCH BETTER THAN THE RYAN VERSION. HANDS DOWN

Only up to the artist to push themselves above the bar.The record label can only do so much.The rest is up to the consumer since we have the power to overlook “products” we don’t need.People put too much responsibility in the label and it doesn’t go like that.She has to market herself.Create her own buzz.A Label is just a label.I like both of them though.

Woah for a sec there I thought she had the ridiculous D woods haircut.

I like her version just because I find it easier to sing-a-long too, but I think it still sounds a bit rough in spots.

Wow, I’m looking at the comments and not one comment mentioned the fact that she did someone else’s song. Yes, she can sing, but why someone else’s song and a well known song at that. I prefer Ryan Leslie’s song for the simple fact that it fit his voice, and he creates his own songs. I think it’s just tacky for a “talented” singers to re-record another artists track! Shareefa needs to do her thing and keep recording songs that fit her voice.

Shareefa murdered that track. FYI its not like she is trying to steel his song she just took it and flipped it because she can do that and it sounds better!!!!!!!!!

I know this is old…but i wanted to add my few cents. I’m diggin both, but Ryan’s is the better track. I’ve seen the video on YouTube and its on point as well. Shareefa has an amazing voice but on this track it feels more like a mix tape effort rather than a single.

GOD DONT LIKE UGLY!! “what comes around goes around”, She wont be successful until she do right by that dude that BELIEVED n her FIRST & introduced her to TEDDY RILEY, and the rest of the industry. JASMINE SULLIVAN, is the NEW SHAREEFA/ LAURYN HILL
