WHO SANG IT BETTER: BEYONCE VS. BRANDY

Thursday, September 24, 2009

BEYONCE - SLOW LOVE
BRANDY - SLOW LOVE

Two female singers, both with huge fan bases seemed to have recorded the same song, which has caused a slightly heated debate online on whether or not one is better than the other.

Beyonce’s version of the track, “Slow Love,” produced by Stargate, leaked a couple of weeks ago, and shortly after, a version with Brandy’s vocals surfaced.

In my opinion, the song isn’t all that great enough for this to even be an issue. The song seems a little hollow, and unfinished, hence why both ladies left it off of their albums, I Am… Sasha Fierce and Human, which are both out in stores.

I’m feelin’ Brandy’s vocals on this particular song. Beyonce’s stans are gonna flood that poll of course. Anyway, both women are amazingly talented.

Ughh this song is not all that. lol

For those that don’t know……….. Brandy is a singers singer! She is dope, Her tone is CRAZY!!! She is a singer that REAL and Aspiring singers listen to when they want to be Inspired. Some may disagree but Brandy is the truth. Go listen to that Afrodisiac Album!

Beyonce is great, don’t get me wrong but they have two totally different voices.
Just because an artist doesn’t have Crazy Marketing and Promotion, dosen’t mean they don’t have a fan base. (i.e. Amel Larrieux, Jill Scott……you get my point)

Trust!!!

As soon as Brandy’s version came on I knew it was better! Beyonce’s version sounded boring and lazy…Don’t get it twisted Brandy was the original “IT” girl. It’s sad that the industry just moves on to the next and tries to forget but her talent is undeniable! The tone was perfect, emotions were there and the Ad libs were on point! Thats for the people that real music…There’s a reason why the 90’s had better music they had better talent!

The song suits Brandy IMO. It is just hard to deny Beyonce with her powerful vocals.

THESE ARE MY 2 FAVORITE ARTIST…I THINK THEY BOTH DID THE SONG JUSTICE….BEY DID SOME PARTS BETTER WHILE BRANDY DID OTHER PARTS BETTER….BRANDYS IS JUST A DEMO SO I DONT KNOW IF ITS HER BEST RENDITION OF THE SONG….IF I HAD TO CHOOSE I WOULD SAY BEYONCE SUNG THE SONG BETTER….BUT BRANDY WILL ALWAYS BE MY FIRST LOVE WHEN IT COMES TO MUSIC…HER VOICE IS FUCKING CRAZY….I JUST RE BROUGHT “NEVER SAY NEVER” ON ITUNES YESTERDAY.

Even though Beyonce is the better singer, Brandy’s voice fits better imo. I can hear the sincerity. But Bey killed it…..well I guess it’s more of a tie

I agree, as soon as I heard Brandy’s voice, I knew she had it. I didn’t really feel the song when Beyonce was singing it but Brandy’s version had my head bobbin’. Both talented ladies but Brandy all the way.

Man,I’m a huge Brandy fan but Beyonce sang this better than my girl.I love how Beyonce belted it out.But I look forward to both of their albums.

Thursday, September 24, 2009 /

THE BRANDY VERSION DIDNT SOUND FINISHED OR MASTERED…THE BEYONCE VERSION HAD MORE POWER BEHIND IT BUT LIKE I SAID BRANDYS WAS JUST A DEMO WHILE BEYONCES COULD HAVE BEEN A POSSIBLE TRACK….MAYBE THATS WHY THE BEYONCE VERSION SOUNDED BETTER TO ME.

@ #16

I agree, her voice did fit it better yet Beyonce killed the song…in a good wat. :)

BEYONCE DID IT HER VOICE IS AMAZING LISTEN HOW BEYONCE ADDS HER VOICE TO THE TRACK, BEYONCE IS CRAZY THE THINGS SJE DOES WITH HER VOICE. BEYONCE HAS THE EMOTION HER VOICE . BRANDY’S IS NOT BAD BUT IT’S HARD TO DO A SONG AFTER BEYONCE

24.

Sorry @ #1, let’s not forget who started it all in this genre: Brandy, Monica, and Aaliyah (R.I.P.). Brandy will ALWAYS have fans. Not sure how old you are.

I think both ladies sound great voice-wise. I think the SONG itself is a lil boring for either one. It does have PRODUCTION that is more Brandy’s speed.

I agree with #14. They each had parts where the other sounds better. I always love the who sang it better poll.

Obvious Truth

This is clearly sang better by Beyonce. Her vocals are more powerful although Brandy’s version is really good aswell.

30.

HONESTLY???

Thursday, September 24, 2009 /

UH….I NEVA HEARD ABOUT THIS “HEATED DEBATE” UNTIL U POSTED THIS. AND OF COURSE BRIAN A.K.A. “MRS. BEYONCE” WOULD MAKE IT SEEM THAT WAY LOL………..

THE SONG IS PRETTY BORING ANYWAY…

Brandy’s better for this song….
Beyonce’s the better singer.

It’s all opinion so there’s no need to call people out. It’s not gonna make u guys right. I’m pretty sure Beyonce & Brandy ditched the song for reason…

34.

KEEP IT 100

Thursday, September 24, 2009 /

BEYONCE SLAYS NO ONE VOCALLY. SHE IS OVERRATED AND SOUNDS LIKE CRAP WITHOUT ALL HER ECHOES TO MAKE HER VOICE SOUND BIGGER THAN IT IS. SHE SINGS WITH NO EMOTION. SHE IS HOLLOW INSIDE. A PURE BORE. BRANDY’S VOICE IS A GOD GIVEN INSTRUMENT THAT SHE KNOWS JUST HOW TO USE TO MAKE YOU FEEL EVERY NOTE OF A SONG. HER VOICE IS AMAZING.
BRANDY IS THE CLEAR CHOICE AND SHE DOESN’T NEED TO POP HER COOCH AND HAVE 100 DANCERS ON STAGE. JUST BRANDY AND A MIC AND SHE KILLS IT. LET BEYONCE TRY THAT AND SHE WOULD BORE ME TO TEARS. SHE NEEDS HYPE. SHE NEEDS ECHOES. SHE NEEDS WIND MACHINES. SHE NEEDS BACK UP DANCERS. SHE NEEDS TO BE HALF NAKED. ALL BECAUSE SHE IS NOT ALL THAT WHEN IT COMES TO SINGING.
BRANDY HANDS DOWN.

The song doesn’t sound as boring when Brandy sings it. I like her vocals on this track much better, and not to mention I love the tone of her voice anyway..

I love that brandy is winning. I’m the biggest beyonce fan but before her there was beyonce there was brandy monica and the late aaliyah and there music was golden i hope brandy can rise again as well as monica there music was my childhood

First, the production on the song is lackluster at best. Nothing really stands out about the track so the vocalists had to do all the work to even give the track a faint pulse. Secondly, I think Brandy did a better job. Those are the types of tracks she’s been singing to for the last few albums. I wish she would go back to the type of tracks from her first 2 albums. They definitely had way more soul. However, I still am a fan and have all her albums. I love Beyonce as a vocalist as well, she has a real gift.

Brandy sung the song way better. Beyonce’s got boring after a while. They both are great but this one goes to Brandy. Her voice is amazing.

You gotta respect them both but have to agree with that comment made earlier Brandy’s voice is completely god given she was meant to use that thing to sing with, with out a doubt. thats just me though

I LOVE THIS GAME

Thursday, September 24, 2009 /

B-fake is not a good singer , please she sound’s bad , Brandy is way beyond her Male like voice .

BEYONCE CAN NOT SING . HER southern TAXES accent COME’S IN , AND SHE’ sounds JUST AWFUL , horrible .. my ear’s hurt . stop

That manner of pronunciation of English is just WRONG . She sounds like a Donkey .

B-FAKE needs Voice Lessons .

B-fake hurt’s my ear’s .

This is Crazy B & brandy are my favorite to artist I didn’t like B version when it leak like a month ago.. But I just downloaded brocka version a couple of minute ago in already love it.. So I’ll give this one to miss brandy

Thursday, September 24, 2009 /

Brandy sung it better! 2 completely different voices….I mean Beyonce is definitely an awesome singer. But BRANDY! my God, something about her voice that is just so sincere and always gives me chills.

Beyonce just has a very strong voice, and knows how to use it…But IMO Brandy overall is just the better SINGER!

46.

fucj that

Thursday, September 24, 2009 /

well they both did good but Beyonce took this 1. Brandy sounds a lil nervous and she couldnt hit the notes and her add lips were a bit much for the song. Beyonce’s voice was like water on this just smooth and pure. and Beyonce made me feel the song Becus its a wack song. Brandy’s just sounds like she singing just to sing. but it looks like Brandy is taking the poll so IDK. I feel Beyonce’s is better.

47.

BRANDY OWNS THIS SONG!
SHE DIDNT HAVE TO SCREAM ALL THAT EXTRA SHIT LIKE BEYONCE.
SHE DID IT SO EFFORTLESSLY.
GIVE PROPS WHEN PROPS ARE DUE.
BRANDY IS FUKKING AMAZING AND BEYONCE CANT COME FOR HER IN THE SINGING THE DEPARTMENT.
EVERYTHING BEYONCE CAN DO VOCALLY, BRANDY CAN DO IT…BETTER!

I LOVE THIS GAME

Thursday, September 24, 2009 /

I AM A BEYONCE HATER. I COME ON EVERY BEYONCE POST EVEN THOUGH I DONT LIKE HER AND SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE. I HAVE NO LIFE. ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS WHAT TO SAY NEXT ABOUT BEYONCE. I DONT KNOW WHY I DONT LIKE HER. SHE HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO ME. WATCH. I WILL BE BACK LATER TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE NEGATIVE. A BEYONCE HATER.

I’m a HUGE Brandy fan but she is no competition for Beyonce. I’m no Beyonce stan by any means. Half the time I can’t stand her but you can’t deny her talent. Her voice just sounds good no matter what she sings. Thus, I like her version better.

50.

I LOVE THIS GAME

Thursday, September 24, 2009 /

I VOTED FOR BRANDY 400 TIMES IN THE POLL JUST BECAUSE I DONT LIKE BEYONCE YET I THINK ABOUT HER SO MUCH AND I AM ALWAYS ON HER POST. I NEED A HOBBY.

@53
Beyonce hitted high notes but yet her version is bland and emotionless.
Brandy didn’t do much and she still shitted on Beyonce’s version effortlessly.

That’s the measure of a true singer..when they can just do it effortlessly without all of the extras. Brandy is that singer. Her voice is beautiful.

this song is meant for brandy.

beyonce doesnt sing slower tempo songs well. when beyonce sang this you can hear she didnt like the song. there was no emotion.

brandy has a raspy voice so it sounds good and she has more emotion and make the listener want to listen to the whole song.

i couldnt even listen to the whole song with beyonce singing it. brandy also has range. so does beyonce but brandy takes it there.

beyonce sounds flat and stale. brandy has volume and body in her voice.

Friday, September 25, 2009 /

whoever picked beyonce is crazy!!!! her version was sooooo boring and she held back too much. i love bey,but brandy killed this!!!! i’m in agreement to #9….Brandy is the person that REAL singers listen to when they look for inspiration (i.e. full moon,afrodisiac and even human)….ya’ll gettn too caught up in the glitz and not paying attention to the real vocals and who has a better EAR for music! Brandy’s adlibs,bckground, runs….everything is crazy! imagine if it was mastered?????

BRANDY, shut it DOWN! There is no question about it. Beyonce may be high above her pears for putting on a great show, but Vocally Brandy’s sultry tone was servin her. Brandy snatched her wig. “I didn’t try to pull it off, I just wanted to shift it.”—– Sheree Whitfield.
