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!

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.

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.

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

HONESTLY???

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.

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

Jay

Thursday, September 24, 2009 /

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.

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 .

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 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.

Brandy didn’t do much and she still shitted on Beyonce’s version effortlessly.

Friday, September 25, 2009 /

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.

Its simple to hear that Brandy was the better fit for this song. She sings with passion and complete control. Not that Beyonce was bad, the song just didnt fit her as well. Brandy filled the song with nice background vocals and great adlibs through-out. A true artist takes a song and makes it their own and thats what Brandy has done once again on this track. Thumbs up to my girl Bran Bran…good job!

yall real stupid if you think that beyonce crushed brandy in this song??!?!? are you serious??? beyonce can sing but all the vibrato and yelling gets annoying after a while beyonce sounds her best on the I am portion of her cd because shes not yelling but she still hits the notes….now her and my favorite singer of all time have recorded the same song and Brandy shut beyonce down….just because brandy didnt go as high as beyonce on some parts doesnt mean she didnt sing it well…her runs and ad lips are not to be fucked with!!!! IMO this is proof that the talent still lays with the singers in the 90s….especially brandy and monica…beyonce dont want it with neither 1 of those two……but beyonce can sing tho!!!

True

Friday, September 25, 2009 /

I don’t think that people are saying Brandy’s version is better because she is the underdog. I give Bey her props when they are due but the fact is that Beyonce is not going to sound good on every type of song she sings as most of her fans would like for people to believe. I listened to Beyonce’s song when it leaked and hated it. Brandy simultaneously brings forth a certain sexiness and tenderness that compliments the song very well and then you top it off with her signature ad-libs and she takes this song to a different level.

There is no need to even argue though because we all know who sang it better. The proof is right here. Had Beyonce totally murdered Brandy in this post do you all actually think her fans would let the opportunity to relish in it slide by. The answer is HELL NO! The comments would be at about 1million by now….and you can take that to the bank.

You got to be 1 deaf f@g if you honestly think Beyonce’s version is better than Brandy’s. Admit it! Brandy shit all over you fave! I bet you thought you’d never see the day where Beyonce and Brandy recorded the same song huh? This is proof that Brandy is a vocal beast w/o even screaming. Beyonce got her nappy lacefron snatched from B’rocka!!

BRANDY! I don’t care if my comment is all the way at the bottom, I have to come in here and rep for Brandy.

Of course Beyonce is going to get the majority of votes, but I’m proud of those who came in here and told the truth.

I like Beyonce’s version, I listened to hers first and figured that there was no way Brandy could out do what she did, cause the song was already boring. However, when I listened to Brandy’s verison, I was wondering why she didn’t put this on her album. From the first beat Brandy was on it!

Let’s not get marketing and hype confused w/ what it’s all about! I can watch Beyonce perform all day, but when it comes to listening to her albums I’m not really that impressed - they lose a lot of their flavor unless you can see her perform on stage - that’s why I buy her concert DVD’s and not her albums.

Beyonce's Weakness

Friday, September 25, 2009 /

Beyonce has a great voice and everything she sings sounds great. What I find is when she sing her voice lack soul, sincerity, deep passion. Not because she is not trying, it’s just not coming through. Someone who does not have Beyonce’s beautiful tone, but has the soul to it, always sound better singing the same song. I love Beyonce vocal and her performances are most outstanding, but her voice never makes me feel like crying or feel emotionally connected. I think that is why she does more dance songs… it suit her better.

97.

Who Cares?

wow talk about clahs of the titans! its a hard one but ima have to give it to Brandy, as other people have said he tone is incredible

Forgot to say Brandy had more passion in her voice even when sang the song in it’s begining phase.

Brandy has what’s best known as a loyal fan base, not necessarily a large one.

Beyonce’s fan base is going to disappear and soon as the next young thing comes along that can pop her coochie faster and harder than Beyonce’, while singing and dancing.

Brandy did this one for me .. You can hear the emotion in this chicks voice. Beyonce has no emotion behind her voice. Brandy was once the it girl back in the 90s and yes I was a fan. Beyonce is to damn overrated in everytjing she does. And her voice is very overly done. Yeah she can sing, but singing with real feelings, she just doesnt do it for me. Thats my opinion on this one.

Brandy.

Her tone is on point for the beat behind her. Beyonce is coming off too hard/strong. It’s a “slow” song with a nice beat no need to come off that dramatic.

I think Beyonce should try the opera because she over dramatizes her voice/tone on pretty much everything…. Which is okay but it has to fit the song.

While the song isn’t even that interesting and tends to drag throughout, I agree with a lot of the comments above. Brandy’s vocals have a warm and sensual tone that is suited to a song about “Slow Love”.

Brassy and big doesn’t necessarily mean better. Just my opinion.

Brandy is the better singer on this song. I listened to her version first then I listened to Beyonce’s. Beyonce is a great performer, but Brandy is a better singer. Brandy is natural. Beyonce version was sort of forced and lacked emotion.

I feel sorry for her stans such a shame who would do their fans like that just to sell records. It is plain to see her fans are out of controll I never in the history of the world seen anything like this(sick stans) that shit is not normal anyway snap out of it.As far as the songe when it came to Beyonce I could not get past 30 seconds same with Brandy just a boring song.

i like both brandy and beyonce but people have to remember its EVERYONE’S INDIVIDUAL OPINION OF WHO THEY THINK SUNG IT BETTER, i just like beyonce’s better but that dont take away from brandy…brandy stans you cant force people to like brandy’s better..they like what they like and everyone dont hear angels when brandy open her mouth to sing, GEESH,GOODNESS..its their ears let them take it how they want..if everybody thought brandy voice is music to the soul they would have brought her last album!

131.

Brandy all the way, couldn’t get past a few seconds of hearing beyonces version, she not only lacks emotion, but i’m not feeling the way she sings period… beyonce lacks soul, when it comes to singers like Brandy and Monica and even Aaliyah (R.I.P) beyonces not touching them singers from that 90’s era. You had to have real talent back then to get a record deal… Brandy can sing love her voice. beyonces so OVERRATED and her stans are sick what is wrong with them, why can’t they enjoy her and her music without being so satanic, only her stans act like this their like crazy and derranged or somethin mental institution type stans she has lol….

Friday, September 25, 2009 /

im one of those loyal brandy fans! it saddens me that her music doesnt get the recognition it deserves. shes consistent and thats something so many “artists” lack these days.
i will say, however, i didnt care too much for her last album.

i can understand why so many people are “against” beyonce. the industry has been oversaturated with her presence.
1. theyre going to do that when the person has “the look” whatever that is and, no matter how wholesome, most artists lend themselves to that.
2. BUT, the girl CAN sing and theres no denying that no matter how sick of her you are. an echo is not going to help someone who cant sing,SORRY.

both girls are talented and have two completely different styles so why are we comparing apples and oranges. the artists themselves hate being compared so why do we continue to do it?

each has their place and their fan base AND (omg) you can be a fan of BOTH

people are a trip trying to start some R&B beef,lol

I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT IN MY OPINION, BRANDY SANG IT BETTER, NOT WAAAY BETTER, BUT SHE DID. I THINK BRANDY’S RASPINESS AND SOUL COMBINATION JUST SOUNDED BETTER FOR THE SONG. BLACK FOLKS….. BEYONCE ISN’T GREAT AT EVERYTHING. I SEE ALOT OF DEBATES ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL BEYONCE IS, SHE IS WITH SHE GLAMMED UP , BUT WITHOUT IT, SHE JUST REGULAR PERSON WITH A NICE BODY, JUST LIKE A THOUSAND OTHER WOMEN. I WOULDN’T CONSIDER HER AS WHAT THEY SAY “THE DIMPIECE” BECAUSE SHE HAS SO MANY ADD ONS. CLOSE UP SHE HAS ” NASAL LABIAL FOLDS” FOR THOSE WHO AREN’T FAMILIAR WITH THAT TERM, THOSE ARE WHAT WE CALL ” PARENTHESES” STARTED FROM THE END OF YOUR NOSE AND CURVE DOWN AROUND THE MOUTH. I GUESS BEAUTY IS DIFFERENT FROM WHERE I’M FROM, WE HONOR NATURAL BEAUTIFUL, WOMEN WHO HAVE THEIR NATURAL HAIR, WOMEN THAT CAN WEAR THEIR HAIR IN A PONYTAIL WITH NO MAKEUP AND STILL BE BEAUTIFUL. I HARDLY SEE THAT IN AMERICA, MEN OBESSED OVER WOMEN WHO IS MOSTLY MADE UP, PLASTIC SURGERY UP. I WANT TO SEE THESE SAME WOMEN CANDID, WITH THEIR REAL HAIR PULL BACK(NO GEL, RELAXER, PERM OR STRAIGHTEN COMB),, WITH A T-SHIRT AND JOGGING PANTS. I GURANTEE IT WONT BE NO OOOH AND AHHH. THIS IS CLEARLY THE REAL PERSON. THIS IS NOT A HATE MESSAGE EITHER, BECAUSE I LOVE BEYONCE, BUT I’M NOT ONE OF THOSE FANS WHO JUST SAY THEY LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER , BECAUSE THEY A FAN, I ‘M A FAN THAT WILL ALSO SAY IF I DIDN’T LIKE SOMETHING, THATS WHAT A TRUE FAN OR EVEN A ‘ REAL ” FRIEND WOULD DO” NOT KISS QUOTE ON QUOTE SOMEBODY BEHIND. BLACK MEN AND WOMEN STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO BEYONCE AND ANY OTHER BLACK ARTIST, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THEM . i HEAR ME SAY, SHE THINGS LIKE “DHE DON’T LOOK BETTER THAN BEYONCE” AND KINDS OF IGNORANCE, AND MANY TIMES, THE MEN ARE WRONG, THESE FEMALES ACTUALLY DO LOOK BETTER , BUT THE MEN ARE COMPARING THEIR GIRLFRIENDS OR WIVES TO THE MADE UP BEYONCE, NOT THE REGULAR BEYONCE, WHICH IS LETS KEEP IT REAL “PLAIN” NOTING EXOTIC OR DIFFERENT ABOUT THE REGULAR BEYONCE. TAKE A LONG TRIP OVERSEAS, AND YOU’LL SEE REAL BEAUTY, FEMALES WHO WALK OUTSIDE WITH GREEN , GREY EYES, THEIR REAL HAIR, NO MAKEUP AND BEAUTIFUL, THATS WHEN YOU CAN SAY A CHICK IS A DIME, WHEN SHE BEAUTIFUL BEFORE THE MAKEUP. WHEN YOU WAKEUP, SHE STILL LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL, NOT WHEN SHE WAKE UP, AND YOU LIKE ” WHAT DA HELL”…LOL …… LOVE, PEACE, SELF-ESTEEM AND HAPPINESS

Lookswise…

Beyonce = Commercial (Round face, girl next door pretty)

Brandy = High Fashion (Exotic and Interesting beauty)

Brandy Slays

Singing wise….

Beyonce = Good singer (Has power but lacks emotion and tone)

Brandy = Great Singer (Has tone and emotion but lacks power; but she also has supreme novelty with runs/adlibs)

Brandy Slays….Again

If Brandy was as bigger than beyonce, ya’ll wold say Bey version is better. It’s no point arguing this. We already know bey is a better vocally. Seems like people are not being objective vocallist. Beyonce is not a true singer? Um get on you tube and watch some clips. I can hear all the insecurity spewing out of people’s mouths. I can tell 99.9 of the people who are judging are tone death and can’t sing or can sing a bit and can’t figure out why they ain’t making it. Beyonce give vocally, dance wise, and business wise. Once upon it was brandy. Once upon a time it was Diana Ross. So that who was hear first argument is nonsense. There will always be someone new.

U CAN TELL SHE WAS RAISED IN CHURCH AND WAS A PREACHER’S KID. HER VOICE LITERALLY TOUCHES MY SOUL AND MAKES ME WANNA CRY. I SAID THE SONG HAD TO GROW ON ME WHEN BEE SANG IT BEFORE, BUT WITH BRANDY I LIKED INSTANTLY.

LatinVocals

Friday, September 25, 2009 /

Brandy’s vocal techniques & even tone wise r way stronger & unique compared 2 Beyonce which made the song sound boring IMO, Brandy have better lead melismas, tone projection, control, breathing & harmonies than yonce the only thing yonce has over bran is vibratto but then again Bran has the best Tremolo technique, some people luv brans raspy texture as well ( not me) yonce has a clearer/dynamic tone but doesnt sound as engelic & soulful as brandy, yonces runs & adlibs sounds very common r&b/pop & bran’s runs are def more Gospel/African influential … over all the song is horrible but Bran sang it better … period.punto.

I am loving this…because Brandy is my favorite singer in the world, and I am a huge fan and respector of Beyonce, her artistry, and live shows as well… So to have a side by side comparison (which I never do because they are sooooooooo different) is wild. I have to say tho with respect to both ladies that Brandy owns this song. It’s a better fit for her and I am definitely feeling her version more. The song ISN’T that great, but Brandy definitely captivates me on this one with her vocals, the harmonies on the background…and then the ad libs she chose on the chorus that take the background arrangement to another level. Brandy all the way on this one.

169.

Benaiah

Friday, September 25, 2009 /

…….PS, Brandy DOES have a large fan base still. Brandy’s fans have grown with her…and she’s gained a host of fans that consist of real vocalists and musicians that REALLY get what Brandy does vocally, her understanding of music, and her contribution to the industry. Even though SOME people sleep on Brandy’s gift, I for one as a vocalist can’t imagine the game or MY music life without her presence.

OKAY, I know this is my third comment…but I felt the need to say a lot of the stuff said about Beyonce up here is just ridiculous…and the fact of the matter is that a lot of the people that feel that Beyonce’s vocals lack emotion or depth will probably never sit and watch a Beyonce dvd or check her out in concert and be totally blown away and proven wrong….They’re probably just going by what Jamie Foxx’s character Curtis said to Beyonce’ AS DENA JONES in Dream Girls…lol. But don’t let Beyonce’s commercial appeal fool you…she’s got dimensions vocally and is an amazing entertainer…she takes you there…and not just with dancing or catchy hooks. She takes you there in every way at her shows…

I still like Brandy’s version of this song better…demo or not.

I, for one, would never deny that Beyonce is a captivating entertainer and vocalist in her own right. The issue is not about who is the best singer of all time. The post says WHO SANG IT BETTER. The IT being the song SLOW LOVE. Whether one thinks Beyonce is vocally superior to Brandy is irrelevant. Brandy sang this particular song better. SORRY BEY STANS but it’s the truth! The song is SO Brandy anyway and the fact that it sounds like a demo and it is still better than Beyonce’s only proves this point.

Whoever said that Brandy is a singer’s singer is absolutely correct. Someone with a real EAR for music can truly appreciate what Brandy does and NEWSFLASH PEOPLE BEYONCE IS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. Beyonce herself has stated that she loves the way that Brandy sings.

Just because they don’t like Beyonce’s music don’t mean they are insecure. WTF yall read too much into it. Nobody is jealous of Beyonce. If they like Brandy they like Brandy aint got nothing to do with being insecure. Yall try to find a reason as to why they don’t think Beyonce did better. Aint nothing wrong with these people. That don’t mean they crazy lol nobody said it was a fact its an opinion.

Um, I didn’t say they were insecure because they don’t like bey’s music. speak for yourself don’t say “nobody is jealous of Bey” because that is not true. I don’t like some songs Bey release now in days either. I have to admit brandy did sound bette on this song, because this song was too simple for Bey, so I was anticipating all that she could do.

@Latin Vocal

All that classical training is irrelevent to this. You called Bey singing screaming, but you said Brandy voice is more gospel. Have you ever been to a black church. We sing from the soul. It could get loud. We like that. You need to watch more Bey footage. better yet More gospel footage. I love Brandy’s older albums. The last one was all this soft pop that I was not feeling. Bey is a better vocalist IMO

Beyaki looks about 40 in this pic. She doesn’t need to do the natural look. She is definitely NOT a natural beauty. She looks good only in heavy tranny makeup! Ewww she will age terribly! Good thing she has already started doing her little nips and tucks.
Someone said they buy her performance DVD’s and not her CD’s. You are correct! Beyaki is good to watch on stage but listening to all that dramatic screeching and yelling gets annoying after a while (sorry stans but the whole world doesn’t love Beyaki).
I would rather listen to Brandy’s CD over that I AM bullsh*t any day!!!

neither one of them sung their best in this song….i would love to hear a real duet though, with both ladies singing their hearts out. Now that would be crazy!

Bey has a very strong voice…But i think brandy could hang with bey, without a doubt.

oh and beyonce looks older then brandy in that pic LOL

half and half. beyonce’s 1st verse was better and her intro ad libs as the song began. but brandy’s chorus is better. the 2nd verse was both equal as was the bridge and the final ending brandy’s ad libs were nice, beyonce provided none. and the way brandy ended it i liked too. i then set the songs to play together at the same time and they sound nice together. i say a duet is in order. the hook is hot though to the writer.

Brandy’s way better!!

Beyonce’s voice gets a bit annoying because of the way she sings it. I guess it’s just that this song is not suited for her voice.

Brandy’s voice is something extraordinary. She just takes me there and i can listen to her all day long. Her tone, runs,, rifts, & harmonies!!!!!!! No other artist can be compared. Go look at youtube clips of this girl and listen to her albums. proof right there that no one is messin with this chick. if you watch the video they did for the Election 04 The artist got together and made a remake of “Wake Up Everybody” it was produced by Babyface and he knew exactly where to put her in the song and she sits everyone else down. not to mention her part was the longest. I agree with everyone who says shes a singer’s singer with so much versatility. If you listen to her first album “Brandy” you can hear the Whitney influence in the tone and runs.It’s still thee she just doesn’t uses it as much because of the Matureness in her voice. Music is no longer like this because we have people who cant sing in the forefront. Yes Beyonce can sing, shes just not as AMAZING as people hype her up to be. We need real singers like Kelly Price, Faith Evans, Brandy, Monica, Jazmine Sullivan, Lauryn Hill, Fantasia.

I have had so many arguements reguarding this issue…..Beyonce sings better than Ms. Brandy Norwood????? Must i even answer that? People need to wake up and see that Brandy is a BEAST!!!!!!!!! Proven fact do your research. Anyone who is musically inclined knows what i mean. She is RESPECTED in the industry for her vocals. A true God Given Talent. No shade to Bey she can also sing…..but better than Brandy… i DONT THINK SO.

Children, stop your simple bickering. It’s not about who’s more famous or whom you like better.

Some songs are meant for a certain type of voice. To me, this song is not for Beyonce. Doesn’t mean she can’t sing simply means she shouldn’t sing this song. Pretty simple.

The song isn’t amazing so I can see why they both declined, but Brandy’s voice was better suited for it.

BRANDY!!!! BRANDY!!! BRANDY has a beautiful alto voice. Beyonce has that same country girl style on everything and it gets a little redundent. I’ll say Brandy. I grew up to Brandy’s music before Beyonce came out. Brandy needs to make a big comeback.

#24 STFU! Brandy nor any of those girls started shit. There were females in it before them. There have been many IT girls and Monica is and was better than Brandy’s ass. Anyway, Brandy wasn’t and still isn’t that chick that could dance and sing like Beyonce. Beyonce took this shit to a whole other level that Brandy would not have been able to keep up with back in the day. Now back to the matter at hand, Beyonce kills Brandy vocally, but this song is garbage. Brandy’s weak ass vocals fits this type of song. Beyonce has to hold back on BS songs like this. She needs to to sing more soulful songs like she did on the Cadillac Records sound track.

Tacky Beyonce

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 /

It is only a matter of time until everyone knows about the evil that is Beyonce.

Beyonce is not a good person. This has been revealed time and time again.

Be careful Beyonce, life has a way of catching up to you.

Beyonce needs to calm down she is nothing special. Black people have always danced and sang for white people.

If you are black and make it. Usually for a lady you need to be light skinned with European Features. Well Beyonce is that. U are the norm beyonce. I dont know who the hell is fooling yah.

Oh it must be your uneducated self, and your criminal business partner jay-z.

U both make the same boring music. Its like the same cd over and over again.

That was Brandy’s song from the moment she said the first word…as usual, B was too harsh.
