♫ Beyoncé – Best Thing I Never Had (Original Version)
On what fans have dubbed King B Day, Concrete Loop gives an exclusive listen to the original version of Beyoncé’s current single, “Best Thing I Never Had.”
We got the scoop that this is the original track that Babyface intended his contribution on the album to go on, which has a very ’90′s, up-tempo feel. The album version of the song, however, is produced by Symbolyc One and Shea Taylor.
Beyoncé’s new album, 4, hit stores today.
I think I like this version better.
yes this is a better version. Babyface knows what his doing so she should of stayed with this!
Yes! They should have went with this version!! I’m diggin’ the ’80s drum kit sample from Doug E Fresh & Slick Rick’s “The Show.” It’s simple, yet smooth. For me, the piano in the album version is a little over the top, especially in the chorus section. It has that modern-day Vanessa Carlton vibe. Hopefully, there will be a download link for this version. *wink wink*
The single version is MUCH better. Hope it smashes like the album is doing!
i like this version better…:P
OH this wouldve been cute! It fits right in with the other material on the album…. wonder why they didnt go with this one?
This version is FanMade, The demo had no vocal mixing and only a piano + drums.
I like this one much better, but they had to balance out all the R&B tracks on there, so I can see why they went with the pop version, but damn this version is HOT.
I am glad she went with the single version. better version, this sounds like singing on top of a beat. The single version gives the song more life, letting the words breathe.
100% agree!
The single/album version is better. And Bey is slaying the charts. Run The World went to number one one the Billboard Dance/Club charts. King B! Bought the album too!
nope.. she’s still # 3..just saying
@ hollywood the fans got the exclusive and follow the charts, its indeed #1 which might be her 15 #1 on the dance charts, it isnt updated yet, keep looking it up on billboard
I like a little of both… this for the vocal, the other for the epic production.
Im not a fan of Bey or do I dislike anything about her
She manages to stay on top because she works extremely hard to maintain her position—every single album she’s produced this mama allows several songs to be released @ once which is a huge plus for her
Said it many many times…you may not like her…her music or her acting ability but she’s earned her right to be on top…
THIS!
Where can i download this someone please give me a link this shit hot as hell! But as one of the fans who go to pre-listen to the songs with Beyonce she played the original and the new version for the album and sorry this is not a original its fanmade!
“original track that Babyface intended his contribution on the album to go on”?
So what happened?
Well she changed it, you have no idea how many songs she changed (instrumentals, vocals…) and turn them into the album versions… I like the album version better
why oh why, I don’t think I will be able to endure her this time around. Can she go on break again? Please Heavenly Father
there is nothing to endure, you only choose to, dont watch, dont listen, dont buy, dont come to her posts or anything beyoncé related then, simple as that
You ate that
! Lol
I like this version way better. I think “Best Thing I Never Had” is one of the weakest records on the album. It’s the track that shows the least depth and growth.
LOVE IT
I LIKE BOTH VERSIONS…BRIAN YOU KNOW BEYONCE PUTS OUT 50 MILLION REMIXES AND RE-RELEASES WHEN SHE HAS AN ALBUM OUT…I’M SURE THIS VERSION WILL BE ON CONCERT DVD, ALBUM REMIXES, ALBUM DELUXE DELUXE, ETC. LMAO
I feel like the vocals on both versions are great but something doesn’t mesh between the music and vocals on both versions IMO.
Congratulations to Beyonce. Hardest working women in the game. Love this song.
but why is she sticking her boobs out in the pic?so over her.
Beyonce is a whore. Crawl under a rock WHORE we are tired of you!
YAWN.
Ok ur going way to hard smh & lmao
Crawl under a rock and stay there whore!!
Thank God you decided not to keep this beat Beyonce, I prefer the album version!
HELL TO DA NAW, thank the lord they chose the other one, this beat is too damn simple for the melody, and does not even go with the melody sometimes
& why she look like Evelyn HO-zala from BBall wives? smh…
The slower version suits the song much better but I like this beat!
Correction: the slower version suits the *lyrics* better.
I actually prefer the album version; but this one isn’t that bad-
UHH…Yeah good call on the change up because this mess sounds like a Troop album reject.
S/N Does she look like Lil Mama to anyone else in this pic?
Love the lyrics…
NOT FEELIN’ THIS 1. I WOULDN’T BE ABLE 2 TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THE BEAT TAKE’S AWAY FROM THE LYRICS. THIS SOUNDS MORE LIKE A PARTY SONG 2 DANCE 2. I’M NOT THAT CRAZY ABOUT THE ALBUM VERSION EITHER. BUT, IF I HAD 2 CHOOSE B/TWEEN THE 2, I WOULD GO WITH THE ALBUM VERSION.
That doesn’t even look like her in the pic. She looks like Ciara with a blonde wig on. As for the song, um….no. The beat sounds too much like Doug E. Fresh’s song, “The Show”. The beat was distracting me from the lyrics. I’m glad they left it the way they did on the album. The piano makes me think of Bruce Hornsby song, “The Way It Is”.
This version sounds nice too.
she think she all dat but she babbid
Yawn…let me know when she start doing something that can be labeled “self made”…
This is not real its Fan made …they used the acapella version and put a beat to it…although its sounds okay this is not something Beyonce would do
