Jul 6, 2008 - I liked beyonce's version better it had more sole and passion behind it, but the other girls version was good to but when she sung it with despair or like somebody died.

Jul 6, 2008 - I love Beyonce but this song is definitely sung better by Des'ree, sorry B fans. I am partial to strong, husky deep voices like Des'ree's. Heather Small is another whose voice is amazing and strong. Very underrated UK singers here in the states. Well, maybe now Leona can take over and steal Beyonce's crown. Beyonce is overrated and there needs to be room for another diva.

Jul 6, 2008 - Silly little minded child. Who in their right mind could say that B's version. It's one thing if she asked permission to use the words or music, but to pass it off as your own is unforgivable. The song was meant to share the despair. A love lost never to be found again. In a sense like death. With that said, Des'ree could only get it right since it was her original thought to begin with.Silly rabbit!

Jul 6, 2008 - i love b version because it was passionate, I love d version because it was simple yet with just as passionate. Both songs give off two different emotions,

Jul 6, 2008 - i always knew desree sounded better but when u put both voices together its soo easy to see desree is without a doubt soo much better than beyonce's version. beyonce sounds very try hard id say. but thats just me.... my 2 cents

Jul 6, 2008 - well i personally think Leona is overrated, she's strikingly gorgeous, a great singer, but she was propelled to fame all too suddenly,whereas beyonce is an authentic entertainer by trait, its in her blood she's been singing and performing from very early on. but interestingly enough the two artists are equally humble and down to earth, beyonce seems quite shy in public i've seen her twice in miami, so no i think there will be any crown stealing, leano needs a bit more time to mature!
moroscuro25 Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - well she wrote the song, it was her song so her intent was to interpret it that way, did you ever hear of "romeo and juliet." in fact someone did die. there's a song for various emotions; hence, the blues, but i must say beyonce did a fantastic job interpreting her version

mcoordinator Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - Its blatant THEFT of musical composition & lyrics!Its silly that anyone would defend B just bc u like her!If it been the other way around, we'd be upset someone copied the great Beyonce!PLZ! Her label was wrong,B was wrong for agreeing!Doesnt matter if it was a better version or not.Her artistic integrity should have risen to the occassion...maybe she doesnt have any?? And FYI,I like B's music..not copyright infringed knockoffs!She wouldnt want it done to her so WHY is anyone defending her??
MySonsMama Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - That was neat. I think Des'ree was more soulful, but thats just me :o)
chardmoore Says:

BNaVaRo Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - yeah she's great, but she did really bad, it wasn't a song for her, this is a song for low range voices, dont u think?
BNaVaRo Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - i am sooo agree
sepikpes Says:
Jul 6, 2008 - im sorry but des'ree is still the best!!! regardless of how talented beyonce may be. Des'ree has a unique voice & i think beyonce's version of this majestic song is a ripoff.Does anyone know what the outcome of the law suit was?
