@@loupcaldeira when people credit her they dont really credit her voice they credit her as a performer. Her voice is not given the credit it deserves. Her voice is so controlled and she has an AMAZING vocal range. And the way her voice has matured over time👌. That is basically what they mean
PRINCESS H M H I think I understand what you mean, but I think she’s never been vocally underrated, she was the lead in Destiny’s Child & at the time it was all about the voice. It was R&B. Now she’s more like a “pop” artist & unfortunately now female artists are given credit for how big their booties are more than their vocal performances. I think it’s not just Beyoncé, it’s all female artists who are vocally underrated today cause that’s not what matters anymore.
I’m an Arianator but I grew up listening to Beyoncé and I still do and I can’t believe some people in both fandom try to drag Beyoncé and Ariana. So to be CLEAR : they have a completely different voice and they’re both amazing , and theses two versions have their own vybe.
It’s Me its clear beyoncé has far more control over her voice so this version obviously has more bite than ariana’s. But Ariana’s has a different vibe.
Meowing Flowers ofc Beyoncé has more control over her voice because she has way more experience than Ariana but these last 2 years I feel like Ariana has improved a lot especially cause she can hit whistle notes easily
It’s Me Yes she can hit whistle notes, but Beyoncé is classically trained, and Ariana has only been taking lessons for two years. I’m not saying either version is better, but it’s the facts that Beyoncé has better control over her range than ariana.
Beyonce’s version definitely has more “oomf” and sass, but i think Ariana made it her own by making it more dreamy and like a lullaby. Its 2 different versions / styles of the song that I enjoy and can appreciate without comparison or picking one over other. thats why its art. Each artist can take something and run with it in their own creative way.
KJ Beast I think it has just enough. It’s supposed to be like a possessiveness, but maybe Bey scrapped because some people would think it’s aggressive.
@@antoniodabaddestpolk7499 it’s not a bad thing to not be “oomph” ones just aggressive while the other one is simply not I prefer the less aggressive take on the song
ari and beyonce should do a duet version of this song a lot of people are saying they like the ari or beyonce version better but both versions are great
One thing about Beyonce’ she gone have the dopest arrangements and harmonies in her songs. She takes her TIME with jsut one song, that’s all her albums are classics. She makes quality albums.
@@chinocaresxyeah but it was made for Beyonces album, so it would’ve fit if she made it for her album. The fact she cut it out of her album shows that what’s good to one person isn’t good enough for her. She’s too good.
This has more flavor than Ariana’s version for sure, but I like the sweetness and simplicity of Ariana’s version. It fits the album’s sound more. But I love the sassiness Bey’s version has!!!
0:56 Her vocals in the back singing wake up are so angelic. Beyoncé should’ve released this song. Ariana version is good but Beyoncé version gives it a different vibe.
@SLAY MOONLIGHT Beyoncé uses melismatic , lyric , dynamic phrasing in her harmonies, each layer may have a variation in octave level. I do listen to Ariana since I love her tone but you cannot simply say that her musicality or technique is better than Beyoncé's. It's like comparing Maria Callas or Joan Sutherland to Diana Damrau, a pure, pushed reach.
This is the Beyoncé sound I live for... I wish she’d release more music like this instead of songs like apeshit etc. Bey’s vocal harmonies and musicality is just impeccable.
Candie Luvv I know, she being that hip hop ish since Bug a boo! But she has went more to that hip hop side now..you know like kinda staying trap Yoncé, I love Trap Yoncé too! But I just want a good soulful ballad again and some some like this^^^ kinda like a B’day 2.0 with some 4 & self titled lol but true! No shade to Bey at all!
xxLovelyDay22xx she's had one album that was a bit more hip hop-ish. But even on that album she sang a lot. And "Lemonade" was all singing. It's weird how folks think Beyonce has just abandoned that thing that has made her great to become an MC. She's one of the most versatile artist in the game. But singing is always gonna be her thing.
CHEETAH69 I know, Lemonade isn’t a hip hop album at all! It has way more singing songs than hip hop ish songs...but she does show more ratchet bey now days, her songs isn’t necessary family friendly now days! I like my Trapyoncé but I do want more of that DIL, BDay, & 4 vibes...I know she hasn’t abandoned singing! But her vibe kinda of now days is more trapè now a beyhive member had a post saying which Bey do want more of ratchet, revolution, pop/r&b queen, & another one I can’t think of right now, & some said more “ratchet” bey, some said more of the pop/r&b Queen & etc.. but Beyoncé hasn’t really had a solo ballad that really showed off her vocals in a while, Now her vocals on perfect were so beautiful to me!!💕 Her vocals on Walk on water were so angelic & powerful!💕 This song here Wake up is so great to me! I love the feel good vibes , I like the upbeatness then it slows down then it gets back upbeat! Kinda give me 90’s vibes... btw I’m bumping EIL right now lol💕

besides the great control of her voice and her skills, Beyoncé's singing has personality, that's even more advanced than having a distinctive singing style or singing with passion and emotion., she knows how own a song and give it life, something that many singers don't know how to do these days.

Ari’s version is for like the little girls who day dream about their crush And Beyoncé’s version is for the women who know they finna get married to they man 👏🏼😍
Aniyah& Brittany TV this song was gonna be on Bey’s self titled album that came out in 2013. Guess she didn’t want it so she passed and since Pharrell wrote and produced it he gave it to Ari and they made it her own. So yeah blue was still really wittle 🥺😭 and I think she said who messed with my baby 🧐😂
KingofMeereen No shit. They’re two different people, with two different voices. They’re both amazing, but I prefer Ari’s and if you can’t deal with my opinion go vent somewhere else
hate i don’t think it’s hating on your opinion. I think they are pointing out southern colloquialisms that Ari nor others could carry like a singer from the south, preferably Bey. “Aye Der, boi “ isn’t exactly northeast. Lol both versions are great but as a WOC I’m glad AG didn’t say it. I would have cringed.
I love both, I prefer Ari's because it's a bit dreamier and more of a warm, starry lullaby. I think Ari sang the chorus in a gentler way. I definitely want Bey to come back to this style though, reminds me a lot of 4 (which is her second best album after self-titled imo)
@@banheesos I like bey’s version but it doesn’t really fit the bold power that Beyoncé has in most of her songs. It perfectly fits Ari’s light and soft angelic voice
I’m an Arianator but this feels like so matured like Ari’s for us, teens, who dream about their crush while this Bey’s version sounds like for woman who’s ready to marry her bf or a wife reminiscing the moments w/ her husbands. Both are wonderful and have diff vibes
At the end of the song I cried when I heard the baby cry and Beyoncé calm the infant down and hear the baby call her momma this reminds me of my own mom and the baby videos of me with her she is still alive but she could have been gone and this reminds me to be happy she is around now. Btw sorry if this is a long comment.
killa sk Beyonce is wayyy more thuggish - tasteful- smooth and soulful. Ariana’s “swaglessness” ruins it. The way Beyonce annunciates and the swing she adds to the way she sings it adds a completely different atmosphere and feeling to it. Ariana’s does not have the soul and blackness to sing this song LOL.
@@flexulant did you really just call beyonce thuggish?? and described Ariana with swaglessness? Ariana's sounds a lot more like R.E.M. than Beyonce's does.
cheetos ff ik that hun, that still doesn’t take from my comment that it was originally for Beyoncé to sing and that she let Ari sing it. My comment wasn’t even negative or involved Pharell so idk why your comment was needed.
This is the most civil comment section I’ve seen in a while and I love that. I haven’t seen anyone go “_______’s version sucks!!! _______’s version is way better!!!!” Like everyone is sharing their opinion and giving an explanation why and I love that no one is dragging anyone else 😁 But in my opinion, I like both. This has more sassiness to it and spice but Ariana’s is simple and sweet and fits her album better. 💛
It's amazing how three different people can sing the same exact note, and they will reach come out sounding COMPLETELY different based on timbre/tonality, nasality and other vocal nuances that I don't even know. The voice is truly amazing.
Both versions are so unique! I love them. And it's a testament or stamp time of where both women were at the time they recorded it as far as their personal/love life was concerned.
Why didn’t she release this? Ugh Bey you make me so mad sometimes Lol but I love you always! I just need to see you on top of the charts one more time my love.
bey uses vivid sounds so well in her soungs like the part @:06 sounds so much like a dream shes so amazing, also I love how she emphasizes the wake up part in the chorus along with pharrell, it’s like she’s dreaming but screaming at herself to wake up. This would’ve been a cool music video

Don't wanna wake up, oh
Wake up, wake up, wake up
You're such a dream
If you can believe?
Boy you're such a dream to me, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Hey there, boy, I love you
I'm feeling like I know you, I can't help but wanna thug you
I'm watching all these broads trying so damn hard
But I can't even blame 'em 'cause you're so irresistible
I want to stand and yell, I won't ever dare to tell
I think I heard some wedding bells (keep that to yourself)
Is this real?
Ooh child, I can stop praying now
Past life, let's rewind
To the day when I met you
Throwback
Dear God, how could I forget you?
Your sex
Boy, it feels just like a dream to me
Now
[Chorus]
Before you speak, don't move
'Cause I don't wanna wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Don't wanna wake up, oh
Wake up, wake up, wake up
You're such a dream
(You're such dream)
If you can believe?
Boy you're such a dream to me, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
So to whom
It may concern
Please don't disturb me
Can't you see?
I'm happy, happily sleep, yeah
[Chorus]
Before you speak, don't move
'Cause I don't wanna wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
I don't wanna wake up, oh
Wake up, wake up, wake up
You're such a dream
(You're such dream)
If you can believe?
Boy you're such a dream to me, yeah, yeah
[Outro: Beyoncé & Blue Ivy]
*Baby Noises*
Ma ma, ma ma
(Don't mess with my baby
They better not mess with my baby)
thx
Thank youu❤❤❤
Ari’s version is for like the little girls who day dream about their crush
And Beyoncé’s version is for the women who know they finna get married to they man 👏🏼😍
Kaly Jewelle cringe
Kaly Jewelle YAAAS omg frfr I felt like an adult when I heard this lol
Girl stfu just listen to the song libtard
Cringe literally. What if I listen both? Lol
@@leorodriguez6080
*why so rude and negative?*
Her and Baby Blue at the end 🥰 “don’t mess with my baby” 😍
umm , not be rude , buh this song came out in 2018 and blue was 6 years old when this came out , so its one of the twins
Aniyah& Brittany TV this song was gonna be on Bey’s self titled album that came out in 2013. Guess she didn’t want it so she passed and since Pharrell wrote and produced it he gave it to Ari and they made it her own. So yeah blue was still really wittle 🥺😭 and I think she said who messed with my baby 🧐😂
Anijahnized idk ima look it up😅
@@aniyah7054 no its not and bey recorded this 2012
@@FurthermoreMoni that's what they said g
you can hear Beyoncé doing that thing when she smiles while singing and therefore, in my gay opinion this version is better
chaunceey chery when?
wait- i can see it too skskksk
the validation I needed, thanks hun
in straight opinion this version SERVES
chaunceey chery Period.
I only discovered this version today and I've listened to it 20 times by now. Can't wait for the new album !!!!
I also felt that "oeehhh chillllllld"
I discovered it today. 😭😭😭
I love the "na na na na na na" and how it starts off with "excuse me, I love you" both versions are so good
“ay dere, boy, I LOVE YOU!” i’m so glad Ari didn’t say that cus she would’ve sounded a whole mess💀
😂 yeah, Ari was just like “ excuse me, um.. I love you “ 😂😂
hate nah, Ari doesn’t have the same bite as Bey
KingofMeereen No shit. They’re two different people, with two different voices. They’re both amazing, but I prefer Ari’s and if you can’t deal with my opinion go vent somewhere else
hate i don’t think it’s hating on your opinion. I think they are pointing out southern colloquialisms that Ari nor others could carry like a singer from the south, preferably Bey. “Aye Der, boi “ isn’t exactly northeast. Lol both versions are great but as a WOC I’m glad AG didn’t say it. I would have cringed.
😂😂😂💀💀💀
I love both, I prefer Ari's because it's a bit dreamier and more of a warm, starry lullaby. I think Ari sang the chorus in a gentler way. I definitely want Bey to come back to this style though, reminds me a lot of 4 (which is her second best album after self-titled imo)
Ariana’s is flat and boring. Sorry! Beyoncé knows how to speak all the emotions with her singing.
Allan M. Hanson did he ask you HE SAID I (PREFER)
same i like ari’s more
Actually I am Sasha fierce is better than Beyonce's self titled album lol
joe a definitely reminds me of 4 😍😍
This version is amazing 🥺 Ari’s is like, dreamy and soft while Beyonce’s feels so rich and elegant. Love both of em 🥺✨
Y’all this the grown & sexy version 🤣😍😍😍
sariah jackson PERIODT 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Queen bey probably thought the locals weren't ready for the sexiness of this version so she gave it to someone cutesy like Ari. :>
Manu Villacarillo and she angelically executed it :$
@@banheesos I like bey’s version but it doesn’t really fit the bold power that Beyoncé has in most of her songs. It perfectly fits Ari’s light and soft angelic voice
I love how she’s just a momma bear at the end . “Who mess with my baby. Don’t nobody mess with my baby” 🥰
I’m an Arianator but this feels like so matured like Ari’s for us, teens, who dream about their crush while this Bey’s version sounds like for woman who’s ready to marry her bf or a wife reminiscing the moments w/ her husbands. Both are wonderful and have diff vibes
The harmonies give me life actually Queen Bey gives me life
At the end of the song I cried when I heard the baby cry and Beyoncé calm the infant down and hear the baby call her momma this reminds me of my own mom and the baby videos of me with her she is still alive but she could have been gone and this reminds me to be happy she is around now. Btw sorry if this is a long comment.
“ooo child i can stop praying now” is the most delicious thing i’ve ever heard
Beyonce's version slays. It captures the dreamy infatuation perfectly.
The right attitude for this beat I’m not even a big Beyoncé fan but this I can appreciate woii
My same thought. I'm not a huge crazy Bey fan but when she ride the beat on songs like this I can appreciate her music
“how is it a secret if i know ya gonna peep it ?” ate
I think I would stick with Beyoncé’s verses and Ariana’s chorus
Daniel Valadez I agree
The chorus is beautiful lowered down to a few notes!! Like Ariana did it!!
yep
Daniel Valadez they should’ve combined, 2 great minds are better than 1 especially since they’re both musically gifted 🔥🔥
me too!
She should’ve released this, def wish I could get this on Apple Music.
Meme Matthews right??
Imagine the bops she's hiding from us
Monkah18 no it’s not
Monkah18 But Beyoncé didn’t cover 😂 it was Beyoncé song first
Monkah18 are you dumb? These are demos from waaay back lmao dont try it without knowing facts even google it
just download it with YTDdownloader and convert it to audio then send it to your phone via iTunes. easy
I love this one so much😭😭 her voice is so deep and rich
Beyoncé’s version sounds more grown and womanly and Ariana sounds more girly...
killa sk Beyonce is wayyy more thuggish - tasteful- smooth and soulful. Ariana’s “swaglessness” ruins it. The way Beyonce annunciates and the swing she adds to the way she sings it adds a completely different atmosphere and feeling to it. Ariana’s does not have the soul and blackness to sing this song LOL.
FLEXULANT the “blackness”? that’s stupid, the term you need to use is soul
Evan Brown no ..... it’s blackness ... LOL
Totally agree! I'm more of Ari fan, but this version is the one that really sends me there.
@@flexulant did you really just call beyonce thuggish?? and described Ariana with swaglessness? Ariana's sounds a lot more like R.E.M. than Beyonce's does.
BEY BEING A MOM AT THE END DID ME IN!!!!!
I love how their personalities SHOW through the sooong I LOVE THIS SONG ON BOTH OF THESE QUEENS
Ari’s sounds like an actual lullaby like she’s actually in a dream and this one sounds like a sensual version but they both are amazing 😍
I still can’t believe this was originally Bey’s song at first but I’m glad she let Ari do it bc both versions are 😍😍😍
lmao pharell williams wrote it and he produced the sweetener album which has ari's version
cheetos ff ik that hun, that still doesn’t take from my comment that it was originally for Beyoncé to sing and that she let Ari sing it. My comment wasn’t even negative or involved Pharell so idk why your comment was needed.
@@kbreezysmith beyonce had no control over if ariana used it or not
Extraordinary Machine once again, duh, ik that. The comment was complimentary and I like both versions. Please read before telling me nonsense.
@@kbreezysmith you literally said Beyonce "let her" use it two times. She didn't
I never knew this was Beyoncé’s first omg! Both versions are beautiful
This is the most civil comment section I’ve seen in a while and I love that. I haven’t seen anyone go “_______’s version sucks!!! _______’s version is way better!!!!” Like everyone is sharing their opinion and giving an explanation why and I love that no one is dragging anyone else 😁
But in my opinion, I like both. This has more sassiness to it and spice but Ariana’s is simple and sweet and fits her album better. 💛
I love this one so much! Ariana and Beyonce have perfect voices and they blend in with eachother so well.
it says this is from 2018.... it feels just as fresh and new and beautiful as ever. xoxo you are a dream to me.
This was recorded back in like 2013
This sounds so good. Imagine all the amazing songs Beyonce must keep in her vault and hasn't released officially like this one....
People always commenting about losing their damn hair 😂
HAAAAAHAHHAA
U gotta problem with that child
It’s called “snatching wig”
tama’s pajamas and most of them are probably bald lol
tama’s pajamas I’ve been bald because of Bey 😩😂😂😂
Can’t believe Pharell had a demo of this song even before Beyoncé, all three versions sound so good
i love both versions but this one will forever hold a place in my heart
This song is so beautiful. I Love when she’s talking with the baby at the end of this song is so pure. This is Beyoncé I fell in love with it.
Bey needs to release this, this went hard
I don’t think she can bc Ariana owns the song now
@@Reiprz dang smh this song was golden lol
@@glamchik13 well good thing we have yt or else we wouldn’t have known abt it
I love both versions but Beyonce's just hit different
It's amazing how three different people can sing the same exact note, and they will reach come out sounding COMPLETELY different based on timbre/tonality, nasality and other vocal nuances that I don't even know. The voice is truly amazing.
Who's the 3rd?
OMGGGGG I KNEW I heard that “dunununununun” part before! She put it in Black Is King too! I’m such a stan😂
Wait what?
Guhh fr
@@aboutbeyonce6490 Yup! I believe its in Find Your Way Back
This is my favorite version of the song. Bey killed it.
Why everyone acting like they can only like one version?😂
s h o o k e t h because there is 😂 I don’t even entertain that the other might possibly exist
@@joymechell277 yikes
Ikr i love both
@@joymechell277 Ariana slayed the other version
They can but some of them are bringing the other singer down
Wow, i never knew this version existed. I love this so much! i love the ariana and beyoncé versions so much. they both have their own vibe
0:47 wow her voice is so rich in the lower register 😍
Thank you for providing such a clear and great sounding version of Beyoncé’s version!
im in love with this version
Where has this song been all my life
I love this version
Both versions are so unique! I love them.
And it's a testament or stamp time of where both women were at the time they recorded it as far as their personal/love life was concerned.
The productions, vocal layering wowwwww!!. hands down!!
Why didn’t she release this? Ugh Bey you make me so mad sometimes Lol but I love you always! I just need to see you on top of the charts one more time my love.
this is so beautiful. beyonce sounds heavenlyyyyyyy
Qlqr música na voz da Beyoncé fica perfeita mds!!!
bey uses vivid sounds so well in her soungs like the part @:06 sounds so much like a dream shes so amazing, also I love how she emphasizes the wake up part in the chorus along with pharrell, it’s like she’s dreaming but screaming at herself to wake up. This would’ve been a cool music video
Omg I love this song so much❤❤❤
tbh i like both versions.. beyoncé makes it sound so grown and beautiful and ari makes it sound cute and magical
