Not difficult to do, the Mariah version was hideous!

Loved her performance. I'd seen some videos (of not particularly good quality) on YouTube so I got very excited when I heard the starting chords.

There was alot of hate for her cover on Twitter I noticed ('The Beautiful Ones' trended for a while in the UK) - people were claiming she should leave it to Prince.

Personally I loved it, she put so much passion into it - which is something Mariah's version totally lacks. Thumbs up from me smile but I love Beyonce so I was unlikely hate hearing one of my favourite female performers covering Prince cloud9

Her whole set was amazing!

I'm not so good at recognizing notes, so maybe I'm wrong, but did she sing it in a lower key because she can't hit the high notes that Prince can? Regardless, that was a damned fine performance.

It was ok. I honestly prefer mariah's version. I think she nailed the feel of the song in her own way. And kept the drum beat which is important in that song.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

She isnt going to do that because she wanted that immature, ghetto, non intelligent on REAL music audience to think that was HER song. WOW... did she really think people wouldnt recognize that was PRINCE song? smh

That's the one aspect about Beyonce I can't stand: Her stupid outfits. I mean, come on, the heck is that? Revolting. confused

Stuff like this is why her talent is always negated/overshadowed when folks have discussions about her.
