Me too. I love the duet. Beyonce's voice adds something special to the mix.

I think I like the duet version more. This is one of the few Justin Timberlake tracks that I like and I've always liked it quite a lot (I have nothing against the guy, but most of his music does nothing for me). Perhaps Justin Timberlake's voice is just something that works better in the context of other singing voices, which is, of course, how his career started. Listening to Justin Timberlake record is a bit like eating a big bowl of vanilla ice cream.

However, I was a bit disappointed when I tried to play this song on piano a few weeks ago. There's just very little to play on it. Even the "ooh-oh-oh" part is just a rephrasing of the same line that constitutes the keyboard hook and the chorus. There's not much to play during the verse either. It's sort of meandering. Of course, a lot of classic soul stuff is simple and doesn't translate that well over to a single instrument, but something started to bother me about this song a little bit.

Not a big JT fan but the original is way better. Beyonce vocals were unnessary and didnt enhance the song.

This is my all time favorite song by Justin besides "Gone". he has so much soul in his voice although a very light voice. But the original is way better. Beyonce over did the remake. She tries to hard to do runs all the time. The ending of the original with the spotlight on just his vocals is hypnotizing. His falsetto is very soulful. Good job Justin. Its a classic.

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince

Not to make any comparisons, but Aaliyah would have rode this beat way better than Beyonce
