what a bad karaokrappy version. silly how such a megastar has to resort to sillying up perfectly good lyrics and replacing a proper piano and strings with crappy synths.if it ain't broke don't fix it

No way, Des'ree's version is so much better than Beyonce's. Beyonce's version is just more modern. An original version is always the best and there is more feeling and emotion in Des'ree's version.

I think Des'ree will always be a one-hit wonder ("You Gotta Be") in the U.S., but that doesn't mean she isn't better than most of the multiplatinum "artists" out today (not that Beyoncé is bad.)
After all, k.d. lang and the phenomenally-voiced Oleta Adams are technically one-hit wonders as well.
This ballad is a little too treacly for my taste anyway, in either version. She does much better with uptempo songs.

Des'ree should feel lucky anyone even remembered her let alone wanted to pay to use her song.

I think Beyonce is amazing but this is an APPALLING version!!! The Des'ree song is incredible and should definately not have been played around with! If you can't improve it, love, leave it alone!!!

Yeah, this version is very bland compared to the original (doesn't sound romantic at all) and Des'ree has every right to sue Beyonce. Surely they could have found another song to cover, right? Why this one?

I agree! The original is sooo mutch better:) Beyonces voice is not fit for singing sutch a soar song.

God, I'm beyond computer illitrate, I hope I'm doing this right. Anyway, your site is awesome and very clever. I look forward to checking out your site everyday day after work, it gives me hope that the world is still decipherable. Your humour is not mean yet, enough to make me piss my pants, a little. Keep up the great work, from Yellowknife, NWT, Canada...You'll have to write me if you want to know the reason for my e-mail name. Keep on the razors edge. P.S. How come I can't find Sean connery nude or Billy Connolly...and is Matthew McConoughy Gay?!?!?!?

i dont think she did a bad job. The first one is definitely better. She should have left it alone.
