Never cared for that one. “Just Because” is better.

I don’t know why Beyonce even bothered to cover this song, because she can never do it justice! She just isn’t talented enough.
And let me guess, did she try to claim that she wrote the song after her performance?

I’m sure Beyonce did a quite nice pop-friendly version of this song, but it will NEVER top the classic Anita. As far as Anita’s “animated” personality in performances, that is her signature style, just like Beyonce’s weavewhip.

Ya’ll are so fuckin stuck up Beyonce ass, it’s a shame!!!! you think that thing she does is so great! Anita Baker is the one to pull this song off, the only to make it a classic! Unlike Beyonce Anita Baker actually knows how to sing, she doesn’t have to scream on every song!!! This is “REAL R&B” !! Not this crap they play on the radio now a days!! You youngins don’t know shit about real music, how sad!! Keep worshiping your thief of an artist, I’ll settle for someone like Anita that is not an narcissist or self absorbed!

Beyonce’s version is ASS and soulless, she could never do this song justice. Anita re-wrote the gamebook for altos in the industry. Anita is LEGEND!! She shits on Phoni Waxton as well who is highly overrated.
