Beyonce may have already topped the charts with her blockbuster album ‘Cowboy Carter,’ but the megastar isn’t resting on the LP’s chart-topping success.
Instead, she’s giving fans extra incentive to pick up its freshly released official vinyl.

yass ms anita..the best her voice is sooo smooth
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?
LUANNE
girl you are so f****** pressed its sad
the queen stay on yo mind
beyonce covered the song as part of a medley (with sweet dreams and DIL)
she did not record the song
oh and anita said she loved beyonces version so you can
STAY MAD!!
@ Luanne
WHATEVER. I like Bey’s version BETTER. Bey Kilt It!! She defiantly did this song justice like none other. Her Technique is FAR Superior to any of these h*** out now, past & present. YOFAVSCOULDNEVA!!
The Queen Bey Shits on all my Favs, her voice is like none other…
She puts all my favs to Shame:

so glad you brought this back sam <3 !!!!
this song IS amazing………has anita been honured at the B.E.T awards yet ?
If not it NEEDS to happen,
Even Weaveyonce is paying tribute to the queen of R&B !!!!!
Anita could sing Beyonces fat ass out of this universe, KNOW THAT sweeties !!!!
*WHO OWNS THE THRONE?*
*YOU DO MOMMY!*
ahh i miss good music
DAMN SHE’S SOOO F****** ANIMATED WHEN SHE SINGS. SHE STILL DOES THAT. CHECK UTUBE, HER ’08 CONCERTS SHE ACTS JUST LIKE THIS.
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 f***** 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 s*** 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!
MOST DEFINETLY ONE OF THE GREATEST!!!!!!!!
===============================================
CIARA- BASIC INSTINCTS IN STORES AUGUST 17TH!!!!!!!!!
@BENJAMIN
HOPING ONE GOD WILL MAKE THAT WEAVEWHIP FLY THE F*** OFF.. AND BEYAAANCE IS ACTUALLY BALD!!!! MUAHHAHAA.
Beyonce is balder than an eagle, we all now that s***.
*NOW WHO ONWS THE THRONE, MY SWEETIES?*
*YOU DO MOMMY!*
typo*
know**** my sweeties
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.
Uhmm…does EVERYTHING have to be about Beyonce?
Sheesh. STFU.
Anyway, this song is AMAZING. Freaking classic.
And what is real music? but if u knew anything about vocal or musicianship u would kno beyonce hit every note and them some others beyonce can go as low as anita but anita can go as high as beyonce it was a cover song so she not gone sing it the same ppl so worried about comparin the two artist nd tryin to degrade the new artiat who is,simply payin homage beyonce is techincal a vocal beast she knows her voice and how to use it thts how her and brandy can imtatied the shows of diffrent instruments nd sustained notes nd have prefect pitch and control ….learn what it means to be a singer then u will see something differntly nd as far as real music goes there other types of music besides r n b you ppl needs to learn tht not everyone wants to listen to slow songs some ppl lkke pop or hiphop or oprea reasoncwhy ppl progress is because tht open to explore rather than stay in a box all thier lifes think rnb is real form of music and im black so dont say im being races ……
