Classic you're whack as hell because bey is an entertainer and a vocalist and all singers know that, even Mary Mary featured her and you can youtube the queen of hip hop and soul(Mary j blidge) and she were she said that bey is a great vocalist and great performer she is also versatile and can pretty sing anything. I grew up singing in the church personally and even gospel singers have there own rendition of "precious lord" and a lot of them do to much. A lot of them riff more then bey and don't have control of the technique riffing. I learned in music class that it's a gift to know how to riff and bey honestly have that gift. Mostly, all music derived from gospel music if you do your research and you don't have to have soul which bey obviously has, to sing a gospel because it's all sang to god. That's why it's gospel. Lol. I loved beys rendition of precious lord. People mad because ledisi didn't sing the song but the song can be sung by anybody it's a hymn and been song for years. Ledisi did her thing and so did bey. Kelly price version sound amazing also. It's a lot of singers that could have pulled it off with there sedition of the song. I hate when people try to sound like people, that's boring as hell. Al green once said that when he had the chance to get notice he went in trying to sound like some one else but the record label didn't sign him until he sounded like himself. I don't want another Mariah or jasmine Sullivan because we already have that. Bey is an artist, point blank. She's beautiful but if she couldn't sing a wouldn't be a fan because I have a passion for music. What female artist that you know dances with a mic for long periods of time and still sound amazing? And for the ones who asked who was she singing too, they should be asking ledisi who was she singing to and the rest of the gospel people because they said lord also. Lol. People are hilarious. The bible also speaks of Christians that are hypocrites, who are gonna bust hell wide open if their life wasn't together. Get the yoke out of your eyes before you get it out some one else's. Ashamed ashamed!!!!!!!! But Only god can judge you!!!!

Great Great Great rendition Bey!!!!!!!!!!!!!
