Beyonce’s version definitely has more “oomf” and sass, but i think Ariana made it her own by making it more dreamy and like a lullaby. Its 2 different versions / styles of the song that I enjoy and can appreciate without comparison or picking one over other. thats why its art. Each artist can take something and run with it in their own creative way.

I’m an Arianator but I grew up listening to Beyoncé and I still do and I can’t believe some people in both fandom try to drag Beyoncé and Ariana. So to be CLEAR : they have a completely different voice and they’re both amazing , and theses two versions have their own vybe.

[@meowingflower]

It’s Me its clear beyoncé has far more control over her voice so this version obviously has more bite than ariana’s. But Ariana’s has a different vibe.

[@cndc]

Meowing Flowers ofc Beyoncé has more control over her voice because she has way more experience than Ariana but these last 2 years I feel like Ariana has improved a lot especially cause she can hit whistle notes easily

[@meowingflower]

It’s Me Yes she can hit whistle notes, but Beyoncé is classically trained, and Ariana has only been taking lessons for two years. I’m not saying either version is better, but it’s the facts that Beyoncé has better control over her range than ariana.

[@cndc]

Meowing Flowers lmao no she hasn’t been taking lessons for two years. She started in 2008 when she was in the Broadway musical 13

PRINCESS H M H I think I understand what you mean, but I think she’s never been vocally underrated, she was the lead in Destiny’s Child & at the time it was all about the voice. It was R&B. Now she’s more like a “pop” artist & unfortunately now female artists are given credit for how big their booties are more than their vocal performances. I think it’s not just Beyoncé, it’s all female artists who are vocally underrated today cause that’s not what matters anymore.

@SLAY MOONLIGHT Beyoncé uses melismatic , lyric , dynamic phrasing in her harmonies, each layer may have a variation in octave level.

They are both beautiful in their own way, but this version gives me such a big nostalgia to Beyoncé's 4 era: Such classic yet modern sound that kinda reminds you of the 90's classics with really pure and strong vocals.

[@cynthiadiep1265]

yes! they put their own sauce into their versions and they’re both unique and beautiful

It was for Self-Titled, but Beyoncé scrapped it from the album and gave the song to Ariana.

This is the most civil comment section I’ve seen in a while and I love that. I haven’t seen anyone go “_______’s version sucks!!! _______’s version is way better!!!!” Like everyone is sharing their opinion and giving an explanation why and I love that no one is dragging anyone else 😁 But in my opinion, I like both. This has more sassiness to it and spice but Ariana’s is simple and sweet and fits her album better. 💛

[@KISSOFLlFEJULIE]

Don’t drag me but Beyoncé’s version sounds better. Ariana did a good job and her album is great but this song fits better to Beyoncé 🤷🏽‍♂️

besides the great control of her voice and her skills, Beyoncé's singing has personality, that's even more advanced than having a distinctive singing style or singing with passion and emotion., she knows how own a song and give it life, something that many singers don't know how to do these days.

Facts

[@joeagger]

I love both, I prefer Ari's because it's a bit dreamier and more of a warm, starry lullaby. I think Ari sang the chorus in a gentler way. I definitely want Bey to come back to this style though, reminds me a lot of 4 (which is her second best album after self-titled imo)

[@allanmhanson]

Ariana’s is flat and boring. Sorry! Beyoncé knows how to speak all the emotions with her singing.

At the end of the song I cried when I heard the baby cry and Beyoncé calm the infant down and hear the baby call her momma this reminds me of my own mom and the baby videos of me with her she is still alive but she could have been gone and this reminds me to be happy she is around now.

I love seeing how they both took the song “R.E.M” (Wake Up) in their own directions. Seeing how Beyoncé’s power and ground her voice had making this sound very empowering and almost sorceress like and Ariana made hers sound ethereal and wonderlandish with her soft more strong melodic voice

I’m conflicted because this sounds so good but I prefer Ariana’s version? Like I can use Ariana’s version as a lullaby and for a song called REM I think that’s very fitting. Her vocals are softer than B’s and I think it just works better. Idk

Ag Tearss tbh ariana soft voice fits more of the dreamy vibe.. this version got a lil sass too it ..its good but ariana's is 🔥🔥🔥

[@Raydoffa]

@@WAVYDIVINE Her version has no depth, Beyonce's version was put together much better. Her harmonies were well thought out, they're much better. Ariana uses simple harmonies that don't do the song justice. Her version sounds like a demo, compared to Beyonce's. But, it's Beyonce we're talking about so that's expected.

[@Loublissett]

Ikr!!

[@Elliemew09]

I feel like Ariana left all the notes at the same range as Beyonce, which is why it kinda falls flat (ari has to work on her lower range). Had they rearranged it to fit her voice better I think it could've been much better

[@ak-xp4hp]

I love both but Beyonce's just has more fullness, more sound. Listen to that "how is it a secret if I know you tryna keep it". So much layering. I think at a minimum, Pharell singing low and an extra Beyonce joins. That's what separates Bey from everybody else. She just gives you waves and waves of sounds. edit: She may be even doing the low part there! Wow.

I didn’t know that was Pharrell!
