- Each single line of this song touched me.
Beyonce, I felt for you since I saw this scene!!!*
You're the BEST of the BEST!!
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
Listen to the song here in my heart
a melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
Its only beginning to find release
Ohh the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died
So long ago
Oh I'm screaming out
And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed Aside or turned
Into your own
All 'cause you won't listen
Listen
I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say whats on my mind
You should have known
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start, but I will complete
Now I am done believing you
You don't know not what I am feeling
I'm more than what you've made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I got to find my own - my own - Hudba
"you're voice has no personality, no depth" she sure showed him. Damn straight
lol
Matthew Aiken were does she sings that??
EXCEPT for THIS song...Curtis was RIGHT...does it take being INSULTED...or knowing you're sharing the stage with Jennifer Hudson to bring out Beyonce's BEST???
@flwtchs _ Well Should that explain why they chose Jhud to play effie instead of Beyonce because to my knowledge Beyonce wanted to play Effie part. However, the director did not believe she had the voice😕 Correct me if I m wrong....
jin vance you’re wrong. Stop coming up with shit to discredit this beautiful, talented woman,
"I found the voice YOU THINK you GAVE to me" Ugh EVEYTIME :'}
+Daija Stokes I followed the voice you think you gave to me*
okay okay... but still EVERYTIME :'}
Chills man, chills
I know..
Same :')
A song for all women who are forced to be someone they are not. By friends, family or loved ones. Perfect.
preach
Amen GOD is in control of who we are
Jubilee not only women i have a few guys that I look at as my brothers they are in this situation right now but don’t see it
Jubilee Yesssss
🙌🏿🙌🏿 you couldn't have said it any better
not only is this song a "fuck you" to curtis, but it's also a big "fuck you" to any man who thinks he can control and abuse a woman however he wants to. this song was perfect for the movie, but it's also perfect for anyone who feels like they're being disrespected and mistreated.
It's an inspiring song to me personally and it's universal. It's the hell of a performance and a wonderful songwriiting result :)
Very true
daydream well said
+daydream Absolutely!
daydream is not.
I don't think Curtis ever really loved Deena. I do think he cared about her, not as a "friend" or "wife" but as a "product". She is literally his livelihood. I think Curtis's marriage to Deena was a strategic move to finalize his investment to his product. The fact that he was sleeping with her was a bonus. And think he had the same idea with Effie but it didn't work because he couldn't control her like he controlled Deena....
+J.R. M I partly agree with you; personally, I think he thought he loved Deena, but in reality he loved her more as an object, something he could possess. Not as an actual human being with her own opinions and dreams.
True.
exactly
J.R. M could not agree more
J.R. M yupp
I will NEVER understand how anyone can call Beyonce medicore or overrated.
That's because, they're jealous of her.
Christian Edwards ao true
So*
@@WWAHP i think so because she's so talented and beautiful. She can't help it 🤷🏽♀️
She's not mediocre, she IS overrated and that isn't being hateful because I actually do like Beyonce. But she is overrated, maybe you said the wrong word or you need to search up the definition of being overrated...because that's what she is.
Jennifer got her ballad Beyoncé got her ballad but Anika never got to belt the way she truly can I wish lorelle would've gotten a song that showcased her voice cause I love Anika so much😭😭
I think that was the point of Patience. To show that Lorelle and Jimmy were capable singers as well but overshaded by the industry/Curtis.
I agree. Patience is a beautiful song. Anika was definitely underused in this movie though. :)
I know it wasn't that long, but even Lorell Loves Jimmy was so beautiful, however short.
at least she got to be a disney princess, unlike beyonce, I'm almost there is one of the best disney songs ever
12345 Nltsaaegcj beyonce was heavily considered for the part but wasn't given it because she didn't want to audition she just wanted the part given to her so it was given to Anika who auditioned
Beyonce looks so good with black hair
She sure did told his ass with that song ! 👌🏽🔥👏🏽
Queen Bey Agrees!
It's amusing that Beyoncé is playing a character who doesn't have that great a voice, and then she sings like that.
I know right
+designchik That was the point. She was being suppressed and then she finally find her voice. That's the point of the entire scene.
in the original musical, her voice is supposed to be pretty weak. But I'm sure Beyonce couldn't let that happen. She had to have a victory moment.
I feel like it's not supposed to be weak, but it's supposed to not be special. "No personality." She can sing, but it's average. Of course, Beyonce is not average.
i think it's because they are talking in comparison to effie's voice...her voice is very beautiful but not as powerful as jennifer hudson's
People don't give enough credit to Beyonce for Dreamgirls. This was absolutely fabulous. Jennifer Hudson stood out because she was perfect in every way for the role, and anyone who's seen Dreamgirls knowns that it glorifies the role of Effie so of course she'd be standout.
Bey looks so pretty with dark hair 😍 and watching Deena be so timid throughout the movie was lowkey frustrating....when her face dropped when he called himself telling her what her voice lacks and a fire form in her eyes was so refreshing . I just knew she was about to finally take a stand for herself and did she ever 💁🏾 this song was everything. Take that Curtis with your controlling self .
Such a powerful scene! Sometimes I wonder if Beyoncé is even human..
ooo me too lol
super talented right can do anything😂😂
she is.she makes mistakes as well.
Thudas22 she's just acting not walking on water
Stop fucking trying to make this damn lady sound like she is a God or something... Yes she is human! She gonna die just like me and you one day and plus guess what? SHE SHITS JUST LIKE US TOO! STFU! YALL ARE QUICK TO PRAISE A DAMN CELEBRITY AND NOT GOD
She snatched him
Sooo baddddd
Forget Snatched, SHE DRAGGED HIM
She sung that from the soul, loved it.
No one can sing this song as amazing as her !
Pettis Edwards did.
+Ivette Moreno I have heard it and she did amazing but not as amazing as Beyoncé
NOBODY has sung this song better than her. Yes there are higher versions (by artists who are sopranos), but 'higher' does NOT mean better. There is something the way Beyonce belts. It's so clean and eargasmic especially when she incorporates some rasp on her voice. I've heard A LOT of artists singing this song and they're just mostly screaming and dying on the higher part with no emotion at all. But Beyonce has so much emotions even in the highest peak of the song. She really has that signature that says, THIS SONG IS MINE.
Viviana Beltran charice did
Oh yes i can
He said that her voice has no personality 😂. They really muted Beyonce's singing in this movie!
Dominique Ni'kol honestly truly *Puts Meme in
Dominique Ni'kol "No personality." Beyoncé: * proceeds to blow like nobody's business in this song *
Dominique Ni'kol They had to, she was playing Deema who didn’t have a huge voice like Effie did, and Beyonce has a powerful voice wich is why they created this song.
I love all their songs
Well I think he was comparing to Effie's voice, which technically is true.
Jamie fox is a great actor
I love Curtis' look at 5:20; "Why do I have the feeling she's singing about me?"
Does anyone notice she goes from saying “I found the voice u gave to me,” to “I found the voice u THINK u gave to me “
vickyd3100
I Do
Yea?
Duh 🤦♀️
Beyonce played this role well because she could relate to it. Her best acting to date.
How could he not have chills after that? seriously.
This is one of the most emotional songs Beyonce has ever sung and it touches all parts of the soul.
OMG I got shivers through all my body.
same
I love your song
She's amazing.. She knows how to act, she's talented at singing -- damn that voice -- and she's a natural dancer (the "one night only" disco vid proves that)... Does she have any more movies?
Yes she also plays in Cadillac Records
+April Pil She was also in Fighting Temptations. And Austin Powers Goldmember but she doesn't sing much in that. Oh & the Pink Panther movie. Which isn't that great...I think this is my favourite film she is in.

+April Pil she is also in the movie obsessed which is AMAZING! she kicks some serious ass in that movie LOL
Moniica Mariie
The reason why i think Beyonce ( my wife) did so amazing in this movie was because it related sooo much to her life Deena being so much like her with destinys child and curtis being control or over working her like her father did when he was her manager so i think she gave it her all and it paid off and Jennifer woooof did spectacular this is the movie that set off her career and look at Jhud now shes on EMPIRE!!!!
+Brandon Mcmiller wow I never knew that she was on Empire
Exactly. And so many relationships have been sacrificed because of her father. Good thing she's on her own now.
i wish she would sing more songs like this
not only is this song extremely powerful and inspiring but it just adds to Beyoncé's sex appeal even more. There's something incredibly attractive about when women find themselves and realize that they can do for themselves what men think they can't and that we have our own wings and we don't need a man's permission to fly. This is one of the many songs that make me so, so proud to be a female! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Very powerful and beautifully said 😊😊
Omg armyyyyyyy!!!💙
I love what she say but i feel the same way is beyouce still alive?i hope dont like the new 1😁
Pervert how did you sexualize this
I love her in this scene. She giving all these different faces to show her emotions and feelings. And it’s a powerful moment in the movie, you get to see that Deena has just been used as this tool to get them to their “dream” and nobody ever really care to hear her voice.
I also like how when they were in the studio and the engineer (guy sitting next to Curtis) is just bumping his head to her singing and Curtis looks worried. It’s because Deena has talent and can do this on her own, she doesn’t need him like he previously stated at the dinner table
This song is Beyonce's most powerful song that she sung from her heart.❤️❤️♥️♥️😢😭 This is the most powerful song to be ever placed on a movie period. 😢😭💟💟
I'm bawling right now this song makes me feel so powerful.
Nyah Crockett sameeee!!!!! Beyoncé slays this performance!
lol beyonce has that effect on people
this is sooooo iconic
You're picture is everything 😭😭
why do y'all keep comparing jennifer 's voice to beyoncé's? do y'all KNOW what beyoncé can do with her voice? she has operatic vocals, immaculate control. jennifer is an amazing vocalist & i personally think "and i am telling you" is a better vocal performance than "listen" but please kill the comparison. there is none, do the research on beyoncé 's vocals..
Right
this is when I decided I didn't hate beyonce anymore during this movie
Katherine Barnes SAME
you guys do realize it is a movie roll..omg its a part to play
But when she causes you to hate her, that's when you know that she's playing the role right.
sincerely katherine why did you hate her in the first place? She doesn't do anything to anyone she's a sweet woman people just love to hate on greatness though lol
ROYALTY _BEAUTI she's was talking about the character in the movie
Dream girls and Cadillac records are jer best movie. She did a great acting. Truely talented. That's why i can't just let someone disrespect Beyonce.
DRAG HIM
She sung that from the soul loved it
This is my favorite Beyoncé song of all time. Ive been in relationships like this and wished I had the strength to leave. Thankfully I'm now in a great relationship and couldn't be happier!
Beyonce is the voice of this generatiob Perioddddd...!!!
She's so beautiful there.. and this song is just amazing!
This song is still very strong and beautiful I absolutely love this Beyonce is so pretty and her voice has skill and something no other singer can accomplish is a song.
This song has changed me so deeply...I've heard a million times and still cry. First of she sings her ass off....beauty, talent, brains...whole package. Followed my dream and an international business manager i am now....against all those including hubby who didnt think i could and POW!! THANKS BEYONCE I LOVE YOU GIRL.
I love Bey her voice is amazing she sang her heart out in this scene We all felt Her ❤️❤️
One of the best scenes in the movie, VERY powerful and Beyonce's voice gave me goosebumps! I love this movie and this song!
This is one of the best songs in the whole film. Beyonce should do more songs like this one, it really suits her voice. I respect her so much more than i did before i saw this film and her latest music is WAY better than her old stuff. :D
Goosebumps, when she goes for it
Benny Blanco vibration power of the spirit
Voice? Beautiful. Lyrics? Beautiful. Beyonce? Perfect.
the tone of beyonces voice is unlike any other. brilliant how she delivers all of her emotion and brilliance on this song. BRAVO!
This song makes me cry
When Deena finds Effie's records. I love the pics behind Curtises desk
Jk
In the movie setting Andy Warhol would've painted that for Curtis.
This song make me cry #singitBey
years later and it still makes me tear up
Of course her voice is NOT human ! , SHE IS ABSOLUTLY AMAZING ! , and this is an UNDERSTATEMENT ! ! !
I don't even get why deena gets hate when clearly she and effie white is just a victim of music industry and... well yeah curtis too.
I die for movies like this again
Makayla K peep Roxanne Roxanne omg
Best Beyonce song for me
It’s crazy to think this movie truly did give us two all time classic musical performances from Jennifer and Beyoncé.
It’s been at least two years since I’ve seen this and she went off in the movie!! Queen!!🙌🏽🔥❤️🤩
The emotion is overwhelming. I get goose bumps every time. She is amazing!
I actaully cried the first time I heard this. Outstanding. The voice of an angel.
Such POWER and EMOTION
She sang her whole face off and throat out of her neck with this one. 👐
WHO IS LISTENING TO THIS IN 2016 I AM 💯💯💯💜💜💜
I am!

That's because she means it. If you mean it, you make wonders
Simply... THE PERFECTION !!!!!
Beyoncé you are pretty and I am fan do not listen to what people say
Love her voice she is so amazing
She is so beautiful it almost hurts
Damn man this is just such a powerful scene.... This is the best version of this song hands down!!! even when she sings it live its just not as emotional as it is in this scene right here!!!!!! I flippin love her sooo much!
At 4:01 is when you can see the passion in her voice. It is unbelievable. If she did more songs like this then her name would be even bigger!
The best voice ever, Beyoncé!
this song is the bomb.when she sang it everybody listened,she made sure of it.she came out of her shell ,and waled out this song
Grrzrrrrrrr. Why is she so perfect
QUEEN BEYONCE
Wow! I love this song. Im a fan but not hugely of Beyonce but this I would say is her best song yet. U can tell there's truth and honesty there & it come out in her voice. Brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. Bravo Beyonce
She has it for real
Beyonce KILLS this song! That jaw just opens! Incredible! I will WILL concur this song!
You can feel it soooo much in fill blast like omfg I cried
@5:09 made my cry with the chills!!

I love Beyonce. I love her in everything she does. She's a perfectionist and tries hard to give 100.1% of her best
still listening and loving in 2017 😍
This song is amazing
I've never seen her break out in such emotion! It's absoulutly amazing!!!
This one and Jennifer Hudsons performances in this movie were amazing. Two very strong voices.
Legend.
This is the song that does justice to her voice -- wow!
It's amazing how sometimes people can give us the strength we need to believe in ourselves and then once we do we realize that they are imperfect wayyy more than we were in the beginning.
I've been there but this song here has opened my mind and heart to know that it's my voice that I will follow from hear on.
men and women just listen please we all have feelings
Paul Mccall this can surely go both ways
Still getting chills listening it in 2019
Ya
I LOVE her, i Really do
❤this songs,show him ,blow it out the water 🔥🥰💯
I love been married 21 years sometimes l feel like this but I raised 3 loving kids now it's my time
some of Jennifer Hudson and Beyoncé best songs came from this movie
her voice, her feeling and her helplessness, make this song perfect!the best scence ot this great movie.
B looks GREAT with these old school outfits and hairstyles. She just rocks them.
Um , he tried it 💁🏽💁🏽💁🏽 I'm so glad she finally stood up for herself . One of my fav songs by Beyoncé to this day . There's just so much power behind it , it really set the scene off .
beyond can sing and so can I just like her
no matter how many times i listen to this, i always get GOOSEBUMPS.
This girl can sing. I never really liked Beyonce all that much but after this song, she has changed my feelings for her as a Singer. She needs to be making more songs like this, really put her talent out there you know. I gurantee that if she makes more songs like this she would be more successful in the singing business. =)
