@@jxhanlovesuyeah but it was made for Beyonces album, so it would’ve fit if she made it for her album. The fact she cut it out of her album shows that what’s good to one person isn’t good enough for her. She’s too good.
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.
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.
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
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.
@@loupcaldeira when people credit her they dont really credit her voice they credit her as a performer. Her voice is not given the credit it deserves. Her voice is so controlled and she has an AMAZING vocal range. And the way her voice has matured over time👌. That is basically what they mean
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.
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.
KJ Beast I think it has just enough. It’s supposed to be like a possessiveness, but maybe Bey scrapped because some people would think it’s aggressive.
@@antoniodabaddestpolk7499 it’s not a bad thing to not be “oomph” ones just aggressive while the other one is simply not I prefer the less aggressive take on the song
Aniyah& Brittany TV this song was gonna be on Bey’s self titled album that came out in 2013. Guess she didn’t want it so she passed and since Pharrell wrote and produced it he gave it to Ari and they made it her own. So yeah blue was still really wittle 🥺😭 and I think she said who messed with my baby 🧐😂
Ari’s version is for like the little girls who day dream about their crush And Beyoncé’s version is for the women who know they finna get married to they man 👏🏼😍
One thing about Beyonce’ she gone have the dopest arrangements and harmonies in her songs. She takes her TIME with jsut one song, that’s all her albums are classics. She makes quality albums.
@SLAY MOONLIGHT Beyoncé uses melismatic , lyric , dynamic phrasing in her harmonies, each layer may have a variation in octave level. I do listen to Ariana since I love her tone but you cannot simply say that her musicality or technique is better than Beyoncé's. It's like comparing Maria Callas or Joan Sutherland to Diana Damrau, a pure, pushed reach.
This has more flavor than Ariana’s version for sure, but I like the sweetness and simplicity of Ariana’s version. It fits the album’s sound more. But I love the sassiness Bey’s version has!!!
ari and beyonce should do a duet version of this song a lot of people are saying they like the ari or beyonce version better but both versions are great
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.
It’s crazy because when Ari album dropped and I heard this song. I was like “oou this is a cute r&b beat something that beyoncé could’ve sung” AND THEN I FIND OUT BEYONCÉ RECORDED A VERSION OF IT SKFBKDJDD. I love that :)) Both of versions are super cute.
This is the Beyoncé sound I live for... I wish she’d release more music like this instead of songs like apeshit etc. Bey’s vocal harmonies and musicality is just impeccable.
Candie Luvv I know, she being that hip hop ish since Bug a boo! But she has went more to that hip hop side now..you know like kinda staying trap Yoncé, I love Trap Yoncé too! But I just want a good soulful ballad again and some some like this^^^ kinda like a B’day 2.0 with some 4 & self titled lol but true! No shade to Bey at all!
xxLovelyDay22xx she's had one album that was a bit more hip hop-ish. But even on that album she sang a lot. And "Lemonade" was all singing. It's weird how folks think Beyonce has just abandoned that thing that has made her great to become an MC. She's one of the most versatile artist in the game. But singing is always gonna be her thing.
CHEETAH69 I know, Lemonade isn’t a hip hop album at all! It has way more singing songs than hip hop ish songs...but she does show more ratchet bey now days, her songs isn’t necessary family friendly now days! I like my Trapyoncé but I do want more of that DIL, BDay, & 4 vibes...I know she hasn’t abandoned singing! But her vibe kinda of now days is more trapè now a beyhive member had a post saying which Bey do want more of ratchet, revolution, pop/r&b queen, & another one I can’t think of right now, & some said more “ratchet” bey, some said more of the pop/r&b Queen & etc.. but Beyoncé hasn’t really had a solo ballad that really showed off her vocals in a while, Now her vocals on perfect were so beautiful to me!!💕 Her vocals on Walk on water were so angelic & powerful!💕 This song here Wake up is so great to me! I love the feel good vibes , I like the upbeatness then it slows down then it gets back upbeat! Kinda give me 90’s vibes... btw I’m bumping EIL right now lol💕
@@Lovelydays4ever did you really listen lemonade? Beacuse sandcastle, pray you catch me, love drought and all night are right there! And seftitled had heaven, xo, pretty hurts, blue, no Angel and rocket.... you all are annoying saying beyonce has stopped signing when it's not true, what some of you want is beyonce to sing those boring ed sheeran type of ballad!!
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
Marija Navickaite did I ever say that? U can say ur preference just don’t bring down the other preference. Like don’t say I preferred this, aris versions crap. Just leave out the aris versions crap bit if you get me
0:56 Her vocals in the back singing wake up are so angelic. Beyoncé should’ve released this song. Ariana version is good but Beyoncé version gives it a different vibe.
I like both versions. Ariana’s has a softness that I think the bey version lacks but I feel like bey also has something ari lacks and the ending of this is so cute.
ari does have softness , but just because bey didn’t wanna use it in wake up does mean it lacks it, it just means bey didn’t wanna use softness in this song . it’s great how it is, so using the word lacks is absurd .
KingofMeereen No shit. They’re two different people, with two different voices. They’re both amazing, but I prefer Ari’s and if you can’t deal with my opinion go vent somewhere else
hate i don’t think it’s hating on your opinion. I think they are pointing out southern colloquialisms that Ari nor others could carry like a singer from the south, preferably Bey. “Aye Der, boi “ isn’t exactly northeast. Lol both versions are great but as a WOC I’m glad AG didn’t say it. I would have cringed.
I’m an Arianator but this feels like so matured like Ari’s for us, teens, who dream about their crush while this Bey’s version sounds like for woman who’s ready to marry her bf or a wife reminiscing the moments w/ her husbands. Both are wonderful and have diff vibes
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.
@@banheesos I like bey’s version but it doesn’t really fit the bold power that Beyoncé has in most of her songs. It perfectly fits Ari’s light and soft angelic voice
[Intro] I don't wanna wake, wake [Verse 1] Excuse me? Um, I love you Who starts a conversation like that? Nobody but I do But you are not a picture, I can't cut you up or hide you I'll get you out my mind, hmm, I try to Why you? In my dreams, I knew You knew how to be there, you knew how to treat it You knew how to keep it, I wanna do more than touch you I'm tryna turn two single people into a couple What's your next month like? Tell me what you up to We can leave right now, nigga, you don't need a duffle La Perla, provocateur of secrets How is it a secret if I know you're gonna peep it? I see you peeking, don't wanna hear a peep Wait [Chorus] Before you speak, don't move 'Cause I don't wanna wake up Wake up, wake up, wake up Don't wanna wake up, oh Wake up, wake up, wake up You're such a dream If you can believe? Boy you're such a dream to me, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] Hey there, boy, I love you I'm feeling like I know you, I can't help but wanna thug you I'm watching all these broads trying so damn hard But I can't even blame 'em 'cause you're so irresistible I want to stand and yell, I won't ever dare to tell I think I heard some wedding bells (keep that to yourself) Is this real? Ooh child, I can stop praying now Past life, let's rewind To the day when I met you Throwback Dear God, how could I forget you? Your sex Boy, it feels just like a dream to me Now [Chorus] Before you speak, don't move 'Cause I don't wanna wake up Wake up, wake up, wake up Don't wanna wake up, oh Wake up, wake up, wake up You're such a dream (You're such dream) If you can believe? Boy you're such a dream to me, yeah, yeah [Bridge] So to whom It may concern Please don't disturb me Can't you see? I'm happy, happily sleep, yeah [Chorus] Before you speak, don't move 'Cause I don't wanna wake up Wake up, wake up, wake up I don't wanna wake up, oh Wake up, wake up, wake up You're such a dream (You're such dream) If you can believe? Boy you're such a dream to me, yeah, yeah [Outro: Beyoncé & Blue Ivy] *Baby Noises* Ma ma, ma ma (Don't mess with my baby They better not mess with my baby)
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)
killa sk Beyonce is wayyy more thuggish - tasteful- smooth and soulful. Ariana’s “swaglessness” ruins it. The way Beyonce annunciates and the swing she adds to the way she sings it adds a completely different atmosphere and feeling to it. Ariana’s does not have the soul and blackness to sing this song LOL.
@@flexulant did you really just call beyonce thuggish?? and described Ariana with swaglessness? Ariana's sounds a lot more like R.E.M. than Beyonce's does.
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. 💛
cheetos ff ik that hun, that still doesn’t take from my comment that it was originally for Beyoncé to sing and that she let Ari sing it. My comment wasn’t even negative or involved Pharell so idk why your comment was needed.
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. Btw sorry if this is a long comment.
It's amazing how three different people can sing the same exact note, and they will reach come out sounding COMPLETELY different based on timbre/tonality, nasality and other vocal nuances that I don't even know. The voice is truly amazing.
But Beyoncé’s runs and harmonies are completely next level. The songs are completely different honestly the “Nananananana” that Bey does throughout the song is so heavenly.
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

I like both versions. Ariana’s has a softness that I think the bey version lacks but I feel like bey also has something ari lacks and the ending of this is so cute.
Cheyenne Rose it would have been a perfect collab
wouldn’t use the word lacks.
ari does have softness , but just because bey didn’t wanna use it in wake up does mean it lacks it, it just means bey didn’t wanna use softness in this song . it’s great how it is, so using the word lacks is absurd .
dopecope55 what beyoncés song is just a demo
Cheyenne Rose soulful but ari’s is fire 🔥 Too
I love the "na na na na na na" and how it starts off with "excuse me, I love you" both versions are so good
The right attitude for this beat I’m not even a big Beyoncé fan but this I can appreciate woii
My same thought. I'm not a huge crazy Bey fan but when she ride the beat on songs like this I can appreciate her music
can someone edit where it’s both versions together? like a collab? that’d be sick
I need that in my life
it should be easy, it's even in the same key
they did already
i see u everywhere
Imma try that actually
“ay dere, boy, I LOVE YOU!” i’m so glad Ari didn’t say that cus she would’ve sounded a whole mess💀
😂 yeah, Ari was just like “ excuse me, um.. I love you “ 😂😂
hate nah, Ari doesn’t have the same bite as Bey
KingofMeereen No shit. They’re two different people, with two different voices. They’re both amazing, but I prefer Ari’s and if you can’t deal with my opinion go vent somewhere else
hate i don’t think it’s hating on your opinion. I think they are pointing out southern colloquialisms that Ari nor others could carry like a singer from the south, preferably Bey. “Aye Der, boi “ isn’t exactly northeast. Lol both versions are great but as a WOC I’m glad AG didn’t say it. I would have cringed.
😂😂😂💀💀💀
Both of the versions are great. Stan culture is so weird.. everything has to be a war for y'all 💀
This version is amazing 🥺 Ari’s is like, dreamy and soft while Beyonce’s feels so rich and elegant. Love both of em 🥺✨
that "nananananana" holds more talent than most people in the game, sorry i don't make the rules!!
she has such amazing control over her voice
Nah but FR!
it sent chills through my WHOLE BODY AND SOUL I SWEARRR
Yo rs I said the same thing 🤣🤣🤣
Both versions of this song is good but it all depends what vibe you're looking for.
exactly
“ooo child i can stop praying now” is the most delicious thing i’ve ever heard
I’m an Arianator but this feels like so matured like Ari’s for us, teens, who dream about their crush while this Bey’s version sounds like for woman who’s ready to marry her bf or a wife reminiscing the moments w/ her husbands. Both are wonderful and have diff vibes
bey sounds so angelic, this version SLAP.
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.
yes! they put their own sauce into their versions and they’re both unique and beautiful
OMGGGGG I KNEW I heard that “dunununununun” part before! She put it in Black Is King too! I’m such a stan😂
Wait what?
Guhh fr
@@aboutbeyonce6490 Yup! I believe its in Find Your Way Back
Ari: Excuse me umm..I love you
Beyonce: 'Ey there boy..I love you
0:11
Y’all this the grown & sexy version 🤣😍😍😍
sariah jackson PERIODT 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Queen bey probably thought the locals weren't ready for the sexiness of this version so she gave it to someone cutesy like Ari. :>
Manu Villacarillo and she angelically executed it :$
@@banheesos I like bey’s version but it doesn’t really fit the bold power that Beyoncé has in most of her songs. It perfectly fits Ari’s light and soft angelic voice
[Intro]
I don't wanna wake, wake
[Verse 1]
Excuse me? Um, I love you
Who starts a conversation like that? Nobody but I do
But you are not a picture, I can't cut you up or hide you
I'll get you out my mind, hmm, I try to
Why you? In my dreams, I knew
You knew how to be there, you knew how to treat it
You knew how to keep it, I wanna do more than touch you
I'm tryna turn two single people into a couple
What's your next month like? Tell me what you up to
We can leave right now, nigga, you don't need a duffle
La Perla, provocateur of secrets
How is it a secret if I know you're gonna peep it?
I see you peeking, don't wanna hear a peep
Wait
[Chorus]
Before you speak, don't move
'Cause I don't wanna wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Don't wanna wake up, oh
Wake up, wake up, wake up
You're such a dream
If you can believe?
Boy you're such a dream to me, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Hey there, boy, I love you
I'm feeling like I know you, I can't help but wanna thug you
I'm watching all these broads trying so damn hard
But I can't even blame 'em 'cause you're so irresistible
I want to stand and yell, I won't ever dare to tell
I think I heard some wedding bells (keep that to yourself)
Is this real?
Ooh child, I can stop praying now
Past life, let's rewind
To the day when I met you
Throwback
Dear God, how could I forget you?
Your sex
Boy, it feels just like a dream to me
Now
[Chorus]
Before you speak, don't move
'Cause I don't wanna wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Don't wanna wake up, oh
Wake up, wake up, wake up
You're such a dream
(You're such dream)
If you can believe?
Boy you're such a dream to me, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
So to whom
It may concern
Please don't disturb me
Can't you see?
I'm happy, happily sleep, yeah
[Chorus]
Before you speak, don't move
'Cause I don't wanna wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
I don't wanna wake up, oh
Wake up, wake up, wake up
You're such a dream
(You're such dream)
If you can believe?
Boy you're such a dream to me, yeah, yeah
[Outro: Beyoncé & Blue Ivy]
*Baby Noises*
Ma ma, ma ma
(Don't mess with my baby
They better not mess with my baby)
thx
Thank youu❤❤❤
I never knew this was Beyoncé’s first omg! Both versions are beautiful
I love both versions but Beyonce's just hit different
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)
Ariana’s is flat and boring. Sorry! Beyoncé knows how to speak all the emotions with her singing.
Allan M. Hanson did he ask you HE SAID I (PREFER)
same i like ari’s more
Actually I am Sasha fierce is better than Beyonce's self titled album lol
joe a definitely reminds me of 4 😍😍
I think I would stick with Beyoncé’s verses and Ariana’s chorus
Daniel Valadez I agree
The chorus is beautiful lowered down to a few notes!! Like Ariana did it!!
yep
Daniel Valadez they should’ve combined, 2 great minds are better than 1 especially since they’re both musically gifted 🔥🔥
me too!
0:47 wow her voice is so rich in the lower register 😍
Bey needs to release this, this went hard
I don’t think she can bc Ariana owns the song now
@@Reiprz dang smh this song was golden lol
@@glamchik13 well good thing we have yt or else we wouldn’t have known abt it
Beyoncé’s version sounds more grown and womanly and Ariana sounds more girly...
killa sk Beyonce is wayyy more thuggish - tasteful- smooth and soulful. Ariana’s “swaglessness” ruins it. The way Beyonce annunciates and the swing she adds to the way she sings it adds a completely different atmosphere and feeling to it. Ariana’s does not have the soul and blackness to sing this song LOL.
FLEXULANT the “blackness”? that’s stupid, the term you need to use is soul
Evan Brown no ..... it’s blackness ... LOL
Totally agree! I'm more of Ari fan, but this version is the one that really sends me there.
@@flexulant did you really just call beyonce thuggish?? and described Ariana with swaglessness? Ariana's sounds a lot more like R.E.M. than Beyonce's does.
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. 💛
I love how their personalities SHOW through the sooong I LOVE THIS SONG ON BOTH OF THESE QUEENS
Ariana version = sprinkle sprinkle ✨✨ Beyoncé version = drip drip 💧💧 just depends on what you like
She should’ve released this, def wish I could get this on Apple Music.
Meme Matthews right??
Imagine the bops she's hiding from us
Monkah18 no it’s not
Monkah18 But Beyoncé didn’t cover 😂 it was Beyoncé song first
Monkah18 are you dumb? These are demos from waaay back lmao dont try it without knowing facts even google it
just download it with YTDdownloader and convert it to audio then send it to your phone via iTunes. easy
I still can’t believe this was originally Bey’s song at first but I’m glad she let Ari do it bc both versions are 😍😍😍
lmao pharell williams wrote it and he produced the sweetener album which has ari's version
cheetos ff ik that hun, that still doesn’t take from my comment that it was originally for Beyoncé to sing and that she let Ari sing it. My comment wasn’t even negative or involved Pharell so idk why your comment was needed.
@@kbreezysmith beyonce had no control over if ariana used it or not
Extraordinary Machine once again, duh, ik that. The comment was complimentary and I like both versions. Please read before telling me nonsense.
@@kbreezysmith you literally said Beyonce "let her" use it two times. She didn't
Just realised she sampled the nananana at the start in Black Is King
which song is it in?
@@agirl3593 find your way back. someone isolated the extra vocals so ill add a link
@@agirl3593 czcams.com/video/2xnVX9mb4s0/video.html
it says this is from 2018.... it feels just as fresh and new and beautiful as ever. xoxo you are a dream to me.
This was recorded back in like 2013
People always commenting about losing their damn hair 😂
HAAAAAHAHHAA
U gotta problem with that child
It’s called “snatching wig”
tama’s pajamas and most of them are probably bald lol
tama’s pajamas I’ve been bald because of Bey 😩😂😂😂
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. Btw sorry if this is a long comment.
Why everything Beyoncé touches turns to be sexy & grown ? Damn !
It's amazing how three different people can sing the same exact note, and they will reach come out sounding COMPLETELY different based on timbre/tonality, nasality and other vocal nuances that I don't even know. The voice is truly amazing.
Who's the 3rd?
0:00-0:07 shounds like it was inspired by aaliyah🕊🕊
Stepho YESSSS
Yup
yggonyii I WAS THINKING THAT TTOOOO OHMG YESS
yggonyii nah
yggonyii I said the same thing 💕 homage
i can easily see this in 4 or the self-tilted
felipeson self titled for sure
It was for Self-Titled, but Beyoncé scrapped it from the album and gave the song to Ariana.
it's definitely for self titled
Vibe wise this would fit most with Dangerously in Love.
@@dawudjibreel6075 omg not at all
this is amazing but ariana really DID something with the "bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bammm"
It elevates it so much and gives it that dreamy vibe
i’m glad someone pointed this out
agreeeed
so true
But Beyoncé’s runs and harmonies are completely next level. The songs are completely different honestly the “Nananananana” that Bey does throughout the song is so heavenly.
Why the heck didn’t Bey put this song on Self Titled?😭💔 it really suited the album
Literally mad because it’s not Apple Music
Seriously tho this would’ve complemented rocket so well
no shade... but y’all saying beyoncé version is better like that is a surprise lol the Queen is too versatile we already knew she can do no wrong
Period
i feel the same fuckin way
True but mi gente was not good
@@beepbop6715 u not goid child get tf off
@@beepbop6715 good*
The harmonies give me life actually Queen Bey gives me life
Can’t believe Pharell had a demo of this song even before Beyoncé, all three versions sound so good
This is my favorite version of the song. Bey killed it.
Ari’s sounds like an actual lullaby like she’s actually in a dream and this one sounds like a sensual version but they both are amazing 😍
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
yes I completely agree
they really should’ve collaborated
Your right ariana sounds like a lulubye and bey makes me want to wake up they are both good
I agree 🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
Same thoughtsss
some of yall better put some respect on Beyoncé name , keep calling her aggressive & shit . OKAY & WHAT ABOUT IT
EXACTLY. WHAAAA HAAAAAPIIIIN'!!??? 😂😂😂
this is the closest to a collaboration we will ever get 😭
This sounds so good. Imagine all the amazing songs Beyonce must keep in her vault and hasn't released officially like this one....
this is so Beyonce , i like this version best (non bias opinion cuz im a super Ari fan)
I like Beyonce's version much better, feels more soulful and grounded yet still goofy in love
