Who Killed It??? Beyonce or Celine Dion?
Posted by Media Outrage on January 2, 2009
A little while ago Destinys Child performed their hit song “Emotions” with Celine Dion. They all did their thing but between the two mega stars Beyonce and Celine, who really put it down? Both have angelic voices.
Yea I Said It said
I would have to say my gir bey!!! You know how we like to hold a note and drag a song out. Hell we can sing the same song from the time you wake up til you go back to bed at night before we finish…. Celine held her own, but you know I love me some beyonce.
Alesha said
Beyonce did the damn thing! They both sounded great though.
reese said
I Like Both Celine and Beyonce as artist to me it look like
Bey was Saying “Imma have to show out cause i am singing with celine Dion” Both did they thing.
Poor kelly and michelle they looked so out of place.
They should have just took their mics and just moved to the left to the left like the backup singers they are.
Helen said
Well it is Beyonce’s song so she should have killed it. I love Celine’s voice. Hard to compare. It would be like Beyonce singing with Celine live and doing one of Celine’s songs you know? They both sounded excellent. Love both their voices. But if I had my choice I would pay to see Celine in concert before BEy.
Random said
I’m sorry but Beyonce doesn’t compare to Celine..
Yasmine T. said
LMAO! @ Reese.
I was thinking the same thing. Poor poor Michelle and Kelly. I guess they serve their purpose of making Beyonce look good.
Bey did hehr thing but she looked like she was trying to prove she could outsing Celine. She’s a show off lol. I don’t think her voice is actually better than Celine’s but it was Bey’s song and Celine wasn’t trying to upstage her.
Lai'Lani said
Beyonce killed it! Love Celine have a few of her cd’s. Beyonce’s voice is more soulful. Celine’s is more angelic. LOL @ Yasmine.
Miss E said
Random & Yasmin T – I agree with both of you! Bey was truly showing off on stage because she was on stage with someone who could blow her a$$ out of the ball park!
Yasmine T. said
don’t you see it too Miss E? This heffah is always trying to steal someone’s shine. She is already immensley talented never a need to try and shine. Her talent will speak for itself. She really waited for her part to come so she could sing even “harder” in an attempt to sway the crowd and get more claps LOL LOL! Beyonce sit your selfish ass down!
Beyonce_Stan said
I disagree. Beyonce was not trying to upstage Celine. She always sings the song just like that. YouTube the song and the live performances and you will see that she always adds a little flare in person. They both sounded great. No need to compare.
reese said
Yasmine T. i thought the same thing
she was trying to show out it would have been much better if she would have just sang it like it was suppose to be
Marathon_Man said
bey laid the smack down on celine lol
Yasmine T. said
Reese exactly. Everyone here on M.O. knows that I don’t care for Beyucka but I do give her props all the time on her voice and talent. As a person I just think she’s not all that. But in this instance it is obvious that she was trying to sing harder just to make sure the spotlight stayed on her. SMH. That’s egotistical. The media paints this chick out to be a saint and I’m just like keep it real. Oh and BEyonce_Stan your name speaks for itself. lol. don’t believe you’re being objective.
Random said
Key word “TRIED”..Once again she doesn’t even come close to Celine..give me a break!!
Beyonce_Stan said
@ Random your ears must not work.
@ Yasmine once again YouTube her other performances.
She has no reason to try and upstage anyone. She’s already one of the biggest music stars in the world. SMH at the hate.
Cyndy said
Love Celine but Beyonce made it rain on her lol.
beach chick said
Bey tore the house down!
CaramelKiss said
Happy New Year’s MO readers!
. I’m back with my two cents in the ‘09. So here goes. I think everyone has a point regarding Bey.
But here’s another way of looking at it… If you are on stage with someone(Celine)who has an Octave on par with Mariah and Whitney and pretty much can hit ANY note ever known to man, are you going to bring anything else than your A-Game? I think she stepped it up a notch or four and of course if she was on stage with Ashanti, Christina Milian, or even Rihanna, she coulda did a couple shots of Henny AND a line of coke and STILL woulda blown those bishes outta tha water. LOL. You know I’m right. *Two snaps*
Cyndy said
lmao!!!! @ CaramelKiss. lol
Paul said
I don’t think Beyonce tried to out shine anyone. She always sings with that kind of emotion. They are different types of singers. There is no better between the two.
Random said
@Beyonce_Stan..they’ve been functioning up till now..perhaps you should look into this Obsession with this chic..it’s unhealthy…
Vanessa said
Poor Michelle and Kelly. LOL.
Republican Voter said
I’m with Random there is no comparison. Beyonce couldn’t out sing Celine Dion even if she were Celine Dion. Bring someone better for Celine M.O.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO THE OBAMA LOVERS LOL.
Udamnright said
Republican Voter you’re trippin’.
There is a comparison.
Keep it real Bey has an amazing voice you might not feel her but don’t say she’s not in Celine’s league. SMH at people doing crack this early in the morning.
Bey shut this sh*t down!
Random said
exactly@Republican_Voter..now if you brought in Whitney or the old Mariah…I could understand..but Beyonce..that’s a joke! lol
Udamnright said
Random you my girl and everything but You joking right? Beyonce could outsing Mariah’s wack ass any day of the year. Then again it all depends on what kind of sound you like but let’s not act like Bey’s vocals are not the truth.
Yasmine T. said
lol @ Random.
I disagree. Bey’s voice is as strong as Celine’s. I just think bey tried to outshine her lol.
CrystalShine said
I can’t even respond lol @ these post. I love Celion, and bey did her thing.
reese said
Exactly Caramel kiss thats what i was saying if anyone was to get on stage with someone that they is a legend or has one of the most powerful voices you gonna try your best to sing till your vocal cords collapse i did not knock her singing cause i do like her music
but it is what is is.
And Beyonce_stan your name says it all
Random said
@Udamnright..No hard feelings here
…we disagree on a lot of things..(this being one of them)..I personally don’t think she’s got a good voice..that’s a matter of opinion..I think people in general give her too much credit..I don’t think she’s as bad as Ashanti but I certainly don’t think she’s anything to go crazy over..that’s just me though..;)
Udamnright said
lol nah Random that’s cool. Everyone is definitely entitled to their own opinion. Let me hear my girl say something like that and i’m gona smack her teeth out lol. jokes.
Beyonce_Stan said
@ Reese it’s just a user name I chose.
Yasmine T. check this video….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nM7JaFV6Ng&feature=related
She sang it the same exact way with only Kelly and Michelle. So who was she trying to shine on here? Just give Bey her credit and stop hatin….
Jenny From The Block said
Two different styles.
If they were really in competition Celine would really MAKE IT RAIN ALL OVER BEY. LOL. SORRY.
Random said
lmao@Udamnright
Udamnright said
lol I haven’t heard any of Celine’s albums. But my girl actually likes Celine. But let her say it… lol and I got my back hand ready
Positive Thought said
lol @ yasmine. bee was trying too hard to shine lol.
Random said
@Udamnright…You see..she knows what’s up lmao..sorry!!
Udamnright said
lol @ Random.
noneofyabizness said
Can’t compare. 2 different styles. Both have great voices. Bey was doin her thang though.
Hovy's Home said
they both tore it down. i actually agree with beyonce_stan. bey performs like that all the time.
2thick4u said
I love this performance!!!
It sounded GREAT!!!!
Beyonce always outshined the other Destiny Child’s members…but she didn’t outshine Celine.
They both are great diva’s!!!
cupcakestl said
They both rock the house!
Rachel said
Great performance
Lindsay said
As always Beyonce over did it. She was trying to shine on Celine.
Aryan Nation said
Never a time that I hear Beyonce sing that she doesn’t exceed my expectations.
1coolazzchic said
this is one of my favorite songs ever, both the bee gee’s and destiny’s childs version. the whole time in sittin here listenin and fighting back tears…(its emotions takin me over after all) i was thinking umm why the hell is celine out there. she had no place in my song. she basically messed it up. was it her show or something, is that why she was there? poor lil kelly and michelle they couldnt even think to adlib their parts like bey. at least she let em sing it wit her though lol. kelly did sound ok. michelle sounds like she smokes a pack an hour.
g555 said
hahaha @ “michelle sounds like she smokes a pack an hour.”
her voice is mad raspy
Atlanta said
I don’t know yall…I think Celine got her on this one. If Bey was trying to shine on Celine it did not work.
Truly23 said
I have to concur Atlanta… She should’ve practiced a lil more…
1coolazzchic said
you’se a hater bff.
Yvonne said
I can’t pick one over the other. They both sound great. In fact, IMO, the entire group did justice to the song.
Beyonce had a larger singing part but Celine is in a category by herself just like Beyonece is.
I remember that song when it sung by one of the Bee Gees’s brother and Barbra Streistand.
They did a great job.
Yvonne said
Oops, it was NOT the Bee Gees’s little brother and Barbra who sang Emotions it was Samantha Sand.
Truly23 said
lol@1coolazzchic
I’m just saying… She should’ve stayed in the shower like
15 or 20 min. more then she probably would’ve had it!!!
Smurfette said
I think that Stank-oncye has always performed this song well. But to compare her to Celine is like someone comparin Rihanna to Whitney! Come the fuck on
Yea I Said It said
LMAO!!!!! @ SMURF… Damn what in the world is stank-oncye…hahahaha. you got me,I love bey but that was funny
Citrus Zells. said
woow, I say Celine becuase she did a GREAT job at corporating her style with theirs.
diversity always wins in my book.
__but they all did a phenominal job. indeed…
Angel said
Both women killed it. Their voices are somewhat different in tone but are the best in their respective rights. I like Beyonce’s music better but Celine’s voice is angelic.
Angel said
I don’t think Beyonce was trying to shine on her. She always sings like that.
JJ Evans said
Bee made it rain and monsoon all over Celine.
@ #33- Jenny from the block: stop smokin that sh*t. lol
ucanb2 said
I agree they are two totally different style of artists. Taking nothing away from Celine…. But Bey sang the hell out of that song!!!
Jenny From The Block said
@ JJ Evans lol I’m not smoking anything. I have seen both Celine and Beyonce sing in person and I feel that Celine’s voice is stronger. Beyonce has a killer voice too but in this particular performance I felt Celine. If there was a contest I believe Celine would MAKE IT RAIN AND THUNDERSTORM ALL OVER BEY LOL. just my opinion.
Bob 55 said
Celine Dion killed it better. Beyonce did a whole bunch of riffing that wasn’t necessary.
Leslie said
Celine Dion.
Celine has the best voice I have ever heard besides Whitney Houston.
Beyonce can hold her own though.
noneofyabizness said
They have different styles and neither one shined on the other. It’s not like Celine sang the entire song. Michelle and Kelly should have just walked off stage lol.
NYC said
Celine make it rain on BEyonce? Ha!
Bey killed the joint.
Missdcakamse said
CELINE IS A TRUE DIVA!!!
Giligan's Island said
Celine Dion could never make it rain on Beyonce. What do people on here smoke? I need some lol.
Y2K said
Celine would never shine on Bey not even if they were singing one of Celine’s.
Carrie said
Oh please this proves nothing of course the fans going to pick Beyonce the most they kiss her butt next thing you know people going say she better then WHITNEY, ARETHA, PATTI, ETC!!!! Beyonce maybe hot, but she will never compare to these DIVA’S the better question is what do her fans be smoking Celion Dion made every list there is out there when it comes to who are the best vocalist where was Beyonce on that Rolling Stone list?
