Can't compare Beyonce and Tori Kelly. Just like you can't compare Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, Lauryn Hill, Teena Marie, Adele etc. Completely different music styles. Both women did a PHENOMENAL job with this song !!!!!
Catalina Bernat keep in mind her setting. She's at a small venue where ya intimate being still. Beyoncé was on a world tour performing. She also did the cover after dancing and for a much bigger crowd. Either way they both did amazing.
Why do people feel the need to compare almost every female singer to Beyonce ?? Just Enjoy the music as they do...Geesh. 2 Amazingly Talented Women in music . This world has a disease of instantly making meaningless comparisons ...Cool it guys
"I keep letting you back in...how can I explain myself" Love Lauryn to pieces but also love how covers can bring out different lyrics in unique ways. I felt that lyric SO MUCH when Tori did that. Girl you DID that.
Vocally this was amazing but the best parts to any Lauren Hill song isnt just how she sings it but the emotion she pours into them and the connection you feel while listening. And that is what this is missing that simple sensation
After i just listen to this, my mom and I just have a conversation. I had been crying from a bad break up with someone who I loved more than myself, and as a man i was ashamed to be crying. Mom just told me it was okay to cry, let it out, cleanse yourself and win because Im a winner! Wow!! Thanks Tori for heloing me to heal a little bit more!!
dear all, please do me a favor and just enjoy the music for what it is. let's not make any comparisons (like beyonce) or bring her ethnicity into this. i'm not too sure what either of those things have to do with this video. i understand that it's nearly impossible to not make these comparisons but if you're just going to talk down about someone i would appreciate it if you refrain from leaving it as a comment. just a little fed up with seeing these types of comments fill my feed, with that being said happy viewing (: (& for the record tori comes from a mix of jamaican, puerto rican, german and irish descent. hope that clears up any confusion. and yes, beyonce's cover is great too)
Very pleasing to the ears. Just found out about this playing/singing Tori Kelly. I feel the ache in her voice even though it's soft and delicate as well.
I love Tori's voice. I think she is very original. I love this version of ex factor. I really don't understand why ppl are comparing her version to Beyonces. lol As much as I love queen bee. I definitely like this cover better. Cause tori took this song an made it her own. she sung it the way she would like to sing it as an artist herself. she put more of an acoustic sound to it. An I love it. Where as Beyonces cover is like the regular version. A cover of a song should never sound the same as the person who actually created the song. It's called a cover for a reason. lol I love both of their voices tho. But Tori Def makes me feel it more.
This comment is clearly biased and flawed. If Beyoncé's cover was "regular", that would mean its arrangement was almost similar to that's of Lauryn's. Which is *COMPLETELY* untrue. Now, what you're hearing between Tori and Bey is the variance in terms of what the settings call for and their vocal fachs and choices. Tori went with the original's mood while tweaking it up with some melisma, which you claim, "makes it her own". Beyoncé sang in a stadium and the atmosphere wasn't "intimate" at all, it had an aggressive "entertainment" feel. Now, both are immensely technical vocalist but the one who *TRULY* flipped up the song and made it hugely different, is *BEYONCÉ* . So stop with your unsubtle bullshit. :D
Tori Kelly's cover is waaay better than Beyoncé's. I hate to even compare bc I love Bey but dayum...Tori effortlessly slayed this song (color has nothing to do with it)! So glad Bey finally has competition with vocals.
Hands down, she's perfect! I hate the fact that insanely talented people like her is so underrated. I mean, you know I'm from Russia, a big country with a large population, and I swear unfortunately no one knows who Tori Kelly is,although this girl has such a strong voice that she alone can surpass the entire Russian show business,so I can say that her label don't deserve her because they don't even try to make a legend out of her even though she deserves it.
Why do people need to bring up Beyonce everywhere they go. I swear I see her everywhere on UA-cam. You sure are making her name tasty on your tongues, making beyonce more popular, and having this woman that you ride so hard for read these comments like its cool to hate on someone you don't know on a video that has nothing to do with Beyonce knowles. Everyone has covered this damn song.

This is awesome but it would be so much better without everyone screaming every 5 seconds... Why can't people just shut the hell up and enjoy the beautiful music without hooping and hollering
Can someone explain what you actually mean when you say someone has no soul in a song and no emotion .. because I don’t get it .. it seems to me the only person who can know if they have soul or emotion or not is the person who’s singing the song .. but someone explain
Get it!!!! She did a great cover :) it's called making it your own people she has talent y'all I bet you guys sound like farts out of a cow smh she's awesome don't be jealous
Tori is really a beast with it, no questions asked!!!! We just did our own cover to the same song, if anybody is interested just take a look at our page. We're Tori, but we have our own style!
just reading the comments you can tell who the beyhive is. beyonce has no soul. Tori does. Beyonce tries too hard to sound soulful, Tori didn't even have to try. also, to the people hating calling her a white girl, she's half white , and 1/4 Latino 1/4 black. open your eyes passed color and listen to the voice. she killed it!
Tori: "forces you to scream my name"
person: "TORIIIIII"
hahah I love it
This is one singer that I would never ever ever ever ever ever hate on......She calculates every note and every change unintentionally perfect!!!!
So true! Tori and her voice are both pure gifts from GOD!
Calculates and unintentional don’t work together
Can't compare Beyonce and Tori Kelly. Just like you can't compare Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, Lauryn Hill, Teena Marie, Adele etc. Completely different music styles. Both women did a PHENOMENAL job with this song !!!!!
Allie D yes I can. Tory is far better tbh but hey just my opinion
considering you can't even spell her name correct
Catalina Bernat keep in mind her setting. She's at a small venue where ya intimate being still. Beyoncé was on a world tour performing. She also did the cover after dancing and for a much bigger crowd. Either way they both did amazing.
Her voice is so soothing and raspy! I just can't 😣😣😩
after she riffed at 4:50 someone in the crowd riffed after her at 4:54 and gave me life 😭😍
yessss
lmao ok crowd audiance come thru
I heard that lol
wishing she would have a studio version of this cover
Agreed!
We can only hope !
Akiralue For Real
just like this it would be very beautiful and emotional...... without the annoying crowd always screaming and not enjoying the song
after lauryn hill, this is the only other person who does this song any justice! tori did a phenomenal job!
+RefugeeKLicious Check out Jp cooper's cover. just as good
+RefugeeKLicious Beyoncé did an amazing job too :)
RefugeeKLicious Check out Candince from "The Four"
JP Cooper.
Yes jp Cooper killed it
this has to be the best cover ive heard. wasn't overpowering, but hit all the right notes. in love.
Totally agree. Felt goosebumps
She is growing on me rapidly. I'm literally jumping out of my skin and clapping right now. That holy ghost type of way.
Omg at bout 4:55 when she did her run some1 had an epic harmonized run whoever it was spunded good
why don't I hear it?!?!
they actually did the run after she did her run, it wasn't harmonized...but it was so good
it was another harmonized run not the same as hers an adlib
I swear to god it's like she's not even tryin. She's just amazing
her runs are so unique and effortless.
Why do people feel the need to compare almost every female singer to Beyonce ?? Just Enjoy the music as they do...Geesh. 2 Amazingly Talented Women in music . This world has a disease of instantly making meaningless comparisons ...Cool it guys
I swear her voice is better than any female artist out right now.
"I keep letting you back in...how can I explain myself"
Love Lauryn to pieces but also love how covers can bring out different lyrics in unique ways. I felt that lyric SO MUCH when Tori did that. Girl you DID that.
Tori has that magical power of making you feel every word that she's singing and she does it so effortlessly!
Lauren Hill and Tori should do a collab!! that would be sweet af! slay queens 💃💪
Vocally this was amazing but the best parts to any Lauren Hill song isnt just how she sings it but the emotion she pours into them and the connection you feel while listening. And that is what this is missing that simple sensation

I never heard someone sing like this before. beyond amazing
I literally felt every word she just sang
+Brooklyn King It's called Ex factor by Lauryn Hill. the music video is nice too
She just gave me life with this cover! I literally got chills while listening to this. Tori Kelly is the truth!!!
One of the greatest songs ever written...my soul cries when I hear this song.
This album is an eternal masterpiece. A pure classic
Yeah seriously who is that in the audience? They sound so good.
dear all,
please do me a favor and just enjoy the music for what it is. let's not make any comparisons (like beyonce) or bring her ethnicity into this. i'm not too sure what either of those things have to do with this video. i understand that it's nearly impossible to not make these comparisons but if you're just going to talk down about someone i would appreciate it if you refrain from leaving it as a comment.
just a little fed up with seeing these types of comments fill my feed, with that being said happy viewing (:
(& for the record tori comes from a mix of jamaican, puerto rican, german and irish descent. hope that clears up any confusion. and yes, beyonce's cover is great too)
Nicely said and I agree.
That's the best comment on here. I enjoy anyone with a great voice and she has one. Enough said.
agreed but Jamaican is black, just letting you know.
yassss
Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans are both Black lol but okay
it's beautiful. no need 2 compare.
her voice is angelic. literally. slow it down. you can hear the reverberation and intricacy of her runs. wow.
I'll say this is one of my fav. Live performances
Very pleasing to the ears. Just found out about this playing/singing Tori Kelly. I feel the ache in her voice even though it's soft and delicate as well.
shes a beast with her vocals.
Tori is my favorite female vocalist
I love so much the crowd omg
Seriously. If Tori Kelly was any more perfect.. she'd have Wings 😇
this cover always brings me to tears so much emotion
effortlessly amazing
slayed ain't the word
She is just simply AMAZING!
tell me who I have to be to gain some reciprocity.....excuse me while I sit here in my feelings. love love love this cover more than anything!

If this were to ever get a studio version I'd stream it so much it would make it to the top ten within hours.
Who's still fan of this in 2019 ? I am

Lauryn Hill
It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
Is this just a silly game
That forces you to act this way?
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin', It ain't workin' (No, it ain't workin')
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy, this is crazy (This is crazy, uh-huh!)
I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself?
As painful as this thing has been
I just…
Who’s Here in 2024 😍
Killed beyonce's cover without even trying 😩💯 take notes bey and too the beyhive , suck it 😂😂
This is a great cover, but it's not even close to Beyonce.
Jordan Cannon you're right this isn't close to beyonce. this one is way better than beyonce!
+Jordan Cannon Beyoncé sings with no soul . Lol
+Ray Haros exactly !!
wow, very, very good
This is awesome but it would be so much better without everyone screaming every 5 seconds... Why can't people just shut the hell up and enjoy the beautiful music without hooping and hollering
OMG I'm dreaming of 1998
Nice cover❤️
oh man the feels lol 😏
*jaw drops*
Yeassssssssssss
Can someone explain what you actually mean when you say someone has no soul in a song and no emotion .. because I don’t get it .. it seems to me the only person who can know if they have soul or emotion or not is the person who’s singing the song .. but someone explain
Anyone know the tabs or how to play this
its a tad bit too slow for my liking
Get it!!!! She did a great cover :) it's called making it your own people she has talent y'all I bet you guys sound like farts out of a cow smh she's awesome don't be jealous
tori kelly isn't white smh
+badgalriri damn what an argument
does anyone know what chord pattern she is using?
She sung this from her ancestors souls
Tori is really a beast with it, no questions asked!!!! We just did our own cover to the same song, if anybody is interested just take a look at our page. We're Tori, but we have our own style!
guys don't you know what chords she's using?
just reading the comments you can tell who the beyhive is. beyonce has no soul. Tori does. Beyonce tries too hard to sound soulful, Tori didn't even have to try. also, to the people hating calling her a white girl, she's half white , and 1/4 Latino 1/4 black. open your eyes passed color and listen to the voice. she killed it!
