Beyonce Sings “Ave Maria” — VIDEO

she sounds great, i love her version..

i wonder if shitney could of done that. lol

go SASHA

#3, i dont think whitney could have dont that. mariah and whitney like to over do it. beyonce kept it simple and thats why its soo beautiful. it didnt need all the “ooohs’ and “aaaahs” long notes those singers always do in there songs like xtina

This is NOT Ava Maria! It’s her lyrics with “Ava Maria” thrown in to make it sound like the original.

Her version is alright… It’s a different song all together, & should not be mistaken for the original “Ava Maria”. That one is in Latin & depending on who sings it & the emotion/power of the voice can literally bring one to tears. The best version is Aaron Neville’s - His voice brought me to tears.

That’s not to say there haven’t been other versions as well: Shakespeare too. But, as I said before… Aaron Neville’s is the BEST!

Here is the link to a page with Latin lyrics, followed by English one’s. “Ava Maria” is a Marian Prayer: “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee…”

was that really all live? Cause when she sang AVEC MARIAAAAAAA

is seemed as if her mouth didnt move in the end any more but you could still hear the sound…….?

Strange

she is THE QUEEN

This is my favourite song from Beyonce’s album.
It is beautiful. This version was so touching, you can see the tears in her eyes. Beautiful.

Just love love her. Beautiful, great vocals, great peformer.

That was so beautiful, she’s lovely.

her vocals are amazing……i never heard her version .. i think i might just go and buy her new album

ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Id say it was a terrible version of the song, but it wasnt even Ave Maria so I guess it was just plain terrible. Who changes this song??? Also, her dress was inappropriate when St. Patrick’s is right behind her.

I love Beyonce. She looked amazing.
Who cares if the song was not the real Ave Maria.
The song is a total different song but she decided to keep the title seeing as she used the most famous line in the song.
She is so skilled to be able to take lyrics from the past and make it into her own.
GO BEYONCE!!!!!

She did amazing. I think I’m gonna go buy her album.

Holy does she have some singing chops.
She is one talented lady. She carries herself beautifully. I got to give it up to her for the fact that she really knows how to sell herself.
Great business woman.

I love this woman.
#1 in the game.

just one thing: THIS IS AN UNCERTAIN FAKER, folks!!

@ hello 1, he’s asking about britney (shitney) get it. not whitney or mariah. that girl couldn’t even sing amazing grace.

dang that was her best vocal performance i have ever seen. she just keeps getting better. that was beautiful

to andrea

She did the song. She does have the range and she is on TV doing it and performing it live. It’s already done. How can you say she doesn’t have the vocal range when she just did it.
I didn’t hear the crowd boo. I heard them cheer.

Actually andrea!!!

With Beyonce having a B2-B6, 3 Octave vocal range. She is more than qualified to sing with Andrea Bocelli.
Beyonce even has a higher octave range than Sarah Srightman
So seriously get your facts straight before you comment and make yourself into a fool.

I love Beyonce.

With 10 Grammy’s, three solo albums, four movies and a pret-a-porter line under her belt, it’s no surprise Beyonce Knowles blows away the rest of the list, raking in $80 million–almost double the $44 million runner-up Justin Timberlake pulled in this fiscal year. The former Destiny’s Child lead released her latest album I am Sasha Fierce Nov. 19, which sold nearly half a million copies in its first week.
That is from Forbes.

By the way would they put a fat person on the cover of Sports illustrated. No!
Beyonce was on the cover and she looked amazing.

Beyonce was voted # 1 on askmen.com in 2007 an online poll that allows only one vote per IP address. If guys like their women “Fat” all you rail thin paper wafers better get some meat on you. Men like having something to hold. Say what you want but it was the men that voted.

Beyonce Has writing credits and awards since her days back with Destinys Child. She has nothing to prove to you jealous people but since I’m here.

Beyonce won ASCAP Songwriter of the Year in 2004 for her work in Destiny’s Child. She was the second woman to win this award. She also has written for many other artists but unlike those other artists. She Refuses to run around saying who she has written for. Now that is class and Talent and writing ability.

You hate and you degrade just to make yourselves feel better when really you just wish you made $80 Million in 2008.

Look at all these jealous people wishing they made as much money as her.
That is the way society is now. Rather than congratulate someone for working hard everyday. People try to find things to tear them down.

Good luck haters. Her Album is number # 1 on the billboard charts and Single Ladies is number #1 on the R&B Billboard Charts!

She is amazing and she looks amazing in this dress.

Best Perfomance of the Night..

Go Bey #1 on Hot 100 Charts…

I wud like If I Were a Boy to do the same…

#10 - Why should she go away? She promoting her album and movies and at least she has the talent and isn’t some fake studio artist.

#22, 23 - You do know everyone in the tv, music, movie, etc. industry wears a weave - no matter the race and sometimes gender, including your favorite artist.

#26 - This song is special to her because she walked down the aisle to it. She changed the lyrics to fit her feelings. I like the old version too, but I love hers because it’s more realistic for my life… and hers.

#35 - The only thing fake is your comment. She’s humble and everyone that’s ever met her said she’s always the same nice person they met the last time.

#37 - ROTFLMAO!

#38 - The lyrics aren’t wrong - she rewrote them to coincide with her feelings.

#40 - To add on the to other comments that straightened you out - keep in mind it was FREEZING in NY and she still killed it.

#46 - What’s weird is people not appreciating or recognizing real talent and humbleness but accept pop stars showing their c-section and snatch in public.

#50 - This song has to do with her album that she’s promoting and she was ASKED to sing it because they love her version. The vocals and background was beautiful which in turns fit the x-mas theme. No her versionof Ave Maria is her love for her husband who changed his life and hers and they walked down the aisle to it. Your ignorance is sacreligious.

It’s the holiday season and people are still rude and negative.
It was a beautiful song Christmas or not. she made it her own.

wulf is nothing but a horrible stinking breathe copycat theifing getto hodrat rich doucebag,her voice sucks,her acting suck.

beyonce is very talented, that was beautiful like she is, she has earned a right to her career. she can really sing, that was all her, not phony like britney

didnt she say she wrote all the songs on the album what effing liar,

Beyonce is such an extraordinary singer. The best of her generation. Then, the woman can dance her butt off. She’s becoming a good actress as well. I can’t wait to see her portrayal of Etta James. It’s really nothing that she can’t do. She’s a stunnily gorgeous woman. But what really tops it off is how beautiful her spirit is. It seems like everybody from her fellow celebrities and fans say what a sweet person she. I know over the last week I’ve heard Tina Turner, Ellen DeGeneres, Tyra Banks and Oprah Winfrey say how much they love her. Her rendition of Ave Marie was just exquisite. What a beautiful voice, woman and setting.

Let me rephrase that…you are sad!

to angie

Talentless doesn’t get you nominated for a Golden Globe
Talentless is negative people who come on here and hate on someone for working hard everyday of their life and Came to earn $80 million in 2008 for doing so.
She can write as she won ASCAP wongwriter of the Year in 2004
She is hot as she was on the cover of Sports illustrated
She is well respected by her peers and those she works with in Movies and Music.
Kanye West said she is a living legend
Leona Lewis said Beyonce is insprirational
Diana Ross said She is beautiful
Miley Cyrus Looks up to Beyonce
Oprah said she is the woman that has everything
Tyra Banks said she is fierce and already an icon
Usher she is an excellent performer
Adrian Brody said she was inspiring and worked really hard
Mike Myers said she is beautiful and talented
Ellen said she loves Beyonce
and the list goes on.

So keep hating because it just makes you look like a fool. All that talk and nothing to back it up. The more you look the more hits this Beyonce posting gets. Understand… you don’t want to see her anymore yet you give people something to talk about. SMART!

WOW. # 64 and 65 really put that loser angie in her place.
Now that is funny.

Nice performance

OMG she ruined that song. Ave Maria and this song are two different songs. what a rip off

I wrote a poem about Beyonce and I would like to share it with you, if you please… ahem…

Beyonce is fat.
Beyonce is stupid.
Beyonce is old.
Beyonce can’t sing.
Beyonce is plain.
Beyonce wears butt pads.
Beyonce has the personality of a chicken wing.
Beyonce is vain.
Beyonce is spoiled.
Beyonce needs makeup to be seen in the day.
Beyonce is tired.
She needs to sit down.
And most of her fan base is gay.

Thank you! Goodnight!

to # 73
Sexy mami is an idoit!

This person talks about Beyonce in their poem. Newsflash!
Let me answer these biast opinions with no backing.

Beyonce is fat. - She is smaller than you. She is actually a size 2-4 in the waist

Beyonce is stupid. - She is stupid enough to make 80 million more than you.

Beyonce is old. - 27 is a beautiful time. I bet you couldn’t look half as good at that age

Beyonce can’t sing. - She won 10 Grammy’s of course she can sing

Beyonce is plain. - Best Canvas is a plain one. That’s why desingers want her to wear their clothes

Beyonce wears butt pads. - Shes actually all real there

Beyonce has the personality of a chicken wing. - Watch the new Tyra Interview

Beyonce is vain. - started the survivor foundation for kids. And Jennifer Hudson is her favorite american idol as per her interiew with Tyra.
Beyonce is spoiled. - She bought and gave food at the food drive for people affected by the Hurricane

Beyonce needs makeup to be seen in the day. - She actually looks decent and still has a face without make up. Can’t say the same for that man Rihanna.

Beyonce is tired. - Yet she just released a new album and It’s # 1 on Billboard

She needs to sit down. - Everyone stand up for Beyonce

And most of her fan base is gay. - This comment proves that you are narrow minded, stubborn, and not current on the changing times of the world
# 73 grow up and get you facts straight. You are worse than what you say Beyonce is.

Thank You Good night!

Don’t mess with Beyonce fans.
number 73 got whooped!

This song has NOTHING to do with the real “Ave Maria” various separate compositions by that name by composers like Verdi, Gounod, Bach or Schubert. I’d be impressed if she’d tried one of those on, like for instance Karen Carpenter did way back.

wow…she looks soooo weird without her lace fronts. Her half wig is showing in the front. she needs to set her part back a little further so you won’t see it. why doesn’t she just wear her real hair?

TO ALL OF YOU IMBECILES..SHE STINKS

WHEN YOU BUY HER STINKY ALBUM ..YOU MAKE HER RICHER

WHILE YOU GET POORER

SO SAD

#75 shut the **** up!!! that just show you how stupid weavonce stalkers..i mean fans are!! They worship her more than God! LMAO @ #73..it’s funny..u know why?..cause its true!!

i co-sign with angie, #73 & the rest who say this ugly pig need 2 go away,btw i never support her, i am just sick of looking at ugly face ever friggin way i turn.

I was reading the blog. Numbers 73 and 85 must be the same person. Why else would that person have that reaction. That person got told. what a loser!

Actually Beyonce praises God too. It’s obvious in her song. Some or her fans praise God as well. So speak for yourself otherwise you just make yourself appear as a bitter idiot!

All the single ladies. Put your hand up!
Amazing Beyonce. Amazing.

This song is touching. She sings it beautifully.

Love Beyonce!

Truly a superb performer, she never dissapoints!

I can’t see why the media is trippin about her dress. There was nothing wrong with it.

She sings great, she always had but the lyrics published are not correct you only have to hear what she is singing to realize and i am argentinian , not a very good english you konw and i can tell. Please someone fix them.

behonce i think your singing voice is absolutly beautiful if i had that voice i would love to show it of as much as i possibly could.

and your very pretty in your pictures from the album you just brought out.
