K. Michelle takes a more serious approach with her cover of Beyoncé’s “Best Thing I Never Had,” singing about a former lover who physically abused her. “I thank God I didn’t die/ … I’m so glad I’m over you/ I’ma pray my way out,” sings R. Kelly’s protégé, who’s expressed her unhappiness with her label Jive Records in recent weeks. “You turned out to be, the worst man I ever had.”
You know I love you K Michelle………but you need to leave Jive ASAP.
They are never going to do anything for you. They are bringing you down and they don’t know what they have with you. I hope you do find the success and recognition you deserve because the industry don’t have many that SANG.
@2101, You have a beautiful voice; but we all know who/where the focus will be with that label. Let’s be honest. The labels promote and invest into the more popular singers. The song wasn’t all that bad to me. I’ve never been one to ‘instantly’ love a song as soon as I’ve heard it.
Oh Boo Boo!!! Leave It Alone, Let It Go. She’s Just too much, for the beat and the original! It sounds like something you’d hear on Wild Out Wednesday’s on 106&Park. Poor Chick
I feel that it’s a cool song. She sings with so much emotions and has a nice range. Don’t know what is Jive Records is waiting for but she has talent and a voice.
She’s a good singer, but the lyrics and melody just didn’t mix with the instrumental. And I also think that this was a raw version… So I can’t judge on a song that’s not finished.
I’ll leave it at that it’s not a good look. She should’ve stuck to the original melody Beyoncé sang.
man I feel sorry for this chick. her label ain’t even promoting her properly. she just need to stop playing silly covering songs and just release an album already. lol
@darealest, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!! YOU MUST BE SLOW HOW SHE SOUND BETTER THAN QUEEN B LMAO GET YOUR EARS CHECKED OUT OR GET THE NASTY WAX OUT SMHD!!
@REAL ISSH- IM WITH YOU ON THAT ONE LOL
THIS VERSION WAS HORRIBLE NOTE TO SINGERS LEAVE BEYONCE MUSIC ALONE SHE OWNS THAT GET YOUR OWN MATERIAL, HONEY ASK R.KELLY FOR SOME SONGS DONT TAKE QUEEN B LOL BUT THIS WAS BAD REAL BAD LOL
