MIND YOU AALIYAH SUNG THIS LIVE AT THE AGE 13 in Latin, this is orignal live audio from her audition to get in to the Detroit HS of performing arts


VS>>>>BEYONCE"S Version


ITS CLEAR both versions are smoking BUT PLEASE
let me know which u like best

well imma be the first lol

i lOOOOOOOVE BOTH VERSIONS SOOO MUCH but i think imma say Aaliyah

Aaliyah was a great vocalist.

@ Both of them.

Aaliyah was better than Beyoncé in all areas of life including their performance of Ave Maria.

Aaliyah >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Beyonce

one in a million<333

Aaliyah's voice was so angelic. Not a lot of vocal acrobatics but still so serene and soothing.

I think this thread may cause problems, too.

My thoughts exactly

Aaliyah because she sung it the way its supposed to be sung.... she didn't add any new words for a cheap songwriter's credit and she didn't oversing it. I love her voice!!!

oh wow....im speechless after listening to the Aaliyah version....but i love them both equally they both made it unique (even tho Bee did add words) and made it their own...it's a hard choice to choose tho but at age 13 tho.....ok i'll say Aaliyah

I like Beyoncé better but Aaliyah's version is clearly superior. I didn't know she had such beautiful voice.

DSA is such a ****** school. God forbid anyone audition to go there now.

Aaliyah.
But Celine Dion's version>>>>>>>>

I think Beyonce's (customized) version is prettier but Aaliyah sang it much better, and I like her more. So yeah.

O wow CELINE DID A VERSION

child im scared to even listen i could feel the TEARS running down my face now
her voice is just so ....................magical............all she needs is a halo over her head

n thank you everyone for your honest opinions,with out bashing anyone, its appreciated

Co-sign!

Beyoncé ave maria latin version>>>>>>Aaliyah Ave Maria latin version

Beyoncé has a way better prononciation of latin and her delivery is a lot lot better. Aaliyah was great though too especially for such a age. I need new aaliyah music

Aaliyah >>>>> Beyonce

Celine's is great.
