Reba McEntire's cover of Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy"

So I got Reba's new album today, and the second song on it is called "If I Were a Boy", then I realized it's a cover of Beyonce's song of the same name! lol. Thought I would post it here and share it with everyone:

Even worse than Beyonce's version, which is saying a lot.

Ignoring the comment above me, I think the live version is a lot better than the studio one, which is overproduced and lackluster vocally. Reba had the opportunity to show B's fans that she's an even better vocalist than her, but she didn't seize it. She's probably going to perform it on the CMAs, so she still has the possibility to wow the audience, though.

Hmmm, I'm going to have to look up the live version them

The live version is the one in the video you posted, OP!

Digging this version. (Then again I enjoy Reba, and I enjoyed her duet with Kelly Clarkson!)

The live version is much better, I also like the duet she did with Kelly Clarkson for Kelly's song Because of You
