Beyoncé covered one of Prince’s most difficult songs and she KILLED IT

A truly fitting tribute

Ellen Tannam

Beyoncé is an icon, and Lemonade shows her true artistry at work.

She’s currently on the Formation tour, and slaying it every night of the week.

The diva was in Dallas, Texas, and decided to pay a moving tribute to Prince by covering his song The Beautiful Ones and her vocals are stunning.

The song is notoriously difficult to pull off, but Bey does so easily, displaying just how talented a vocalist she is.

If you notice, she also changes the pronouns in the song from ‘him’ to ‘her’ in her rendition, in order to fit the song with the theme of Lemonade.

The original lyrics go like so:

“Baby, baby, baby
What’s it gonna be
Baby, baby, baby
Is it him or is it me?
Don’t make me waste my time
Don’t make me lose my mind baby”

Brilliant.
