Remember When: Beyoncé Blew her Audience Away With a Cover of Prince’s “Beautiful Ones”

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

Beyoncé follows closely to Prince’s original version, but she somehow makes it even more sweeping–nearly cinematic. Like Prince, she keeps the verses intimate, never letting the full force of her vocals breakthrough.

She finally gives this song a shot of adrenaline in the chorus. She belts out the titular line, prompting excited cheers from her fans. It’s the kind of note that sends chills over your body. It’s impossible to deny her talent while listening to this cover.

Baby, baby, baby
Can’t you stay with me tonight?
Oh baby, baby, baby
Don’t my kisses please you right?
You were so hard to find
The beautiful ones, they hurt you everytime

“I wanted to be like Prince,” Beyoncé once said. “If my art isn’t strong enough or meaningful enough to keep people interested and inspired, then I’m in the wrong business. My music, my films, my art, my message—that should be enough.”

Given that stance, it makes sense that she would choose to cover this powerful Prince track. Revisit the performance, below.

Paint a perfect picture
Bring to life a vision in one’s mind
The beautiful ones
Always smash the picture
Always, everytime
