Perhaps it's just me, but Sugarland's cover of Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable" is down home hilarious. They gave it their best shot at last night's American Music Awards show, but I don't think "ya got me twisted" has the same appeal when sung with a southern accent. Beyoncé eventually stepped on stage to show us how it should done, but her voice couldn't make amends for the accordions in the background. Can't we all just sing our own songs?

I kind of liked it.
1I was laughing the whole time..
2I love Sugarland. and i have luv for Beyonce. BUT, ARE YOU SERIOUS????
for it to be the AMA's, it was bland. the song is already a year old, and over played as it is. then, with beyonce singing on it, it should have been like when Elton and Eminem sung together. but it wasn't. Sugarland sung their version, and Beyonce sung her version.
i didn't watch the show live, and i was waiting all day for video to be available on this, and this was all i got???
I got jipped.
Stll luv Beyonce for the effort to gain some country fans. you know she's a marketing machine. and i love sugarland for being open enough to sing a pop song.
3I was waiting for the "Beyonce performance you'll still be talking about tomorrow!". . . and nothing happend. I thought it would be so much more the way they were hyping it up.
4I love country music,but I seriously loathe sugarland,that girl just irks me so much for some reason..
5goddammit, it took me a year to get that song out of my head, now i gotta get it out again
6almost bad as "honky tonk badunkadunk!"
7OMG! That rocks balls!!
HILARIOUS!!
8I love Sugarland, but no bueno.
9Beyonce is trying entirely too hard to appeal to EVERY genre...here she is selling out her song and butchering it! I think it sounded awful! Beyonce=sellout. She will do anything for any type of gain in her career. INCLUDING being in every commercial on TV, representing every brand that asks her to, singing country, etc etc, the list goes on and on. Jay-z is the same way.
10It got about 10,000 times more hilarious when Beyonce came out and joined this trainwreck.
11Hmmm, I always thought the song said "you got me to say" not "you got me twisted."
12I had enough at about 1:09...it just was too much. I can understand the Spanish version to an extent...but this was just weird
13I did not watch the whole peformance because I HATED Sugarland's version. I like Sugarland but they should not have been allowed to sing Beyonce' song. They DESTROYED it.
14i hate Beyonce to begin with, so hearing this song in country form, HURTS MY EARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
15OMG! I never realized that "Irreplaceable" is soooo trailer trash country!
16all i can say jay and beyonce are hustler's so whatever gets the money in the bank they out there gettin it... and for those who dont like jay and beyonce can just go f*ck themselves, hell that's what the music industries do, they remake songs and they write their own music etc..., i dont like the song in the country version b/c i dont like country music but i respect it...b/c other people might like it sung by a country artist then beyonce. dont know and dont care, but i know one thing beyonce is the sh*t and will always be.
17I love Sugarland. I must admit this song was pretty good when I saw them in concert with Kenny Chesney. It was horrible here though.
18dear Beyonce,
19LEARN TO SAY NO AND GO AWAY FOR A YEAR OR SO.
Thank you
Brittny.
Shes sweet
20Wow! She's all about the money now, I can't stand the commercial she does, it's way to suggestive to be on during the day. She has really changed from being a woman wanting independence to being a sex object, what happened? When she left Destiny's Child, did she lose her mind? I'm losing respect for her quickly. I use to think she was beautiful, now, every time you turn around, there she is, ENOUGH! Give it a break, I love sugar, but, too much will make you sick. Meow
21lol, ew.
22Well... I really like it.
23I liked it as well!
24does anyone tink that beyoncée looks ridiculously skinny in this video?
25What she wanted to do since she was a kid was be a famous singer/celebrity. She is. She did what she always said she wanted to do. How is that selling out?
Anyway, I'm not a huge fan of country music, but there is a point at which certain elements of country and R&B do resemble each other. That point, unfortunately for Miss Knowles and Sugarland, was not anywhere in this song. They were singing two different songs, and neither of them made any effort to make it sound the same. This was probably a result of poor planning, and a lack of rehearsal time (since if they'd heard it, they'd have known better).
26I have Beyonce' in my iPod singing this and like it. I wish Sugarland would record it. Love this version. I have this clip in my favorites. Would have loved to be in the audience that night. You could tell they were surprised when Beyonce' came out. What a thrill to have seen them!
