LOL. I said the same thing just by reading the title of the video. That's like asking who did "Woman To Woman" better. Shirley Brown or Barbara Mandrell.
Both vocal powerhouses , however , Ms Shirley Murdock owns that song As we lay as well as Husband and I can't go on without you . Ms Murdock voice is mesmerizing . 🌷🌻🌷🌻
Shirley hands down, hands up and 5 on the black hand side! You made me blink twice and drop my jaw when I read your question. Don't play with our emotions like that! 🤣😂
I love Kelly Price's voice and she did a good job but there's no replacing the original version by Shirley Murdock, Shirley Murdock absolutely killed it, her vocal range and runs are insane.. and because of that her version, the original, is a one and only absolute classic and can't be duplicated nor outdone..
Aunt Shirley's 😀 mix was authentic and natural, K.P. had to much going on in instrumentation. So Shirley, by far, wins on production quality and for riding with the groove.
"As We Lay" wow! Both artist moves my heart and makes me feel those vibes and it is truly a hard choice for me. I would have to go with the original Shirley Murdock. Then again that Kelly Price, "Oh My God" when she gets deep into that song, she moves my heart. That Kelly can really sing it out~We forgot about tomorrow as we lay. Man~ I feel that ending with Kelly Price, Sweet!
Shirley Murdock - no doubt. That's the one us young girls would try to sing, even if we didn't know what the lyrics were REALLY saying ..lol ...and that woman just has one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL voices, which can, also, get VERY POWERFUL ..ANYONE who votes Kelly MUST be of a younger generation, and don't, really, remember when the original song came out ..Plus, I'm down with the Zapp/Troutman production.
2019' Shirley Murdock💕😇☝️was listened to or played during a Sweet era!!😁 Kelly Price put her own Unique Twist of Ingredients to it for the Music lovers of that Era and present!!👍Thanks for Sharing!!
Shirley Murdock is my ladie.......I had just moved to California in 1986 and I was in love with two individuals and this song really hit home at that time as well as for today. it still hits home by pulling forward my past.
Though Kelly remains one of the best female R&B singers of our time, this is the comparison of a great cover versus an all-around R&B Classic. Shirley's hauntingly beautiful vocals combined with the then-unknown ballad talents of the late Roger and Larry Troutman, made for one of the best R&B songs ever recorded. Winner: Shirley! 🐰
Honestly, I prefer Kelly's version. They're both exceptional vocalists but I like the runs in Kelly's and I also like the production more. Can we acknowledge that both these ladies deserved far better careers than what they've had?
The original. Shirley's voice was out of this world. I remember when my friend wanted the chorus teacher to let us sing this song in class. He was like no damn way lol.
I love Kelly Price, but this Shirley Murdock's song, though Shirley's is a remake too as you pointed out, but Shirley's version is the Best Version of this song!
Smh people are so biased, especially when the original artist is underrated. Shirley’s version came first and is a great song. She’s a great singer & the song holds a lot of nostalgia. That being said, Kelly’s version is better. Her voice sounds far more mature than Shirley’s, the musical arrangement has a more timeless quality (Shirley’s sounds 100% 80’s). Also, Kelly’s riffs & ad-libs at the end sound way more passionate & authentic. Shirley sings it like a young girl who did something naughty. Kelly sings it like a grown ass woman who let a situation go too far.
@@timmy841212 Nothing to do with their actual age. I said Kelly's voice sounds more mature-- lower, darker, with a huskiness to it. Shirley's voice is bright & clear. A more youthful sound.
Shirley has the raw emotion and grit this track deserves. Hell, she got me feeling guilty and I ain’t even cheat!! Kelly just sounds like a sweet, accurate rendition.
Now this was super hard!!! Very challenging!!! Both Artists vocals are amazing, love the instrumentals in Kelly version but also love the smoothness of Shirley version as well... The thing that got me was the emotions behind the song. Shirley sound like she lived that song vs Kelly just sound like she was remaking the Song. With that being said I will have to go with Shirley Murdock with this one, only because of the passion she had it speaks volume!!! Kelly My Girl Though!! So Yea I shocked myself with this one!!! Shirley Murdock!!! 🖤
So So Dope...I Love Both Of Them Because It's All About Keeping The Legacy Alive And Only Kelly Could've Done This Justice...Fam Fa'Life One Love Fa'Sho...
This was my song back in the day...I'm singing along to the words to Ms Murdock's song...the vocal arrangements, harmonies and lyrical virtuosity are unforgettable. Shirley is telling the story in such a believable way...what a songstress. Kelly started to pick things up towards the latter part of her version, loved her ad libs.
Hey, Mike, looks like Ms Murdock is the clear winner with the listeners on this one. I agree, the original SM version is the platter that matter--end of DISC--cussion. However, not many people offering their view on the lyrics. Thanx for the upload. To the ReelBlack family--Peace and Blessings!!!
I listened over and over to these wonderful voices. But the end of these songs made me go with Kelly Price. She poured out her soul and went straight to church. "My love why can't you see how loving you is killing me... Oh Snap!!!
I love both versions! Shirley's version is the template and without it, there is no Kelly's version! I felt that also in Kelly's version, it was more of a homage to SM but Shirley made me feel she was right there in the moment. SM all day!!!
This was a hard choice for me.. Two very powerful singers. Of course Ms. Murdock, created a wonderful rendition, that can't be duplicated. Ms. Price, didn't try too.. She took a powerful song and made it her own.. The lyrics still there, but the instrumental and the emotions, all hers. And, for just the audacity to try it.. I'm giving this one to Ms. Price.. My opinion, of course.
Hand down Shirley Murdock all day long, Shirley Murdock vocals are out of this world she has a voice only from God. Shirley voice is so rare and unique her voice and has a such a gospel sound just a phonemenal!!!! voice. Kelly Price is a powerhouse vocalist, Kelly Price took us to church. Excellent!!! Kelly Price.
Is this a real question??😂😂 Shirley murdock that voice is unquestionably the rawest
Yep
Shirley Murdock!! I have yet to find that feeling when I hear a song like I did when I hear Shirley
LOL. I said the same thing just by reading the title of the video. That's like asking who did "Woman To Woman" better. Shirley Brown or Barbara Mandrell.
absolutely one and only kind of voice and she put her foot in that recording..
I know right I was just wondering like what no question Shirley
Shirley with ease even though Kelly did her thing but the winner is......
Shirley
Shirley Murdock hands down I love Kelly Price she's beautiful for Shirley Murdock takes it home.

Shirley Murdock, hands down! One of the great singers to come out of Toledo, OH!
detroitlives, wow, i didn't know she was from ohio. i wish she had more hits
That's cool to know! I graduated from University of Toledo! I really enjoyed my years in the Glass city, had no idea she was my home state OHIO! ❤
Kelly Price took us to church wit it...but Shirley's version captured the experience and essence of the song. *Shirley Murdock* fa sho!
Shirley hands down, hands up and 5 on the black hand side!
You made me blink twice and drop my jaw when I read your question. Don't play with our emotions like that!
🤣😂
Tyni EXACTLY
HELLO
I love Kelly Price's voice and she did a good job but there's no replacing the original version by Shirley Murdock, Shirley Murdock absolutely killed it, her vocal range and runs are insane.. and because of that her version, the original, is a one and only absolute classic and can't be duplicated nor outdone..
SHIRLEY MURDOCK ABSOLUTELY SANG IT BEST. She had more soul & heart in her version 🦋
Honestly, I love both versions of the song! Shirley put more of her soul into it but Kelly has that powerful voice. I give them both credit for that!
Its Shirlz World last time I check. Respect to KP tho💯
Shirly..not saying Kelly can't sing. Its just more passion from the Originals.
I'm from the era of the original Shirley Murdock....hence my vote of appreciation. Kelly Price was also great.
Aunt Shirley's 😀 mix was authentic and natural, K.P. had to much going on in instrumentation. So Shirley, by far, wins on production quality and for riding with the groove.
@stryfetc1 that's funny🤣
@stryfetc1 Heck , Kelly is Auntie too , lol.
This is a straight up classic and NO ONE can tourch our girl Shirley on this one. The pure emotion and rawness she exudes is incredible.
Shirley hands down👏🏿
Wow!!! Both are great soulful singers, but this song right ch’ere belongs to the Queen Shirley Murdock!
Shirley's version brings tears to my eyes every time. She is singing her pain. Kelly is awesome, but it's just no match.
WHY must we compare? Who's better? Both of them are good!!!😎
Love u Kelly but.....SM GOT IT
"As We Lay" wow! Both artist moves my heart and makes me feel those vibes and it is truly a hard choice for me. I would have to go with the original Shirley Murdock. Then again that Kelly Price, "Oh My God" when she gets deep into that song, she moves my heart. That Kelly can really sing it out~We forgot about tomorrow as we lay. Man~ I feel that ending with Kelly Price, Sweet!
Definitely Shirley Murdock but Kelly sounds beautiful too. Shirley sings like she has actually experienced what she is singing about.
And the winner is.......come on now.... Shirley ALL THE WAY!
Shirley Murdock - no doubt. That's the one us young girls would try to sing, even if we didn't know what the lyrics were REALLY saying ..lol ...and that woman just has one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL voices, which can, also, get VERY POWERFUL ..ANYONE who votes Kelly MUST be of a younger generation, and don't, really, remember when the original song came out ..Plus, I'm down with the Zapp/Troutman production.
Shirley Murdock is simply hypnotic!
Shirley Murdock, its a classic and takes you back to the first time you heard it.
Shirley Murdock bodied this song!
Untouchable.👑👑
Until Kelly got in the ring....
@reelblack I thought that question was a April Fool's joke, then I realized it's June..GTFOH👋😂. ONCE AGAIN SHIRLEY MURDOCK💯💘

The original. Shirley's voice was out of this world. I remember when my friend wanted the chorus teacher to let us sing this song in class. He was like no damn way lol.
No competition. Shirley Murdock all the way.
Shirley Murdock did it the best . We had a debate about this song when Kelly Price did it the young folk got mad 👍 We know who did it the best
Hmmmmmm Shirley Murdock without a doubt!
The production in the first one is better the music in the second one drags out the song
I love Kelly Price, but this Shirley Murdock's song, though Shirley's is a remake too as you pointed out, but Shirley's version is the Best Version of this song!
In your humble opinion thank God we our not going off facts
MS.!!! SHIRLEY!!! MURDOCK!!!! LAWD!! HAVE MERCY!!! SANG!! HEAVENLY!!!! HANDS DOWN!!! LOVE IT!!!#2020!!
Shirley gets it because she did it first, but really it's a tie.

What? Kelly sang this but Shirley slayed it
Nah can't agree with you lol
Shirley was pushing 30 when her version came out.
Kelly was also pushing 30 when she did her version.

Shirley Murdock.. no question about it.
Shirley has the raw emotion and grit this track deserves. Hell, she got me feeling guilty and I ain’t even cheat!! Kelly just sounds like a sweet, accurate rendition.
Shirley. Kelly is a great singer but again this is one of those songs. This is a calling card for Shirley.
I like both versions!!!👍😊
Now this was super hard!!! Very challenging!!!

Would love to here whitney Houston sing this.

You just have to remember if there wasn’t a Shirley Murdock version there would be no Kelly Price version. Shirley Murdock “HANDS DOWN”!!!!
Ms Mudrock voice is one of a kind!! Kelly no match for her.. great video 👍👍👍👍👍
Shirley without question. Only vocalist to give me chills with her crescendo

Kelly Price definitely did the song justice, but come on.. Shirley Murdock's version is absolutely soul stirring. SHIRLEY MURDOCK WINS!!
Shirley Murdock for sure. Sounded like she singing from experience🤔
Kelly is good...actually VERY VERY good....but Shirley is simply transcendental..made for the song!

End of discussion is when you hear Kelly end the song vs miss Murdock your original has become my masterpiece

Listening in 2020
Shirley Murdock has this one. She pulls out emotion in you that almost makes you mad at her for being the other woman in song.
Shirley Murdock 👍
Shirley Murdock gets my vote.
Ms. Murdock all day!! 😊🔥💝
I listened over and over to these wonderful voices. But the end of these songs made me go with Kelly Price. She poured out her soul and went straight to church. "My love why can't you see how loving you is killing me... Oh Snap!!!
I was looking for this one
I love both versions! Shirley's version is the template and without it, there is no Kelly's version! I felt that also in Kelly's version, it was more of a homage to SM but Shirley made me feel she was right there in the moment. SM all day!!!
Shirley version will never get old. But Kelly’s is priceless.
Shirley, no question
SM all the way
This was a hard choice for me.. Two very powerful singers. Of course Ms. Murdock, created a wonderful rendition, that can't be duplicated. Ms. Price, didn't try too.. She took a powerful song and made it her own.. The lyrics still there, but the instrumental and the emotions, all hers. And, for just the audacity to try it.. I'm giving this one to Ms. Price.. My opinion, of course.
I agree! I think people say Mrs.murdock because she originally made the song
Mrs Murdock frfr
Shirley‼️‼️‼️‼️💯👍🏽
Both versions are tite but Shirley's version which was out when I was growing up is just on another level...her voice is one of a kind
Definitely Shirley Murdock
These ladies put it down!! A definite tie!!
Kelly Price is good but there is no way no how she's better than Shirley Murdock.
Shirley Murdock!
I’ve listened to both versions love them both , my vote had to go with Shirley, she just brings this one home! Kelly towards the very end “morning”.
Kelly did it better. Her voice does it for me.
Hand down Shirley Murdock all day long, Shirley Murdock vocals are out of this world she has a voice only from God. Shirley voice is so rare and unique her voice and has a such a gospel sound just a phonemenal!!!! voice. Kelly Price is a powerhouse vocalist, Kelly Price took us to church. Excellent!!! Kelly Price.
I can't chose, cozn, Shirley Brought it into existence, and Kelly, mimicked it and gave it an up to date twist. They both were GREAT.
Shirley easy...one of the best voices ever
