Todrick Hall - Lions and Tigers and Bears (feat Tamar Braxton) [Official Music Video] 

People, there is NO need for comparison. Both did an amazing job. I dont think Tamar's version was meant to replicate Ambers. It felt more like Tamar was asked to sing or interpret the song in her own way NOT necessarily to play "Amber's role" while singing the song. Amber's version was to sing and tell a story, she sang and acted as to how a mother would be because it is her role. (in which she was cast in) which was wonderful. She did it in a musical theater type of way. Tamar's version was a song interpretation in her own way. Yes, like a cover. I dont think the producers wanted Tamar to be "in character" cuz they already did it with Amber. Tamar did the song in an R&B way, and treatment of the video was like a "music video" to differentiate her version. LISTEN to the song (close your eyes) she did fantastic. Amber and Tamar both are extremely talented singers who had their own style to it.

When you're not a mom but you feel this song deep in your soul 😩

I like the representation of how both Tamar and Amber's versions. It gives different feels, but ultimately it is about two mother's who care deeply about their child. Hats off to wonderful vocals the pair of them have.

i like the way she said HIT THAT GANGSTA LEAN

Tamar's voice is about to make me cry. So beautiful

Honestly I love that Tamar and Amber took different routes with this song. Whilst Amber's version feels like it connects more with the Oz concept I think that's because she's generally more theatrical with her singing and it feels more power ballad. I love this version because it goes more RnB and the end product is more chilled and gives off a smooth vibe.

Tay Tay ate this song...

many won't understand.but she was bringing Baltimore mama realness lol. I'm here for it .I thought she did a great job .

Tamar shows feeling and expression through the song like a 'real mom'. She does a phenomenal job!

Tamar just adds personality, they are both equally good videos.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODRICK MY QUEEN! SEE YOU IN ALBUQUERQUE! I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE SHOW!

Tamar is SOOOOO underrated i swear

Yaassss I've been waiting for this! Love Tamar I can listen to her all day.

Tamar's voice is UHMAZE. I like the visuals of Amber's better, but HOLY SHIT Tamar's voice is to awe over.

She sang the shit out of this!

Tamar gives me passionate momma , Amber gives me emotional momma😭, I love both versions do much!!!!!!

Oh I love this! Sing, Tamar!!! And Todrick, you genius😩😍🙌🏽 Can't wait to see you in Dallas on April 30!!!

Baaaaaaby Tamar ❤️🤦🏾❤️ This chile know she can sing! I’m sorry.. Tamar just really does it for me vocally. Her voice & runs are soooo clean ❤️

Great job Tamar...I felt it!!! Yessssssss

That’s Logan’s mama right there 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾

She killed it good job Tamar ❤️

2:32-2:40 that note on “bears” 💙😩😍

*THERE'S NO NEED FOR COMPARISON* ❗️ Everyone has their own preference, and Tamar sounds AMAZING per usual! Yes, Amber's was also good, and her version still exists.. so go and watch hers instead of discrediting Tamar!

I don't know why this video doesn't have 1Million views. I have watched this a Million times lool

Her voice is amazing I wish she did more songs like this

Confidently, I did the thing A woman like me should never do I stepped on a scale And thought "What the hell?" Cause honey that scale was mighty rude So I've gained a little weight Mama's hair's a little gray And my strength just ain't the same But believe me when I say I'd fight a bear underwater for my baby Bring on a lion, I'm not frightened They can't take me I'd tear the stripes off any tiger You just call me and I swear I'm right there and I'm not scared Of lions and tigers and bears A wolf or a fox, please A big jabberwocky You just gotta knock on your mama's door I'll fight through the fire But if there's a spider - well honey That's what your friends are for! I know sometimes we don't agree But I'm always on your team And if somebody's ever mean If they try to take a swing I'm gon hit that gangster lean Somebody hold my earrings Let me get that Vaseline Cause they gon have to go through me I'd fight the real Loch Ness monster for my baby I'd slay the dragon and I'll drag 'em cause I'm crazy I'd scare the stripes off any calidah You call me and I swear I'm right there and I'm not scared Of lions and tigers and bears

I'm seriously crying right now this is the stuff that makes you appreciate and realize what u man has done and will do for you I love moms everywhere

I have to disagree with these comment, I looooooove this version.

Different versions but both she and Amber did incredible jobs! Side note: Please don't deny Tamar's soul and insane runs (2:24) just because you're trying to make a point and bring her down lol

Everything does not have to be a competition...Tamar and Amber both have beautiful voices and beautiful renditions of this song, period!!!

I love her voice so much ❤️💙💜

I strongly adore both versions! Beautiful singers/ voices! ❤️❤️❤️

She's a beautiful soprano. Had no idea while she was on the Real. So unique

her voice omg she sang her ass off 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Tamar can sing anything!!! I’m team Tamar all day any day!

it's 2020. this came out in 2016.. i still listen to this like 4 times a week screaming the lyrics and crying. the lyrics are a masterpiece. I NEED TO RECORD THIS. thanks for this amazing timeless piece of art.

Tamar!!!!

Her voice is so deep and soulful! Argh amber is just as graceful no doubt but tamar takes the cup for this song! her voice fits perfectly 😍😍

I love this song it makes me cry because it makes me think about how much I love my children and no matter how old they get or how rough things may get I will always be on the frontline for them. My babies are the reason I breath and I will fight everything to live for them even myself. Thank you for reminding me of why I wake up everyday! BEAUTIFUL! 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓 Grateful Mother

HER: "so I've gained a little weight, and my hair's a little gray" ME: ummm... yeah and I'm the queen's sister gurrrll😂😂

¡ haven't finish the video but, already know that I love it!

Happy Birthday Todrick. Here's to you and your amazing talents on your special day. We love you

was anyone else hoping for a Jazmine Sullivan cover?

she's back yall and she is about to sing her ass off this year

Her voice is soooooooooo good!

YASSS QUEEN😱😭💕

Hits me real deep everytime. Both Tamara and Amber 's vocals are amazing.

They both understood their assignment .... love both version

This is the range of Tamar's voice I like.

This song is iconic! We stan the winner of celebrity big brother !

Love love love

I'm sooooo late. I just watched Todrick Hall Behind the Curtain and heard this song on there. Chiiiiilllleeeee I just cried. This song is SOOOOO my momma. I am going to send this to her cuz this songs says what she has done for me. Omg. Todric is soooooo talented. He has a great story and I was glad he shared it with the world.

Holy moly 😍😍😍😄😆 ON REPLAY 🔁

I actually love this one better vocally. Tamar put some swag on it. She finessed her notes a lil more than amber. I'm thinking he redid it and put Tamar because she's more marketable than amber. Tbh, I never heard amber's version til I was introduced to Tamar's. Now visually, amber's is way better (hands down). She fit the character of a mom. I love both tho.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TODDY!!!!!!! ❤️🎈

Beautiful 😢💖💖💖

tamar never ceases to disappoint

Why compare the the two ?? ..amber video is STILL up .. you don't like this version that's cool .. but don't downplay Tamar version that's the problem with the world today everybody gotta have a DAMN opinion..obviously todrick likes it hence why Tamar has a version ..say sometimg nice and MOVE on 😁

I've been listening to this song all day...my mother passed was 11 suddenly from a massive stroke, and you would think after 21 years it would get better, but there isn't a day I don't think of her. Listening to this song has me so emotional for some reason...but I love the song. Great job Todrick!

Oh Tamar n Toddrick thank u so much for this. I needed my mother today and she's been dead for 4yrs and THIS brought tears to my eyes.

Tamar DID THAT SO BEAUTIFUL

Found my new favorite song

Absolutely AMAZING voice! LOOOOVE Tamar!!

So stoked she is singing this song . So happy and proud for you . I know this song word for word.

OMG! TODDY STOP SLAYING THE SHIT OUTTA ME! SOON IM GONNA DIE AND I CANT WATCH YOUR VIDS

Great version as well!!!

Love Tamar and love this song!

Yaaaaaaaaasss

I love this version! Tamar brought a R&B feel to it! I have to disagree with people saying she doesn't seem motherly she's too sexy. Why can't a mom be sexy? Amber did amazing as well. Y'all should watch the video where they mashed both amber and Tamar's versions together. It was amazing

I love both versions! Guess I'm on the only one!

❤❤❤❤Tamar!❤❤❤❤

Thank you Todrick for giving us two great versions of this song both Tamar and Amber killed it vocally

Tamar's voice is so beautiful I replay this over and over ❤❤❤

I love me some Tamar ❤️❤️❤️

I like both versions. Not only are the singers super talented but they have their own way of doing it. Well done.

Finally! Tears. Somebody said it!.. Love this. Love Tamar.

Tamar is the best

Nope, Amber's version hit me in the heart. She sang like she actually meant it. This... this is all slick and surface and doesn't sound like a Mum who is willing to stand up for her baby and fight if they need her too. As a Mum the difference is palpable.

So so beautiful!!

I love love love Tamar!!!

Ok. Amber's video was better in terms of portraying the character, but both songs sound really good. Tamar is too done up for that shack she in.

Tamar's voice is so pretty ❤️

Happy birthday Queen!!!

Love love love love love

Dang this is soo GOOD.

this woman is 40 and and out sing any main artiste out here

Tamar has such a beautiful voice. 💕

The pipes on that woman!! ❤️

I should probably also give props to Todrick. fantastic video and song and lyrics... First what a great message from a mother to a son but also friend to a friend. Brava! I say! BRAVA!

Everyone comparing and complaining.. Tamar killed it! Love it!!!!

SING TAMAR!!!! Luv you boo 💕
