You know how you know when someone is truly talented? WHEN THEY SOUND THE SAME LIVE AS THEY DO ON THEIR ALBUMS. He is a great singer. That is not debatable. What you have to keep in mind is that he's performing in this video, not recording. He is not singing into HD recording equipment w/playback, while standing still. Obviously his breathing is going to be a little different. But he breathes properly, and he's in key, proper pitch. Leave the guy alone if you have no idea what you're talking about.

oh my god i remember when this song was popular

[reybatistafan]

So many memories jumping out of my head..

[thomaspenaherrera]

It’s 2017 and I still don’t know how people disliked his voice ..

[JiraiyaSanninPervySage]

Why is everyone saying it's bad? It's sounds good to me. 

[kielkielangel]

no matter which song, when you make it into acoustic version, they're all great

[GTAstuntz]

He ain't need Autotune to vibrate his voice. Good singer!

[marrow]

Great talent without autotune and all that shit, he sounds amazing

[Kakashikewl]

What happened to this guy? Such a catchy song still.

[PaulaVictoriaVieira]

this never gets old still watching in oct05, 2024

Perfect version...I loved it ! Jay Sean has a good voice... I want him to come to Brazil!

[injured_lion]

I remember listening to this as a kid I didn't know what he's saying back then 😐, now I know but it's still pretty legendary 😂

[dimig]

i have seen him live in germany and he is very good . i don´t understand people who dislike him here. if you don´t like him why search about him and comment that you don´t like him? its paradox.

[Deryaflcn]

Jay Sean is an amazing singer, he deserves so much more success !

[samiee]

jay sean is so talented.. keep up the good work

[AbdulN]

This dude got HOT vocals and (no matter what all you other haters say) is a step up from most hip hop/ rap standards today. He even sang Lil Wayne's part while keeping in tune bravo

[Cious]

Never knew instrumentals could make that BIG a difference to an artists voice. HE SOUNDS MORE OF A SWEETIE HERE THAT A BADASS

[LinkinP]

Dieses Lied ist einfach eines der besten überhaupt. Hätte nicht gedacht das er das Live auch so großartig hinbekommt *Thumbs up*

Danke BillboardMagazine fürs uploaden.

[MikeImmense]

Giving it an effort with presence and obviously not lip-syncing, he gets credit from me.

I really love it because I was in Paris when I listen to it the first time 😭💜
