    great song

  • FUNKO92: 1988, actually! Yes, awesome rendition of this song...

  • They say original are always better but this version proved the opposite.

  • Agree :-)

  • @ydmorena

    I do agree that this version is great, but every version of this song is fantastic. It's simply the song. Jimmy Cliff did an earlier version in reggae too, and it is just as fantastic. It's the lyrics and the tune that make for a fantastic cover. They are all great. I LOVE THIS SONG.

  • it's called 'wild world' not 'world'

  • ahhh c est toute mon enfance cte chanson... les fetes où je voyais ma famille s eclater :') à l'ancienne <3

  • It's physicly impossible to listen to this song and not feel happy.

    you're right b uddy!

  • @CheckaMinga ahaha i totally agree.

  • @CheckaMinga I'm sad because there is not good music anymore

  • No importa si es rock,reggae,hip-hop,balada o pop,,,no se q seria del mundo sin la musica,fuesemos una sociedad sin cultura,amargada y no se exactamente q seriamos pero lo q si se q el mundo no tendria vida sin la musica,VIVA LA MUSICA, muy buena esta cancion...gracias por el video..

  • I already old find this song, ever hear this song but do not know the song title and the singer! thank you so much ^_^

  • I usually don't like remakes but I love both versions of this song

    Cat Stevens's version is geuine and heartfelt while this version is catchy and upbeat. Maxi Priest has done a great job of covering it

  • wooooo

  • hey hippy music ... is nice

  • classic stuff

  • hells yeah man! this is kinda cool.. although no one can do it like Cat.. does anyone know any other artists who have covered this song?

  • Mr. Big

  • I like the video mainly because of the hot chick in it, but I much perfer the original by Cat Stevens.

  • love it

  • big up maxi hes wicked oh baby baby x

  • what a song1

  • la la la la

  • Baby I'm grieving :(

  • Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world!

  • A truen story, coming from either the story teller themselves or the ones they sing about. Its truly a gift If an artist can capture both point of views!

  • You know when you have found a truly amazing artist, when a "song" can actually bring you to a personal place and bring tears to you're eyes!

  • reaaly really nice =]

  • stylé le saxo =)

  • i love you

  • My god i head this on the radio today, and saw it on the end of a skins season, it was the year i was born lol

  • einfach klasse soooooo guti

  • I love this song so much.

  • this is a brilliant version.

    i love this song so much!

  • love this song

  • This song was important to me when I was very small and subsequently in middle and latter years. I knew the original, I loved this version which was when I was getting married. Then over a decade on and divorced, I listened to the cast of Skins re-record it. Some songs stand the test of time and speak for themselves, this is one of them. Not every artist can do the song justice, I'm so glad you sang it with passion and made it as touching as 'The Cat'.

  • Maxi Preist is truly amazing ........ He also sings good live which is rare dese days ....

  • Maxi Preist is truly amazing ........ He also sings good live which is rare dese days ....

  • I like Maxi Priest. I'm glad he's the replacement for Ali Campbell in UB40.

  • yo r u really serious about that, cause he's a solo artist so wy would Maxi do that

  • Well, him being a solo artist doesn't affect whether he's in a group or not. In fact he's performed with UB40 before. UB40 have stated that he is to be their next lead singer with thoughts that it might be a permanent decision.

  • we all know now it wasn't true. He is not going to be the leadsinger. Robin campbell is

  • Where did you hear that?

  • here is a part of the reaction of brian (the saxplayer) on the forum of official UB40 site (it's now on page 12)

    its NOT true im afraid, it would appear that you have been the victims of a cruel prank. But after reading the article I have my suspicions,Although UB40 are MASSIVE MAXI PRIEST FANS,he is an AMAZING singer and a proper lovely person the guy has his own band and his own career DON'T believe EVERYTHING you read in the newspapers . BT

  • Cheers. I haven't seen that before.

  • Paiigee,

  • Not as good as Cat Stevens, but way better than Mr. Bigs...

  • omg great song great artist

  • Love it, Both versions are great.

  • i like this better then cat

  • this is a cool video, but...the original (cat stevens) version of this song is soooo much better.

  • LALALALALA ;D

  • L thought this was his song!

  • That's a good name that well suits you, because you are definitely a butthead.

  • ..and it's breaking my heart in two

    because I never want to see you sad girl..

  • O baby its a wild world take care out there hope you find what you are looking 4

  • 5.....*

  • awesome!

  • its better when cat stevens sings it!

  • damn right! these guys should make their own music, be original! instead of just copying the work of other people!

  • Why, It brings pleasure to people life has to many rules as it is.

  • what a nice song

  • i love the lyrics.........!!!!

  • very nice version and video

  • Not trying to drag you guys into the arguement or accuse you of anything, but I have an observation about this song. When I watched the original video by Cat Stevens, I read the comments and it wasall based on the fact that he converted to Islam. Then it was nothing but horrible posts about how much the posters hate islam. This thread happened to keep focus on the song, I wonder how that works? Just a thought.

  • I love this song. Maxi is truly one of Jamaica's finest artists, and its makes me proud to be a Jamaican too.

  • anfamone questa è la canzone de cat sevens

  • you know i've seen a lot of what world can do and it's breaking my heart in two............nice song

  • damn i remember this...

  • apla ta spaei

  • exellent song

  • lovely song....classic

  • saw maxi at M.E.N manchester..FANTASTIC SHOW..

  • ABSOLUTE CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!

  • i absolutly love this song!!:D Wiked

  • I felt that he did a good job doing the remake of Cat Stevens song..

  • In taste genres are broken, if you don't like it that's just fine, or are you a certified critic? I happen to like all versions I've heard, but yeah nothing like the "father" of all versions Mr. Stevens. Other singers present an homage to a beautiful song. Your critique is welcome.

  • Totally doesn't matter the genre, it's still a feeling, and a feeling should remain same throughout all instances.

  • I think you missunderstood me, what I meant is that there's different taste for difr't folks, regarding feeling remaining the same, no way thank goodness for individuallity!!!

  • love this song, always have done

  • this song ownsss! i heard it on the radio the other day and was getting pumped up. when i was looking for it i came across the Cat stevens version and all i gotta say is NO COMPARISON. this song is as good as duran duran- come undone

  • I like this version of Cat´s classic, very agreeable, smooth rhythm. Couldn´t watch the video, though. Gives me a headache.

  • i like cat and maxi, both songs (original and cover) are cool. maxi's version turn me on to cat's version.

  • This is a Cat Stevens song!

  • Buena cancion, esta fue la primera version que escuche

  • pure classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it

  • awful cover? This is way better than the original. Sounds much more smoother and as if maxi priest was the original singer.

  • Thank you, this is a much better cover to me than Cat Stevens.!!!!

  • love this song!!

  • my favorite song ever!

  • Good song!

  • maxi is hotttttt and so iz this song make me wanna dance and cry same time.

  • WHATEVER! this is the best song ever!!! ;) hahah ohhh baby baby its a wild world!

  • although this sounds good...there is nothing that is even in the same category as the original by Cat Stevens. It's waaaay deeper than this. This is good, but surely not the best.

  • I have to agree. While it is a fairly decent cover and the man can sing. This song lacks the soul of the original. For the intention of the song, it shouldn't be orchestrated with an upbeat rhythm.

  • j'adore cette chanson

  • best song ever

  • Maxi is a great singer. He can make a boring song turn to be lively just like this. I wonder if he can do the same to the song The Sound of Music... lol

  • 2 thumbs up...this song brings back memories

  • I was looking for this song for over 15 years. When I was in my native country Peru. Great Memories!!!. Now, I am 27 years I feel like a kid listening this great song. Thanks for posting!! :')

  • "I feel like a kid listening this great song. Thanks for posting!! :')", "Great memories!!!"

    I agree! <3

    Brings up so many great memories.. almost.. ah, im speechless. :) Just imagine...

  • why did someone mark this as spam?

  • i just remebered this song because it sums up exactly the thoughts i was just having - amazing

  • This is one of my favorite songs of all time! I love listening to it while I cruise in my car with the top down. Oh baby baby its a wild world!

  • this is my favorite video of all time, this song rules! Does anyone know who the girl is? She is so beautiful!!

  • class, pure classic

  • the original Cat Stevens song is much better... this one's energy isn't quite on par with the subject matter of the lyrics......

  • I've always thought Maxi had a sexy voice.

  • i just looooooooooooooooooove it!

  • the song is great but the showmanship does not depict the meaning of the song accurately. He did not put his soul into this song.....

  • damn soul
