Imogen Heap - Hide And Seek

[pureADD]

So beautiful, my sister died of anorexia a few months back and this is the song we played so say goodbye. Thankyou imogen.

[brothertwinz]

O.C. funeral

[dallarosaalberto]

Mi ricorda tantissimo the o.c l'ultima puntata della seconda stagione,bei tempi.

[25stellieos25]

class song loved it for ages

[random6590827]

any1 come here from hutchs montage ????? just askin

[sopngeo]

Thumbs up if you LOVED Imogen Heap BEFORE Jason Dewhatever

[INSTERMENTAL]

dubstep version is better :D -> check it out some time

[N1nJAGoAT]

Think this is amazing just wish that Derulo bit was not in there.

[Forward4Christ]

@N1nJAGoAT it's not his bit... it's hers

[SirPenguin75]

@N1nJAGoAT What do you mean "Derulo bit"? Imogen Heap wrote this song herself, it was Derulo who stole it.

[remboy3000]

Miku Hatsune...... ?

[VictoriaEHarris]

This is possibly one of the least imaginative music videos i've ever watched. Someone make a new one, it's such a great (tear jerking) song!

[Dalekbuster]

Is there any song released after 2010 that doesn't sample/ruin something good?

[UnsubscribedChannel]

This song was beautiful on its own! why did Jason Derulo have to take it and mix it with his crappy autotuned song? :(

[caterinao]

@MOHH2COD4 It's actually pretty amazing live - she got all the audience involved when I saw her in the Button Factory in Dublin last October

[MOHH2COD4]

bet she couldn't sing this half as good live..

[chezza87]

absolutely beautiful song!! i hate that all the new grime people stole the song!!!

[YoUndiscovered]

Jason Derulo ruined this song

[MrGameMachinima]

@YoUndiscovered  I listned to derulo before i heared this and i thought " i wish there was a version of this that was just the chorus" then i realised it was actualy by imogen and i was like thank GOD for that !

[SuperFuckinAwesome]

@YoUndiscovered Jason Derulo ruined his name. What the hell is a Derulo anyway?

[Vanessa61369]

@YoUndiscovered how he only took the whatcha say part ..?

[remboy3000]

I only found out why I was interested in this song. Listen to the vocaloid Miku Hatsune's singing. You only get the real feeling off songs from computerised voices.

[mrwaztom]

so autotunes

[nailedurmum01]

@mrwaztom not autotuned, her vocal track is fed through a vocoder

[mrwaztom]

@nailedurmum01 ah right i see :) cheers, and i made a bad typo >.<

[danbeanzz]

thumbs up if you came to this video cos you wanted to hear the original of all the remixes

[pryopwnage]

Lemon jizz is what we need?

[Puppyprincesss]

I used to think the singer was a boy. Until I found the music video.

[silca6]

It's funny cause her sales have probably rocketed since the Dear Sister.

[sonicfelipemt]

i was thinking she was a man... LOL

[gobabsumnida]

soooooo beautiful. Always makes me sad in a good way...

[thedanielseach]

It's a fucking keyboard in the background when she sings... roflmao.

[nailedurmum01]

@thedanielseach No i'ts not you fucking idiot, her vocal track goes through a vocoder.

[youxknowxyouxluvxit]

@thedanielseach nope

[8brono8]

most beautiful use of 4 chords i think i have ever heard

[InOnTheChase]

Man, She has such a beautiful Voice!

[lozthegreat1]

@InOnTheChase i dont think that her natural voice

[AmieAzing]

I hate that some tacky "rnb" singer took this song and tried to make it less special.

didnt work.

[xLingyy]

I think it is so much better than the JDversion or whatever you call it

[SplinterCell37]

I've felt like this too many times.

[lerezak]

:)

[RhinstoneSouron]

This is fucking epic!

[MyKeyMoonShine]

this is what these kind of effects should be for not making it seem like someone who can't sing can but creating interesting and experimental sounds xx

[MysteryAnaGirl]

this is so unfair jason durolo copied this song and made a shitty version of it and imogen isnt evan getting any credit for her whatcha say bit :(

[MTGlipp]

@MysteryAnaGirl

It's not unfair =/

I'm pretty sure Imogen gave Jason Derulo permission to use the sample

and as much as I can't stand the cover, he did nothing wrong. People sample and cover stuff all the time

[swiIson]

@MysteryAnaGirl lol she will have be paid alot by Jasons Durolos Producers to use that sample.

[mrparky1984]

Love this song soooo much and she is awesome live

[DewButterfly]

I like this. Normally I am quite critical of synthesised music and all that but this works. It's beautiful and original.

[SiuKar628]

what is this song talking about?

[OldNewsThinker]

glee would do this so well. imagine…all harmony *sigh

[RelapsePaintballTeam]

Jason Derulo? pfff twat.

[Tsuta]

2:51

[xoxH3L3Nxox]

A beautiful song but I hate the robotic voice. I'd love it if she just sang it.

[clashrogers]

@xoxH3L3Nxox She's using a Vocoder which is a synthesis/ analysis system.

[ShanefromWales]

@xoxH3L3Nxox If you listen hard enough...her voice is still in the background with no effects on.

[redman476]

am i the only one who skipps to the part where she says watcha saying

[DetectiveElephant]

so gorgeous i almost can't listen...

[LAURAbrap]

i'm excited about life.

[Gezim911]

People! Jason Derulo didn't steal a sample of this song, JR Rotem did, JR Rotem is his producer! He had the idea to put the sample! JR Rotem always takes a sample or steals a rhythm from another song. Any song that starts with J,J,J,J,JR! in the start, like Watcha Say, then it is produced by JR Rotem, JR Rotem sucks ass!

[iMtHeBeSt75]

gay ._.

[phenx911]

@iMtHeBeSt75 dun like it WHY LISTEN TO IT FAG ^_^

[iMtHeBeSt75]

@phenx911 scusa io sono italiana e non capisco con chiarezza quello che mi stai dicendo però sappi che la canzone mi piace però e il cantante non si capisce se è un maschio o una femmina xD usa google traduttore per capirmi ;) ciauz !!

[skastokes]

I adore this song... definitely one of my favourite songs by Imogen Heap! Can't wait to see her in St Kilda soon...

[Frenkino94]

I will O.C. again, Ryan Seth Marissa and Summer <3

[KONAN16S]

i listen to this song whenever i want to calm down

[serfox1]

I love this track. Entirely digital vocals, incredibly powerful. <3

[nailedurmum01]

@serfox1 The vocals are not 'digital' they are created using a vocoder and infact the main vocal track is completely dry of effects. Deffinately incredibly powerfull tho!

[serfox1]

@nailedurmum01 A vocoder is a digital effect. And there are actually effects underlying the main thing, though if those are performed live or not, remains to be seen. :P

[nailedurmum01]

@serfox1 However if you knew how they worked you would know that the main vocal track is comepletely dry.

[molla2586]

semplicemente meravigliosa

[Enardah]

I think they got the letter-boxing a bit wrong. :P

[Enardah]

Trains are sewing machines? Lolwut?

[kingofdjembe]

Loon sampled this song before JR Rotem (Derulo's producer). Anyway, both version are great; and the original is more beautiful and emotional IMO.

[asher666]

ARRGGHHH cant get the track out of my head, then played the Reece hook version over and ovvverrrrrrrr :)

[asher666]

@asher666 Finally managed to play this to death.... but i still go all gooey :)

[alexmacca93]

I only watched this because of the Dear Sister SNL spoof!

[ilyatrillybebbes]

..a comment just about the pure greatness of this song, not about watcha say shit or synathsyser stuff.

<3

[WoRrY1997]

wth is goin' on?

[fatlardwholikespie]

1:20 trains are sowing machines?

[spectrum99122]

Perhaps the world's most beautiful person in terms of talent, looks and music. Quite a claim.

[Katiekat2522]

I stick my head next to the fan and sing this song when I'm bored.

[ivanchovancho]

is that a dude or a chick?

[steviersmith]

I agree with guitardude, the watcha say bit makes this song sound common... meh

[guitardude341]

Anyone else actually love the rest of the song? The mmm whatcha say bit is actually my least favourite part.

[clashrogers]

@guitardude341 That part you disliked is the most memorable part thanks to The OC

[anotheropinion99]

@guitardude341

ckeck ! ^^ right there with u

[LolliesAreYum29]

For all those people who have only come here because a 'Jason Derulo' song, you are pathetic. He is a insenstive plagerist, who steals PROPER artists songs.

[MrDubstix]

... Very BeauTiful <3

[Thenextlevel17]

defs here for 2:50

[1makermovie]

I came here for 2:50

[abels121]

fuck that auto turner is annoying

[ShanefromWales]

@abels121 Auto tuner? dont think so  Harmonisa is the thing that is used quite a difference

[abels121]

@ShanefromWales its still annoying...

[Palisar]

@abels121 it's not an autotuner, it's a synthesizier that is programmed to mimic the tone of her voice, it being the only instrument used in this song. Somebody as talented as her doesn't need something as pathetic as an autotuner. She hits those notes naturally, check out a live video if you don't believe me.

[abels121]

@Palisar hooray?

[kratauss]

the music start at 2:52...lol

[eyefoundnemo92]

simplistic but amazing

[clatters4tewkesbury]

booring

[SlyRacoon9]

Take everything you think you know about music, screw it up into a tiny ball, then listen to this.

[thefirstsneedlechee]

this film clip doesn't do the song justice. it's so lazy and boring

[CONVICT700]

@thefirstsneedlechee im actually working on making a music video for this song. my brother wrote a good screenplay. its very moving.... ill send it to you whenever its done

[AjelandroMontana]

MMMMMM WATCHA SAY

[Denise18xxx]

Shivers...

[pirralho3]

2:51

[MrTiwad]

I think this song, though very beautiful and well-singed, would be remained one of the many minor electronic music tracks without fame, it hadn't been for the laughable SNL "Dear sister" meme. They should at least give them a part of their income for-

BANG! *gets shot by Imogen Heap*

2:52 MMMM WHAT YOU SAAAY...

[Skyscraperman2000]

2:52 Watcha Say

[TommyCee123]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM WHATCHA SAY

[FOCUSEGO]

Sublime track! ... love her work!

[secondnatureful]

Amazing tune makes mdma 100% better! x

[khasz01]

@secondnatureful Actually, music like this makes MDMA obsolete.

[MrJimjamuk]

after hearing jason derulos song before this (prefere this song by a mile) the bit in the jason derulo song feels a bit out of place in this, dunno what you guys think?

[cherrylicous]

thank you, @keakuma

[wadehjb]

Incredible song with a really innovative sound. It really annoys me how some DJ can rip part of this track and end up taking credit (and a load of money) for it..

[Enieameid]

is that a man:S???

[rohan1678]

such immense plagarism (hide and seek is so much better)

[keakuma]

at 2:50 lies what you've come looking for

[bzflagkiller]

@keakuma thank you friend

[LonTin]

@keakuma LOLOLOLOL

[b33p]

@keakuma rofl, I had no idea what you were talking about until I clicked. The original is best, Tiesto (who almost always fucks everything up and makes it super cheesy) actually did a good job as he retained the emotion of this song, imho.

[mubzPiqueFan]

PROFEZZZOORRR LLOYDD!!!!!!!! WOOHOOO WALRUS!!!!

[uzielux1]

better than Jason Derulo

[amoilmare85]

lei è brutta forte ma la canzone è stupenda...

[juliabeliify]

2:52 The Best Part !

[MrLemonpants]

Mmmm watcha say is the only good part out of this song, hahaha

[cokehead1969]

@MrLemonpants agreed 

[iMADaYe]

@nemo371994 agreed. You can definitely tell the difference. And if you look at when it was recorded in 2005 I'm pretty sure back then there was such a thing called "real singers" who actually had real talent, not people who are only signed to labels for their looks and need to be autotuned. Idk if autotune was actually introduced back then??? BTW I like her dress:) and she's quite pretty.

[CJoMin]

@iMADaYe Accept the fact that music is also a business. If you've such contempt for today's music, continue to listen to the music by "real singers", as you'd like to put it. Your meaningless, inane whining will change nothing.

[iMADaYe]

@CJoMin I totally agree with that, music is a business. For singers, instrumentalists it is their job and they're doing what they can to get there music out to a specific target audience. Things are constantly changing to suit peoles tastes, interests, likes and dislikes. I personally have a deep respect for all music because it is all different. Auto tuning i don't have a problem with. Some songs really suit it- If you think about the likes of Justice Crew. I appreciate your opinion though:)

[SupaDupaWoopa]

The song is ok, but wtf she is ugly!

[padi1992pl]

This is so not like "Wacha say" by Derulo, I mean this is worse.

[Oplelo]

Could you guys just stfu?

I'm here,and on Jason Derulo's clip just to hear the "Watcha Say" part.

But this one got more 2 seconds,so this one is superior.

Deal with it.

[MegaGringoo]

This song reminds me THE OC !!! The best TV series ever !!!

[huntersimage]

it calms me down...

[ASDAPOI]

This is kinda beautiful.

:)

[uzielux1]

151 persons fans of jason derulo ¬¬

[TfT01]

the song starts after 3 minutes? XD

[MrsPacar]

@TfT01 No, it starts at 0:00. 

[MoshiMoxx]

@MasonTutorials hide and seek came out first watcha say sampled this.

[reesie9]

reminds me of the o.c.

i loved imogen heap ever since.

[D0ct0rAwesome]

@shootsbraw Just noticing, there is a higher and a much lower pitch. She sings just normally, and you hear it. On top of that, there's a higher (indeed) autotuned/vocoded/whatever'd voice. Lower's the same. Just sayin'

[iTzRiPPo]

joehans0me :D

[shootsbraw]

somebody better tell this chick that she cant autotune her way to success...

worked once for kanye, and thats bad enough.

[HabboShape]

@shootsbraw Its not autotune you retard...

[cynicown]

@HabboShape do u happen to know the name of the vocal effect used? such a nice effect

[Jumalacca]

@shootsbraw Lmao, don't be a bad. Imogen Heap is one of the few real singers with a real voice who does her own real work. I could rattle off a list of ten or so songs right now to argue my case that she's one of the best artists still making music today. Though I do admit I was a little disappointed with Eclipse.

[greensky36]

@shootsbraw you retard its not autotune its an effect, she blatantly has a beautiful voice...with this effect it makes even more unique

[shootsbraw]

@greensky36 retard? you use strong words to often you imbecile! this effect has many names like, decabuddy or digitech vocalist live! which basically is a rip off of autotune which BASICALLY is a phase vocoder that is used MOST often to correct pitch in vocal and instrumental performances and can also be used to double or triple in this case the singers voice but in a different pitch! or harmony!

i just had to slap some sense into your "retard" ass...

you welcome btw...

[greensky36]

@shootsbraw goodness me i was just sticking up for her because i think she's amazing, most people have the same opinion.Hahah how do you know i use 'strong words too often' ? you don't know me

yeah i get it you like to use the word basically

yes but this is a different case and is not being used to auto tune

*your *by the way

[MadSkeelz16]

to everyone that's hatin on Jason Derulo, he sampled a song, so what?? .... it's not a new concept trust me, i'm fairly sure it been done before by one of two people !!

[oomil]

this song always gives me goosebumps lol

[ThePeter113]

this is what jason derulo stole, to make his awome song

[MusiicLover1993]

I laugh at all the comments saying this song is "overrated" when "all she's done is autotuned her voice and left off the music". People make it sound like no creative thought went into this, but I ask you this: how many other artists would be brave enough to strip a song back to this degree and have only their VOICE take centre stage? Just sayin'.

[helowako]

@MusiicLover1993 agree :)

[MadSkeelz16]

@MusiicLover1993 Some people wouldn't do it because it's not nice to listen too, and also, the people expressing their opinion on here are not to be "laughed at", they're saying what they think of the song just like you did, if it was a issue then commenting would be disabled !!

[yazminthestrange]

@MusiicLover1993 It's not even autotuned that's the thing.

It's a very complicated thing that she's done :lol

it's all her voice, nothing has necessarily changed the pitch which is basically what auto tune is for.

Annoys me how people say it's overrated too. :)

[LeftHandCookie]

fuck jason derulo

[leighsimpson14]

derulo may have made an "attempt" to use some of this song.....he may be getting the credit, but clever imogen is getting a VERY healthy pile of royalties, and this version is still better. she's probably laughing. good for her.

[MrCookingBacon]

I'm into hardcore. But I surprising like this a lot.

[iiamonfire]

@MrCookingBacon me too! It's actualy really good, even though it's nothing like what I usually listen too! :)

[BakkiBoo]

@19t0Ny91 Well we all should care really...Cos its kinda lame that someone rides on the shirt tails of others genius! But I guess thats what a parasite is! She probably got heaps of royalties but the credit is going to the wrong person!

[BakkiBoo]

@BakkiBoo ...as in JD got the credit & never mentioned her name as a feature in his stuff!!

THIS SONG is genius ...I love the harmony G ...I want one!!!! :)

[Env1ouz]

who is this fag ?

[CroftyEst1988]

@MasonTutorials yea were do you think jason derulo got it from lol

[Silversong88]

1.Pause this video at 0:00

2. Goto rainymood(dot)com and hit play.

3. Now play the song too.

4. Have a nice day :)

[Frinault]

God, what a voice :)

[Annicathryn]

i love this song, i hate the fact that jason derulo takes all the credit for writing that bit, when he didnt! drives me crazy!

[bordovik]

@Annicathryn Get over it. It's not the first or the last time this will happen.

[Annicathryn]

@bordovik allright don't have to be so rude about it

[jennypoole213]

@MasonTutorials hide and seek came first. whatcha say sampled this.

[PeteInABox]

Was this filmed on a iPhone or something?

[CroftyEst1988]

@PeteInABox i hate it when i see dopy comments like this.. honestly
