I don't get why there's a big debate over which version is better. Listening to them both back to back it doesn't sound like Timberland did anything except add a couple "yeah-ah-oh's" here and there. Otherwise i think they sound almost the exact same
I love the one with Timberland, don't get me wrong. However, I feel that this one is the better version. It has a certain je ne sais quoi that the other version simply lacks.
yes this is the song!!! the song that changed my life everywhere!! at school whoever i met it changed my personality.. now i need to do the rest.... good thing good life is on :P
This is not the original . Its not even the original music, music seems fake/computer generated. And this isn't Ryan singing here. Look up the reall version
Sad that many people who are commenting don't realize that Timberland remixing and releasing this song exposed One Republic to people who had never heard of them and increased their fan base. As a fan of One Republic I feel that, if they believed that it would be a hit they should have released it before Tim asked to remix it. Obviously Tim saw something in this song that they didn't see and thought he could put a spin on it that would make it unforgettable. Give credit where credit is due.
The girl you just called fat? She is overdosing on diet pills. The girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home. See that man with the ugly scars? He fought for our country. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother is dying. post this to another video, if you are against bullying. You never know what its like until you walk a mile in their shoes to late to apologize
Oh, the memories of listening to this song when it had around 300 hits on myspace...So proud of these guys, they've come so far :) Ryan Tedder, you sound so cute and little here! You have a stonger voice now, my friend. Haha I love every version of this song, but this is the best one. Thanks for posting it. :)
as a point of interest, the word "thug" is derived from the word "thugee" a Hindu murder cult that killed travellers in the name of the goddess shiva in her guise as the destoryer........ not that it really adds much to the debate however......
The word "racist" is losing its meaning because people like staycivil abuse it. Pretty soon it won't mean a goddamn thing. Don't bother arguing with him. His world is all black and white, no gray.
Just a few years ago, no one knew who one republic was and I was Iike one of their biggest fans...to all those idiots who said these were crappy songs...IN ....UR......FACE :P
Both versions are good in my opinion. Both have it's uniqueness.
The song is not just the added "eeh eeh eeh" for the difference. There are differences in the music and with the instruments.
In addition to the above, if you listen carefully to the chorus, it is a lot more emotional with the added electronic distortion for the Timbaland version.
I remember hearing about One Republic years ago, showing them to my friends, and having them all say they didn't like their music and that they'd never be famous. Bam.
@coolmasn why even mention anything after the original... isnt that why we are here? because the original is way better... with even saying it we all know this.
@Romeighla Thats why we like it, It's not supposed to be energetic.I'm pretty sure someone cheated on him in this song because he sounds restrained.If someone broke ur heart r u gonna sound energetic. Thats the problem with the timbaland version.
Why in hell didn't they release this version? This is better than the version avaible on iTunes, and sh*tloads better than the remix with Timbaland in it.
@TrainzMovieTheatre it was released... it's on youtube! Youtube is open to the majority of the public sooo it was released for public ears. Wouldn't you agree?
i don't know why they didn't release this version.it so ADDICTING&GOOD!!i've already listen to it ..i don't know how many times but that just shows you that it's good,i mean you can here it for yourself and see that.you know what they say-you can't top the ORIGINAL.
There's another version before this one. It's closer to this one than the Timbaland version, except it isn't mixed as good as this one and the kick and snare are different, same pattern though.
yeaah I liked much more this version...thumbs up for the ones taht could get it...it's so hard to find this version, i look for this and I just could find the timbaland version till now thank you (:
@KillaKyle4473 If we could lift the vocals off the other timberland track and put it to this music, don't forget that ehh, ehh, ehh (lol)....I think it would perfect, at least for me:)
Hey check out my advanced piano cover of this song on my channel, along with other covers and improvisations, I promise you wont be disappointed! Thanks :)
@MsLushDiva no, what i meant is that his version was picked to be played on radio. also though both versions were available for download, timbaland's version sold accounted for almost 90% of the sales. he helped onerepublic get noticed by many
He is not a thug. He is a Black man from Virginia who has launched or re-invigorated careers of people like Missy Elliott, Ginuwine, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Aaliyah, and One Republic. He's a good producer and you should really check out Shock Value - plenty of awesome tracks.
