Jr Rotem on Jason Derulo's "What If"

[squeezewilson9]

My boy Derulo looked like he had a whole jar of Soul Glow in his head lol!!!

[ilikeshoegazing]

what is that bitch mic'ing at 1:17?!? hahaha

[beathatdrum]

@ilikeshoegazing the keyboard... 

[ilikeshoegazing]

@beathatdrum let me rephrase that. why is that bitch mic'ing the keyboard at 1:17?! haha

[qtippz]

@ilikeshoegazing lmao that's funny as shit

[JerMarMusicGroup]

He is using ProTools

[dominusdominomusic]

what program is he using

[ThaRealBummyDavis]

the producer literally makes everything. Celine Dion had that monster Titanic song but she made very little money off of it because she just sang. Usually the singer makes about 20% and the producer around 60%

[MrJETCITY]

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.

[jazzy19001]

Adam Lambert actually produced a lot of his upcoming album "Trespassing" - so it can be done that the artist has a lot of say in the final product.

[PuffMajor]

@jazzy19001 solid reference...

[kafrances]

Ey Michelle Marie can i have a massage with happy ending??

[shintaro1]

wow...you can almost tell hes genius just by the way he talks

[neto920]

I bet no one knew his voice would sound like that

[EpidemicBeatz]

Producers deserve ALOT more credit then they are given

[joker562228]

@gijoo76 you just noticed?? >.>

[DavidKop88]

Finally people now, that the producer is improtant, too.

[theflipking]

Haters gonna hate no lifers

[Aram1111111111111111]

@njcm15 Logic studio 9

[BreezyDaSwagMan]

All of those plaques are his? Well, he's def making 7 figures if that's the case.

[gavquinn]

JR Rotem appears to be a total cunt.

[JAHZILLABEATS]

I worked with JR on Sharks Tale Movie sound track. JR gets it in on the production. @jahzillabeats

[simon1976uk]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha look at 1:15 she holds the microphone to the keyboard! The sound comes from the keys?!

[jilz01]

those chords are very similar to the ones of Lil' Wayne - My Life

[MadmanKillEmAll]

He's the real artist 

[VeronicaAngel123]

A huge thank you and job well done to all producers out there. Never new the producers did most of the job.. (:

[L3nn3rt3]

i thaught it was pauly D at first. :D

[PopCulture20]

@L3nn3rt3 Pauly wouldn't be on that crappy show Jersey Shore with the rest of them clowns if he was producing these hits.

[BraBaBe]

well, the artists dont earn that of the income anyways

[satellitetvatpc]

great great great producer.Lot's to learn :) Thanks.

[ZXbolterZX]

J-J-J-J R!

[elvolutionstudios]

jjjjjrrrrrrrrrrrr

[gijoo76]

I can't believe no one knew this;

The artists that take credit for songs (i.e. Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Adam Lambert, etc.) don't write their own songs. At all.

The producer (with other staff) makes EVERYTHING (from the beat to the vocal melody).

So these artists that people praise have little to do with the actual song-making; the producer just chooses which voice would "suit" the song.

[anna2010dance]

@gijoo76 They still got the voice, and without a good voice you can't make a good music baby :)

[MrSilentDoubleA]

@anna2010dance He didn't even make the vocal lines...Derulo that is.

And his voice is not that good.

And you can make good music without a good voice.

[fizwidget101]

@gijoo76 and the producer is obviously working for the Illuminati lol

[TheSoundDoctors]

@gijoo76 duh? you didn't know that? haha they're just good for looks and their voice

[larry89]

@gijoo76

yes but they do get paid well for their work

[aftertouchbeatz]

@gijoo76 exactly, well, for most pop music and r&b anyway, the artists on the track is simply like a another instrument; controlled and written by other composers who "control" the artists performance

[SoundHouseMusic]

@gijoo76 Thanks for saying this.... I've been trying to explain this sentiment to people for years, I'm glad your comment got enough thumbs up to be seen

[TheOneAndOnlyKing88]

@gijoo76 Amen to that!

[rosamonte76]

@gijoo76 katy perry writes as well..

[xMASSxDx187x]

@gijoo76 u cock ... producers PRODUCE the beat/instrumental ... it takes a lot more work than u do for singing!

[wetbobo]

@gijoo76 While there certainly are a lot of cases like what you describe, nobody should think it's the standard. I'm on the inside, part of a Grammy Award winning production team based on the east and west. I'm an assistant to the producers and (sometimes also) the mixers. For most of our clients, actually, we actually get them (the artist) totally involved in lyrical input and melodic 'vibe' if nothing else. Hey, not everyone's a great top-line writer! But, this way they also score points.

[aprilla101]

@gijoo76 HAHA fuckin true !!

[rocfamproduction]

@gijoo76 never forget, music is an indusrty! even the producers have other people/producers who write/produce/arrange their songs (especially those big ones like JR rotem). actually its perfect... cause everyf***ingbody wants to work with you when youre big, sending you beats and ideas!

they have their own songwriters, their own producer camps. its all industry! =)

[kylebike128]

@gijoo76 soooo true

[PuffMajor]

@gijoo76 cant believe ppl thought they wrote their own stuff

[RandomToughGuy]

"he wrote a majority of the song"

wow jason derulo, a real artist

[ThePrenian]

Choose from ''What if'' from Jason Derulo or Coldplay? I know..

[0987654a5]

FIRST

[MrSilentDoubleA]

So the producer makes everything? LOL...

[marinelovesuperman]

@MrSilentDoubleA shut up ! jason write the lyrics ! 

[MrSilentDoubleA]

@marinelovesuperman Just looked them up, not really good..at all.

[marinelovesuperman]

@MrSilentDoubleA i'M curious to see you write lyrics with just a beat for idea ...

[MrSilentDoubleA]

@marinelovesuperman I dont write lyrics, but I never claimed I did.

I know several love-lyrics who are 10-1000 times better though :)

[Xzibitfreek]

@MrSilentDoubleA what did you expect :P

[JohnF30Music]

@MrSilentDoubleA  yes, the producer makes everything, including the money.

[EugenekSung]

@MrSilentDoubleA unless you're pharell or kanye. they do both. but a lot of artists also help write but nowadays tats really rare..

[MrSilentDoubleA]

@EugenekSung Depends of what you mean by "artists." Most of the people I listen to write, play and produce (or atleast contributes to it beyond what Derulo does) all their music themselves.

[kiashadowwave]

i love the way this shitty music is produced these days.

[PopCulture20]

@kiashadowwave LOL YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY JR PRODUCES?

[Canadianflipboy1]
