James Fauntleroy - Te Amo (prod. by Stargate)

[TheKuforiji]

i sang this song to my girl and she never wants to break up now

she held me and cried she was so happy

[KaymahTV]

I like his version so much more.

[pi1k]

i guy singing it makes much more sense!

[Kacze263]

[xXILoveMex]

woooW

[RussellRecordz]

/watch?v=vQoSfk0zPSA&feature=c­hannel_video_title

Thanks everyone for listening!

[LAcHaTAbita]

only two days ago i was in the same situation like him. girl view of course and it was a boy, kinda confusing ^^

[hiptrisha]

James Fauntleroy has been a songwriter exclusively. He wrote this and so many other songs for people like Chris Brown, Beyonce, Britney Spears, Charlie Wilson and many others! now You can finally buy his EP it is under the group name "Cocaine 80's". James Fauntleroy IS Cocaine 80's.

[supersonicswag2011]

rihanna sang this better. but props to james for writing it.

[uneekdesi]

@supersonicswag2011

yea i think so too, but you gotta admit he has a great voice. compare him to the likes of jason derulo and cassie, he's much better. imagine if he designed a song meant for himself...mindeffed.

[Negima012]

Rihanna didn't copy it. He's a songwriter. I like both versions. I kind of want them to do a duet of it

[iCheer6036]

why is he not famous? does he just write the songs? wth. im in looveeee with his voice. "so comfortable " is my favoritee!

[vintagechick1]

stunning

[MALKIA08]

better than rihanna's version

[bkayify]

@MALKIA08 She sings like she's drunk,drowsy and is being forced to sing,not sure wh@ people like in her AT ALL.

[snjp2014]

for all of yall who is saying rihanna copied this mans song yall should really get your stories straight cuz hes a songwriter and he gave her the song to sing

[snjp2014]

now for the people who are saying that Rhianna copied this man song yall should really get your stories straight cuz she didn't copy it he he gave it to her to her to sing he 's definitely a songwriter

[iMaaruu]

so much better as rihannas version

fckn btch copy this song -.-

[StArcher15]

@iMaaruu she didn't copy it....but he gave her this song. He's a songwriter

[hollywollard]

To me, both songs are amazing, but they each tell a different story entirely. This one is obviously telling how a man doesn't love this girl the same way, while Rihanna's is a little more on the edge because she's dealing with another woman being in love with her. I love them both!

[desafi0]

james - te amo desafio remix

[xwiNtz]

he did an WAY better job then rihanna did.

[yor5181]

Why isn't he a star yet?

[stigjoar]

what he did was to write from his heart, and create magic. he showed emotion and real feelings, and gives you the same thing, you hear that he means this. rihanna isnt even close to the same spark or magic.

[vintagechick1]

beautiful song.

[Mmmmmm3451]

rihannas version is better :D but this is OK.^^

[1w4nn4]

well you know what? i actually like this version better than Rihanna's... now srsly... he gives the song a feeling i don't get from Rihanna... just saying...

[TheGodfatherTCE]

@1w4nn4

i see you..i have the same feelings of that version :)

[CEPS00]

essa musica so feiz sucesso por causa da RIHANNA!

[CEPS00]

dessa musica fazer sucesso, se eu estiver errado me corija... ata me esqueci n to errado!.... msm aversao de lesbica dela feiz mooo suseso... do jeito q eese mundo ta, acho q a versao de lesbica faria mais susesso doque de heteros ;D

[pompom2001]

boo hoo?

She ruined a great song by doing that scary lesbian shit on the video and repelled the viewers. So glad she's smiling again. And wearing clothes.

[NaturalAfricanBeauty]

His voice is beautiful..=D..in my opinion..he def is a great writter..

[Crista601]

i think his voice is amazing, anyone agree?

[333cale]

the autotune on this is UNBEARABLE

not sure i ever heard a more fake voice

[Killah189611]

@333cale This voice isn't fake!;)

[dogyfizle]

@333cale you def bro? there's no autotune. you gotta be the worst hater ever.

[NaturalAfricanBeauty]

@333cale your and idiot!

[Blackroad16]

isnt it just amazing? james you rock <3

[1995hg]

I love this song and James sings beter than rihanna!

X

[Fififairly1]

would ppl stop debating on over which one is better? they are both awesome. I think that since this dude wrote it, he is beautiful! Hes an awesome singer! But I also really enjoyed how rihanna sang it! Got it? :P

[Strassendoktor]

his voice ist better than the voice from rihanna

[zakky62598]

those 11 ppl who disliked, thought the button was DIS-I-LIKE

[MonsterMo44]

@zakky62598 rofl

[RussellRecordz]

James Fauntleroy for life, always manage to bring us the best songs

[mikenew11]

i wish they had a ♡ button, because i would definitely press that one

[kmunger85]

Don't hate on either version.... Rihanna ands a very sultry tone to the song, and James is more of a painful romantic tone to it. They're both awesome, and kudos to James for writing it, whats a simple yet beautiful song.

[kutiekoala1]

i want it on my i pod but not on itunes=( soo good

[MissLoveProtector]

Love it!

[alizay32k]

james wrote this i hav rihannas album he wrote an gelped produce it it's hot

[TheAmiiKoo]

it's a beautiful song....he sings it a lot better than rihanna (i think)

[Whiteshuttershades09]

love it love it love it!!

[cherryberryatr]

LOVE IT(l)

[S0M3TiiM3S]

[cherryberryatr]

[gorepi]

*_* que bonita vos felicidades vas llegar muy lejos XD!!!! dioso, bello, kapo

[TiiaSweetNeSS31]

He wrote the song for her.

I personally like the Rihana version better

but this is good too :)

[Machelle3200]

i love this better..i'm not a dyke..i aint singing to no bytch!lol

[xStARzTrUlOvEx]

@Machelle3200 smh madd gayist.

[logos5miling]

The beat in the beginning = Deuces.

[Machelle3200]

@logos5miling i know right...i noticed that right off the bat...all they do is recycle nowdays..

[Cmayjalook]

This is the original and the BEST version.!

[niniusnathan]

@Cmayjalook onfirms that this is the original version and that Rihanna has "copied"?

[icka639zhintel]

should it be doesn't it mean? rather than don't it mean? . wats correct!!!

[Skimielyte]

This is better than Rihannas version :)

[ParadiseKiss15]

i dont like it but you have a nice voice ! ^^

[thedreamofastarful]

i like it but with rihanna it is more energetic

[JackBrumm]

At least this version is naturally much easier to sing for boys :D

An octave lower.....

[kelssxoo]

waaay better than rihanna. <3

[RihannaFanPR]

dude sounds like shit... Rihanna's version is wayy better!

[gavinjamesaitken1]

@RihannaFanPR pretty obvious u wuld say that judging by your username. rihanna doesnt write any of her own material, she sucks.

[RihannaFanPR]

@gavinjamesaitken1 yea... thats good to kno

[Alkazone01]

Respekt from Germany ;)

[Funerarios1irmao]

dont like how rihanna pretty much steals this from him (possibly an emerging artist?) never heard of this guy but hes good

[Spriinkel]

@Funerarios1irmao Rihanna didn't steal it away from him, HE WROTE IT FOR HER, HES A SINGER/SONGWRITER AND WRITES SONGS FOR LOADS OF PEOPLE, HES REAL GOOD.

[malaliful]

@Spriinkel so he wrote it for a girl? ye ok. hes better than her anyway

[Spriinkel]

@malaliful Yeah for rihanna. He wrote loads of songs for her and other artists, and yes he's amazing.

[RihannaFanPR]

@Funerarios1irmao he's a demo singers this is the Rihanna Te Amo demo and Rihanna bought it from him. Besides if Rih stole this song, she would had been sued and the song would be pulled right from the CD

[animalsrkool258]

He has a nice voice =)

I like his and Rihanna's version the same

[Cmayjalook]

This shits on Rihannas bull shit fucking.

[schmazefatz1]

of wich trade mark is the sunglasses?

[roxytiana]

rihanna isn't bi

[Ceilingkitteh14]

@roxytiana

How do you know? =_=

[musiq313]

*fucked up!!!

[musiq313]

Man Cris brown stole the beat and reh reh stole the lyrics!!! That's real ducked up!!!

[POWERADEBOI123]

@musiq313 spelling mistake i think

[dragonessly]

so.. good!!!

[makmegs]

ow wow, i just thought rihanna was trying to pull kate perry bisexual/"i kissed a girl and i like it" bullshit.

oh i was wrong lol

[LilFireworkz]

sounds like deuces

[farankharal]

11 people have no heart

[RatchetCitySavage318]

fyi... hes a singer songwriter... soooo... to make it simple he gets paid to write songs...but yeaa if u only knew all the songs he wrote... u wud b sooo surprised... hes super super talented...

[MusicManiaBand]

it was kinda weird that rihanna say 'she says to me'.when i heard it i though rihanna was a lesbian

[doom032]

@MusicManiaBand She is bi.

[jaebaebee]

@doom032 i really dont think you understand the song...

[doom032]

@jaebaebee I wasn't talking about the song, Rihanna has stated that she is bisexual.

[bartjeuhz]

i bet he gets a sh*tload of money for writing this track. thumbs up!

[Tounuo]

you guys doesnt get it right? :D

rihanna put a bridge in the song where she sings "...but i dont feel that way..."

---->not lesbian ;P

[MaShawnsGirl]

This is really very nice...easier on the ears

[MyRope09]

To quench the thirst of critising Rhianna, I will say that this version is a bit better albeit lacking the soulful and vocals of Rhianna. However, I do actually prefer Rhianna's version. It has been done way too much, songs about guys who can't find and reel their emotions in. But with Rhianna's version, it has drama for me anyway. And the rumours about her being a lesbian? I wished people weren't so quick to judge, just because she sang a song about it, doesn't mean she is one.

So there!

[h6775424]

JAMES GO SUPER HARD

[joecool898748]

this version is good but rihannas is more soulful i dont know i just like her voice

[megapink1994]

 its so much more beautiful. :)

[ryzistar]

I love his version better

[anitagu21]

rihanna sings from her nose, i love love love this version. u should have rleased it 1st

[MaShawnsGirl]

@anitagu21 ... you got that right...she sure does

[TashaG16]

Ooo I like both versions

[bananaarts]

this is a demo @ all noobs :>

[alicia33o1]

i know this version for a long time ago !!!! better than rihanna's version !!!!!!

[kazadiiia07]

no really !! rihanna assasinated this song !!!

[kevcarspray]

The mind who wrote this is so talented

[MonsterMo44]

@kevcarspray according to wiki it was written by 4 people

[PerryML]

@MonsterMo44 3 of them are the producers, so they probably only wrote the music, not the lyrics.

[TheMimi90s]

@kevcarspray who is that then?

[apiefan]

@TheMimi90s

the one who sings this aswell

[TaniaWooo]

the guy singing is the one who wrote it i think :)

[Harajukafist]

@TaniaWooo HE IS.

[uneekdesi]

@TaniaWooo

he did write it

[elicia345]

@TaniaWooo woooooow. you're smart. xD

[TaniaWooo]

@elicia345 are you trying to be sarcastic?

[cudder2313]

@kevcarspray james fauntleroy wrote it and gave it to rihanna personally i think james does a better job, but nearly every rnb hit on the charts is written by this talented fella :)

[25crazymonkey]

@cudder2313 yea he did sell it to her you can tell cause it makes more sence him sayin it dan rhianna dont u think

[cudder2313]

@25crazymonkey yehh dude know one wants to here a chick singing about other chicks, rihannas a sell out in my oppinion.. 

[Darknezz9]

you would think they would give him credit but nooooo

[StatikGurl21]

James F is the MANTIS ! sings it nice, rihanna killed it thou, no doubt shes the artist who he gave his song to. lol x

[headed4thebottom]

Boohoo, stop fucking crying about Rihanna's version. They're both good.

[UnordinaryNegro]

@headed4thebottom THANK YOU!

[delaisla777]

@headed4thebottom this version is so much better

[headed4thebottom]

@delaisla777 Whatever, I like 'em both. >.>

[gavinjamesaitken1]

i love the beat! and your version is better cause it actually makes sense rather than it being about lesbos...

[lilkoerd]

fock rihanna this is better

[TheChinaDoll90]

i think this would have been an ace duet! they both have amasing voices and with rihanna's strength it would have been well lush! :)

[rhighland]

@TheChinaDoll90 indeed they should collaborate they would smash shit!

[BellaLovesBieber12x3]

LMFAOOO @Kyliewiley83  SOOO TRUEEE. Yuhh do sinqq iht MADDDD GOODD (; Yurh awesomee Dudee.

[FitDonkey]

she added the bit i like the most though.......

Listen we can dance, but you gotta watch your hands

Watch me all night, I'm movin' to the light because I understand

That we all need love and I'm not afraid

I feel the love, but I don't feel that way

[KatieKatCupcake]

u STFU <.< i love both versions, stop hatin' on rihanna

[realmadridstyle]

@KatieKatCupcake

rihanna sucks. overrated artist . anoying voice

[KatieKatCupcake]

@realmadridstyle she actully made this song popular, you all know the reason :)

[topix1985]

@realmadridstyle

that's true!

[BigStickProducitons]

Rihanna= Yuh!!

James= Cool!

[hoekknight]

which is original? from rihanna or Fauntleroy?

[RtA1913]

@hoekknight this is just a demo! rihanna and her team decided to record this and add a new verse, which i think rihanna wrote and include it in Rated R

[divinessify]

im luvin this version but its lackin that strong vocals that myk riri's version so much betta

[COfosua]

mhh good track from him and Rihanna version is D-vilish :-O

[Zahnstocher100]

Die Version von Rihanna finde ich persönlich besser...weil ichs von rihanna zuerst gehört hab u. mich an ihre version gewöhnt hab ^^

[EliiCiiOus]

Wunderschöner Song!

Rhianna versaut den nur...

[Littlemimi1]

I like this version so much than the verion of Rihanna! Why did you give your song to her? I like your voice :)

[kidumic]

First i was think is white boy .. but is black . !

One word : Respect !

[DaDopeStar]

@kidumic what does it matter if he is black or white his music is good

[kidumic]

@DaDopeStar Right , but the voice is like white :) And verry GOOD !:P

[01010202p]

!AMAZING!

[blueroyalty3]

this song makes sense, whether a guy or girl sings it, coz they're both essentially telling the girl they dont feel the same way...Both version's are really good, but i prefer rihanna's.

[hayaat22]

He sounds better than dat Illuminati Bitch

[MusicalAgenda]

@hayaat22 lmao

[4077884]

rihanna shouldve sung it like this

[wjl76360]

I Like this version better than Rihanna's

[lilranii]

das lied hat rihanna geklaut

[PamLove92]

Rihanna's version doesn't make sense because she's singing: "She says >Te Amo<". Is she lesbian?! xD

[3ooyoon]

VERY NICE I like this soo much

[CRazJlink]

i like them both

[JamieMallikaRay]

wow

his voice is so much better =)

Stupid Rihanna!

[aagtp20]

Sung by Rihanna, would make one go "Huh?" But by James Fauntleroy, the lyrics actually makes more sense.

[jacinda123]

in this song, performed by him, there is no one verse : "Yes we can dance, but you gotta watch your hands.

Watch me all night, I'm movin to the vibe because I understand that we all need love

And I'm not afraid to feel the love but I don't feel that way, no " it's a pitty :(

[njipods]

 do a ft with rianna!!

steel some fame!!

[se3mra]

daaaaaaaaas is very nice i love this musicel

[nameght12]

i like rihanna's better

[nojikonamiko]

ich glaube die geben die hits an die stars damit wir uns dann die originalen lieder anhören^^ so wie dis hier z.b. :D

[112rulez]

echt geiles dingen ...besser al rihanna ....warum gibt ihr eure hits imma ab an die stars ???? ich versteh da snicht könnte alle kohle damit machen !!!!!!!

[budellababy]

Fuck. You should've kept this. I hate Rihanna's voice. Yours is so smooth. :(

[amybaby5671]

i love this its better to have it as a man and a womens voice to see who sings it better for boy or girl i love this one you shouldnt have sold it you should of had it to yourself :) i love your voice make some more like this but keep them to yourself you rock :) !! <3

[tiamora2710]

so much better than rihanna's version

[Feuerschaf]

I prefer this original version since it has more latin touch than Rihannas. Nonetheless she tried to stay close to the original and therefore her version is good, too.

And she has Laetitia in her video, the only reason to watch it ;-)

Do you remember the Song "Self Control" from Raf back in the 80s, covered by Laura Branigan ? Somehow it's similar here.

`fuck rihanna's version, this is way better, i love his voice 'L

[redheaddolly]

really better version I think, Rihanna's voice annoys me in the other

[TheSenkav]

Rihanna's voice is more dramatic. Like the lesbian version better.

[scottcmusic]

amazing artist and song loved it ever since i first heard this, as a tribute iv done my own cover check it out @ scottcmusic : )

[googoogagaaaa]

i love this guy!! he should be famous and bigg his voice is freakin awesome<3
