The song is written by Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, James Fauntleroy and Rihanna...
Fauntleroy didn't sing this song for a personal album.. When the song was written, it's was about to be sung by Rihanna!!! So, nobody copied/stole/covered the song!!!!!
5 Minutes ago I found out that "Te Amo" from Rihanna isn't her own song and that it's only a cover. I searched the original and now I found it. Normally it's miserable to cover the song in exactly the same way like the original interpreter sung this! I mean it's exactly the same melody, the same rhytm, the same text, the same tone pitch. Everything is the same! But here it isn't because anything is different and I think that this difference is that Rihanna is famous!
i love this better than rihanna's! but it would be better if his voice was slightly deeper and huskier and not a boyband type of voice. thats my opnion though. DON'T HATE ON ME PLEASE PEOPLEZ!!!! DX its just a bit high for this type of song. PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!!!
This song and Rihanna's are exactly the same..the only difference is it is sang by a male. People relate to it better because it depicts a heterosexual romance whereas Rihanna's depicts the opposite. In my opinion..Rihanna's is much sexier...
This Is the Original And I Likee It Kinda better Than The 1st One But On Rihanna`s Version i liked the Part Where She Was Like You Gotta Watch You Hands<33
Please don't get me wrong. I just wish to voice my opinion.
I don't understand how Rhianna can sing this song wrong, or why her version (or herself) sucks. I have to admit, I feel like there is more emotion the way James sings it. But, why does that make Rhianna's version suck? Music is to be interpreted in different ways. I think it's good that Rhianna sings in in a different perspective. So please be openminded when listening and enjoying music. ^_^
Ok.. But when he sings this song with this lyrics its another song cause hes a man and so i think its kind of wrong..
Cause rihanna sings this song about two girls and "then she put her hand around my waist" i think this sentence is made for a woman and not for am man, isnt ;D
@Nina27031996 yeah you're right...he sings this song from a man's perspective and he's pushing away a woman, while she adds a 'bi-curious' type flavor to it, but in the end shes pushing away the other woman too.
dude! dude! I love this version so much better!! i love Rihanna's too but ohmyjesus!! I CAN RELATE TO THIS ONE!! i LOVE it!! oh God I'm crying hahah!! lol
Rihanna makes it so stupid, cauz she sings it wrong and she a girl, so she have to make he.. from the she xd bud than it becomes a shemale xd? fuckit..
LOVE THIS SONG SINCE THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT I CANT GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD! AS A TRIBUTE I HAVE DONE A COVER OF TE AMO @ youtube/scottcmusic CHECK IT OUT APPRECIATE IT: )
i heard rihanna's version of ths song first, and i liked her version more when i first heard it, but now i'm starting to change my mind, i think ths person definitely sings it better... :) .. not to be picky or anything.. lol... but at 0:47 ... does he really say 'My soul is Crying' ? to me, it sounds more he like he says 'My soul Hears her Cry', but i duno, i might be wrong... :)
@musaikaa I agree. It sounds more like "my soul hears her cry without asking why" than "my soul is crying without asking why." In the second case, he'd have to be saying "my soul is a-crying, without asking why" for it to fit the rhythm there...
But wow. I really like this version. I mean, I like Rihanna's too, don't get me wrong. Her voice is incredibly smooth when she covers this song. But this one is really amazing. I can feel his doubt.
@musaikaa after reading your comment and listening to 0.47 several times lol. i agree. it then make sense as to why he says "with out asking why, i said te amo". its to comfort her. makes alot more sense but every lyric look up iv done apparently it does say my soul is crying. :(
I don't think it's more right. I thought it was about a homosexual or bi girl saying it to Rihanna. And I prefer his voice, but the back of the song is better in her version. Love both.
This is much better than Rihanna's, I swear. I ♥ it. It's sad, yet so beautiful... It almost makes me cry, xD. I like Jame's voice better for this song.
BTW, Te amo can be either portuguese, latin spanish or spanish.
uhh whatever, rihanna's version rocks! and it adds something different when a girl sings it. It could mean many different things, that's what she's trying to tell us, personally i think she's speaking from a man's point of view. I lovee it!! =D rihanna foreverr!!! James is good aswell but Rihanna is amaaazinn' ! (Y)
I read that he wrote this song for rihanna and the whole concept is about a girl telling her girlfriend that she loves her but shes not a lesbian.....but i could be wrong...you cant always trust the internet...
yeaahh this song of james is much better than that of rihanna she is a good singer butt she stolles some ones song and i think that a singer most dont do that thats really pathefic......
Nah, the one with Rihanna sounds better because she puts a lot of emotions in it. Rihanna's not a lesbian, but it's a nice song. The lyrics are beautiful and the beat is nice. It doesn't matter girl or guy. The message was clear. That person is not the one he/she loves, but they understand their pain.
Rihanna's and James Fauntleroy's version...
both full of beauty and pride!!!!
...in other words beautiful!
