  • He is smooth- go head Javier

  • Need more R & B like this. The kind that compliments, and tells how you feel about someone, when they call your name.....

  • I LOVE this song and this video. Javier did his thing. This song make you think of someone that you go crazy for, when they acknowledge you.....

  • Omg this song here!!

  • This dude is underrated. SMDH

  • I was looking for this song long time ago I used to watch this video on VH1 Soul all the time!!!

  • man i remember watching this on vh1 soul all the time!!! good times good music

  • j'aime ;-) <3

  • this has been my fave since its debut in 2k3. Javier--- he's the man. :)

  • I love this song I fell in love with this as soon as I heard it. This is when R&B stop being great no actually in 2004.

  • @lpc0615 Me too. I remember when this song first came out. I was in love with it and had been waiting for another album.

  • THE VOICE..... JAVIER!!!

  • Javier since 2003 you made me dancing without stop. Please, don't stop the music ^^

  • I totally agree. I heard this song for the first time on the radio and loved it!!

    It's still one of my favorite. He can blow!!

  • i heard tis songs since i was in high school... he is the talent

  • Wow I love dis song

  • one of the greatest songs of 2003 !

  • OMG I love his voice !!

  • excuse me while i melt into a puddle on the floor...........3>

  • Man this song takes me back when I was so head over heels over a guy. This was my theme song at the time

  • how could he have competed on The Voice if he was already a professional??

  • @makinmesmile96 i'd like to know hat too. doesn't seem fair

  • @makinmesmile96 he was dropped from his label, no longer making him a signed pro...

  • IM SO HAPPY HE WON! ITS A RARE BLESSING TO GET AN AMAZING SECOND CHANCE LIKE THIS!!!!!!! CANT WAIT TIL HIS ALBUM COMES OUT!

  • Congrats on winning the "voice"...hope he blows up....amazing ole skool voice and easy of the eyes!!!!!

  • this cat has been doing his thing for a number of years.i am not a big fan of shows such as American Idol and shows like it but I have to say the voice got it right this time.I really hope he has a fruitful career this time around.two thumbs up.

  • WE HAVE ANOTHER MARC ANTHONY. MAY GOD BLESS HIM, HE IS GREAT!!!

    EUGENE AYALA

  • Obviously if you didn't remember him then, you probably won't in 10 more years...Javier who???? Javier what???

  • @BNGlory your an ass man u know talent when u here it yet your ready to give credit to justin bieber or rebbeca black people that don't have the same talent

  • love this song he has an amazing voice!

  • How did this guy get dropped and Beyonce can put out CRAP song after crap song and put out record after record? Just saying.

  • @dpc1994 I wondered the same thing! I hope he makes it big now and Capitol records eats it.

  • @dpc1994 Why are you comparing him to Beyonce?

  • @cbnboy34 Because for every decent song Beyonce puts out, there's about ten crap tracks on her albums. Not hating on Beyonce, but too much of her music sounds like cheerleader routines. And she's better than that. Javier is about real music. If Beyonce would do that, she'd sell even more records than she does now. As good as she is, I think she can be even better.

  • Wonder if he gets paid for the downloading I just did if the label dropped him! As much as I have always loved his music o will be damned if I support that very silly label!

  • i still wonder why you're not around that much....you're good man!no you're voice is great and ur cute too..

  • i still wonder why you're not around that much....you're good man!no you're voice is great and ur cute too..

  • It's not about the talent. I been watching this guy forever. It's about supporting good music and good vocals not the bullshit! Buy this album and support this talent.

  • I loved this song when it came out. He's amazing and I'm glad he won "The Voice". It's about someone that has talent and has been underrated for a LOOOONG time get's recognition.

  • I remember this song. I loved it then and still do.

  • You go Javier, they really slept on you, but that's ok, they finally woke up!!!!!!

  • omg....amazing

  • Javier is such a great singer.After hearing him sing i ask my self WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD. We see ppl that can't sing on tv making millions and he is wasting away. THANKS TO THE VOICE you saved him.

  • this song is the cutest - no lie

  • SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! TEAM JAVIER!!! From the get go this was my guy. I remembered his name, his voice and knew he did this song...How did he get looked over when he put this out? Outstanding Job... :)- Can't wait to hear and see what you do next. :)-

  • Finally!!!

  • @MikeStone05: You are so right!!!

  • Javier was so slept on....so underrated! Well...not after tonight.

  • HE WON!! JAVIER IS THE VOICE!!

  • Been a fan of Javier's music since this song came out. Capitol Records really screwed up when they let him go. Love this song!...and he IS the voice (in my opinion). Thumbs up if you think so.

  • @MikeStone05 ... I agree wholeheartedly with u on that!!! I was crossin my fingers as soon as I seen him on the show.... Nice voice n a great artist!!!!

  • i remember this song from i was younger !

    he was really good looking back in the day

  • The 'Colon' threw me off but I finally realized this is the same Javier whose "Crazy" single I played on repeat for 2 mos straight years back. I mourned his presence, wondered what happened, and why the best artists are often one hit wonders. So glad to see you on the VOICE.

  • Ohh myy goshhh I JUST realized that it's the SAME JAVIER! Before that I was thinking, seems like the same person, but it's ACTUALLY the same person. I love this song, was my go-to song back in the dayyyssss. I hope he wins The Voice!

  • i found this cause i typed in jxzdgvyr

  • This is one of my all time favorite songs, has been for quite a while now. The first time I saw "The Voice," I thought one of the contestants looked similar to this Javier, and it just so happened that his name was Javier too! Only to come to realize that THIS IS THE SAME GUY!

    WTF? He's way too talented for that show!

  • he is so great and he will win THE VOICE hands down. and i love this song

  • he is so great and he will win THE VOICE hands down

  • This dude is on the show "The Voice". I have this album and it was good and he released another but was dropped by his label. when I saw him on the show I kept saying e looks like the singer Javier and it actually was him. Hopefully, he will get what is due him this time.

  • Oooh a lefty like me, awesome!! he's the total pkg, a true musician!

  • dayum.... dayum dayum is all i can say.... Welcome back Javier!

  • TEAM JAVIER here!!! I was around his first go around with this song. I don't know how he was ever looked over. He is awesome. I agree with what someone else said...sing this on "The Voice" Finale. He would blow the roof off the auditorium...:)-

  • I'm with the rest of you guys and gals, his cd was beyond good i loved all the songs like poetry and beautiful u r. This definitely should have been a HUGE box office hit single...i just dont understand how they didn't promote this song and javier enough. I'm surprised he's on The Voice and deserves to be there but at the same time he's better than having to compete on a stupid show

  • man he really should perform this song on The Voice and give the recording company that cancelled his deal a very big middle finger

  • WHY IN THE HECK WOULD THEY CANCEL HIS RECORD DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at least now hes on the the voice because hes so good he deseres to be a WINNER!!!!!!

  • Man!! Who knew!?!?!? Much love for this brothers music since the conception of his first album!! "The Voice".

  • Man when i seen him on the voice i was like what song did he sing that i really liked and this was it

  • at first it didn't click to me that he was on the voice until they mentioned singles that didnt work... tho i loved this single... crazy how a few of their final 8 all have the same type of not enough label support type story... so many unique voices that get passed over for what are viewed as better packages...

  • Even Stevie Wonder could see that he himself was the inspiration for this guy! Nicely done Javier!

  • THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME?

  • i remember when this song came out and when i saw him on the voice and they said his name and i looked at him i was like AHHHHHHHH! JAVIER! lmao! i KNO i wasnt the only person who had this song pop in their head!!!

    btw: he's KILLIN it!

  • Man, I had this dude's first AND second album before "The Voice" was even a show.

    BTW, I really hate the fact that he knows how to play the guitar, but he's pretty much just using it as a prop in this video.

  • Now I remember this song! It was a while back. Hey when the biz knocks you down just get back up dust yourself off and try again (Aaliyah).

  • kind of upset everyone just knows him because of The Voice. i was playing his music when he first made it.

  • @darktwistedfantasy17 ME TOO! I have been a HUGE fan of his for like 6 years! He lives in my state, so I heard about him visiting the mall in my town and my sister met him years ago!

  • @Tostarelli he's from my state too! lol

  • Comment removed

  • Okayy i knew it! I knew this guy from the voice had a record out! Used to love this song. But why is on the Voice if he's had an album out :S ??

  • @brownsuga91 Because the music industry is notorious for putting the machine behind what they know they can sell instead of what's actually good. Blame the consumers for not demanding, seeking out, and buying quality music and falling for the okey-doke that radio and record labels sell them. Hopefully, he'll get his due from his appearance on The Voice. I've been a fan for years and wondered why we hadn't heard more from him.

  • @Zion1908 yea, i used to wonder the same too, like whatever happened to this Javier guy? hard 2 believe this neo-soul guy could also do pop ballads. he has a very diverse, but special sound :)

  • @Zion1908 well said.

  • @brownsuga91 That's what I was saying it's almost like an unfair advantage because he has the training and he already had an album out...I wonder if they know that

  • @brownsuga91 cuz the idiots dropped him fromt he label. it happened to him twice :(

  • Javier - I want to have your babies and sex your talent right up.

  • On the voice its gonna come down to Dia from Blake's, Beverly from Christina's, Nakia from Cee Lo's, and JAVIER!!!! from Adam's.

  • @luverbirds12 - I TOTALLY AGREE!

  • Javier blows the PANTS off Bieber, Cyrus etc! I vote Javier #! and little Xenia #2

  • @baloosey thats my exact vote too!

  • I recognized him from the show the voice. He has a very beautiful voice..

  • SO GOOD :))))

  • He's a leftie! Am I the only one who noticed it??? :D

  • @ARandomAccountForMe nope cuz I was trying to follow his hands on the live version to learn the song. Thats when it dawned on me our headstocks are pointing the same direction. great stuff really.

  • @ARandomAccountForMe yay 4 lefties, i'm one too lol lefties tend to be more creative & musical :)

  • javier, can i marry your voice??!! XD

  • This is like my fhavee song! and he kinda cute......

  • He still sound soo good on NBC's The Voice...I knew I recognized him from somewhere, lol...This was my fav song of his back in '03. I agree, Im shocked he wasnt a big time star, Capital Records must have done him wrong...

  • Both this artist and this song were VERY MUCH slept on... So sad that he didn't get the credit he deserved.

  • i meant his day is sooner rather then later LOL

  • dude if it werent for The Voice i wouldn't have remembered his name. Everytime i type "crazy" that knarls Barkley song comes up LOL He's a legend. He day is sooner rathe rthen later!

  • Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, REBECCA BLACK... why the hell isn't he a big star yet? This is ridiculous. Thumbs up if you're gonna vote for him on the voice like a million times.

  • @LilBas95 im recruiting my co-workers plus my own million

  • @LilBas95 There are voices of people who FEEL the music.... and then there are people who have a GIMMICK.... This boy has a FANTASTIC presentation of his music.... You havesomething common and ordinary you can sell....and then you have something that is the REAL THING... And here he is............

  • I thought that was him on The Voice. I have his first CD. Love it!

  • Dammit ARIEPOOHS18 beat me to making that comment. Dammit. lol knew about javier wayyyyyyy before anyone too!

  • I love this song....dont really find it fair how your already a singer, but yet you were on that shoe the VOICE tonight and beat a struggling artist.

  • I don't why he on the voice if he already had a record deal but oh well it's not American Idol

  • what the fuck have you got a guitar for you loser?

  • Lawd, this dude is IT. I've been following him for the last 8 years, completely disappointed with the lack of exposure he's recieved. I always make a point to tell people about him, esp the debut album, and its funny to have these same people come back and say HEY! Isnt that the same Javier you told me about?? LoL

  • @JustaSoulchild you should get a life!!!

  • @JustaSoulchild same here. Ditto on everything you said in your comment. LOL

  • @JustaSoulchild I know right? this guy just dropped off the face of earth mid 2000s then is now back in the limelight. Which is great.

  • @JustaSoulchild a true fan u are! When Crazy came out i loved it, but he disappeared, i didn't even know where 2 find him. These damn record labels smh...

  • the chorus of this song sounds alot like Glenn Lewis' "dont you forget it"

    love both songs though... :)

  • @bluesixxx734 yea thats true i was just listening to that and thats what brought me here.

  • @bluesixxx734 I was JUST thinking that. I actually searched "javier don't you forget it" and this came up. LOL!!!

  • My lady friend was telling me about Javier on the Voice and I told her that guy was with Capitol Records and has released a total of 4 albums. She thought I was lying until I pulled out the CDs. He clearly has been the most talented person on that show so far and if he doesn't win, somethings wrong. He wasn't nervous and has great range. Half the people on that show were professional singers at some point. Many of them have been backup singers and that's as far as the ones over 30 will go.

  • Watching the second episode of the Voice and swore that it was Javier singing Time After Time. I love his debut album. 

  • I guess the voice really is equal opportunity. Maybe glenn lewis will pop up next.

  • @FEETMAN83 Good point!!

  • @BlaQWuhMyn haha yea I did know it was him I'm just really cautious about saying "oo thats so-and-so"...I have his CD from my college days, lol....good music..used to be him and Kenny Lattimore till I fall asleep...listen to this by him.."Ok here's the Turth" ..might make you shudder

  • @FEETMAN83 - Glenn is about to release a new album soon. He has a song out now called Good Love (I think) but of course, as usual, it's getting limited plays. Cause you know, we all want to hear to the same BS OVER AND OVER AND OVER (NOTTTTT!!! LoL) I'm looking forward to the new stuff for sure.

  • he so cute

  • I love his music... but dont understand why he's on The voice

  • I totally remember this song but didn't put two and two together when I saw him on The Voice! Why is hasn't any good producers pick him up yet? He's got a great voice!

  • I was like naw that ain't him till the end of the show when they said his name. This was my joint strait up had to youtube this song. I can't believe he was on the voice. You can't stop doing what you was born to do..

  • He was absolutely gorgeous back in the day and he is still amazingly gorgeous now! I remember jamming to this song in the car literally EVERY TIME I got in it...haha. So glad Javier is back!!!!!

  • This guy is the real deal! He's definitely going places!

  • I used to listen to this song every single day when it first came out. I wish he could've been bigger than he was.

  • I know this song by heart. I sing it well too, acapella. His voice is amazing. HE must have gotten blackballed or something. His talent has gone almost unnoticed for too long.

  • Comment removed

  • Big fan of him from way way back. Use to sing his songs.

  • Holy crap, I totally remember him now. I forgot all about this video. Wow, I must have been 10 or 11 when this song was out. Man time flies. What's he doing on The Voice? He should be huge by now. It's a shame how the music industry works.

  • It's crazy cuz I bet Carson Daley remembers introducing this video on TRL lol

  • @Mrken2786 Was he ever on MTV? I first became familiar with him when I saw his video on BET late one night.

  • @sooneresk yea i coulda sworn i only seen him on bet when they used show midnight love

  • Comment removed

  • I'm really excited that he's getting a second chance. I was a big fan of his first album back in college, and, maybe because they played it a lot more in LA, I thought it was a bigger hit than what it was. Regardless, the moment he started singing I knew exactly who he was - a brilliant musician who the world needs to embrace!

  • i want to know what happened to this guy in the last 5 years. I had this on repeat when it came out. fame got to his head??

  • i love this song and was wondering what happened to him... watching The Voice scratching my head, thinking this guy looks familiar and BAM! he mustve disappeared for awhile to build a family.. hope he get another big break!! he deserves it! xo

  • I KNEW THAT WAS HIM!!!!!! IF HE HAS ALREADY MADE IT... WHY IS HE ON THE VOICE?

  • I told my husband that he freakishly reminded me of this artist named Javier who I used to listen to but hadn't released a recent album. Crazy!! I knew I had heard this voice before!

  • I knew that was him when I saw it! I loved this song I hope he does well

  • I knew that was him when I saw it! I loved this song I hope he does well

  • Well I hope he wins the Voice!! He's great!

  • How could we allow such good music like this to get away???

  • I totally forgot about this song until I recently saw it on tv. I can't believe this came out in 2003. Saying that sounds like it was so long ago. This guy should be big by now.

  • wait a minute, I know this guy

  • ....seems like I wasn't the only one who recognized him. This song is absolutely awesome and his talent is equally as awesome. I can't see anyone else giving him a run for his money..... I agree....he will be "the Voice"

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU LIKE THE VOICE BETTER THAN AMERICAN IDOL LOL

  • Loved this song...I always wanted to hear more from Javier. I hope he goes all the way through on The Voice!

  • I knew I recognized him when I saw him on The Voice last night. I hope he goes all the way 'cause that dude is blessed with talent.

  • I remember seeing this on BET LOL now he's on THE VOICE!!! Never give up!!!

  • @KevinRyanBFLY I knew that was him!

  • I knew it! I was like isn't this the same Javier? ...its done! Javier is taking it. The voice has its winner.

  • I really hope he wins "The Voice".... I liked him before and I am glad he is getting the opportunity to showcase his talents in a way that he can truly benefit from.... He is not just a singer, he is clearly an artist.... guitar and all... and even if he does not win I am confident he will go far after this exposure.... WTG Javier and I look forward to seeing even more of you in the future.

  • wow, my friend informed me that he had a song out before auditioning for the Voice. cool

  • I bought this cats album back in 2003, can't believe he never blew up! Hope he wins The Voice!

  • Knew about Javier for a long time before the Voice, its a shame he's not BIG! His song In Your Hands was my wedding song in 2001. Hope he wins!

  • Knew about Javier for a long time before the Voice, its a shame he's not BIG! His song In Your Hands was my wedding song in 2001. Hope he wins!

  • Does anyone know the name of the model at the end of the video sitting on the couch while Javier serenades her?

  • @Joeychannelzero ... i said the SAME exact thing the other day when I sae the commercial. but hey, at least he's getting real exposure!!!

  • It's a shame Javier never went anywhere after this... I totally followed his career after being introduced to this song way back when.... Kinda sucks he resorted to being a contestant, but no doubt "TheVoice" will excel his career, now!

  • @JoeyChannelZero You and me both man. This performance put me onto his music and his voice. He's been one of my favorite singers since.

  • I thought I recognized his face from somewhere! This was my favorite song back in college.. I hope he makes it far on The Voice!

  • how is it that Cee-Lo didn't recognize Javier who is an established artist but recognized Frenchie who was only publicly recognized 4 being disqualified 4rm idol...wth???

  • @ariesangel3 that's weird,i recognized Frenchie right away too... odd odd odd...

  • I was wondering what happened to this guy, then I saw him on The Voice tonight!

  • So that was him on the voice!! Huh, the dead has come back to life!! Good to see him again!!

  • Man I sooo knew I seen him before tonight yet I couldn't put my fingue on it, but this is it, I wonder where he had gone, I loved this song back in the day... that is so great to see him trying to come back

  • I can't believe Javier was on The Voice tonight. My sister and I were arguing over whether or not that was him, hilarious. Google magic settled the argument. I used to LOVE him, and then he fell off the map. Good to see him back on TV; I just hate to see that he has to resort to a singing competition. His talent is so much bigger than that.

  • @jacquelined1385 THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING! I had to look him up on youtube to confirm. One: how can he be on an amateur competition when he's put out an album? Two: that show was so wack! Saw the tail end and still kinda confused at the premise.

  • @jacquelined1385 Shows how ass-backwards the music industry is. Brian McKnight & Javier, IMO, have the 2 best male voices, but for some reason Javier has not broken through.

  • @2npac & @jacquelined1385 Agreed.

  • Anyone who listened to his second album would know why his career fell.. He started deviating from who he is was an artist.. And poor writing. Immaculate voice though.. He has that Eric Benet type of clarity
