Everyone going on about how they are surprised by how well he can sing obviously never heard his very first single which was much slower than the pop songs he makes now. And stop calling him a rapper. He's an RnB singer. 2012 and people still dont know the difference! The stupid pop songs with Kesha etc are really to do with record labels who want to top ten hits. The artist is merely an employee who does what the boss wants. Proper RnB and non of that auto tune = no radio spins = no sales.
I love Coldplay, and this is one of my favorite songs by them, if not my favorite ever. And I've gotta say, he did it justice. Great job Taio!... now, stop doing pop duets with Ke$ha and make some real music!!
it's not that he chose rap/dance music it's just because club music is really popular at the moment and i'm guessing he had to kind of evolve or change his own genre to fit into the mainstream, considering his first song was more like slow RnB
i hate when artists, like this man, have an amazing voice and choose the wrong music genre, he chose hip hop/rap whatever when obviously he should be doing this stuff...damn!!
why do pop singers autotune themselves when they can pull off such a good vocal cover? -.- its so annoying, music could be so much better if singers just sung
same as another comment...thought he was gonna be shit with this and the adelle cover...but i stand corrected...like the man in the orthepedic shoe!!!
I LOVE THIS! I love some of Taio's music but I can't stand most of it, it's too auto-tuned. This is one of my favourite songs of all time and I just LOVE his version of it, can't stop listening! Any idea where the full version is? :( Hate it when it cuts off at the end
@halo360ism alright "halo360ism" if you can keep the hater comments to yourself until you can show us your amazing musical voice, everyones a fucking superstar these days hey. right now you just look like a massive tool hating on someone who clearly has shitloads of vocal talent and is making a mint out of it and here you are with a geekyass name cruising videos on youtube putting up salty comments
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL vocals. Clarity, passion, He's definitely made the song his own here. I'm not a music expert AT ALL but the chords on the piano sound off. (I think that there's too many "Minor keys" for my taste). I've heard that sort of treatment in R&B stuff but I don't think it works for me.

i think this is more of by taio, he tries to hard to be mainstream with his hit rock/pop songs, that become really commercial, he has a strong voice which sounds amazing here, not doubting his other songs as a fan i wouldn't but he needs more slowish soul like songs ! (in my opinion)
@FrancieMilligan dude i could not agree more the guy is so underrated its a f***ing crime. i always get annoyed when he brings out another club dance song i wish he made another album like departure but better!!
my my,what a voice,i knew this was just going to be fantastic at the first note that i heard,chris martin only wishes he could sing his own song like this,in his wildest dreams. i am just struck in awsome wonder ,god bless you,and keep up the good work my friend may you have a long succesful musical career ,you truly deserve it.
nice cover, really nice voice! my friend and i just did an acoustic ambient cover of "yellow", so do check it out at our channel. we'd appreciate any constructive feedback, and we hope you'd enjoy listening to it as much as we have our fun playing it! Peace to all :D
Record labels only care about image. They made Taio into a bubblegum pop star ignoring the fact that he actually has songwriting and singing talent. Hopefully he can release a side project though. Fingers crossed.
I dont understand why he doesn't come out with a REAL song where you can hear his voice....cause its beautiful-I had no idea this was under the autotune and obnoxious backbeats. I hope one day people do hear THIS voice on the radio
@TheDundiewinner I agree, but that's what happens when people sell out. They become slaves to their music label and are forced to do the most ridiculous things for fame
