[koolaid261]

[soni2crazy]

i knw das rite bitch...lmao

[lilmarque1]

lol preach!

[StarofVA]

I know people who can't sing but have the ear and can damn sure point you in the direction of the correct way to go about it.(and can sometimes pull the examples off with an A) Its something to be singing a song and while doing so hear an extra piece of life thats waiting to burst out and be able to completely FOLLOW THROUGH!

[StarofVA]

If you can't riff and run, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE EAR! YES chile you can sing, but in all actuality you would be better singing whats handed to you than making the song your OWN!

[KHSladyBALLA07]

2:43! You always gotta throw some comedy in there. But this is real! You are very well spoken.

[iheartzpb3]

this is str8 real talk! people dont want ur opinion, they only want u to agree with them.

[iheartzpb3]

Watched the other vid by alotaboutus-I look at American Idol and there is a reason why they have to go through so many folks because someone boosted them up. I don't think there is anything wrong with letting people know what their strenghts and weaknesses are. A singer is different from an artist. That is why genres exist because different people respond/like or dislike things differently its all about preferences. Limitations do exist and to not acknowledge that is not being honest.

[JuSRaNDuMz]

How u doin???...lol...ur slow lol

[dertondean]

You B U...U R fine! Haters hate, thus the title haters. Uh-hummmm...lol

[FlyJayCeezy]

LOL, too funny when you turned on the booty shakin' music, went into "DiVa MoDe", and said "...you cannot will not have your cake ,eat it too ,host a party and be the DJ -MAKE UP YOUR MIND!" Love your videos when I need a good laugh...not meant to insult ya or make fun, I don't want ya to put me in my place ;) lol

[Chinaija]

how you doin?

lol

[kaylaluvzchrisbrown]

as soon as i saw the glasses i said AMEN ! YHU BETTA TELL iT BOY !

[ZoeyAbena08]

lol, well SNAP, CRACKLE AND POP!!, that was tooooo funny...great music by the way..ive learned a lot of times folks be sitting behind these screens, drunk or high as hell getting stuff twisted...dont let make you wild out..you going place...someone mentioned you on their page thats how i found you..keep up the good work youngin..lol

Peace and Blessings Zoe

[KATIEMILLZ11]

i'm with you.. you have the right to express yourself.. so do so if people don't want to hear it.. hahaha it is as simple as not listening.. and last but not least i were told i could cant or wont do or be able to do something that would push me to work harder to do what i want... and if it was ment to be it would happen if not i would eventually be brought into my reality then again everybody sees things different and has different taste you know stay up i got you... much love peace and respect

[forbilive]

book closed!

[Marktavious1]

I agree with you. I think people need to understand their own talent..not everyone is a vocalist..some ppl are performers..PERFORMING is a TALENT..if someone tells me im not a strong vocalist i don get offended..I know where I stand vocally..but if someone tells me im not a good performer, im more likely to be offended..so0 people need to UNDERSTAND what their talent IS..

[starstatusballin]

gosh i love you!!...like im so serious...can u respond to me...i would like to ask your questions and stuff...not about me just random..

[lilmizzni]

TELL 'EM DURAND

[conheffner]

[lovett1989]

YOU went INNNNNNNN!!! I lo0ve you! people need more Simon C's in this world cause your right singing isn't for everybody! But when that music came in BEST,,,,AHHH I was like......mmmm

[Rumor88]

ugh!I just want to know if you have heard/seen Karina Pasian's cover of "Halo"? she gave me everything I needed x10.I love that song...now

[alcoholharmony]

I did.

She was getting a little out of pocket towards the end, but regardless, that tramp got pipes and I love her.

She reminds me of Lange, Jr.

[AkeemJamalRollins]

can i sing??

[alcoholharmony]

Now you know you give me my life, Keem.

Boy Boom!

[AkeemJamalRollins]

You still...I'm not even gonna get into this.

[brownsugerkiss]

I luv you!!!!!! Tell them how it is!

[bluscorpion]

Oooh, boi they came for you, and not in a good way. I think people need to realize this is partly for entertainment purposes. I was thoroughly amused by the quips in the videos, and I had a great time. And I might be one of those people who can sing sometimes, but I still do musicals and I sing when I want to. People do what they want- if they really want to be singers, someone telling them they suck won't stop em.

[ConverseNSkinnyJeanz]

durand u really dont have to explain yourself to anyone let the hatrs talk u keep doin u

[Aijuswanasing]

[snickers251]

LOL..well alrighty then..nicely said!

[JustJordanTV]

i love how you tell the tuth.... some people who took the video count? *B'Day Stare* have too much time on his/her hand.

reality. you have an opinion. we all are entitled to it but to debate how you feel because someone doesn't like it...??

SMH.

They tried it.

[alcoholharmony]

Tried it... and failed.

[JustJordanTV]

I saw the video and was like wait.... are you serious? someo people clearly miss what self entitled OPINION is all about....

I still can't get over folks who "timed" your video to make comments.

*B'DAY DELUXE EDITION STARE*

[SongstreZZ89]

honestly i love your voice... but this makes you seem like a jerk....

[crazyrj14]

well i understand your opinion.

but i dont get it

1.he is speaking his mind

2.being honest

3.standing for his feelings

how in any kind of way does that make him a "jerk"

[SongstreZZ89]

o sorry bout the misunderstanding.. i wasnt calling him a jerk... i agree with him 100%... i was in a rush and coulnt write all i wanted to... he is ssooo right but he is sssoo blunt a lot of ppl cant handle that... and he does come off jerkish to those who cant handle him... i wasnt saying he was tho... sorry for the confusion

[crazyrj14]

oh its all good i understand :D.

[vincentgirl08]

[ObamaBeatsAll]

GO OFF!

[ObamaBeatsAll]

u kno he is serious wen he put on the glasses!!

[askar4kill]

Singing is something people enjoy doing. It is and always has been one of the worldly pleasures of life. Telling people to indirectly stop singing is what your saying. Let them sing until their lungs and vocal chords burst. In the end, if they aint gona become record artists are they?

[Sk8tergoon]

speak ON IT! whew some of these youtube singers CANNOT SING!

*yellow is my favorite color u be representing*

[crazyrj14]

i felt nothing but realness durand.

and most of the people that gave you negative comments are OBVIOUSLY ignorant in understanding your words.

But you put yourself out there like a mature person.

~RESECTUH~

[TaureanRuler]

lol u go head... tell them to "Come Correct" cause its ur opinion...freedom of speech..plus ur trying to help in a way :)

omqee durand you don showed off...howyudoin?

[SandCastleDiscoDiva]

I think you are absolutely fabolous darling.This is the reason why the essence of music is totally and completely GONE. The reason why hip hop is dead, and r&b is not relevant.Why have a jim jones when you can have a drake? why have a Amerie when you can have a Tamia? why have a ciara when you can have a teedra moses? r we really gonna limit ourselves, just because a person is unique or do we deserve greatness?? Durand your amazing. Freedom of speech = AlcoholHarmony

[alcoholharmony]

*GIVES STANDING OVATION*

[Fattakink]

[alcoholharmony]

YEEESSSSSS!!!!

I love you!

[iwant2cthatass]

[meridiankidd2008]

The reason why some people getting mad is because they know its true. People don't realize that this is someone's opinion. If u didn't like it IGNORE IT! Its sad... people listen way too hard.

[Woo88]

1:34-1:38...Can you give me an example please?

1:48...I LOVEEEEEE how your character changed. Lol. The music perfected it... I was over here gettin hype!

2:25-2:36...That is one of the most annoying things about being a counselor. When you put people on blast about them already having their minds made up...they deny it!! They say, "Oh I don't have my mind made up", when I clearly know they do & they ALWAYS do the thing that they said they wouldn't.

P.S... Are you sick sweetie?

[xxLiLWaynexxMileyxx]

if hes not sick (which idk :P )

dry

[alcoholharmony]

For your question, Esther Phillips, Big Maybelle, Phyllis Hyman, J*DaVeY, Little Dragon and the list goes on...

[Sorrytodisappointyou]

I agree with you. If people come to you for honest advice, its your obligation to give them the honest truth.

[sarkazzII]

awesome...

[JustJordanTV]

tell the dang truth Durand.....

[monaeeeTV]

Calm down. It wasnt that serious dude.
