[allamericanglamour]

Oh! IDK how anyone can focus on the fact that a couple of words were out of place.....EXCUSE ME SIR/MAM (whoeveryouare), but he could have misplaced all the damn words, and scrambled them like puzzle pieces and it still would have been the best song of the world! I know damn well Ms. Erykah and Mr. Outkast are very proud! And then you have the nerve to make the mp3 available for download....Mr Durand, I think I'm in love with you! God is all through you boy....STAY BLESSED!

[butterfliesblue1]

Watching your videos is like watching a baby develop. You just seem to progress more and more without looking for validation. I've been watching you for the past 3 years & like to see your consistency. Keep up the good work :-)

[trbj21]

I had to share this with my facebook friends/family.SMDH!

[isis919191]

SANG BWOI!

[cjadepr]

Tell Erykah to bring your ass to Dallas!!!!I NEED to see you LIVE with a LIVE Band!!!!!That would give me so much LIFE!!!!!!!!!!

[TheMsPapaya]

YASSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

[DiveerseAF]

I would quickly and gladly take singing lessons from you, if you offered them...

[devinlaw4]

Bitch u betta shit on em' !!!!!!!!

[nicegluefive5]

Durand has been on tour with Erykah, actually been her presence for a long period of time. experience many live performances with Erykah on STAGE. I'm sure he's heard this song alot... and he got the words wrong...

[LettucePreyyy]

@nicegluefive5 Ok sis. The fact that I got TWO words wrong on a part of a song that I didn't even HAVE to sing WHILE on TOUR with ERYKAH BADU completely disregards the entire video. and of course when Erykah told me how beautiful it was, I'm SURE she's on your side about the lyrics being ALL wrong and secretly hated it. Mmkay? It's YO world, boo. Now go back to your throne and sit next to God since he's CLEARLY on YOUR left.

[luvaboy8020]

Talent anyone

[makeyda]

you did your thing on this track! I wanna be just like you when I grow! LOL! Love it :)

[lilnette1]

You hit that one note so good that I didn't hear it but I know you definitely killed that note just by your face expression.

[ShebeLyrik]

Downloaded this about 15 seconds after he posted it. I'm such a rand stan

[1992ksmith]

REALLY BRO??? hahaaaa u juss killed that...

[99grandprix17]

Gave me life. Where is your CD at? Hurry it up!!!! My ears need this wonderfulness!

[PrincessJlo421]

[jcampbell00]

YAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!! 

[SirBlack410]

yeeees u told this story i love it!

[misstaylorbabi]

Musical Genius!!!!! Always got me excited! LOVE U

IT!!!!

[ThaNuMe331]

bOY IM AT WORK BOUT TO THROW THIS WATER BOTTLE AT MY COMPUTER SCREEN !!!!U BETTA SANG !

[abe7598]

AMAZING as always!!!!!!!

[Yanna22071]

If you don't stop giving me vocal orgasms, boy!!!! You betta hit that Mariah Carey, scream at the top of yo lungs like you on a roller coaster ride at Six Flags that just hit a tripple loopty loop, spin and twirl ass note! Loved it! ..... Everything about it!!!!

[alcoholharmony]

@pinkybooblue I did that already. Check the links in the description box @ Medifire.

[RellBaby89]

EVERY SUCCESSFUL PERSON GOT A HATER CLUB...GET OFF HIM. HE HAS TALENT. AND JUST BECAUSE HE NOT SINGING ABOUT WHAT THESE TYPICAL PEOPLE THESE DAY SING ABOUT WHICH IS MONEY CARS CLOTHES AND SEX DON'T MEAN HE CAN'T SING. REMOVE YOURSELVES FROM HIS SCROTUM

[TammyDavis101101]

@the44118 y u always have sum negative???? U must dont have a life to constanly look for his vids to tlk ....smh ugh ima say it for him go straight to hell! That it all

[fgs317]

@nicegluefive5 coming from a true Erykah fan he knew what he was doing when he mixed the three verses, that's art... PURE GENIUS!

[nicegluefive5]

@fgs317 coming from a true Erykah fan he got the words mixed up (by mistake) ... and thats fine I guess. Erykah messes up all the time live, but thats apart of the live experience

[LettucePreyyy]

@nicegluefive5 But the lyrics weren't ALL wrong. Every time she does this medley, the lyrics are different and yet, I'd like to see you critique her and how she puts the words...

[nicegluefive5]

@LettucePreyyy all i know is the crook stream and rain flow and the wind blows...

[LettucePreyyy]

@nicegluefive5 There were two words misplaced on two stanzas back to back and that was it. To comment ans say "Lyrics are all wrong" is petty. I could see if the song was ruined because of that, but it's not that deep. Stop looking for invalid reason to be negative and enjoy the music. Sheesh.

[nicegluefive5]

@LettucePreyyy dudes been on tour with Erykah... shouldn't be getting lyrics wrong...

[xXlReleaselXx]

@nicegluefive5 You do know that you are talking to him?

[kimloveshim911]

@nicegluefive5 You Bored Aint You?

[alcoholharmony]

@kimloveshim911 He's incredibly bored. lol. Especially when it doesn't concern the background singers because we don't even sing those verses except for "That's Life" and "Liberation". #Dumbass

[kimloveshim911]

@alcoholharmony Lmboo

[allamericanglamour]

@nicegluefive5 Oh! IDK how anyone can focus on the fact that a couple of words were out of place.....EXCUSE ME SIR/MAM (whoeveryouare), but he could have misplaced all the damn words, and scrambled them like puzzle pieces and it still would have been the best song of the world! I know damn well Ms. Erykah and Mr. Outkast are very proud! And then you have the nerve to make the mp3 available for download....Mr Durand, I think I'm in love with you! God is all through you boy....STAY BLESSED!

[nicegluefive5]

lyrics all wrong...

[nicegluefive5]

*just like the wind the breeze that blows.

[L3KTRiCMusic]
