ryan tedder :DD hmm... i wonder why he's not more popular than he already is.. For me he can make beautiful and amazing and deeply touching songs and sing even more amazing than he writes them :)
Might i point out that tedder came close to losing everything for onerepublic and turned down several pop offers? as well as coming close to losing the band until CHILDREN messaged onerepublic on myspace (where they got big BTW)
explaining how their music had saved their lives.
i would also like to point out he didnt get signed on immediatly to any records until timbaland took them in.
if it wasnt for timbaland Onerepublics skill and all the ppl spreading their music they wouldnt be here.......
@MissCoolStoryBro96 *sigh* i know. and the fact that he's about, what, twenty years older than me kind of puts a downer on that. i guess i meant that he is the AWESOMEST person in the entire universe :)
i just came into the reality that ryan tedder was so involved in music outside Onerepublic OMG its unreal the talent he has. i liked halo before but hearing him sing it..... unfuckingreal!
What's up with the Beyonce-bashing? I mean, Ryan Tedder is a brilliant musician, singer, and songwriter. But Beyonce has the vocal prowess to belt it out, and I prefer her rendition of this song by a fair bit.
@MY2SENCE Do you understand the things I am typing?...I said Timberland discovered him more. Many of us didn't even know there was a original version of Apologize..so, there for, come corrected.
@towelboi123 It's a bit difficult for me to understand the things that you're typing. What do you mean Timbaland discovered him more? I just don't think it's appropriate to associate Timbaland with their current success. Like you said, Ryan Tedder is one of the best lyricists and composers of this generation.
@MY2SENCE I think he/she is probably referring to "Apologize." Ryan Tedder is incredibly talented, but most people were first exposed to his music and OneRepublic when the Timbaland version of that song came out. I'm not saying he wouldn't have gotten there on his own, but there are a lot of talented singers/songwriters who never become well-known. So in that sense, Timbaland definitely helped the world discover him.
@MY2SENCE Timbaland did discover him more. OneRepublic had been dropped by their previous label, and then Timbaland found them, brought them in and recorded their songs. Does this make more sence now? :-)
both versions are good. i dont know why people have to compare all the time. just be open-minded. they're not even the same at all; both artists interpreted the song differently, and they both did it justice.
No wonder their songs sounded alike! Someone said the person who wrote halo wrote already gone, so that's why the songs sounded similar. I wondered who the writer was.
When I first heard Beyonces version I didn't know Ryan had wrote it at that point. I immediately fell in love with it even though I dont like Beyonces stuff. I loved it because it was completely Ryan. Same with Kelly Clarksons 'Already Gone'. I loved it and then I found out Ryan wrote it. Aha! Same with Bleeding Love. I only seem to like the songs that Ryan has written. He is one talented, blessed soul.
@Queensocks Dude, same! Just like "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks. His drums just have this way of moving your soul with the music. He is, quite simply, a musical genius. He knows how a song should sound, and he's humble enough to write fantastic songs and KNOW they're better suited for someone else. It would hate to have to give up such incredible pieces of music. But that just contributes to his greatness.
Love this song. Ryan is truly talented. It is always nice to hear a favorite song sung by the song writer, they always express emotions you don't hear other artist express. That being said both he and Beyonce sang it beautifully and diffrently as it should be since they are two diffrent artist coming at it from different places.
He didnt sell this song he made it specifically for beyonce like he did with bleeding love and battlefield, he produces beautiful music for loads of singers because thats one of his jobs
@DxOxGxGxY What I meant is I think Tedder recorded this as a sort of demo to give an idea of how it's supposed to sound making it the unreleased I think? Either way, this is better hands down!
You ppl sound crazy! beyonce is pure vocal talent point blank., forget all the other stuff. She delivered this song, and that's why he gave it to her, and she recorded and it was a HIT!!!! shut the hell up with the nagative vibes, Ryan tedder is a huge fan of beyonce, so the shit talking sounds idiotic!
@bamboozle127 Oh an guys....remember this is just a demo...this wouldn't be the finish product, it's poor quality....and if was....I would like it a lil better then beyonce's I believe...but just a LITTLE bit.
im not just feeling it when beyonce sings, although she has a beautiful voice its about the emotion you put in... and you cant really do if somebody else wrote the song 4 you
(cont. from below) "What I did was foolishly say to Leona's camp, 'I have it on hold for another A-list artist and I'm pretty sure they'll take it, but if they don't, I just want to know if you like it enough to consider it'. I sent it to them and they flipped on it. They loved it and instantly said they wanted to do it. I was like, 'Wait, wait, wait, no, it's not free yet!' - Ryan Tedder
Copied from the song's Wiki, quote is from a Manchester (UK) radio station.
This isn't a demo, per se. Ryan wrote this with Beyonce (and Jay-Z) in mind:
"There was this huge scandal that originally 'Halo' was meant to go to Leona. That was never the case ... That song was written for Beyoncé. What happened was that Beyoncé waited long enough to record that song ... I thought this would be a brilliant first single for Leona, which it would have. ... " (cont.)
i mean he did actually want to keep it for himself but he thought beyonce would be better cuz it felt like it was ment for her but i think both versions are awesome because both have a great voice and awesome ima download this to my ipod
Nice to see that the people that actually write these pop songs still get some recognition for it. Beautiful song. Now, Beyonce's vocals are waaaaaay better than his. But to be fair, very few people can match her vocal prowess ;)
@pu171103 are you retarded? obviously he's not going to sound as great in falsetto, beyonce sure as hell wouldn't, no one would. beyonce's version just doesn't fit. hers just sounds tacked together with not much care to the song as a whole, typical pop bullshit, but this version's production value, and just overall sound is inherently and indisputedly superior. learn to music please.
Beyonce never stood a chance against Ryan Tedder!!! I mean Beyonce smart enough to write this?? Not a chance. But Ryan Tedder??? Brilliant musician!!!! I wish he had produced it without her. Thumbs up if you agree!!! I <3 OneRepublic!!!!
@031fern Nope 3 kinds of people. The ones who share. The ones who mooch off the sharers causing them not to get what they deserve. And fianally the ones who get what they deserve. I simply hope Ryan can get the fans and publicity he deserves. I hope i can be the third option. And i hope you can stop saying wht you think i am because it turns out you dont kno me. Thank you.
@beyzaturhan They are D-list celebrities and they really can't sing. Their only famous song is that Timbaland song. They have horrible! songs and will always remain irrelevant
@kalax193 You can't believe your eyes? I say to you, don't! i could say the same about your ears if you think this guy can sing. If this is what he sounds like in the studio, i wouldn't waste my time watching him live. Is this what he sounds like in every song? No wonder even Justin Bieber, who sings like a tiny girl, is bigger than him.
@Lennyxism Your comparing him to justin bieber? Justin doesnt even have pitch his voice is always high, While ryan Has pitch he can sing high and low.
@Lennyxism If you really don like his voice you better shut up and go listen to your tiny girl who is bigger than him.When you don't know how enjoy music,then people who knows how to enjoy music wanna enjoy the music rather than wasting time reading comments like your's.FYI justin bieber sounds like a kid his voice isnt even matured.And yeah Ryan can sing way better than you,Justin bieber or anyone because his voice is unique.
@Lennyxism are you kidding me he wrote famous songs that big artist have sang such as beyonce. All his singles were top music ever listened to. Justin Biber is a wannabe who got famous through youtube like WTF he can't song nor can he dance hes a joke
@Lennyxism Listen to the version of All We Are on my channel, and you'll see that he CAN sing. This song just doesn't really show how well he can sing.
@Meows4Fun Hehe C'mon, the song was composed by Ryan Tedder, Evan Bogart, and Knowles within three hours in Tedder's studio. Don't bully the girl for no reason; she co-wrote the song. You're giving Tedder tooooo much credit for work that he couldn't do without her.
@CharlesMusicLover u really should be calling yourself "music lover" if you think this is a bad version of the song...only goes to show you dont know SHIT about music, I'm sorry but its true =D
and "you only need see the music I hear" ?? I'm not quite sure I got that with all the weird grammar, But I reckon you want to know what I listen to ??
I'd say "good music" just like the one in the video you're on..
a bit of a tip, take your argument elsewhere. Maybe to someone who shares your "beliefs" and/or "opinions"
@SoundosK Maybe the rest of people don't have a hearing capacity as beloved as yours but if you say One Republic singing Halo, we said BEYONCE with any song :)
@CDLXI I'm not quite sure how a hearing capacity can be classified "beloved" but I'll let that slip for now to get to my far more important point -> "LEARN TO READ RIGHT =D" I have NOT hated on beyonce at all ! I love beyonce and her vocals. she's awesome. what i did say however was that I thought that anyone who thought this was a bad version of ryan tedder's song -he wrote it- obviously knows nothing of good music or whatever it constitutes. so yeah, what's your problem again ? =D
I'm sick of when other music artist rely on him to help them with their songs and give him no credit for it. He's nice enough to support them with their album. Most of the popular mainstream artist got no real talent!
this one should have been released rather than Beyonce. no one knows good music anymore.

@Meows4Fun Halo is the only Beyonce song I actually like. After I found out that it was written by Ryan Tedder, I understood why I like it.

@beyzaturhan They are D-list celebrities and they really can't sing. Their only famous song is that Timbaland song. They have horrible! songs and will always remain irrelevant

@Lennyxism Ryan Tedder can't really sing? I can't belive my eyes. Have you EVER FUCKING WATCHED OneRepublic singing live?

@kalax193 You can't believe your eyes? I say to you, don't! i could say the same about your ears if you think this guy can sing. If this is what he sounds like in the studio, i wouldn't waste my time watching him live. Is this what he sounds like in every song? No wonder even Justin Bieber, who sings like a tiny girl, is bigger than him.

@Lennyxism hmm, I see why you said such things now. You don't like his voice? Why? I don't understand why...

@Lennyxism Your comparing him to justin bieber? Justin doesnt even have pitch his voice is always high, While ryan Has pitch he can sing high and low.
SN1P3R1366 4 months ago
@Lennyxism If you really don like his voice you better shut up and go listen to your tiny girl who is bigger than him.When you don't know how enjoy music,then people who knows how to enjoy music wanna enjoy the music rather than wasting time reading comments like your's.FYI justin bieber sounds like a kid his voice isnt even matured.And yeah Ryan can sing way better than you,Justin bieber or anyone because his voice is unique.

@Lennyxism and? OneRepublic is well produced.
so is your precious justin beiber.
and i would like to point out beiber doesnt write his own songs
he doesnt get on top of the charts like onerepublic.
and if he couldnt sing he wouldnt be singing out there right now.

@Lennyxism are you kidding me he wrote famous songs that big artist have sang such as beyonce. All his singles were top music ever listened to. Justin Biber is a wannabe who got famous through youtube like WTF he can't song nor can he dance hes a joke

@Lennyxism Listen to the version of All We Are on my channel, and you'll see that he CAN sing. This song just doesn't really show how well he can sing.

@Meows4Fun Hehe C'mon, the song was composed by Ryan Tedder, Evan Bogart, and Knowles within three hours in Tedder's studio. Don't bully the girl for no reason; she co-wrote the song. You're giving Tedder tooooo much credit for work that he couldn't do without her.

@CharlesMusicLover u really should be calling yourself "music lover" if you think this is a bad version of the song...only goes to show you dont know SHIT about music, I'm sorry but its true =D
just look at the rest of the comments...
SoundosK 1 year ago
@SoundosK Really? The original song ever is the best version.. I only need see the music you hear ... I'm sorry but its true
CharlesMusicLover 1 year ago
@CharlesMusicLover this IS the "original" song, he flippin wrote it =D
doesnt get any more "original" than that ...
and "you only need see the music I hear" ?? I'm not quite sure I got that with all the weird grammar, But I reckon you want to know what I listen to ??
I'd say "good music" just like the one in the video you're on..
a bit of a tip, take your argument elsewhere. Maybe to someone who shares your "beliefs" and/or "opinions"

@SoundosK Maybe the rest of people don't have a hearing capacity as beloved as yours but if you say One Republic singing Halo, we said BEYONCE with any song :)
CDLXI 1 year ago
@CDLXI I'm not quite sure how a hearing capacity can be classified "beloved" but I'll let that slip for now to get to my far more important point -> "LEARN TO READ RIGHT =D" I have NOT hated on beyonce at all ! I love beyonce and her vocals. she's awesome. what i did say however was that I thought that anyone who thought this was a bad version of ryan tedder's song -he wrote it- obviously knows nothing of good music or whatever it constitutes. so yeah, what's your problem again ? =D

Love Beyonce but Ryan is magic!!! I can't explain Listen.

I'm sick of when other music artist rely on him to help them with their songs and give him no credit for it. He's nice enough to support them with their album. Most of the popular mainstream artist got no real talent!
