  • this one should have been released rather than Beyonce. no one knows good music anymore.

  • his voice is very amazing

  • Is Ryan Tedder in One Republic? Sorry if this is a silly question.

  • @musicchick581 Yes he is the front singer of OR =)

  • @musicchick581 Yes!

  • Few bands can even COMPARE to OneRepublic.

  • I luv his voice

  • Comment removed

  • Grammy*

    

  • OMG i had no idea Ryan wrote this song. He is so Amazing!!

  • i like beyonce's more. but this is super beautiful too, but beyonce sends chills down my spine.

  • Ryan's definitely one of the greatest and most talented musicians!!

    Only a great talent could've written such a masterpiece!!

    I loooove his version: it's so honest, emotional and strong as all of his performances!!

    In general he's got a unique timbre and can perform ANY song brilliantly!!<3

  • if you didnt all know already, ryan produced this song for beyonce

  • im been a fan of one republic and ryan tedder since 2005 and its 2011 and i still cant get enough of them One Republic Forever!

  • <3 Best song writer, singer, musician, ever. <3

  • Is there a better quality version of this song anywhere??? I can't seem to find it. Is there only a demo?

  • @dyllungarrett check on mp3skull;

    type "Ryan Tedder Halo"

    the HQ file is the first one :p

  • ....sings like Justin Timberlake!

    

  • @yari155

    it's called falsetto

  • Favorite artist combined with my fav song!!!!

  • He's genius! he wrote this!!

    stop comparing. both are simply great to the ears

  • Much better than the original. They give me chills, beyoncè doesn't make all this mess with my soul.

  • @HeadInTheClouds187 this IS the original lol. This is the Demo even before beyonce recorded it. Ryan Tedder wrote this song and demo'ed it

  • @BrianNelsonMusic Oh, I didn' know that. Well, thanks, btw. :)

  • @HeadInTheClouds187 Ryan Tedder is kinda... well is the man. He's written for Beyonce, Leona Lewis, Adele, Ludacris, the list goes on and on.

  • Wow! This is BETTER.

    Plus, no illuminati bitch here.

  • That Passion in your Voice ♥´´

  • Ryan tedder produces most of the songs on the radio now a days, no suprise that he wrote this :)

  • 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.......

  • halo never sounded so good.

  • Ryan tedder One Republic so awsome and yet so unknow T.T Ryan Tedder Forever

  • all his ballads sound the same...

  • I am going to marry Ryan Tedder.

  • @seddieluvr1098 hes already married lol -_____-

  • @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 :)

  • @seddieluvr1098 Lmfao!

  • 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!

  • No wonder Halo was so good, it's because Ryan Tedder wrote. The world makes sense again.

  • 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.

  • Ryan Tedder is ONE of the best songwriters during this century. Thank god Timberland discovered him more.

  • @towelboi123 its timbaland

  • @towelboi123 dont forget about his singin!

  • @towelboi123 He isn't successful because of Timbaland. They work together, but, Timbaland is not the reason for his success.

  • @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 Is it Timberland or Timbaland? It has been confusing me a lot.

  • @148word Timberland is a shoe company. Timbaland is the producer.

  • @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? :-)

  • @MY2SENCE Which makes towelboi123's comment look even more stupid.

  • he sounds soooo much better i love him!!!

  • no mater what he writes or sings its going to be good!!!!!!

  • ryan tedder sometimes wrote songs and gave it to other artist as it's not suitable for his voice,and sang some songs himself if it suit his vocals

  • 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.

  • @alexpiccirillo1 Actually, Tedder worked -- or works, I dunno -- for Beyonce and received a Garmmy nomination on Record Of The Year for this song.

  • @THEMASTER1005 this year he won one with Adele

  • one republic gave this song to beyonce... hes done that for a few songs now

  • omg this is amazing beyonce should have gave this 2 them

  • @jarmir11 well Ryan Teddler wrote it so Beyonce couldn't have given it to them as he already owned it and wrote it with her in mind

  • ya this is better suited for Beyonce's voice, but I still like Ryan's rendition

  • 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.

  • I never knew he wrote this song. I think the song is more suited to beyonce's voice tbh but ryan has a good voice and is a good songwriter :)

  • he's genius..

  • Ha and beyonce says she wrote this song? the proof is in the pudding/demo ;-)

  • Ryan, stop writing songs and then giving them away..pls..you do a better job than the rest with all of them you GAVE away already...love you!!!

  • 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.

  • @Southurnsassy

    i totally agree with you

  • wish he never sold this song :[ Ryan would have made this a bigger hit than anyone

  • No one can make better lyrics than Ryan Tedder!!! He's the best!! This song is much better when he sings it!!

    I Love One Republic!!!! <3

  • @Zaas14  :) :D

  • 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

  • Why why whyyyyyy?!?!?! He just had to sell it, didn't he?!

  • damn it!!! why on earth did ryan tedder sell thisong to her!! he sings it why better OMFG!

  • I think this is faar better than original! Raise the hat to 1R.

  • @DxOxGxGxY This is the original... Ryan Tedder wrote it.

  • @guylowme I know that Ryan Tedder wrote it but it's Beyonce's song. So original is by Beyonce but this is more better I think.

  • @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!

  • Ma che bella è questa cover!!!!ryan tedder spacca tuttiiii!

  • 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!

  • OMG....Ryan is my fav songwriter of all time....this is my fav song of all time, and I didn't know that he wrote it til now :)

  • @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.

  • Why whyy did u sell this song to herr??

  • i get chills when ryan sings

    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

  • this must be Beyonce's best hit ever! thanks to Ryan Tedder! love that guy! :)

  • ลงตัวมากๆเลยค่ะ

    

  • He should of kept his song from fucking Beyonce I would've been able to listen to this in my car instead of going on youtube

  • Sound is bad :/

  • OMG! BEYONCE DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE AGAINST THIS! OneRepublic RULES!

  • Oh yeah, thanks for the upload. Didn't even know 1R recorded a version of this, sounds great!

  • (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 knew that cunt Beyonce had no hand in writing this song. This demo right here is the proof.

  • i like this verrson better

  • he wrote this song and sent it to pink and beyonce but beyonce bought it first  i think they shold have kept it and sung it them self

  • What are the lyrics to the 4th verse, it starts with would have thought to save you I think? They are not in Beyonces version

  • loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this!!!!<3<3<3<3<3

  • he's a songwriting genius

  • Its such shame that Ryan didnt add that song to one his albums. Its beatifull song

    Onerepublic is the best. I love that band so much

  • 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

  • @Aaron0141 I thought when he wrote it he wanted leona lewis to have it. but it didnt make her album so beyonce took it cuz she loved it

  • @TGSchannel in an interview, he said he wrote it with beyonce in mind. :)

  • OMG Ryan' so damn cute...

  • Serious talent -- no matter who he's compared to. He's definitely an original

  • so much better than beyonce, i would jizz if this was on a main album

  • I dont know why he sells his amazing song to female singer while he can sing better

  • 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.

  • he did wrote it right?

  • @lanarondi2989 yes he wrote it.

  • i loveeeeeeeeee this soooooo much :'( way better than beyonce i wish he kept it for himself/one republic instead of giving it to her :(

  • @laf4sash o please! hang it up! FLATSCREEN!!!

  • i love ryan singing this better than beyonce...no offense to beyonce

  • thumbs up who think Ryan Tedder is a genius!

    he seriously change my life :)

  • RYAN TEDDER-, BEST MUSIC AND VIDEO EVER BY FAR

  • I love his music and his writing work for Britney, I hope they will do ever a duet!

  • such a beautiful song and i LOVE ryans version...so nice of him to share his talent w/others<3

  • oh my god i love this song, b\ryan tedder or beyonce

  • ryan is an amazing man

  • he's the best producer ever!!!

  • 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!!!!

  • @Meows4Fun Yes yes yes!

  • @Meows4Fun Two kinds of Peoples on earth: The one who share and these others kinds like you!

  • @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.

  • @Meows4Fun Ikr? Ryan Tedder is just amazing

    One of those new gen singers that can just hit any note

  • @Meows4Fun Actually ryan tedder wrote this beyonce just sing it.....

  • @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.

  • @dreamthief10 Ironically it's not as good as her other songs; stan! This version is pathetic, I can't listen to half the song

  • @Lennyxism

    then go and jump off a cliff. you have NO taste in music. at all. :)

  • @Meows4Fun Wont lie to impress anyone; this version sucks!!!!!

  • @Lennyxism FUCK YOU ONEREPUBLİC FOREVER SHUT THE FUCK UP BİTCH YOUR EARS HAVE GOT SOME PROBLEMS GO FUCK THEM

  • @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

  • lol stfu

    onerepublic is amazing

    & apparently you don't listen to the radio very much!!!

  • @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 Dude, just dude.... no... no.

  • @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 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.

  • Christina Grimmie is better in my opinion

  • omfg this is amazing *0* i never liked this song until now!

  • Damn! This is so GOOD!!! Not Beyonce ! Ryan Tedder best singin this song.!

  • @mrttgs11 agreed and he also wrote the song for beyonce

  • Thank god Beyonce covered it! you can hardly hear the lyrics when he sings the chorus hahaha.. props to Mr. Tedder for writing it though.

  • LOVE! this song plz people cheak out ice from ryan tedder best song he wrote so far i think thats my opinion

  • Comment removed

  • THIS SOUNDS BETTER THAN RIHANNA'S VERSION

    <3 U ONE REPUBLIC

  • @merechottatiny Rihanna doesn't sing Halo!! That was Beyoncé ;)

  • @valider7 They're all the same...

  • @merechottatiny its not rihanna

  • Finally...

  • think this song is amazing whether he wrote it or beyonce did. they both did a great job, but his is so much better :)

  • Beyonce its better, Ryan havent voice... Bad version guys

  • @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 Really? The original song ever is the best version.. I only need see the music you hear ... I'm sorry but its true

  • @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 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 think every good song must be interprete by female and male artist...love it thanks to share.

  • Found a good quality MP3 of this! Took me forever. PM me if you want it :).

  • 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!
