Cartel- wasted (wyclef remix)

[djluminus]

this just came up on shuffle on my itunes, havent heard in years. still good tho and I do like the remix!!

[shainaratos]

is it weird that i like this more than the original?

[AlexsisRivas]

/watch?v=--jqdyAH5iI&feature=c­hannel_video_title

[Reinstated5]

The original's way better. D:

[killburn25]

imagine if you made your moms funeral music to the beat of a clown song. This is what i am listening to right now.

I CALL SACRILEGE!!!

[ccwm92]

personally, even though this song initially to have a sad mood, i like the upbeat rhythm. both the original and remix with wyclef have their pros and cons.

[bluntzfordayz]

Obviously this song is about how messed up everyone is, it''s not just about dying.

It's like a critique of the world

[ShortTheOldMan]

A song about people dying mixed with reggae..?

[kshepthedrummer]

wtf, what does 9/11 and north korea have to do with this song?

wyclef has no skill at making music, he just blurts out words that fit the beat

[atherhand]

I disagree with everyone. I think the chorus in this version is actually more powerful, with the dark undertones.

[laurenmarshall216]

ughhhh hate this. killed the song!

[angel2162]

I like how the upbeat rhythm prevents me from crying, but WTF Wyclef!

[tanjida2008]

Oh man. Wyclef - dude yes, you are amazing but this song is meant to be slow and sad. Definitely not downloading this.

[firecrow100]

@tanjida2008

i like this version better

[Akkita]

... Oh God.

It's so upbeat and happy. This is hilarious. xD

The chorus is pretty cool, though. :O

[ZoeTerror14]

This is the way I first heard it o: So it sounds all right, it still makes me cry tho o:

[youneedtofloss]

what the heck, this is not an upbeat song, why on earth did wyclef remix this?

[yoyayoya101]

I hate the beginning when Wyclef goes "Cartel so wasted. Wyclef so wasted." It sounds like their freaking drunk! I also don't like Wyclef's solo. I don't mind the beat though I do prefer the original beat.

[Nasuke777]

erm....wtf xD

[bs0722ft]

first, I could't understand this Lyrics, becaouse of too first to understand English for me. I'm not English speeker though,,,

but, now I totaly love this song. love cartel, love wyclif!

[Demotivational]

The beat doesn't match this song at all.. It makes it all happy and what not, but if you realize the song is supposed to be sad.

[KillVictim]

i dont like it. T.T

[deeznutz950]

lol i thougt this was gucci wasted salty!!

[Bridgersjohn]

So many people that have commented on this video are not thinking outside of the box. The reality is that even though there is sadness, despair and death going on around us each and every day...the world still moves on. Even the lyrics spell out a nonchalant attitude towards each tragedy. They made the song so much better by making it more upbeat and causing the listeners to think about the lyrics true intentions.

[chesterinoaussie]

I hadn't really gone into the lyrics yet but I was thinking of it since I really liked the song (just getting into Cartel), but that sounds about right. The only part I don't understand is why the song doesn't seem to show that life goes on, everything gets better ect ect. I understand that the lyrics are ironic but it just seems a bit empty without that. Or am I just looking at it wrong?

[chaloberth]

this version > original.

this version just fits the lyrics and the meaning of the song. the other version was something you would play if you were marching in an army mans funeral with the brass instruments in it. =/

[LisaBreeBranch]

this remix sucks big balls

[mattms33]

its about dying, right? i feel like up beat death is a little off putting

[jennywatt1]

This version of Wasted is way too upbeat. Completely ruins the song..

[Bones0]

It's hard to remix a fast-paced song without slowing down or removing the original, and I can't hear any parts without the original being that different. It's mostly just stuff added in, making it sound too cluttered to listen to.

[spiffystarr]

Honestly I like this version.

The other version is better.

But this is really good too.

Still has a lot of meaning.

Amazing band.

Nice vid, btw.

[PutUpOrShutUp221]

i dont get why everyones all mad at this version.. the other one is pretty upbeat too. the whole point is its ironic. i dont like the beginning with wyclef

[miragracevids]

uhm

this ruined the song.

[willholden22]

wow, this doesnt work.

[pinkflya]

this is kinda odd...i dont mind it upbeat its just wyclef is odd.

love cartel, they're amazing!

[RazzleProductions]

what the fuck is this?

Of course Cartel would ruin their best song.

[michaeh6]

I think the original and the remix are sold songs, and have you ever heard they might be gaints or beck? cause they put happy tunes to depressing songs all the time and they are still great songs

[supertom85]

haha, so many weiners commenting on this video. "oh it's too happy and upbeat, im going to cry now" Bloody emo's. Get over yourself.

[A7XisTheeBest]

.. i like the original. its not supposed to be so upbeat. its not EMOTIONAL AT ALL. its supposed to touch you... not just be lyrics and beats,

[XxMUSiCiSLiFExX14]

eww

[cocolnut]

This is a awesome song! One of my fav from this CD,

And to everyone who keeps saying its to happy for the words Get over it!

[TheIna123]

the remix can suck my dick... cuz you cant do a happy beat like that with words that are so sad.. this song is too good to ruin.. you just dont do remixes on songs that are amazing already.

[myjumper]

Awesomeeeee

[flynvfae]

uh didnt any of you guys hear of something called irony? thats why the song is so awesome. its like MIA paper planes

[rwrsx]

I think this remix is too happy compared to what the lyrics are like. It's stupid.

[juicyAK]

hate this !!! original is soo much better, the lyrics doesnt fit the tune

[VICzebra]

this song should NOT be so happy, i really dislike this version.

i'm so happy i got a scratch on the cd and this track doesn't work.

[americanidiotfan1995]

kinda lke it?

[jairese]

Pffft, I don't like the remix.

In general, I think this song is about wasted lives. Those lives were wasted, these people died young and unfairly. These lives were wasted by something natural, other people, or themselves, and someone is finally trying to change it so he doesn't waste his life. I now have a totally different perspective on Cartel.

[190dylon]

this version is much better than the original.............it doesn't make me wanna go commit suicide

[americanidiotfan1995]

i agree with :molly4815162342........... the music is too happy for the lyrics in this version, i like the original better!!! but it is true that the original is.....how you say more saddening!....

[molly4815162342]

wayyy too happy for the lyrics...

[sk8er1307]

i agree w/ jonaschick42

[jonaschick42]

I love this version...it makes the song less sad.

[panthers8952]

this version sucks gotta say other one is hundred times better

[randomegirl636]

True

[xxmcrchickiexx]

Mmmmmhmmm.

[spacemonkeyzrock]

this is pretty cool. i still like the original better. i guess it's cause i don't care for wyclef, or hip hop in general, not that the song is really that hip hop.

[alexisonline05]

wow this beat goes perfectly with the lyrics. great job

[ebsanu]

This is an official remix done by Cartel

[supercreativename]

i still love it though. fuck it. we're all wasted.

it's kindof the same philosophy as Time to Pretend by MGMT

[MoshpitManhattanx394]

............wtf?

[WeLaLaLie]

i love this

the other one isn't that sad

they both have the same lyrics

T_T

[tune5k]

i wish i never heard this version. i'm going to pretend i didn't hear it

[deathxberry]

I think this kinda kills the original.

They composed "Wasted" as it was for a reason.

[crazyazn1and2]

i like this song

i like both versions =)

[EdwardCullenIsSexpot]

m3e too. :D

[taytaybaby23]

not my favorite.. at all

[chernamin]

all you guys are funny who say they dont like this because its supposed to be sad

i mean really do we want to sit around and listen to depressing stuff? why?????????

[headphoneinjuriesxx3]

I don't think it's so much the fact as they want to listen to depressing music that makes them cry themselves to sleep so much as the fact that the song is really deep and with all the happy chords it sounds kinda off. The song starts out with people dying for gods sake. You need a shit load of minor in there.

[starsandmelodies]

Second that shitload of minor.

[indigomoody]

ppl read sad stories and watch sad stories for the same reason. 'cuz life isn't all happy and ppl want to see the truth.

plus cartel has a very nice voice and the bouncy beat sounds happy XD

[Jerott24]

lol i'm pretty sure the lyrics speak for themselves. it's obviously a sad song, you dumbshits, you don't need to tell us that.

i like this version better. takes away from the whiny angst of the original.

[kenziebruh]

wow, ummm, what the fukk do whiny angst mean????

bahah, im slow. i know. you dont have to tell me :P

[ffaithyy]

i like the normal version better.

wyclef's remix makes it sound like a happy song, and it's not supposed to be, it talks about the trials of life.

[punkazn94]

lol its okay i still like the original better but this is still pretty cool lol

[itshellaali]

ew this is supposed to be a sad song. about horrible things and how our lives get wasted.

not some shitty reggae wyclef jean party beat thing

gross.

[assiram6549]

iiii loveee itt!! so much better than the orginal

[iluvmufinz901]

yeah soo its upbeat so is the jonas brothers and their songs are sad too.

and alot of other artists have upbeat songs that are sad.

[CubanKrysis]

i actually didnt like it at first but i have to admit it grows on you

[monsterbmxing]

You know how bad he'd be breathing if he actually song that whole song like that? As in, that fast and not stopping for a breath? :p haha.

[sweetcarabou]

its accually not that hard lol im going to sing it for a compotition at school and ive been practicing and its pretty easy

[ThomasStoma]

what the hell

[cocu127]

i like the regular version bitter

[PatInferno]

The part where Wyclef puts in his anti-war message was stupid. The song had nothing to do with anti-war. Thats the only part I hate about the song.

[TheBoSox1918]

just to let all of you know. wyclef did this in collaberation with Cartel..it wasnt like he went out and did this on his own. the band was with him during the whole production of the remix.

[pokemon111321]

eek! this version isn't as good as the regular one. its too upbeat for the meaning of the song.

[joepa267]

i think thats what they're going for, depressing song with an up beat tempo, form of irony.

[xoxjazzzy]

i like this better as just cartel :/

[Devonrockshard]

they ruined this song

this song is supposed to be rockers expression on the whole life thing we live

wyclef made a mockery of it

i feel like, he made it have no meaning

and taht he was making fun of it

[PatInferno]

The point of it was to be look at how happy this, oh wait this is about something horrible.

[woahhlexi]

the drumline was the best part. without it this song is depressing

[searching4destiny]

.. I prefer the normal version.. The song is supposed to be sad and the fast beat in the backgroud makes it feel more upbeat.

[conschaak]

man this sounds like shit i like the regular cartel man

[buccsfan2113]

i really like this version its just,

this is supposed to be a really sad song,

mentioning deaths

but i got respect to wyclef for throwin in the wars and the twin towers

its just the up beat doesnt make much sense

but its still an awsome version

[SaneSarah]

Ehh.

Cartel is better.

But this isn't too bad.

[sunset91]

yeah

but if you actually listened to the original

it's actually upbeat music in the background with trumpets and big beat music

it may be sad lyrics but i guess they wanted it still to be upbeat

i think this version is amazing and perfactly fine

wyclef did an great job

[secra]

Wyclef? Was he the one just like talking in the beginning and middle?  I love this song, but it'd be much better without that crap in between it

[livyourlife14]

this is amazing, it sounds so much better this way...carrtellll is soooo niceeeeee!

[Panth3rdash]

I love the remix ! is fuckin ace ! it makes it so much easier to listen to , and if anything the lyrics stick in my mind more when i listen to this version.

[iluvmufinz901]

My god i love this songg.

but like u guys complain to muchh.

if it ruins itt.

then why do u listennn retardss.

I fucking hate youtubess shitty comments cuz u fucking babies whine too muchh.

no offense,

idc put lame comments on my pro.

whatever be fucking complainerss.

haterss.

[thaticantoutrun]

i love both versions will is a an awesome singer i can never get tired of his voice =]

[pbnjellie]

Wow this remix ruins the aura of the original.

[tikirider467]

YOU RUINED IT!! lol

[dino01]

stfu YOU STUPID EMO

[ethio14]

the song is supposed to be sad but now it's happy.

i love the fact that wyclef is on it & the beat is good...just not for this song.

wyclef didn't mess up the song, his beat did.

he should have put this beat on another song.

[funnymusicvideos88]

this song is the best compared than the origonal

[eaglesfan456789]

this remix should go die

[reputationX2]

GROSS! THIS IS HORRIBLE!! I HATE IT!!

[smallfri2844]

wow fuhking original is so much better, i love the sadness in the original, this song should neverhave even been thought of to be up beat, its a sad song.. wht in the world would u make it up beat... plus in my opinion it sucks ass and sounds extreemly fuhked up.

[BMJBlake]

agreed with chidoschick ruins song

[rockon4eve]

good pictures

[ChiodosChick77]

ok first of all this version SUCKS! its not suposed to peppy and its suposed to be sad and thats wat makes it good. read the lyrics! then youll realize this is sucky and ugly and fucked up a great song.

[dnamick17]

does ne one know when they are gonna come out w/ a video for this?

[michellefaith]

well jeff told me that it depends on how many more singles they have off the record but if they have the last single it'll be wasted but fortunate would be the next single ;]

[dnamick17]

i think they are both pretty good i kinda like this version the most sorry

[lilmissxlonghorn]

This one is soo much better than the original. The original sounds so much more depressing. Love the beat!!!

[cheesemaster45]

I don't really get the beginning!!!

[MorgiiT]

i love the pics of Nic

[AndreaSweetie]

Dont like this one.

[sourcheesecake13]

the origional is better but i love the pictures of cartel except whats with the shaggy haired guy?

[iluvmufinz901]

In my opinion I like this one better than the original.

you can still tell the meaning plus it doesnt sound so depressing anymore.

and i dont care if you dont like me i think this version is better.

[izzygotgame]

Original

is

better !

[andy3024]

it kind of ruins the song. i deffinatly like the original better. this version also takes away the mood of the song so the words dont really mean anything anymore

[faddy5624]

wow, the words don't have any "deep intellectual meaning that you have to ponder over in order to get a better understanding of them. The didn't lose their meaning.

[tsmssexyboy]

Your just racist thats why you like the other song better.

[x0xselenax0x]

songs pretty;coool

[Lobos1597]

u guy totaly recked the song :(

[SomeoneMustGetHurt]

sounds like a happy song now

still cool =]

[ParanoidInsomniac]

i cannot stand the background music.

other than that, i liked it.

[babagh3noush]

i love this song

[pittsburghlover86]

this is cool i  like wyclefs new song sweetest girl and i like cartels regular version of this song too but this is good coming from 2 totally different music artists

[brentf1993]

Nice song! XD

[iheatherandfriends]

omg this is the best

[WoahWeirdoChickk]

i like the original version better.

oh well this is still good.

[cmarrs22]

this is kind of a sad song if you listen to it. but i'm addicted to it!

[mcrloveandhate92]

i feel the same....but who cares!?

[stendulker2]

yeah. the remix is kinda hipocritical. the background music is like upbeat and happy, but the lyrics are sad

[cmarrs22]

exactly what i mean. but i cant stop listening!

have you heard the original? it's definitely more real.

[stendulker2]

yeah, its a really good song

[Solarwave3]

[Tomboipunkr01]

<3 love the remix and the original

[XxLoveAlchemistxX]

I like the remix,but it could do without Wyclef in there.He ruined it. D:

[DanisCorner]

this totally ruins the song.

it sounds like something u would hear at a taquilia bar.

[samtastic1363]

love this song <3

[ohsoxxjudy11]

this makes it so, so much less boring

[08sfarah]

its my fave song of the cd too

[spungemonkey1899]

I have never seen such an oxymoron... this song is pretty... touchy... really doesn't match this tune :P

[carterfalk]

wow dude

[deadend116]

This remixed most surely ruined the song.

[bRiO98]
