  • no começo da musica quem que canta????alguem pode me informar???

  • this is my all time favourite sample of Africa !!! :))))))))

  • @Trackmaster37 .. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL are you dead YET??

  • This was on the radio for ages in Ireland back when it was out. But it was called Rendez-Vous then. Awesome song, good use of Africa.

  • I love how she incorporates the beat and mixes into a rnb rythym :)

  • Better than Jason Derulo's sample, MILES BETTER. Shame this was never released properly.

  • Luv, luv, luvvvvvvvvv JoJo's SECOND album ("The High Road"), especially .. and maybe THIS song most of all. Soooooooo cool & fun and her music!!!!!!! :D

  • I LOVEEE this song! and Tynisha Keli's version too! :)<3

  • Hate to tell you guys but this song is 7 years old, not 3 or 4

  • DON'T READ THIS CUZ IT ACTUALLY WORKS YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEARST POSSIBLE FRIDAY FROM THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE, TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS TO OVER THREE VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN OVER TWO DAYS NOW THAT YOU'VE STARTED READING THIS DONT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY POST THIS TO OVER FIVE VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUVE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUCSH NAME WILL APEAR ONSCREEN IN BIG LETTER.

  • I Love this Song.Missing JoJo.

  • love this song

    

  • it's not the african governments fault after all

    jojo killed africa 

  • luv it

  • Dude you need to change the description cause this song is over 3 years old. LOL!!! I absolutely love this song though. It's her best song period. Yet this is just my opinion and doesn't make it true.

  • my dogs sexy ;)

  • SHIT !!!!!lol and best song ever !!!! is it f*** lol i suppose its sorta ok but litte oo late is soooo much better !!!!! =)

  • best song yet of her

  • Holy crap, this is 4 years old?! I just heard it for the first time like a week ago

  • I'm a 20 year old man and I know every word to this song and I don't care.

  • this reminds me of working at Kwik Trip daily they disposed of a lot of bananas and it made me very sad cuz I wanted the bananas

  • Jojo and Toto, what could be a more bodacious mix?

  • Oh my gosh, she didn't remix, steal or copy anything. She sampled 5 seconds of a song!

  • all this made me wanna do is listen to the song she copied from

  • whats the original called?

    

  • What is the first 5secs sampled from?

    

  • @howslifeforyou Toto-Africa

  • Amazing voice

  • Lv this song!

  • what? i thought this was from I Bless the Rains??

  • @Maccla1 I bless the rains down in Africaaa :))

  • Don't read this cause it actually works. U will be kissed in the nearest possible Friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However if you do not post this comment on at least 3 videos you will die within 2 days. Now you started reading this don't stop. This is so scary put this on at least 5 videos in 143 minutes when your done, press f6 and your lovers name will appear on screen in big letters this is so scary cause it actually works

  • @juliashuliaa If anything, this samples Toto Africa at the beginning, then sampled & remixed the bacground music. The bg music samples some bits of Toto Africa, but its still different. It could be called a remixed sample of the Africa's bg music. Remix=same artist/song (edited by a producer,dj,fan,etc) Sample=part of of the actual song is played Cover= legally (either nonprofitted,permitted, or otherwise) singing someone else's song.

  • @juliashuliaa its not a remix, remix is a different version of the same song (ie different background music, edited versions, added parts by the original artist and/or added on artists, etc). Basically what DJs do. This has a brief sample of Toto Africa at the beginning, and parts of the background music. The rest becomes its on for the most part. Sample meaning it actually included/played a part from/of another song (and by another artist) vocally and/or instrumentally.

  • Oehh love this song <3

  • AFRICA!!!!!!

  • Everything is a remix of something else, don't hate.

  • this kinda sounds like ashanti's baby

  • @punjabiqt08 wow...... -.- it's a remix of toto africa

  • @juliashuliaa not a remix..

  • @sdor13 GOD

  • This song gets me really emotional, love it...

  • what ever happened to this girl......

  • @kc270352 she just came out with a new song yesterday :D its a cover of drake's marvins room. it is amazing!

  • @kc270352 she recently did a remix to drakes marvins room go check it out(:

  • Respect to her for using the immense groove that is Africa

  • Jojo and Toto should join together for Toto's 1983 remake song "Africa"

  • ist sie nicht der absolute oberhammer???

  • Like it so much..........

  • remake of africa.. amazin!

  • This is sort of groovy.  I like it.

  • i miss jojo!

  • @808behbehgirl me too :( but i'm glad that she's back =D

  • @LaraLovesJoJo really how is she back??

  • so this is magic hea? wow, never believed in magic, but now I absolutely do!

  • LOVE THIS!

  • if you don't lk a song then why even freakin listen to it. it just shows that you actually 1. like the song or 2. have no life and lk to comment badly on songs that you lk but say u dont. get a life seriously!!

  • A Melhor Música Dela !!!

  • Why do you artists need to rip-off orginal good tracks and then make them seem your own? Is it because you artists these days have no talent and so need to 'sample' other tracks????? Musics gone to the dogs now. EVEN DOGS CAN HOWL BETTER THAN SOME MUSICIANS THESE DAYS! I blame electronic mixers, auto-tuners and DJ stations, adn i blame people who have no vocal talent just rapping like goats to get money, taking advantage of tuners.

  • @remiwarren actually, Jojo is one of the FEW singers who has talent. So she used a song! It's not like the original artist isn't getting money for it. And if the original artist had such a huge problem, I'm sure they wouldn't let other artists use their music.

  • @remiwarren so you say that she can't sing? :O

  • @sofakifuckoff Well, she can sing of course! But im not happy wid da 'burrowin' tunes thing.....specially the good hip 80's tracks.

  • @remiwarren yeah i agree with you tottaly i don't like it too ! but i really like this one !

  • @sofakifuckoff YAY! :D

  • @remiwarren You don't even know what talent is

  • @iStan4JoAndTK And I suppose you do and you'v been in the music scene for 7 years and won enuf awards to show it.

  • OH I remember how much I loved this song <3

  • Luv it!

  • old song butttt when JoJo sings it .. .. it just gets a hit jam ;] OH YEEH <3 XD

  • i normally don't like sampled songs.this one's good,specially because of her amazing vocals :) hope she returns soon

  • We love it !

  • Jojo <3 , i miss her .

  • This is the best use I've ever heard of an "Africa" sample. Off the hook!

  • OMG I LOVE THIS SONG <3 <3 <3

  • sounds good!! love her voice!!!

  • Just discovered the music is from an old 80s song, never knew that :') Still like it !

  • is she coming back??i miss her a lot

  • @geohansky yep she has a new album comin out called jumping trains

  • I honestly cry a little everytime I hear her sing, no matter what it is.

  • Epic song ^.^

  • all her songs are amazing. but this is just breath taking. :]

  • This song is AMAZING! <33

  • I love this song until now is it me or do i really miss the old jojo

  • Thought it didn't existed no more.. i've been searchin for this SOO LONG

  • The bit after 3:50 is the best part of the song

  • aw ilovethissong reminds me of england aw i miss my hometown!

  • i always thought it was funny how her name is jojo and the band she sampled is toto

  • It's like when Sean Kingston destroyes Ben E King's legendry song: Stand By Me.

    Such a disservice to some awesome music =(

  • love this song(:

  • lov this song <3

  • wow. this is lazy and uninspired sampling at its worst. did david paich really sign off on this!?

  • dis brings bak so many memorise it crazy gotta find her album layin round sumwere x

  • I love this song, and your an ass, this her song, she borrowed a few lyric from that song, go f*ck urself. @hotjohn01

  • @ak102097 She actually borrowed a lot more than just a "few lyric" from Toto, she took basically the whole song: the chords, instruments, basically all the whole music, the drums, the drum fills, you should give the original song a listen and maybe you would realize how very similar the song is, and this just proves that classics from the 60's-80's are still great if hip hop and rap artists are using them in their songs.

  • @matman912808 Okay one you can lose the attitude, Duhhhh rap and hip hop artists use different parts of 60's-80's classics in their songs, I never said that. I've heard the whole song, but thanks for that tip. I like how it took you 4 months to see my comment.....if you knew anything about music you would see its only a "few lyric" in her song. She didn't take the whole song. I'm pretty sure the music, (beat wise) doesn't matter so long as the words aren't ignorant. You could a tip in that. thx

  • @matman912808 And either way people look at it as a remake, so I shouldn't honestly matter love. (: And she made tons off of it, so obviously you and hotjohn01 are really the only ones that care about that. (:

  • A shit version of an original classic. Toto - Africa

  • なんで最初africaなの?
