Imogen Heap - Hide And Seek

[crunchmaster9000]

This makes me want to write a letter to my sister.

[LtSump]

that tranny is a pretty good singer

[berlinmitte10117]

Bloody SMG removed the non-Vevo version of this so we are subjected to adverts. Swine. Scroll down until you see just the advert clock above the bottom of the screen, flip sound off, wait until the ad is over, scroll up and enable sound and you get what you came for. Oh to go back to the original You Tube days. Feckin' ads!

[TheSammy15z]

Jason Derulo's a copy cat

[IceCaller01]

This song is so hypnotizing, I had heard it long before Jason Derulo's Whatcha Say. I saw him accept an award for this song and he didn't give any credit to Imogen Heap for his song being such a hit. Whenever you sample someone's music, credit should always be given to that person in interviews and etc. No excuse justifies her not being mentioned. 

[tjkscarface]

at 1:46 i thought she says "O those box of beer on the wall, where pleasure moments hung before.."

[Maltorf05]

The narrowness of the video makes it look like it was shot with an iPhone held vertically :D The song is amazing though. So much emotion that's not portrayed through the Jason Derulo song.

[yojodenz]

why do i have the urge to dubstep this?



[TeHuHa]

I think they recorded this with a blow dryer.

[luv4myboyzz]

go



[icetec1337]

FUCK JASON DERULO!!!

[JpD0407]

Forget 2:52 and 1:46, I'm here for 0:00-4:26.

[arralynne159]

So much better than Jason Derulo. So much more emotion.

[MARC2649]

wow amzing her voice with the playback voice audiotune

bravo!!!!!!!

[oogle78]

Lame song.

[megankimmio]

That sexy dissonance... Such pretty chords...

[GeorgieBiggin]

This song gives me goosebumps.

[Headphones1453]

Fuck 2:52, I'm here for 1:46 <3

[DianaCoveney]

so to everyone hating on this. shes singing without music. what sounds like a key board in the background is actually kind of a echo of her voice in way. she doesn't use auto tune she uses a voice box of sorts connected to a microphone, i bet your dumb ass musicians that you love wouldn't think to do something so creative.

[Dylaannnnn]

@MrLifeRec

yeah jason sampled it from her but it doesnt matter because this even sound like a song it just sounds like someone whispering things i cant understand for four minuets

[worldofdanib]

I love Ariana's version <3

[worldofdanib]

Like if you found this song because of Ariana <3

[AtlUpload]

one of the best songs ever made, the top comments can go die.

[ossi43]

@AtlUpload Thank you! Fuck the top comments...

[jkash0702]

@AtlUpload little ironic

[TheCooltrix]

@AtlUpload you can go die now...

[davebeck8]

Dumbasses, it's not stealing, it's called "sampling" which is a practice in the music industry that's been around for many years. Go read a book or Wikipedia article.

[Dylaannnnn]

ur right jason stole this from her but it still sounds awful so it doesnt matter :D

[Nazgul100]

@Dylaannnnn you think this sounds awful? Man you sure have a different taste in music than I do.

[AidanFirmLegend]

@Dylaannnnn are you kidding? this is an amazing song. Imogen heap has more talent than every single shit that gets played on the radio combined... She is an amazing musician

[Q25Briggs]

fantastic song...... just out of interest.... what genre would you say this is?

I'm finding it hard to place

[Nazgul100]

@Q25Briggs I would simply refer to it as, beautiful. I dont think there is enough songs like this to give the genre its own title.

[CharlesBurtonChannel]

MKUltra

[gophermandmb]

Thumbs up if you got here from watching bunny videos!

[SoulReaperSlayer19]

Now this is music, i agree screw jason derulo, he just auto-tunes and takes peoples music, i would love to see him try to steal eminem's music....

[Dylaannnnn]

@SoulReaperSlayer19

This is autotuned too and she stole this from jason. this isn't music this shit is nasty.

[Babeessx3]

@Dylaannnnn she stole this from jason? omg are you kidding? pahah what a joke

[xxaquilaxx]

@Babeessx3 lmao u dumbassss..jason stole the extract of her song....have u not noticed how her voice is identical to that of the voice in jason derulo song...Oh ...maybe its because its the same person!

[Babeessx3]

@xxaquilaxx lmfao!!!!!! i was saying that she stole it? i put are you kidding that she stole it from jason, because jason took this song from her. so i suggest you learn how to fucking read you stupid fucking cunt :) x

[TheTaylorNicolee]

@Dylaannnnn Are you stupid? Just check out the years both songs were made... This song was made way before anyone even knew who Jason was. He stole it from her, and gave her zero credit. Total. Bullshit.

[MrLifeRec]

@Dylaannnnn hate to point this out but this was released in 2005 so she couldn't have stolen it from jason derulo... sorry

[GrahamNificent]

@Dylaannnnn No.... Jason stole it from her. And this is beautiful.

[Thezaina13]

I love the song, but I'm wondering why it looks like the music video was filmed on an ipod nano...?

[lilypad797]

LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!

[emf56]

Hate on me all you want but I didn't even know this song existed until SNL. Fuck the O.C and Fuck Jason Derulo

[Nazgul100]

@emf56 why would people hate you for that? I feel glad for you since it made you discover this beautiful song.

[emf56]

@Nazgul100 lol some people would say that I'm not a "true fan" or that i'm naive for not knowing this was the original song

[M5Nland]

amazing!

[bandddgeekk]

Thumbs up if you think "Hide And Seek" , "Creep" -By Bluecoats Marching Band , and "Who Are You" would be an amazziinngg choice of songs for my band show in 2012 :D

[bandddgeekk]

WE MIGHT BE DOING THIS SONG FOR MARCHING BAND! DUDEEEEE, YOU KNOW HOW FREAKINNN AWESOME THAT WOULD BE! :D

[LaxD11]

@bandddgeekk You're doing a 100% vocal song for your marching band?

[mannyapplebottom]

lol i came looking for this song because of GUMMY :D

[bagofspoons12]

looks like the girl from pair of kings

[banjoist123]

One woman, a keyboard and Vocoder. Simply amazing.

[brightesttreearound]

Imogen is a genius. How about she brought me here because I have decent taste in music. Jason Derulo had no business tainting such a beautiful song.

[ryandallarosa13]

THUMBS UP IF YOU WAITED 2:52

[geoFRI3D]

@ryandallarosa13 you can't even imagine how xD + enjoyed whole song )p

[84561237456123]

@ryandallarosa13 no i came to listen to the whole thing

[bandddgeekk]

@ryandallarosa13 i came here to watch the whole thing..

[SodapopSays]

@ryandallarosa13 go listen to the stupid rap cover, then.

[lukeagex]

Maybe people would like me if I attached a synthesiser to my voice box.

[MrZootSuitz]

@lukeagex

And had talent to compose something that sounds decent.

[FreekinEkin2]

Pyramid Head brought me here :p

[PCBHLOVER]

puts me to sleep.... zzzzzzz

[cutieonfire123abc1]

-.-

[cutieonfire123abc1]

HORRIBLE SHIT!

[Dylaannnnn]

@cutieonfire123abc1

YES.

[atouchoffabulosis33]

Our chamber choir is singing this in five part harmony:) its amazing!

[ineptandinsane]

@atouchoffabulosis33 I am so excited for that. the harmonies are gorgeous. and challenging and just awesome!

[massshysteria]

sorry guys but i have to do this.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM WATCHA SAY...................

[aaronturkey]

@AmiraMaruf yes

[DanielBerettaKalash]

I love Imogen

[VentriloServer]

LIKE IF CSI BROUGHT YOU HERE!

[groovyhydro]

Beavis: "heh huh heh . . its like . .pretty windy there"

Butthead: "Yepp . . musst be from all thossse sssSewing machines huhhuhhuhhh"

[qualitycontrol22]

Personally I find the original version to be superior.

Originally the lyrics were "trains and washing machines."

Sewing machines is good but washing machines is just more, like, you know, timeless

[333krispy]

@qualitycontrol22 im wondering how its more timeless when the sewing machine was invented WAY before the washing machine

[DanJM14]

Like if you just searched for the fucking song because you have nothing better to do.

[HynMayProductions]

@DanJM14 I searched for it because I like this song. ;)

-HMP

[BeezEntertainments]

@HynMayProductions The title is hide and seek, dumbass. He made a joke.

[DomeSeptic]

Like if The O.C. Brought you here!

[FosterTheMackenzie]

Like if Destery brought you here

[infoadonisrecords]

What has to be appreciated about this video is the complete collaboration of artist, producer, engineer, video crew, wardrobe staff and everyone else involved. the finished product is flawless!!! the overall talent of everyone connected with this video should be celebrated!

.

[tonyvice6661616]

@infoadonisrecords Holy Jesus,why can't more people be like you and appreciate all of this effort!

[sumsumblue123]

jason derulo only stole a couple lyrics

[BabblingCrap]

@sumsumblue123 Yeah, the best ones.

[jordankriese]

@sumsumblue123 yeah. He also stole the catchiest part of the song. Would have been garbage without this sample.

[Radinati0n]

Lied to by another girl today...this is the only thing that helps.

[snappleandgravy]

jason derulo "stole" it

[Penfoldex]

@snappleandgravy its called sampling

[malcolmosih101]

reminds me of my ex :')

[SnoopsNumber1Chick]

One of the few songs that speaks to the heart. Can make me cry so easily, and the music is almost all her voice...

amazing.

[SejMac]

no one stole this from anyone. Jason Derulo SAMPLED it, thats different from stealing, smdh.

[ThatGamerboi]

2:53 is what i wanted.

[donkeyrash]

cant believe she stole this song from jason derulo

[DrMatban]

@donkeyrash I see what you did there!

[LikeaBAWS88]

@donkeyrash She didn't, he stole it from her.

[GunStreets]

@donkeyrash

look at the date idiot

it says: Hide And Seek. (C) 2005

There was no Jason Derulo back then

[TheAmity9]

@donkeyrash LOL fucking idiot

[MrRahulramki]

@donkeyrash cant tell if ur trolling or a plain idiot.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Lol. Has anyone else seen "The Shooting" skit on SNL?

I can't take this song seriously.

[RawrOrRoar]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green LOL IKR.



[FreaksFreakout]

I believe this is more a vocoder than it is Auto-Tune...

[maddcat0]

Jason Derulo can go to hell for not mentioning Imogen Heap in the title of "Whatcha Say"! >:(

[NASkeywest]

@maddcat0 Fear not SOPA will catch jason Derulo for his trechery

[banjoist123]

This is what Autotune was designed for! Absolutely beautiful.

[spiritfrommyhell666]

wait it out is so much better then this...

[ninalurv]

so much freaking better than "watcha say"

this is beautiful

[InformerMaz]

@Autoumny Good luck, okay? :)

[TugaSkits]

2:53 

[84561237456123]

@TugaSkits sorry i came here to listen to the whole song not just that part

[TugaSkits]

@84561237456123 where's the question? 

[74236nine]

looks like it was filmed on an iphone haha

[PCBHLOVER]

@74236nine ? why lol i dont have an iphone :o

[pickle699]

@74236nine what if it was that would be epic

[pickle699]

@pickle699 lol

[cybrhick]

Not autotune folks.

[misspinkskittle]

This looks like it was recorded with a flip phone.

[SuperSpecialChicken]

scip to MMMM WACHA SAY: 2:52

[TheDarkside1998]

thumps up if u are here because of the "mmm whatcha say"

[sallakat]

love this song <3

[PWNtheHILL]

The lyrics of this are related to the way President Bush treated the 9/11 attacks

[wizaidofwest]

@PWNtheHILL OMG it's like when you see the twin towers on the back of the 20 dollar bill for the first time!

[PWNtheHILL]

Guys, this isn't autotuned. What you are hearing is called a Vocoder. It takes audio and passes it through a synthesiser which adds effects to the voice and produces a Synth accompiament. It's not the voice which is autotuned, it's the synth accompiament!

[thexproxnoob]

@PWNtheHILL That is practically autotune, without the "tune"

[omgwingiraffe]

such a beautiful song with an amazing meaning, love it :) <3

[TNC408]

wtf is this shit

[gameguyARMZ]

@TNC408 LMAO that's what your mom said when you were born xD

Jks lol.

[TNC408]

@gameguyARMZ Lol

[Sam2life]

@gameguyARMZ OHHHHH That just made my day haha

[ossi43]

@gameguyARMZ hahaha I have to clean up, I was drinking

[charliebowler]

Was this filmed with an iPod?

[Mellow9Productions]

Big fan of your work! Check out our page. If you are touring in the UK, we would love to scoop you (do a little vid promo/interview). Keep it Mellow 9.

[DemonShuriken87]

@Mellow9Productions you're kidding, right? Dude, Imogen is HUGE over there. If she was touring, you would know. You would have better luck getting her on twitter. She actually talks to people there. 

[BabeCalculator]

i was like cool song, then noticed there is almost no background music only at end

Epic

[ilolatchu]

omg is that butterfly alive? QQ

[krnannable]

this song is soo pure ty

[juble3]

my favorite part is the part leading up to 2:35 and 2:35

[juble3]

this song is amazing

[TaylorMousse]

I've never listened to a song that's actually good without accompanying instruments. And I love this song.

[BrowniieeDoll]

This song reminds me so much of The O.C. love itt

[JoyDivisiongirl]

the autotune is not used in this song to disguise a so called 'bad' voice,it is used to enhance the sound of the words..there is a big difference. love this song so much.

[randomgal1322]

@JoyDivisiongirl IKR! If she was she'd try to hide the fact that she was using autotune.

[Apacofish666]

@JoyDivisiongirl

It's called a vocoder, it's where they use piano notes to match up with her voice... not autotune.

[kamikaze90watermelon]

@JoyDivisiongirl not autotune. vocoder.

[theDUWOteam]

@JoyDivisiongirl it's a vocoder, not autotune though.

[TheGroovyChannel]

@JoyDivisiongirl

Exactly, like Woods by Bon Iver.

[WilleWallinHerrdin]

2:51 part you probably came here for!

[ilovevansshoes111]

that awkward moment when the singer looks like your math teacher O.o

[JosephVStalinII]

This + Rainy Mood. Fits, nearly too well.

[Oiraeket]

Very little art is particularly original in this day and age; that's natural - in the space of an art the limitations imposed define it as, say, 'music' ensure that possibilities are exhaustive. Imogen Heap is an incredible intelligent and innovative artist; we should celebrate that her art is relateable across genres, not bemoaning Derulo's own artistry in bringing this trans-genre.

You cannot ruin art - the original shall always exist to be enjoyed. Art is subjective always; open your mind.

[Kaylesa]

@Oiraeket Good words. Although don't think of art in terms of originality. The idea was made up by Kant around the time he formulated the concept of Genius.

[ywjxing]

if there wasnt so much voice fixing this song would be much better.

[CarnivalBox]

@ywjxing it's not that she autotunes or 'fixes' her voice, she just recorded her own voice so many times that it sounds like autotune. It's only her voice and the harmonica.

[DemonShuriken87]

@ywjxing the 'voice fixing' is actually part of the song. If you didn't notice, there's no background music. She did that on purpose. She wanted the words to be important. Also, it's layering. She's layering her voice over and over, like she does for the live version of Just For Now, and then ran it through a synth. It's not auto tune at all.

[ywjxing]

why am i crying?

[SHYNE623K]

Most People Will Never Know Exactly What This Song is About.

[Edparreira]

@SHYNE623K what is it about anyway?

[Agro9964]

Who came here because of Pheonix Wrong the movie?

[mysticdaniel]

this song is so heartbreaking. I love her voice in this. It was a good idea for her to use a vocoder to sing it, it really bring the melody together beautifully. This should have won an award...

[SameOldThing321]

Doesnt get to the popular part till 2:43

[heretic211]

its so so sad that jason derulo's piece of shit abomination of a song has over 100 million views but this mind alteringly beautiful song only has 5. i love you imogen its moments like this that redifine my soul and restore my faith in humanity.

[VandalFTW]

lol everyone saying that it looks like it was filmed with an ipod it makes it that much better imo

[fallen4zero1]

dubstep version is better haa.. but this one is alright 

[reelpinoy]

hmmmmm what cha sayyyyyy

[tatilove92]

go to urban outfitters. see shirt i like. look at price tag. 2:52

This video was mad
