  • Kanye do a pair of ears a fav and don't sing bro...  you may pull it with w.e. crap you may rhyme with, but do not disrespect that which we lose last... our ear sense.

    You suck at singing.

    and pretty much the rest too.. my 6 year old bro can write better than you man.

  • y'all that are saying that auto tune is shit,put yourselves in his shoes.if you had a message so passionate to u and u wanna let it out and the only way u can do that is by singin a lil,wudn't u auto tune it?listen to the message please!!don't be criticize even when u dnt need to.you don't forget that kanye is a rapper.you don't expect a rapper to sing like trey songz and ola dat.don't argue without valid reasons.

  • @MrChiyungi That piece of shit needs to have more musical talent if he's going to win all of the awards and make so much money.

  • 808s was great. Yeah, he uses auto-tune. The first time his friend showed it to him, he just fell in love with it. That's why I love Kanye. He's fucking passionate. It shows in his music.

  • Man i love kanye sooo much...he's so sexy and a cool ass dude..I wish i knew someone like him

  • @candygirl5823 i agree, but back of he's mine haha jk

  • Anyone who talks shit about Kanye is a fucking idiot. he is a real fucking musician, one of the few ones still left out there. Yes, he uses autotune alot but his music has real meaning. also 808's and heartbreak was probs his best album. his old shit was great but this album had so much meaning too it. mad respect to Kanye.

  • Kanye can't sing that is why he dissed Taylor.

  • @spicecrop you're just mad cause you can't attack his rapping skills, at least his lyrics aren't mediocre

  • OMG, he's SHIT! LOL rebeca black is better than this!

  • @NeonGamer1000 gtfo you dirtface troll. go listen to rebecca black then fuckin loser ass.

  • Comment removed

  • @NeonGamer1000 you must be a taylor swift fan... foh

  • he cant sing bahhahahahaahha,he needs voice editing

  • #FACT

    Kanye West Has Changed Hip-Hop

  • hi :) this is V.I.B.E. also known as Vigorous Ice Blue Eyes

    We are a rapping-singing duo of two freshmen and we love Fort Minor, Eminem, and Kanye. If you like any of these acts, please take a look at our channel and tell us what we need to work on, lyrics, flow, melody, production, anything you think could help us in our goal of making better music for you :D

    Thanks for your time :)

  • Kanye West is a muthafuckin GENIUS!!!

  • did he get robed before this performance?

  • still a better singer than will.i.am snm

  • HOLY FUCK! :O

    I LOVE YOU <3

  • gay fish yaooo

  • Autotune is the reason that these talentless bastards are in the music business.

    Oh, and the fact they all think they're fucking gangsters.

    "Give the people shit and they will eat it"

  • @forsoup kanye west is very talented, all his albums have been both financially and critically successful

    he only used auto-tuned on this album also, (808s & heartbreak, which is the only one he sings rather than rap), you must have him confused with kesha

    critics dont eat shit either, but whenever i see troll posts like yours, i always wonder since you call this shit, what kind of "better" music youd have to offer... care to share?

  • @forsoup........ listen to his 5th album 'my beautiful dark twisted fantasy', an album that was universally praised as a masterpiece. You'll probably find your reason for calling him talentless is that he's going down in history and your not.

    he's a MUSICIAN and your a MAGGOT!!!!

  • @okonkwoikemefuna He sings through a machine because he cannot hit the notes himself. He talks more than he sings. His lyrics are not deep.

    Some media will call him a great, but those of us who appreciate actual instruments, emotion, and singers will realise that he is simply not.

    He's your classic face of MTV - wears shades when he is not outside, thinks he rules the world and thinks women and money is everything.

    I often wonder, have you ever listened to anything outside of the charts?

  • @forsoup the whole point of using auto tune was to show the emotion in the songs, especially as he is not a singer and this album was about losing his mother and breaking up with his girlfriend and was completely different to anything else he had ever done.

    so to say he only cares about money is clearly wrong when he could have released a rap album and made far much more than he did from this album, which in fact many fans criticized due to the fact it was him singing.

  • @forsoup as far as lyrics and caring about women & money go listen to 'Jesus walks, roses, heard em say, through the wire' to name a few the meaning in these songs is far beyond this.

    As far as instruments go watch Late Orchestration and tell me he does not appreciate instruments, if you cant be bothered i'll tell you, he raps with a orchestra at abbey road.

    He may not appeal to you as a person or musician, but at least have the decency to respect what he brings to music.

  • @forsoup u are retarded if u think this about Kanye its like the opposite.

  • @forsoup

    I know I'm not in the conversation, but this just bothered me. I don't listen to anything on any charts, really. I prefer anything not mainstream. Gregory & the Hawk, The Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, Meg & Dia, Laura Marling are all some of my favorite bands. But Heartless is one of my favorite songs. I think it's one of the best written songs in a long time, and I also believe that Kanye West is amazingly talented. Don't be so quick to judge people. We all have opinions.

  • he is so bad

  • This sucks.........It's more of an instrumental.

  • up till about :19 he wasnt using any autotune...i didnt think it was that bad. He just isnt the most amazing singer, but i stil think hes good, for someone who became famous as rapper. He just sometimes sings out of key and cant hit high notes. The auto tune just gies you perfect tone or something

  • @soxfan91293 wrong. the entire thing has autotune on it. that's why he sound mechanical

  • @kisscatastrophe hes singing over it. his mic isnt using autotune the whole time. who cares, hes great

  • @kisscatastrophe he used auto-tune in his album to compensate his lack of singing ability

    why wouldnt he use it live? he admitted he couldnt without it, being a rapper not a singer, but still managed to pull it off

    lets see katy perry/kesha/taylor swift/lady gaga try their hand at rapping

  • I want that jacket soo bad to bad he his pastelle didnt come out

  • fuck i thought i would be able to hear him without auto tune shit... but he's singing along to it in the background.

  • Okay, it wasent bad, but i think i could do better on singstar ;)

  • Do you like fish sticks?

  • They shoulda had the violins like this in the studio version.

  • that intro is amazing....like the studio version should be like that

  • kayne is a black austin powers, thumbs up if you agree

  • he seems rapping more than singing his verses...IMO

  • i've heard him sing before so he can sing lol

  • THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Stardragon612 well if hes trying to get closer to the studio version and he had to use auto tune for the studio version then clearly he cant sing dont get me wrong hes a great rapper but i think he should leave the singing to the singers he colaborates with! its just my opinion like and its not just kanye i just dont think its right that people with real singing talent cant break through because people are using auto tune

  • @TheMikeyoshea

    I see where you are coming from but I don't think autotune = talentless straight away.

    I'd prefer to hear this without autotune as it's the current fad going around and I feel it lets artists down but for certain songs it can add something.

    However, I'd like to hear less autotune as I think the sound is overdone now...T-Pain should be the only dude with autotune...Because he is on a boat...

  • @Zedfragg i agree that in certain songs it can help with the over all impact of the song but when used in parts and in moderation i mean you woldnt listen to a guitarist using a wah pedle for every note he plays during a song! and its most definatly keeping T-pains boat afloat! haha

  • in the very beggining thats him, and i dont hear any autotune...he uses autotune so he can give a better performace, or atleast one thats closer to the studio song, not because he cant sing

  • sure kanye can sing, just not very well. he hasnt got a great range and you can see here when he cant sing any higher he drops down and distracts from this fact by throwing his arms around dramatically or shouting as if hes trying to portray the "emotion" the song. auto tune is evil!!! plus he likes fishsticks

  • @TheMikeyoshea

    the man is a rapper, not a singer. How come you don't understand that?

  • @SjuaatteniTi If thats the case then why does he try to sing?

  • Comment removed

  • 3:40 and beyond is just amazing.. My ears quit bleeding and my nausea subsides.

  • ah man kanye sounds so good hes always on tune..... o wait...

  • 3:25 and beyond is just amazing.. I get chills and goosebumps. Just look at the emotion.. damn.

  • cause you know that im gay fish gay fish yo

  • KANYE IS BEAST

  • @TheRokerrr ya BEASTIALITY the gay fish

  • wow this is the best version out there. the strings during the chorus are amazing.

  • nice autotune

  • #KanyeWho? HEz JUST A LITTLE PRETENTIOUS PRODUCT IRRELEVANT CUNT.

  • he sucks live

  • @TaroGabunia

    kanye is porbably one of the best rappers live. have you ever seen him live? i've seen hova, drake, lil wayne, nas and eminem live and NONE of them can touch kanye live.

  • @Mega3vil i agree that kanye's one of the best rappers alive but eminem is better live. have watched 2010 grammy's drop the world and forever

  • @Mega3vil

    Come on - Em is fucking awesome live. Kanye is good too, but you cannot say that Eminem can't tough him live.

  • Those strings in the chorus are every. damn thing.

    Thumbs up if you agree.

  • I like kanye but, Rush and Van Halen and that stuff are better, go ahead, thumbs down my comment

  • FUCK YALL HATERS. FUCK OFF AND FUCK YALL LIFE. BORED ASS FUCKERS.

  • i cant beleive ho well he sang this. i mean,hes a rapper but he sang it beatuifly.

    i remember raising the volume to 100 when it came on lol]

  • i cant beleive ho well he sang this. i mean,hes a rapper but he san it beatuifly.

    i remember raising the volume to 100 when it came on lol

  • gay fish.

  • why he didnt sing the last part? its great...but still great kanye

  • kanye west. good music. but hes an ass.

  • I love Kanye songs :)

    I just think he is wayy too arrogant :/

  • "I decided we weren't gonna speak so, why we up 3 am on the phone?"

    i kno right.. its always like that..

  • I expected more from kanye, most of all he's outta tune even though autotune is actually on.. Maybe his voice was tired or something, but some parts really sound bad :(

    Check my little cover too.. Peace

  • I don't even like this kind of music, but these lyrics are epic...

  • @xStrae :D checkowt the heartless cover on my channel! :D

  • Oh and I don't necessarily mean this song is sexist (which is why I put "this music" generalizing as in all music similar to this song) but a lot of it is sexist. Also I think its ridiculous that some songs mention that they have "50 bathrooms" or something stupid like that. Like I give a shit about how much money they have off of using a voice editing software and writing mediocre lyrics. :3

  • I hate this kind of music for lots of valid reasons :3 those are: The excessive use of auto-tune (A.K.A. the boycott to talent). l would like to see every popular rap/R & B/hiphop/pop artist that uses auto tune make a completely autotuneless album and we'll see the ones that actually do have talent. I also don't consider them musicians because they never actually play an instrument. I also hate this music because of its blatant sexism towards women and utterly egotistical lyrics.

  • @random0fox

    Composers don't generally "play" instruments....

    The song is good man, I mean hell Dylan can't sing a lick. Auto-tune would not have made his words mean any less.

  • @alexwilsonNC Well how bout having something called "originality" every pop singer and their mothers are using autotune and all this music sounds exactly the same because all singers have the same pitch perfect robot voice. Oh and by Dylan I'm guessing you mean Bob Dylan which he has had originality and he couldn't sing but he didn't edit his voice he kept it as it is and sung as an actual human. Autotune is the death of originality and music in general. eh I kinda liked humans in my music.

  • Kanye is a lyrical genius i could care less if he could sing or not kanye is a great artist but a terrible person

  • Kanye couldn't sing.and it was 2008.now he is way better believe me :))

  • ok i love kanye and everything but no offense he doesnt sound the best right here! he only really sounds good in studio! love him tho

  • How could you be so Jealous hahaha

    Kanye Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­st

  • kanye is the best, i wanna marry him hehe

  • Heart's heartless is much better

  • @WeavileLady hahahahahahaha youre funny

    I bet you like roxette right?

  • I can not say I do not like singing live?ok, ym simple opinion.. better listening or recording studio version.

  • fatal, kanye is cool but u sing and voice in live is bad, I prefered u music from studio

  • @jac3d Speech fail! That was not proper grammar at all. You like sound a retard!

  • @SDF5150 so fucking what ? thats your argument... bad grammar... I get so pissed when poepl (almost always women) try to discredit something someone is saying because of bad grammar or spelling..... thats not important... what is is important is the validity of what the person is saying........ WORTHLESS FUCKAS!!!!

  • @DiosanXaquerry You spelled people wrong

  • @SDF5150 ha,..... you think i going get cauht in that trap... youwrong.. i ent getting upset or whatever... peace to you and your grammtaically correct bullshit,,,, which is still bullshit no matter how grammatically correct it is

  • @DiosanXaquerry Ok you spelled caught wrong, there needs to be a space between you and wrong. Ent is not a word, it should be I AM not getting upset. Grammtaically is not a word. Oh, and you should start capitalizing your I's.

  • @SDF5150 lol... you are thorough waste of time

  • FIRE!

  • without autotune he isnt as shitty as people say actually hes not bad i might even say i wish i could sing like him :]

  • Kanye's Bitter Sweet on def poetry is dope. It shows that he's not a bad singer, but he's not amazing, so stop hating. I don't really like auto tune, but at least his lyrics had some substance on this song. It isn't an auto tune song like T-Pain's reverse cowgirl. As long as the lyrics are good i don't mind auto tune.

  • Kanye is the shit, don't like him, shut up and get off his jock

  • Kanye is great !

  • they have to fire this camera man

  • About the autotune, I really feel that it's more of an instrument than an actual aid. I feel he used it in his songs to get a more electronic sound he wanted, not because he couldn't sing.

  • @zazamaf no. no he just cant sing

  • @sUiCiD3AZT I bet you can though...so lets see..kanye writing, producing, rapping and singing is nowheer near as taented as you are right? you fucking hater shut the fuck up and go listen to something you like. cunt.

  • @zazamaf second that its for effect not actually becausr they want to be perfectly in tune

  • @Maximusstriker exactly! Autotune was designed for subtle effect, this is using it creatively! which is really cool! People like Squarepusher and Brain Eno use it as well! they are abstract musicians no one would even question about using it to "cheat"! It's just another sonic possibility and sounds great when used right!

  • Listen to Kanye in forever, better than Taylor Swift. No Auto-Tune.

  • That doesn't even make sense....That's like saying Michael Jordan is better than Tiger Woods. You're talking about 2 different genres.

  • @Nightelfyo He raps in Forever?

  • @ElliotCarver2 Yeah... I dont really like rap much anymore... which sucks that my comment is upped so much haha... But yeah, he raps and I believe does a little singing in that song. Not 100 percent about the singing though.

  • i wish i had dior shades :(

  • however in this performance, the autotune seemed to have kicked in after 20 seconds

  • He sounded quite good. He has sung before without the autotune.

  • If he sucked then how is he #1 for 2009???

  • @tbone6424

    Because people are fucking retarded.

  • people like u are fuckin retarded for denying the fact the kanye west is a great artist

  • It's ridiculous how people say shit like "he can't sing" or whatever. He sang a little in his previous albums without the help of auto-tune. It sounded alright to me. I'll always have mad love for KanYe.

    Every single fucking video I go to on this site has people bickering about stupid shit. If you really don't like him, don't search for his YouTube videos. No one cares how shitty you think he is. I think he makes amazing music. That's my opinion. Always will be.

  • man finally a kanye west fan everything u said is 1million% right!

  • @wearealljazznoise totally agree i mean haters should only look at him in the studio and realise what a genius he is because most rappers dont produce their own tracks but he does and he produces beats for other rappers and artist alike like JayZ and Lil Wayne.

  • @jonneyb1316 exactly. i honestly think 'ye is better than jay-z overall. and lil wayne? booooooooooooo.

  • @wearealljazznoise yea thought id give lil wayne a mention but i hate him i dont think hes any goo at all.. and as for comparing any of them to Ye no chance Ye is in a different league.

  • @wearealljazznoise yea i agree haters should just watch him in the studio and they see how good he is he is one of only a few mainstream artists who produce his own music most artists come to Kanye to make him produce a beat for them eg JayZ and Lil Wayne.

  • @wearealljazznoise he should just rap he really can't sing that well even spaceship was just barley acceptably

  • @wearealljazznoise he does make cool songs! i gotta agree with you on that one but he is a terrible singer. i have been singing for almost 10 years and kanye cannot sing. he is what you called tone deaf. its not his fault. a person who is tone deaf cannot really improve their singing. i just am kinda upset because people like him....who honestly have ZERO talent...are made into superstars for basically doing nothing. a few hours in the studio and ANYONE cant sound great. just saying.

  • @StevenCharelsReilly ehh, i wouldn't say kanye is tone deaf. he's a producer, a phenomenal one at that. he obviously knows how to make good sounds, good melodies, etc. he just doesn't have the voice to match the notes he hears in his head. unlike most mainstream "artists" who use auto-tune, he actually does work. i.e. producing and writing lyrics with depth. not trying to argue, i just don't believe mr. west has zero talent.

  • autotune is cheating.. nuff said

  • @YoshitsuneBenkai it's not all about the singing idiot read the top comment he has alot of talent.

  • @LapKidProductions yea mr troll i didnt insult him in any way i didnt mean to.. but well anyone can sound good with autotune.. plus why bother commenting on something i commented 1 month ago.. mostly ppl dont care bout idiots like you but since you insulted me i aint gonna let this one slip.. kanye west has more pride in his little pinky and more guts than your whole family, he keeps on singing even tho he uses autotune and people saying he cheats or whatever..

  • @LapKidProductions and another thing.. stay in your mothers lap kid because the way you call people idiots for no reason is going to get your ass creamed someday..

    i never sayed he has no talent and yes it may be not about the singing only but it is a great part of everything in the music industry.. maybe i even like kanye but autotune is still cheating no matter what..

  • @YoshitsuneBenkai wow you dont even know what you're saying all you're doing is trying to sound smart " is going to get your ass creamed "? haha 1. i'm calling people idiots for a reason because they are idiots (you) 2. no one is going to come to my house from the internet you fool..

  • @LapKidProductions no i honestly didnt try to make sense.. i just tried trolling on someone for no reason.. to see if it would get you pissed off..

  • @LapKidProductions god how i love to troll on you

  • @wearealljazznoise the point is he does not have a good singing voice. That being said, with his style of music, its irrelevent because of autotune but also because he actually comes up with good melodies that back it up well. I dont like him personally and i think he cant sing, but songs like this one makes me respect him nonetheless.

  • @wearealljazznoise thats caus ewhen you use auto tune your ment to sing out thats how the device works

  • @wearealljazznoise kayne west sucks he always uses autotune

  • @MrThenFamous ur fucking stupid

  • man kanye sux big donkey bALLS he cant sing for Sh#t. thank god for kanye theres AUTOTUNE....

  • i love this version, it actually sounds real

  • This is one of the most epic performances I've seen in a while

  • i think everyone already knew that...also the fact that hes a rapper not a singer, you cant deny the fact that he is a great lyricist and indeed a talented musician, its clear you never heard his previous records

  • Kanye West is the best!

  • seriously country cant be compared to hiphop!!!

    and kanye is one of the best of its kind , cant understand how can someone like country over THIS

  • he was right with beyonce so shut the fuck up taylor fans idiots all KANYE IS FUCKIN BEST

  • for all you haters, if kanye west never wrote this song and performed it, all of these other fags would not be covering it. If you think the frays version is better.. then why dont you go listen to that instead of talkin shit, stupid people these days

  • i agree...that damn taylor swift shit got ppl hatin on kanye..this is hip hop at its best..!!!!!!!!

  • Kanye's great. No matter what im always gunna like him some what-

  • Great Performance!

  • Gay fish.

  • That's getting pretty old. grow up. cus saying that is getting GAY. most of the people that said that already moved on from that.

  • What Eveeryone needds to understand 1- He's Not a singer, he's a rapper 2- yes he used autotune and cant sing without it but it still is a VERY popular song and topped at second on the US billboard and thats out of ALL songs played in the US, and to no offense to taylor but I didn't even know who she was before the vmas so he kinda helped her in a way...and also made himself look like an even bigger asshole haha

  • i agree...just a white girl who didnt make it in the country world so she crossed over..

  • this version sucks

  • F*CK YOU ALL KANYE IS THE BOMBbBB

  • @djkiller2003 :D checkowt the heartless cover on my channel! :D

  • the fray's version is alot better, much more passionate and sad...This one is stupid...even though it's his song LOL

  • well it ISNT the Fray's song is it. It's kanye's and at the same time u watched it. So techically thats a dumb thing to say

  • ya'll some gullable country ass muthafuckaz..how is the frays version more passionate..wtf..the song is about a heartless woman..basically a gold digger that hip hop artist always seem to bump into..the fray wouldnt know shit bout that.! FAGSS

  • Taylor Swifts better , but leave him alone when he interrupted Taylor his mom just died .

  • she didnt 'just' die, and thats no excuse, but still. i support kanye. :)

  • omg iHate dumb ass comments like "oh he cant sing, he's talentless" ! C'mon, HE DID THE WHOLE TRACK HIS OWN !! He produced the beat, he wrote his own lyrics and recorded & performed it ? so what can you accomplish ? whoa !!

  • well people thnk he sucks becuase he usses auto tune which is for people who cant sing

  • I love how he can't sing without fucking autotune. Fucking talentless shits in popular music.

  • He's not a singer. He raps. he can rap without autotune. sing? well, it depends what kind of 'singing' your into. quit hating and move on terminxman.

  • Lol Kanye is One Of The Bests Mang.Idk what your talking about
