  • @jdnesbeth27 easy bro

  • The xx!

  • I love this song! Im learning the words too it (:

  • sorry,what is xx? °-°

  • @meryfottpop Original: The XX - Intro (example: /watch?v=olJnuULMo94)

  • I'm here because I wanted to know which sample it was (:

  • *from

  • Fucking bitch stole form the xx

  • OMG.....

    intro - the Xx!!!!!!!

    i love it so fucking much. i love this song because of the Xx!

  • I´m a the xx fan and I think this is rihannas best song ever. Love it!

  • i don't understand. if you don't like the song, listen to another one... no-one cares about your opinion... just shows how little it matters cus everyone knows who rihanna is and sorry, who is the xx?

  • @lejames1594 "no-one cares about your opinions" coming from the individual expressing their opinions. Ironic, or perhaps just asinine.

  • JESUS CHRIST you xx fans are annoying. I love the xx but you represent them horribly. How does Rihanna sampling their song (with their complete approval) 'ruin' the song? If you don't like this version go listen to the original intro, it's not like when rihanna made this one the original just disappeared.

  • I can't wait to cover this. I love rihanna! #TEAMRIHANNANAVY BABY!

  • This Made Me Cry Idkk Why..

  • I LOVE This Song! Sooo Catchy & Sweet -3

  • i love rihanna... and thiss song... yall should check out my channel...AND shut dah hell upp bout the XX

  • Comment removed

  • The XX are getting paid so if they're not complaining, why the fuck do you people think you have the right to bitch about her 'stealing' a song that isn't even yours.

    ....The XX are getting publicity and their cut of the proceeds. They stfu so maybe you guys should too. Oh, and this song is as shit as the one she sampled from.

  • awesome song

  • Stupid bitch... can't come up with her own shit, so she had to steal it from the xx.

    ... fuck you.

  • who is XX?

  • @keezleez is a band put on youtube XX-intro

  • Wow she turned a good song into a shit song. Not cool

  • my favorite song from the album!!! love it

  • she colborated with The XX dumbasses

  • why dont youtube deteled ur video ? :s lucky

  • @juncodelrio15 If you don't realize the audio is slightly pitched.

  • it's playing on repeat...

  • this sounds incredible...... :D

  • Love it - sounds like a hit to me.

  • Love this song so much! Probably a future single! Read for TTT to come out so I can go buy this!

  • Idk who xx is but I'm pretty sure she gave credit she gave credit to Michael for don't stop the music

  • SHE RUINED THE MUSIC OMFG idc if she took credit or not, but why sing to this song out of all songs

  • Stop being so cynical, she's obviously gonna credit The xx, to be honest it just gives an amazing band more exposure and I like the way she's developed the song - look at Shakira's version of Islands then tell me this is bad!

  • R.I.P intro - the xx u.u

  • who is xx

  • @pureolivebrown the band that wasnt credited for making the instrumental

  • @brownguy903 ohh! yea thanks I actually looked them up! and fell in love

    Thats the upside to this though.. They have a new fan! :) and I will def. spread the word

  • Omg everyone stop complaining! the song is still coool

  • Did she even credit the XX? Doubt it, to be fair, it was probably some money-grabbing producer who 'wrote this'. Fuck 'em, destroying the beauty of original music and the value of owning a hard copy

  • Totally prefer the original. Abso-fcuking-lutely.

  • Comment removed

  • totally imitate XX intro... disappointing

  • People are mad because she stole a song that doesn't have any lyrics?

  • xx . . .

  • just proves what a lame, unoriginal, talentless product of a corporate record label she is

  • I prefer the original beat.

  • The XX Intro/ Greece's Next Top Model Opening anyone?!? :O

  • i dont care if this is legal or not.

    cant people be ORIGINAL????

  • @XxKCheezyxX LOL WTF? it's not legal because it's not original.

  • When i heard this song there was a party in my head! I'm glad Riri sampled this!

  • why are u guys so pissed, she gave them credit for the song and she made it waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better!

  • THIS IS MAA GIRL...yes rihanna !!! <3 this song

  • She was allowed by The XX to use this. She would be sued if not and her label wouldn't let her use it. It would be a huge liability to them. So get over it and go watch LMFAO instead...

  • lol sooooo effin original

  • Man i just fucking L.O.V.E this song!

  • hmm ... since when is plagiarism legal?

  • @ZRadke5 I hope your not being serious because if you are you are fucking retarded if you think she didnt concent to sample the the song. DIPSHIT

  • I don't like this. A real 'pop star' should come up with their own music, ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. We've gone past the days when they perform their own music, at least MAKE your own music. The XX are great, she shouldn't be allowed to rip their music. I much prefer their version. Just like Jason Derulo ripped from 'Hide and Seek'. It's just bullshit. We've now come to the point where anyone who can sing a nursery rhyme can get a contract deal, and make music. No hate to Rihanna though.

  • @i7AZED The XX obviously let her producers use it. Rihanna's vocals work so well with things like this. Mad house is a great example but in another genre.

  • @i7AZED i wish i could thumbs up your response 10000x times.

  • @i7AZED What you need to understand is that artists who sample music are allowed, they have been given permission by artists who have their music sampled like 'drunk on love', The XX allowed her to sample it, If Rihanna did it without permission she could get sued. There are so many artists who have songs written for them, have their songs produced, ect. Only because they work together. And Jason Derulo was given permission to sample 'Hide and Seek' otherwise he would of been sued too.

  • This is my most favorite track in 'Talk That Talk'. Rihanna voice is awesome along this track. With promising melody with The XX's intro, this is a potential hit!!! Both Rihanna & The XX done a good job! Love it...

  • XX and Riri here is like strawberries and cream, but...for...the ears :)

  • Man, i LOVE the XX and Rihanna has impressed me yet again with this cover, im proud to say good work girl. Keep at it! :)

  • instead of hating, why don't fans take it as a compliment that rihanna used the xx's beat to produce this song? now more people can enjoy it! :) it'll probably make the xx more popular as well.

  • I fucking love this song. Rihanna you the best!!!!!!!!!

  • @laurina949 Tell those haters who's boss!

    That being said, Rihanna really broke through into new territory what with original beat and a new direction in lyrical composure.

  • this is a great cover in riri's distinctive voice- covers are not about copying, they're about individuality

  • She's ruined what was an amazing intro to the xx album

  • wait im so confused..why is rihanna sampling the xx? what is going on in the world?

  • OMG INTRO!!! <3

  • Idgaf what yall say shit I love this song so leave her the fuck alone

  • oh god. gg rihanna for ruining the xx's song...

  • I honestly can't decide how I feel about this song. Her vocals are really on point and I like the melody, but I just really wish it weren't "intro" by the xx she were sampling. The original song is just so brilliant on its own, and I feel like adding vocals just diminishes it. It lacks the kind of hollow, dazed feeling that makes "intro" so brilliant.

    Can't there be a sideways "meh" thumb?

  • what's the name of the song she copied from?

  • @dontyouwakemeup Intro / The xx

  • @dontyouwakemeup it wasn't copied haha

  • I swear youtube is only showing my views to this song ahhh <3.<3

  • Heart dropped when friend sent me this song. Just waited for Rihanna to butcher one of my favourite songs, but I guess it wasn't too bad

  • 11 people are sober on hate.

  • OMG, The XX totally ripped this from Rihanna!

  • This is bad shit! The original song is much better

  • I can't wait for those comments saying: "OMG, The XX totally ripped this from Rihanna!"

  • @kotnaker Nice Song But I Think Its Coz I Love This Beat. :)

  • @kotnaker what do you mean? :S

  • I cringed when I heard she sampled my favorite song from the xx, but this isn't that bad. I kind of like it.

  • all you haters..... see that red X at the top of your screen? Do us all a favor and CLICK THAT BUTTON.

    RIRI...you killed it again!! WE LOVE YOU!!! <3

    @miss_tattoo on twitter!

  • There are already so many fucking remixes of The xx, I say why not?

  • I'll always prefer the original song, but admittedly Rihanna does a pretty good job with it.

  • THIS IS SO GOOD! <3

  • Perfeita de maiis

  • one of my favorites

  • she sounds different on this song, i guess cause it's higher octave

  • noooooooooo totally destroyed intro by the xx :'(

  • @L0veepanicc it's called sampling and a lot of artists do it to other songs, it's not destroying anything

  • @kittenmittonz

    thanks for telling me the definition of sampling (DUH)

    and yes she completely sabotaged a perfect song by a band that is way above this mainstream rubbish

  • @L0veepanicc I don't even like Rihanna, I came here for the xx, but I'm going to explain to you why you're a tard anyways. You see, fucking retards like you don't like music, you just like to tell people: "LOL guize Im not a hipster I just don't listen to mainstream music, hurp, street cred yaaa" Meanwhile your ipod has nothing but an album from Animal Collective (that you don't even listen to anyways).

    Do EVERYONE a favor and stop commenting on youtube videos or just generally off yourself.

  • @Starrve

    trolololol

    Do YOURSELF a favor and stop being a judgemental prick!

  • @L0veepanicc I'll see what I can do there, my trollololing friend, but goddamn, peace oouut.

  • @L0veepanicc omg this isn't 2009, the xx has been in shows like gossip girl and the vampire diaries so i wouldnt try to defend their "underground" status or "authenticity"

  • @lilblildo

    so what if these popular tv shows have taken some of their songs

    it just goes to prove that they deserve more mainstream success

    and it's not with this crap song that they're gonna get it!

    All i'm saying is that if you're gonna sample good fuckin music it better be fuckin good

  • @L0veepanicc - LOL oh please...are you one of those fuckin selfish hipsters whose taste of music must be underground, unknown and "above" everyone else's? there's really no need to bash mainstream because music is totally subjective. what's rubbish for you might be rubbish for others. grow the hell up.

  • @PassSawWhy

    obviously.

    It's called an OPINION. DUH.

    And I like mainstream music, I just often deem it wildly overrated like this song is going to be.

    And just for the sake of it, mainstream music is not 'music' as we call it. Rihanna didn't write this song. She's just a marketing robot. It peeves me that they dare use a song that actually deserves credit and make it into shit like this!

  • @L0veepanicc Might I ask exactly how you stumbled across this so called rubbish?

  • @JayRocks311

    Jeffrey Campbell Blog!

    Because I started gaining respect for Rihanna after We Found Love and was curious to see what she was bringing to the table.. didn't expect it to be this bad.
