Jay Sean f/Lil Wayne, "Down": A pop song review

[BadLittleZombie]

Oh, wait.. your name is ToddInShadows. Nevrmind :)

[BadLittleZombie]

Show your face you emo ass! XD You can't be THAT ugly XDD

[extremeeXrement1]

goodbye having titles at the begining of a todd in the shadows video

[Frafdo95]

@extremeeXrement1 Thanksssssssssssss.

[epicchexmix]

I hate pop, but I love this song to death. Lil Wayne is the worst rapper out there these days and even his verse is pretty good.

[megaton666]

October 7th 2009 - Todd: We can just delete Chris Brown from the cultural memory banks forever.

October 8th 2011 - Me: Guess not.

[ilovecolorguard095]

lol...i never noticed that lil wayne soluted a british flag after saying shes my miss america!

[ihonestlydontknow]

I play this over and over, just to hear Todd sing "Downdowndowndown down" over and over again at the end.

I just love it so.

[NearSupporter11226]

Oh. My. God. I. Love. Your. Voice. It. Is. Sexy.

[Avenger131]

Comin back to watch this after your more recent ones, you've come a loong way man. This is decent, but your new stuff is heads and shoulders above it

[Arekya]

Besides Jay Sean also sounds like.. Jason.

[TheManicKoala]

The first time I had heard of Down was when a British parody band did a parody of it. I thought "Oh, that's so silly and cheeky. I bet the real song is pretty good as well." Then I realized that the chorus was one word long. Making it lazier than the shitting parody. Oh the irony.

[LordNifty]

The differences in volume are just too extreme here. I either have no idea what Todd is saying, or I tick off everyone around me when it jumps back to the music. I know he's gotten better and moved on, but I was wondering if it would be too hard for him to replace the audio track on this video, maybe while preparing this track for TGWTG as another AVGN-style stalling manuever before his next original review.

[tubeuser2222]

and a shadowy legend was born....

[MyLadyGreensleeves77]

Forever was not a good song! Am I the only one who loathed it?

[Sothie]

"Lil Wayne: Un-American"

It might have also been worth noting that he's wearing a shirt that says COMMUNIST PARTY on it. Seriously, what the hell?

[jonanice]

down like the economy ha thats clever...

i don't have a job :(

thanks for the reminder lil wayne

LOL

[TheWarnerSister]

THANK YOU, TODD. I've been searching for someone who rants about the repetitiveness and insipidity of this song as much as I have. XD

[FunkyMonky1171]

I can make a pop song too!

Juice Juice Juice, Juicey Juicey Juice. Juice Juice Juice. I drink Juice Juice Juice.

ITS PERFECT! EXACTLY LIKE DOWN! I AM GOING TO BE FAMOUS!

[cod4me77]

@FunkyMonky1171 is it going to be on i-tunes soon? If it is I cant wait!

[FunkyMonky1171]

@cod4me77

It is now officially on iTunes, along with my other hits, like Milk Milk Milk, Sing Sing Sing, and Elephantufillus Elephantufillus Elephantufillus.

Buy the whole album for only 1 Canadian Dollar!

[Synskin]

@FunkyMonky1171 That juice song looks like it probably be an actual successful song. I am gonna steal it, collaborate with lil wayne and make a million dollars! A MILLION DOLLARS!

[TheWarnerSister]

@FunkyMonky1171 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'M YER BIGGEST FAAAN

[superflycos123]

jesus! the music video even has the same light effects as the chris brown video :0 wtf?!?!

[DrGnockerz]

I hate how most pop songs today just consist of one word or sentence.

[ThePsychoticScyth396]

Dude, your like that dude with the piano on peanuts, but 30 years older!

[EternityEyes]

@ThePsychoticScyth396 Yeah, Schroder.

[BurntFrost]

DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN

[tokiohotel0795]

"All cultures as long as they sound like everything else!"

MY VIEW EXACTLY!

[ZoanBlade90]

Indeed. Dis guy sucks.

[BATASHALACKA]

Hearing the end of your video made me realize the entire songs lyrics could be replaced with the words 'down' and it would sound just as good

[ExcessiveSpareTime]

@bostonrocks98

We're of like minds...

Although I think I've taken it a step too far.

You know you're insane when you're actually recommending Sgure to your classmates shortly after force-feeding them Mu (the Taiwanese one).

You laugh, I actually requested the homecoming DJ play Venetian Snares.

[JlGSajW]

then again not all pop music is bad there are a few that are good and decent but again great review!

[JlGSajW]

wow pop songs sound like a never ending, repetitive cycle...and this song is no exception lol nice work on the review todd ! and congrats on joining the TGWTG team! (i know im late with the congrats lol)

[billybatson55]

1 person likes jay sean :P

[razmin58]

I have no idea why, but I love listening to people complain about stuff that sucks. So go todd.

[pwstokes225]

1 dislike? I need 1 bullet.

[DemonicRemption]

@pwstokes225 This is the part where I want to say something offensive to my ethnic class, but I'mma pass...

[DemonicRemption]

I'm getting really tired of having that first verse from Disturbed's "Sons Of Plunder" cross my mind when it comes to the generic nature of pop and mainstream rap... Seriously the media has to do something to change this... Oh wait they don't notice.

[ThePsychoticScyth396]

@DemonicRemption i dont think disturbed has a song by that title, i know all their songs..

[DemonicRemption]

@ThePsychoticScyth396 On their third album "Ten Thousand Fists" there is a song titled "Sons Of Plunder," there are a few uploads of it here on youtube. Just type in "Sons Of Plunder" in the search bar.

[icu2jimy]

I fucking hate this song, and it makes me wanna claw my eardrums out.

Over analyzing shit, especially bad songs, is one of my favorites things as well.

I salute you sir. Continue on with the good work.

[fallenangel20327]

You're my hero Todd. I wish I could give you a hug because your reviews are hilarious!

[DataSeven1]

This song is damn catchy, and I'm not even a big fan of pop music.

[kristofor12345]

jay Sean did some weird tax ride-off thing where he performed at my school, that was the worst live performance that I've ever had anything to do with, and I went to a Judas Priest concert

[jessymarie23]

When you do listen to both songs. You do hear the similarity now. Awesome review!

[stivan25]

Or baby?

[ser6Ijvolk]

Well done!

Makes me want to dust off my piano. (Although the most modern peace I ever played on that was "The second star from the right")

Congratulations on making it on to TGWTG, you deserve it!

[UCouldntAffordMe]

Lol

rofl

lmao

lmaozhty and so forth

You made me day abso-blod=ody-lutely BRILLIANT!!!!!!

[crunchy789]

now I hate Lil wayne and would love nothing more to see him removed from the planet along with all the other crappy rap/pop artist, but im pretty sure the lyric goes "now shes not miss America" not shes miss America.

[katey9601]

@crunchy789 is say now shes my miss america.

[essexflex]

"Down Down down down, down down down down down" lets dont forget Paul Johnson

[Vinny792]

Loved this, keep these vids coming todd Cause they are funny.

plus, you remind just a little bit of me when I judge songs, I try to question their meanings and purpose of existing.

Don't stop Cause You genuinly funny

[JeffL1313]

I'm surprised and disappointed that you called Lil' Wayne Un-American while FAILING TO NOTICE THE "COMMUNIST" SHIRT he is wearing in the video!

[chibicelchan]

Do you agree agree agree agree agree? Are you comfortable with the terms of this proposal?

BRILLIANT. Absolutely brilliant.

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

Good observation. I just love finding songs that are pretty much exactly the same. It makes the game of "One song to the tune of another" so much easier ^_^

[ThatKidInTheHoodie]

Im suorised he didnt make a blink182 refrence,they have a song where the chorus is "down down down down,down down down down,it gets me so" lol....xP great review,do i even need to say it? of COURSE its great,you made it. lol

[GothandJock]

Indeed, you are my hero for the week. Keep up the good work! I'm loving your reviews, as your sarcasm and sense of humor is very close to mine!

[jdvoltage]

this is not the future that duran duran and depeche mode wanted for us this is wrong

[Adersick]

New and improved Chris Brown... 31% less domestic abuse!

It's all new, but with all the generic... unoriginality that we've come to expect from pop! Huzzah!

Another awesome review man.

[KissMeImPunk]

That's what they said about Michael Vick being 20% less dog fighting, fake!
