Whatcha Say, Jason DeRulo? (A Parody)

[GrexxSkull]

i hate it how people say that it's okay because he "bought the rights to use the song

" Just because you buy someone else's song DOES NOT make it yours -.-

[UnicornsAndSheep]

You sound like Avril(: xx <3

AMAZING. i listend to this a year ago STILL IN MY HEAD :D

[Freakumstiixx]

Wtf it cool lol

[wokeandtoke]

That was really good I liked it alot. Good job at what you do,I hope you will check out my channel I have music in all genre's for everbody to like. It's my own style.Hope too see you there sub and add me. I'll do the same it's up to us to help each other out...

[MoonyMcMoonykins]

THIS THIS THIS. Argh. I hate "Whatcha Say" with a passion. The ONLY good part of that is what he yoinked from Imogen Heap, and he didn't even give her credit where credit is due.

Even sadder is that most people aren't even aware. Pretty much none of my friends have ever even heard of her. :(

[bookworm2445]

Imogen heap is so awesome... Well I think we all would say she did it first... Personally I think she did it better :)

[PrettyGreenGoat]

Sampling should be illegal. It shouldn't be legal for one artist to use another artist's song in order to get popular.

[starrynight472]

I LOVE Imogen Heap.

[nathpollen]

I didn't mind him using the song, as you mentioned in the description, it's completely legal, I do mind the fact that he never gave her any credit, whatsoever. So, thanks for this. I really enjoyed it. :D

[HannyPaiy]

THANK YOU.

[socoolisme12]

what is this song about?? i don't get it

[Geekrockify]

@socoolisme12 It is about jason derulo stealing smeone else's song didn't catch who's though

[Pntbll10xsh0cker]

yo ill be really honest, youre one of the most respected and most talented artist on youtube... so many kids post acoustic cover songs like this, but you are actually good. i can tell you actually know what youre doing. i hate it when kids just go read tabs and if they dont have tabs they won't learn any songs

[ohmyitskai]

I pretty much revisit this video every few weeks. It's so amazing, and I love it!

[kodinshanice]

i dont see the resemblance wat is it llike the chouros or somin somone tell me

[devilishlypure]

@kodinshanice The bridge of her song "Hide and Seek" was ripped out and stuck into Jason DeRulo's song.

[Manistare]

@devilishlypure well look at this way at least he didnt remake the WHOLE song.

[kodinshanice]

i saw the video from imogen and its not even close to watcha say but ur totally

awesome 4ever

[kodinshanice]

who made the orignal artist a girl wats her name

[SNLdude87]

MY GOD!

Lauren, the more of your songs I hear, the more I love you. Your nerdiness exceeds mine, and I enjoy it so much.

And for the record, I have always despised DeRulo's thievery.

[devilishlypure]

@SNLdude87 Aw, I'm so glad you like the songs! Nerdiness wins.

[RawrFunkyLlama8]

This song sums up exactly how I feel about this. Thankyou.

[MoonInHerEyesx]

I love you so hard right now Lauren.

This is exactly how I felt when the "new" song came out. Exactly.

[Plottoberry]

Those high notes were incredible. I never heard you sing like that before. It was really beautiful.

[skillzdatkillz900]

so im new to this channel - when you bought the ukuleles could you already play guitar or did you just learn both by yourself?

[devilishlypure]

@skillzdatkillz900 I started teaching myself to play guitar about two years before buying a ukulele.

[skillzdatkillz900]

@devilishlypure oh right thanks, it's just i'm thinking about starting to play either of them. keep up the good work!

[TheProjectpenpal]

Aaah man the high notes are incredible 

[SpellI3reaker]

i liked this song... very good voice and guitar playing. plus the message was all good...i dont like when certain people use others persons art

[IDreamOf98]

Oh goodness, I've always knew you had a wonderful singing voice but those high notes blew my mind! You are so talented!

Also, I had the same reaction when I heard that song, granted, my reaction was less poetic than your song. It was more like, "wha- bu- no! That's Imogen's song!!"

[ysisarahlds]

man! The first time that I heard the song on the radio I started freaking out with joy and then the song began morphing into crap and I was like "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUU"

seriously, the guy could have at least been original and write his own tune instead of screwing with imogen heap, dear goodness!

[MadHattersBride]

Ok enough wid the hate comments!!! u try singing and broadcast on youtube!!!!!!

[starrrry311]

YOU'RE SO GREAT!

[zhubenn]

wellll, i'm neither a hater or lover of jason derulo.. i think this parody's pretty amazing.. but i dont think jason derulo deserves that much hate... think he probably have gotten permission or purchase the copyrights from imogen heap (well he have to or he will be sued) before he incorporated it to his song.. so peace everyone (:

[tinkizm21]

I found you ,then looked up the other stuff...You got it goin on....Da Hood Luvz Ya Gyrl

[otakubabe555]

I feel the same way! I heard it and then went, hey, I knew that song ages ago. And he's now just added a bunch of crap to it.

[makhoka]

your funyy

[neondreamscollide]

I was really upset when I heard the Jason version too. You're amazing, Lauren!

[DozzWednesday]

Why are you upset from an artist's standpoint? You didn't write Hide & Seek. Imogen Heap did, and I'm pretty sure she isn't upset because I'm pretty sure the original artist has some sort of say in whether a new artist samples their copyrighted material or not.

[miceylulu]

@DozzWednesday If she is upset from an artist's standpoint, and then you're "pretty sure" that she's wrong, don't you think she'd know what she was talking about if she took the time to write a song about it? You took the time to write a COMMENT about how she's wrong. You don't even know what YOU'RE talking about.

[YourDorkPrincess]

I love this you're awesome!! : D

[cassieatsapples]

This is by far my favorite video on youtube.

[edanny565]

ur wack

[RachelB263]

Imogen Heap sucks.. sorry but the original song all sounds the same to me. Her voice is irritating and just bland. I couldn't listen to a whole song of just her annoying synthesized voice.

[CatchTh3Wind]

I found this a year after you posted but I'm still furious lol... Well not furious but mad.... Just because he transposed the hook shouldn't mean it's his. Thank you for letting me know I wasn't the only one who knows I'mmi and was mad :)

[WillInThe04Ranger]

Pretty Awesome!

[alm24601]

@WillInThe04Ranger Totally awesome.

[15MinutesofChaos]

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lyssa1Hale]

I think your version is the best out of all(:

[Athibz]

Brilliant:)

[SilverKnight752]

=].. I think you should be No*1

[FuinLovesPie]

I love how two of his songs, that I've heard so far, aren't 100% his. There's "Wutcha Say" and "Ridin' Solo". "Wutcha Say" being "Hide and Seek" and "Ridin' Solo" being "Bittersweet Symphony".

He seriously needs to get his own talent.

[kluzer]

You're just racist.

[LizTheLyre]

@kluzer This really has nothing to do with race. I can't tell if you're joking considering everything is spelled correctly and the sentence has punctuation. If you weren't then please tell me why that was racist.

[CrimsonSlayer7]

for a minute there when you stopped i thought you was about to go off on someone :p

[xxxJewBoyxxx]

Actually, I can't even tell if that dude can sing well. He's all auto-tuned out. Nice tune, girly. ;}

You kinda remind me of Lisa Loeb. :D

[MrFredweasleysgurl]

ok i just have to say GO LAUREN, i love your song, and I LOVE your hat!!!

[amber6675]

I just find it sad that he has to give himself a shout out in every song...

[guthunk]

@Tyrasaurus And yes it is ruining great songs! He ruined Her Brilliant song and turned it to shit! "I was so wrong for so long, Only tryin' to please myself Girl, I was caught up in her lust, When I don't really want no one else So, no I know I should of treated you better But me and you were meant to last forever. THIS IS SHIT! predictable lame!! behind any other music it would not of been a popular song. NOONE would of liked it. HE USED Her song to propel his shit lyrics and non talent!

[guthunk]

@Tyrasaurus if you can speak in rhythm you can rap. It's the easiest of all music mediums. It's at the bottom as far as TALENT! Most rappers lyrics a are meaningless swearing or about fucking. And when they are trying to be meaningful it's a lame attempt! There are a handful of rappers that are genius. Eminem is one. She doesn't need Ghetto idiots as fans she has plenty of fans. With actual taste in music. You need to watch Her LIVE and ask yourself could ANY rapper do what she does. NO NONE CAN

[freakysherif]

man.. cool video.. it makes me smile listening to your version of hide n seek aka whatcha say... love your style btw... =)

[Tankmywank]

You are a fucking genius, lovely.

[DaniandJeff11]

Dude, I was wondering when someone was going to mention this. You are now offically my hero. I really wish I could have found this when you made it in October and this RIDICULOUS song was on the radio every second of every day.

[eronth]

(b' _')b

I like it, thumbs up!

PS. The way you say hi/hello reminds me of Luna Lovegood.

[ThatEccentricguy]

i couldn't possibly agree more with you, weather or not what he did was legal doesn't change how pathetic it is, words cant describe how much i hate Jason DeRulo and im also pissed at him stealing 'just dance' from lady gaga and somehow mutating it into 'In my head'

[guthunk]

I put you up on my Facebook! I want all my friends to see this!

[guthunk]

HAHAH I LOVE THIS GIRL!!! Thank you for writing this song! Jason DeRulo is a no talent Hack! So is Puff Daddy who ruined "Watching you" by Sting! COME UP WITH YOUR OWN SHIT! STOP RUINING GREAT SONGS!! A 5 Year old retard could rap nonsensical words behind a great song, and add a hip hop beat, and claim it as their own. Listening to the words behind the songs you ruin, they are shallow, predictable, and pale in coparison to the true meaning of the song. you are embarrassing yourself!

[Tyrasaurus]

@guthunk rappers can't sing, but they need singing choruses. Doesn't mean they're ruining good songs or that they don't have talent ('cause no, not everyone can rap. I've heard bad rappers). If anything, you should be happy for Inogen Heap, she probably got more fans because of that song. Or because of the OC. Either one.

...Wait... Jason Derulo is a rapper? No. He also doesn't claim the song as his own.

[MLena95]

each time when this it´s played in the radio I start humming along and then singing. Then people yell at me because I sing your lyrics.

[betweenscylla]

Oh god, everybody shut up!

[nothingbutrain]

Whenever I hear the DeRulo song I hear your lyrics instead...good job! :)

[jessejetplane]

I am quite pleased with this.

[cheersforale]

I loved this because this is always think when I hear this song, just, "Ugh! Is he really so unoriginal he can't think of his own hook? This doesn't even fit at all!" Also, where did you get your hat? It's effing adorable. :D

[VloggerQueen17]

3:02 "HI! How's it goin?" Is code for "ugh, you're here AGAIN?!" I love it :)

[gazza127]

i think jason derulos album is brilliant and hes a real gd singer but u gota luv this parody :D thumbs up

[333annaleinchen333]

Its soo awesomeee x3

[franzen0]

This is brilliant!

[MsBellaBellatrix]

Lauren pwns Jason DeRulo

[Belladonna232010]

I agree with this so much. :)

[MisterWrestleMania1]

AWSOME How long did it take to make it???

[XJenkaxX]

Der hat das doch nur gecovert, mädel.

Und dazu auch noch besser.

Trotzdem gute Stimme.

[gansin]

get out of ur house...image heap is not famous...only famous to emo people like u lol. And her song just want me to cut my own waist

[devilishlypure]

@gansin Odd that someone who thinks I'm emo is threatening to cut their own waist. Cutting one's waist is probably more dangerous than cutting one's wrist though... more vital organs nearby. I'd suggest against that.

She's been around way longer than DeRulo has. Have you ever watched The OC? Her music's all over that show. Unless that's too emo for you as well.

[jpivotmaker]

@devilishlypure Owned ahahah.

[MrFredweasleysgurl]

@devilishlypure GO LAUREN!!!!!

[Tyrasaurus]

@gansin It's Imogen Heap and neither was Jason Derulo until that song. :/

But I'd say she's relatively famous.

[ManEatingPlants]

@gansin Lauren emo? Have you seen any of her other videos, muggle?

[Emigmatiic]

@ManEatingPlants yes skye! <3

[fallenderkaugummi]

@gansin well youre just a stupid chart kiddy and have no taste of music

why do you think the cover by jason derulo is that famous

[m8y511google]

@gansin shut up its cool and its cool to mix with

[CoHOCD]

@gansin Please, please, PLEASE don't say stuff like that. It is VERY offensive when you threaten to cut yourself ANYWHERE. It is not some light subject you can throw around. As a recovered cutter, I beg you to think about it before you say something.

[TheChipchaser]

u r nicking both songs u retard but alrite lyrics a bit high pitched at parts lol

[TheChipchaser]

your nicking both there songs u retard

[ItsBenCracknell]

@TheChipchaser Actually, she isn't. She's taking Derulo's song's idea, and flipping it around to smack him in the face. And I think you mean 'their', not 'there'. Also, learn the contraction for you are, will you?

[gomer5414]

jason durulo is a copyer he doesnt deserve to sing that song anymore imogen heaps version is better anyways!!!

[Dzonedhalo2]

reminds me of b.c. jeans if i were a boy. beyonce purchased the song though, an she did it, but b.c. her version shows more emotion

[puppies3rock]

lol this is awesome

[rezwanaakhtar]

this is good. (Y)

please chek out my parody of jason derulo's watcha say, thanks :)

[TheWhiteFerrets]

This is great. Imogen Heap is one of my favourite artists, and I, too, was pissed at Jason Derulo for taking part of Hide&Seek. What annoys me even more though is when I sing the chorus of Hide&Seek, my friends think I'm singing Whatcha Say. Imogen definitely deserves more credit. <3

[WiebeKaai]

Hey, you're a pretty good singer and you aren't bad at guitar, but I don't like the lyrics or this Parody though. Jason Derulo's song is so many times better, and he once used someones else chorus, so? Alot of Hip-Hop/Rap artists do that, so why can't a popstar do it, are you going to write a parody of all those songs made by Hip-Hop/Rap artists with a stolen chorus? Jason Derulo wrote so many songs his self and is very talented.

[dog009988]

Nice song but i think that you should work a lil bit with your voice ;) not mean ment

[TheMranimated]

yess, come on! i love imogen heap!

[prongslover77]

Lauren I love you!! In a non creepy way of course =p I can't wait for ROFLCOPTOUR! just ignore the idiots who want to put you down. This song and your voice and you ROCK!!

[PrettyFascinated]

Wow. I didn't know this. Great song and great use of music/youtube. Well Done Lauren xx

[Avilletigers71]

HAHAHA great song

[videostarbabe]

you're really cool. i love nerdfighterlike... ukeleles rock. :)

[krazeemuffin]

love it! :D

[shawty2068]

ur weird weirdo

[technochica]

I heart you so for doing this! You're such a badass.

[smartstuff1061]

ummmm...



[funsoccer8]

Still Sucks. You can't sing high.

[SecretMuggle]

I love this, lovely parody and I completely agree with you

[mendezN14]

Marry me! HAVEMYBABIES!

[sweetsugar1622]

OMG THANK U SO MUCH. the second i heard that song get to the chorus i freaked out. imogene heap is an amazing artist and he just took it and added it to the shitty mainstream crap. and the song has such a terrible message! i cheated on u..can we get back together? i dont think so. anyways thanks so much for making this. this totally brought a smile to my face. you made my day!!

[rjpimp]

umm love this song ahahah .. love you to xooxox .. dont stop

[iBEAUTIFUL333]

what did you say??? o.0

[rock123481]

well its just ur off of beat but u have a good voice.

[rock123481]

u stink!!!!!

[devilishlypure]

@rock123481 I KNEW SMELLOVISION WOULD BE POSSIBLE SOMEDAY! XD

[rock123481]

@devilishlypure wut u say?

[devilishlypure]

@rock123481 Oh, I've just been waiting for them to invent the ability to smell things through the television or the internet.

[rock123481]

@devilishlypure ooooooooo

[dog009988]

@rock123481 what she means is nigga you are fucking gay so get off my fucking site!

[rock123481]

@devilishlypure WUT?to c me or chat im always on you tube.aaliyah rock

[devilishlypure]

@rock123481 I don't really want to chat with someone who thinks I stink.

[rock123481]

@devilishlypure well bitch u do

[ditzyalice]

@devilishlypure I'm addicted to your voice, and completely agree that it should have been 'Jason Derulo feat. Imogen Heap'. I get so annoyed when my friends think that he created the chorus, I've played about 15 people the song Hide and Seek to prove how good Imogen Heap is!

[rock123481]

@devilishlypure i mean face book!!

[xloranx]

I don't think you're a Troll at all. I thoroughly have been enjoying your videos ever since you and Nina did your Ben Folds covers and Moaning Myrtles songs. I say keep going and your true fans will continue to support you. Love your videos : ]

[hploveaffair]

I had this song stuck in my head for the last couple days so I came back to listen to it, which is sort of ironic because of the message and all.

I just like your voice I guess~ :3 Sorry about the haters you got there, since this is like 6 months later? Aha, late much, guys?

[DLEEZY111]

i think he ment goat lol only makes sense... and what the ef is the haaaaa part at the begining about??? LMAO

[DLEEZY111]

i think he ment goat lol only makes sense

[DLEEZY111]

i think he ment goat lol only makes sense

[kittykat3427]

:D whooooo

[MrManati02]

u suck ugly coat

[devilishlypure]

@MrManati02 I'm not wearing a coat.

[goodcharlotte615]

every so often i come across a video that for no apparent reason did not make it to my subscription box then it makes me really happy b/c it's like getting a new video, and so that happened with this one, and so yea this is awesome :D

& to who ever the commenter bellow me, "thegutshot888" (rly brilliant user name) is, they really need to shut up...

[3shadeProductions]

you need to make this into a music video!

like i did for IN MY BED (in my head parody) that i made

[mutherfucker31]

okay dude i plan on doing my own film making business , plus getting into porn videos lol

[burnmyeyes444]

hehe funny :-) some people seem to take it a little tooo seriously according to their reactions, good work!

[TheGutshot888]

feel sorry for whoever it is.

[devilishlypure]

@TheGutshot888 Well, don't tell me I need to get laid then. Why would you subject someone to the torture that is me?

[TheGutshot888]

@devilishlypure good question.....what response do you expect after posting a video with a negative message. you should've covered this in your youtube presentation. anyway i was going to justify y i said what i did but decided no to. congratulations and all the best.

[devilishlypure]

@TheGutshot888 My presentation covered that self-expression through YouTube positively benefits those posting the videos. I express my opinions creatively, you insult me, I become a better person and you're still just a troll.

[TheGutshot888]

@devilishlypure i tried to be civil. keep telling yourself that (i know you're good at talking to yourself, as other people aren't interested, or talking to the camera whichever you prefer) troll or not, youtubers need views to survive, call me what you want. loser.

[devilishlypure]

@TheGutshot888 It's hardly civil telling someone to get laid and then saying you feel sorry for my fiance. You didn't need to leave inappropriate, rude comments insulting me on my video. If you didn't like it, you could've closed the window and stopped watching, but you've been back here several times instead. Thanks for keeping me alive then, I guess? I'm not sure how that makes sense, but if you say so.

[reneab0203]

Sorry but it seems like you are making fun of Jasion Derulo and I love Jason Derulo and no efence but you are not a very good singer (I am being a Simon) so yeah......JASON DERULO IS WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYY BETTER!!!!! THERE IS EFENCE TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[devilishlypure]

@reneab0203 'efence' is not a word. Sorry.

[TheGutshot888]

u need to get laid

[devilishlypure]

@TheGutshot888 I'm getting married. Thanks.

[rsadang1]

whats the strumming pattern?

[Massimo1162]

I enjoy parodies but to me this is kind of distasteful. To each their own. You play the guitar well at least =D

[artehaleychoke]

i like ur shirt

[sweetkatdr]

was it hard for u to write ur own partfor this song

[kewlgirlz22]

do you like the song though?

[devilishlypure]

@kewlgirlz22 I really love "Hide and Seek". As for "Whatcha Say", not so much.

[PrettyGirl255]

this is really goood no  it not its AWSOME!!!!!!!

[ijustdontcare121]

Your good =) I might just buy some of your music.

[Junurpoet]

Yes!!! I love it. After I heard Jason D's version someone pointed me in the direction of the Original. Imogen Heap's orignal is 10 times better. Love ur Parody!

[RockXStarEvan]

I wish I could train my voice to sound good o_o

[yuddy93]

love ur shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThePointlessPitch]

Pure brilliance, i would definately have made this point if i could write parodies as good as you ha!

Junior mints FTW!

[LifeFragments]

LOL awesome!

[TheCornfl4kes]

lawl!

junior mints!

[wildwinta]

I want ur shiirtt! :O

lmao

[FM897]

Do I agree with most of what you're saying? Yes. But guess what? Imogen Heap gave Jason Derulo permission to use her song. I'm sure she's resenting him all the way to the bank.

[KELLS160]

GREAAATTTT GIRLLL. JAJAJAJAJA. Dont worry me as artist wont ever ever take any cover hooks. Kelvin

[cheerocke]

Hipis is good for: smoking, do nothing, somtimes for good time spending, drinking and died, but is not good for singing, geting heroine, sleepeng at night and playng basketball, (nothing playng)

[devilishlypure]

@cheerocke Huh?

Also, please learn to spell.

[cheerocke]

@devilishlypure i dont know english language, i can better spell that in Polish language if U want...

[mutherfucker31]

@devilishlypure you're awesome do you write music you should
