Nathalie Makoma - I Just Wanna Dance (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[jieun940421]

snsd is better

[XcodenameSailorMoon]

THis is actually very good! I love SNSD's also.

[BBarNavi]

@intoknight

The joke

--------->

Your head

[egolectro]

I like this version better. They should collab though.

[bdwaffle327]

@HxMello Same Here :D

[HxMello]

I'm a Sone and i have to say i like both verisons! This song's free-style dancey and SNSD's verison is more cherograph dancey. I love them both! <3

[AB1cop4]

@PinoyAkoPh Woah Woah Woah buddy Genie came out before this song in 2009. Makoma released this in 2010 as her second single. She licensed the song from SM entertainment. So please don't go saying that SNSD second handed this song when it is orginally theirs. If you think I am wrong look it up. Makoma sings the original English lyrics that were written for the song.

[kiankichi]

snsd is much better espiecially at the end when tiffany jesscia and taeyeon do their thing.

[ndebbiegirl]

I dig it. I like SNSD version, but I don't mind this one. It makes the song seem more for a club. It's totally danceable without doing SNSD dance...

[DarkkiraraGT]

I like this one wayyyy better!!!

[coolbeanfreak]

I like this version too, I dont like SNSD period...they're just so...so irritating to me

[Tragicalful]

Aw...I remember her from when I was young. Her english is so much better now. ^-^

[vietboy1124]

Does anyone not want to dance now...

[tranvoz]

SNSD is way better because..

1. we have the leg dance

2. korean sounds somewhat better

3. because it's SNSD the goddess gloriously 9 sing it

4. because it came out first

[marsjunkiegirl]

@tranvoz actually, Dineyra was the first to record the song, several months before Genie came out. However, I like SNSD's vocals the most, particularly the harmonizing in the last verse.

[DarkkiraraGT]

@tranvoz wow someone sounds so full of it!!! Also those arent valid reasons of why theirs is better!

[PinoyAkoPh]

@tranvoz She didn't steal SNSD's song. This came out first, then SMentertainment bought the rights (or a music corporation did) and then they changed the theme to Tell Me Your Wish Genie. I agree the leg dance is AMAZING and the korean is cool and yes SNSD are goddesses but this song is just as amazing. Now I can finally sing somewhat of SNSD's Tell Me Your Wish without having to guess Korean words :D

[JasminexILY]

I like SNSD's version better

not because im Asian. .-.

Genie is catchy & make me stand up dance & sing.

This is okay but it don't make me stand up and dance & sing because I don't even understand this. ._. She wants to dance so bad she writes a song about it?

[freakingnaranja]

@JasminexILY this song is about dancing. it's whole point is getting you pumped to dance with it. Genie is not about dancing. like...at all. it's about being there for somebody. and stuff.

and they're both really catchy. they're basically the same song, minus the obvious difference in lyrics and how many people are singing it. O_o

[NinjaBunnii99]

SNSD FTW!!!!

[emilysweety]

i don't know how u guys can just say snsd is better...cuz are u just judging on looks? they're obviously different styles, wut r u comparing like?

[kiankichi]

omggg i didnt know about this! who sang this song first? snsd or her??? anyways i like snsd much betterr lyrics are much better too

[kpoppedshawol]

Sowoneul Maraebwa!!!!!!!! <3 Go SNSD. This isn't half bad either..... not bad... :)

[CarmenL45]

<3 Both Versions(:

[tertiaaja]

I like snsd better, but like the meaning of this song better.... :))

[tertiaaja]

easy guys, Nathalie onlys sings this songs by herself..

SNSD version sings by 9 girls

Of course, It will sounds different....

[metrourbaine]

AAH !! there's so many different versions of this song! I don't know what to call it anymore XD :P

[gernemax]

the lyrics of the chorus are kinda cheezy but still is a really good song :D

[yongsu11]

i like this version ,don like SNSD version

[kpha02]

I don't like how you guys are commenting on this video just to say that you guys like snsd's version better. I like both version though I don't know who this "snsd" person/group is, but still. Jeezers people!!

[CosmoGirl4ever]

SNSD <3 gekke nederlander.

[kagoon0709]

whatever, SNSD GO!!

[danieliquia91]

I like more SNSD... SNSD Jjang!!!

[BANGKOKM3]

SNSD Different Language hahaha!

[lilikaza02]

wOo SM can't write their own songs that sucks

[MoreMelloPlease]

I like this version...

[DesignedByFroii]

Just enjoy the music guys. (I'm a S♥NE btw)

[1x2aleli4]

obviussssssssssss the SNSD IS BETTER A THOUSAND TIMES!!!!!!!!!!....

[luckyztarmyl]

i love SNSD's version ...

[Nandiwashere]

I am a S♥NE but this is unnecessary. You all should know that she purchased the licenses and the original English lyrics to the song. What the FUCK is the reason to all these post of how she’s a thief, copyright and she sucks. You all should know what its like to see ANTIS and haters on SNSD’s page taking shit so why are you all doing the same?? I prefer SNSD’s version yes, but I ‘m not gonna discredit Nathalie who tried and did a damn good job.

[anadunno]

who copied the original track? SNSD or NATHALIE MAKOMA?

[Nandiwashere]

@anadunno The track belongs to SM's SNSD.

1. Dineyra (Uzbek singer) had plagiarized it (She didn't obtain the permission from Universal Music).

2. Nathalie (Dutch singer) bought a licensed version the original song (meaning the english translation) and thus it was released.

3. C.J. Lewis (British singer) got the permission and created his own english version of the song (to support SNSD's 1st Japan album).

[anadunno]

@Nandiwashere oh i see.. how about the RDR? who plagiarized it?

[Nandiwashere]

@anadunno RDR was never plagiarized. Ke$ha is a writer/composer and created the song to sell (her version is the demo). SM bought the song and redid the lyrics and gave it to SNSD.

[anadunno]

@Nandiwashere ooh isee. now it's all clear.. my friend kept on saying SNSD plagiarized it. since he's an ANTI. i don't really understand what's the conflict between blackjacks and Sones.

[Nandiwashere]

@anadunno BlackJacks and S♥NES are stupid for fighting each other. Their two completely different artists in style, concepts and genres. There isn't much to compare between the two, its either you favor one or the other (Or you could like both). The problem is that SNSD and 2NE1 are considered like the US & Europe. The world's strongest teams who have an a understanding of each other yet compete w/ each other. && 21 already stated to admiring SNSD several times, IDK Y their fans getting butthurt

[anadunno]

@Nandiwashere yeah.. they're completely different. i'm a SONE but i like 2ne1 too. are you a sone too?

[Nandiwashere]

@anadunno Yeo Yep! SNSD FTW!

[anadunno]

@Nandiwashere are you a blackjack and ELF? i'm an elf.

[t0kjt0rj]

@Nandiwashere I never wanna bash Blackjack. So Blackjack please DO NOT BASH bash Sone and my Soshi everytime you see us! I can't understand why you enjoy doing like this!

To tell the truth, I don't like 2NE1 much but I have never said anything bad abt them if I DO NOT REALLY understand!

Please thinking carefully before you say anything abt my Soshi! I don't think 2NE1 proud of the fan who can't control what they say!!

[ayokosau97]

@t0kjt0rj I'm sorry for my fellow blackjack's behavior over there. But someone is parading around in 2NE1 videos under the username "DevotedSNSDfan", trolling around, insulting our girls. This prompted us to believe that sones act this way when they do not. Some of us know better, and we ignore "DevotedSNSDfan", but some cannot take it and bash your girls too. I would like to apologize to you and your fellow fans for any insults you get from Blackjacks. I love SoShi too. Proud Sone-Jack. ^^

[t0kjt0rj]

@ayokosau97 Yep I do not like who call themself Sone but always have the behavior like "DevotedSNSDfan"!

I hope every K-pop fan have the same thought with us, then our idols can devote the best things they can to us!!

[TheTitiwatsan]

did she copy their song anyway!?

[arishinlove]

i think ~ nathalie and snsd and c.j.lewis should do a collaboration :)

[TheYamada98]

SNSD's genie released first,idiots ! So don't ever say SNSD copied her ! I don't hate Nathalie but look at their released date ! SNSD release first !

[mpthefable]

this version is better than snsd's. when you compare them, SNSD voice is just like a empty can, they sang, but they don't put all their soul on it, so it just an empty voice, thin voice. and this version have the soul, it's not an empty voice. please don't be a delusional fans(defending all snsd do), when you hear music your ear can't lie, which song is flat, empty, just a song, which one a good song, i'm a sone, i love them but, sorry to say, this one own snsd sowoneul malebhwa.

[SJnicx09]

I like it but it's SNSD's.

[Leydea]

even i'm a sone... i'm still gonna say this version is better. the reason is, because the beat is more intensive. and also the rhythm in this song is much more suitable for clubbing type, like 'i just wanna dance' rather than 'tell me your wish'. but both are good, can't deny both are good match. just that i prefer this version! except she didn't sing high notes like taeyeon =/

[MrPerti8]

guuuys! she's NOT copying SNSD! she just bought the rights to the song (the same SM did) and put in the lyrics for what she wanted to sing. Please stop bashing this poor girl

i adore the korean version, but lets not come here to compare

[TheYamada98]

@MrPerti8 i agree.. omg ! again and again.. same excuse again? like RDR.. people say Kesha bought their album.. Kesha this.. Kesha that ! Now its Genie? But SNSD's Genie was released first !

[MynameisChops]

@TheYamada98 Yes, Genie was released first, BUT..this is a recorded version of the original ENGLISH DEMO which SM bought, and then made into Genie. SNSD did an original Genie recording with, an extra Jessica ad-lib, and 'I Just Wanna Wish' sang in the second ch...they're both good songs, so really. Who cares? There is a new version with a guy rapping and completely different english lyrics sung, so I guess people will lose their shit over that too..

[TheYamada98]

@MynameisChops yup ! that's my point ! :)

[MrPerti8]

@TheYamada98 yeah, and Genie too :) but still, its just 2 different songs

[kawaiisis86]

SMH at people acting brand new like SNSD were the first to even record this song? This is just yet another version in a diff lang-so far this song has been recorded in 4 languages. SNSD have a better presentation and the Korean lyrics are less superficial thats why it comes over better than Nat's song which is just a fun club song. You stans need to get over yourselves, SNSD don't even write their own songs. Doesnt stop them from being a great group though.

[x7557x]

This version is cool and fuck all those who discriminate her and talk shits about her looks.

[MrSpeedfreak005]

I'm a Sone and I hate this. Sorry

[karen131517]

this is....not cool....

2 completely different meanings between this version and the korean one.

love snsd's version more <3

[sorachan91]

wtf?!

[arielyazima]

she is ugly..that's all.

[Clummsyy96]

The meanings are different

[chomeoca]

SNSD's better XD~

[252barbieiish]

i lovee thiss videeoo !!

[spbcomno]

Wow this ver. is so cool

i like tis ve and snsd ver

snsd 4ever

[villegasmic]

I listened to this with an open mind, but... Sorry, Sowoneul Malhaebwa is better (in my opinion). Maybe I'm just a total SONE. :)

[DreamsWishesLove]

both songs are great,

but everyone has different tastes so thats okay

no bashing ppl

[armyamalia]

wow



[INO511]

SNSD is better 

[RyokuXaz]

SNSD is wayyyyy better!

[SNSDandBIGBANGftw]

Depending on what you like, you'll have different opinions on whether SNSD's Genie is better or not. If you prefer songs that you can't understand but like the tune, Genie is better for you. And if you don't like the culture portrayed in this video, Genie is better for you as well.

[8445pamela]

wtf SNSD is better SM should demand this

SNSD fighting!!!!!!!!!!

[monmon21232426]

wow this way better than SNSD. sorry i love Genie and dont hate SNSD but this is way better

[indigoprint]

snsd's version made me wanna groove to it, but this version.. 0___0 MAKES ME WANNA JUMP AND PARTAAAAY

[JustinBeaverSpeaks]

err did she have permission to do this ?

[MerkurX]

@JustinBeaverSpeaks Yep she legally bought the rights to the song, just like SNSD.

[ayokosau97]

@JustinBeaverSpeaks she did.

[NebuChi3]

Let's clear things up.

This song was released some time during 2010.

SNSD's Genie was released on June 22, 2009 (Korea).

It doesn't matter who copied who because it just ruins the meaning of both songs.

[taengooforeva]

ok guys everyone is entitled to their own opinion as long as they don't go criticising either version its fine with me. this version of genie is not too bad but i just like SNSD more because im a loyal sone and their harmonizing of the whole song is great.

[OounizavipoO]

Cool!

Like this song more than SNSD !

[CuddlyJJ]

i like SNSD's version more because it's so groovy and you can dance with it

[freakingnaranja]

@CuddlyJJ i am an avid fan of both versions of this song...but, uh, this version is like, 5x more groovy and danceable. O__o it's got a heavier beat to it.

[chanitsiri]

Are you have SM.Entertainment license.

[lele1134]

i dont love thes

[mewantspocky]

WHY DID HEY RUIN HER HAIR. She has this beautyful full afro-hairdo ... Too bad. Shes pretty.

[Yaoi47Queen]

lol at the start I was like "wait...I know this song...but I can't put my finger on it...." and then the chorus came up and I was like "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"

[CMMYEONG]

if SME loves buying too much tracks, I wouldn't be surprised if they'll buy Rebecca Black's Friday

[NebuChi3]

@CMMYEONG -SM didn't buy the song because Genie was in first.

[Nandiwashere]

@CMMYEONG Firstly, Dsign Music writers and composers made the song that you have here. However, SM bought the song FIRST and re did the lyrics and melody. Thats how the first draft (I Just Wanna Wish) came about and was edited until the song we have today. Nathalie and C.J. lewis bought the original english and melody respectively. Like most companies/artists, you hear what a composer has and then decide to buy the song, thats how it goes IDK why you bashing SM

[khateashlee1498]

I feel bad in this song >.< forever SONE ! :)

[romarizaime]

yeah the backing track is lawfully sold by the composer.. so shhh!

this is actually awesome ide.. o.o *dancing*

[ganky142]

SNSD or Nathalie, both are absolutely superb. Obviously they both have their pros and cons, though I can't think of any for SNSD's >_>, but anyhow...the only thing that raelly bothers me about Nathalie's video is her hair but that is a reeeeeally minor issue.

[menchurifik17]

super LIKE !!

[krissyXdelux]

Wow, this is actually pretty good....

[NebuChi3]

@slifer241987 -Yeah. I Just Wanna Dance was never released. It was just a draft.

[DeaThHallow]

@NebuChi3 You are really dense, you know

[NebuChi3]

@DeaThHallow -I answered the person's question.

How is that dense?

[blazenyan]

I loved! the letter is much more better, they have sense!! I like more this song XD

[68susanamarcia]

THIS IS NOT COPY! she bought the rights.

I'm sone , but this song is really good :)

[tralalajackandjill]

I'm not a sone but I researched when this was released and SNSD's version was released first.

[TheMordenmorden]

@tralalajackandjill defenetely ! .. they were the first one ! I'M A REAL SONE .. ! and i dont like it .. :/

[roadrunner0184]

@TheMordenmorden duhh !! then your TOTALY LAME !! you dont know what is talent .. :p

[MerkurX]

@TheMordenmorden haha A real SONE who can't spell. In any case, both of them legally bought the rights for the song.

[alexmanciajb]

"On May 19, 2010 Dutch singer Nathalie Makoma released her second single named "I Just Wanna Dance",[28] which is a LICENSED VERSION of Girls' Generation's Genie. Nathalie sings the original English lyrics that were written for the song."

It's on Wikipedia ;)

[momojelly8]

Kpop fans need to grow up. Not everyone copies their beloved groups. Music rights are always being sold etc. They really should do their homework before they accuse.

[TifaLockheart13]

damn!!

just stop with the f*king date comparison~

It's fact that SM didn't produce the song~

just accept it!

[flufffghjk]

whatever.. both snsd AND nathalie bought the rights for this original song. NO ONE is copying anything.

[SNSDlover009]

SNSD Genie (2009)

This song was released in 2010...

look it up..

[Darkflowerneko]

Original or not, copycat or not, this girl owns this song down right into the melody. I like this version and SNSD's version. It doesn't matter who copied who or who came first, it matters more on the music, right? I like it, it's as catchy as Tell me your wish. She doesn't deserve hate because some S♥NEs believe that SNSD came first. But who cares? The music should care, and this version isn't bad at all. It's awesome <3

[VampireKnight820]

THIS IS COPIED!!!!!!

[DeaThHallow]

@VampireKnight820 you didn;t even know what the meaning of COPIED is! Geezz.... so stupid!

[shinvko2]

snsd <3

[SNSDAE2]

Genie MV added in February 2010, this was put on Youtube in June, and SNSD copied her? You guys have mental problems if you don't know that February comes first, just saying.

[NebuChi3]

@SNSDAE2 -Some videos on Youtube are uploaded AFTER it's first released.

The song could've been released earlier than June and the person who uploaded this uploaded it days later.

[kwonyuri26]

SOWANEUL MAELHAEBWA~~> UGH..! just look at the date,. and SNSD FOREVER! THUMBS UP SONES!!

[akuma27199]

@asmahanis Uh.. sweet genie style? Had you even READ the lyrics of Genie?

[bebeo138]

oh SNSD copy she......

[TheYamada98]

LOL !! Look at the date at Genie SNSD and this MV,ok? SNSD comes first ! Use your eye,idiots who hate snsd !

[MidoriCheonSa]

The vocals here is much better but you can still feel SNSD's version because of their dance routine...

I like both versions... Even we say that they already did this or that it already happened, we cannot do anything about it.. They cannot remove it just like nothing happened... Let's just hope people should learn their lessons...

[TifaLockheart13]

Doesn't matter who copy who~ It's fact that SM didn't produce the song~

to think that its their original~ damn~

just enjoy the vids~

[apll3z]

i find both of their version nice in their own way..lol...it kinda reminds me more of the guide vers. of tell me your wish...i just wanna wish

and JFYI snsd did not copy the song...tell me your wish was release first in 2009...and this was release only in 2010...pls dun say anything bout snsd copying the song or watsoeva not before even getting the facts rite...

[LeVintageTV]

i like more genie from snsd this a copycat!

[mazexroom]

i prefer the SNSD version

[EpicKPopSubs]

What...? How can Genie be a copy of this song? Clearly all you people claiming its a copy don't know how to do simple math. This song was released in 2010... Genie in 2009. I hardly see how Genie is a copy. Both are licensed and neither is a copy of another. Do some research before you open your mouth to bash someone.

[smelyss]

i like the way SNSD do it!... is more fun!

[MomentsAndMelodies]

so the guy dancer in the blue looks like Jason Statham, and at about 1:14 found a rihanna look-a-like? XD

[MomentsAndMelodies]

@MomentsAndMelodies 1:47 *

[memusicluv92]

SNSD got this first.. then it was illegally released by that(?) Uzbek singer.... until end of 2010, this girl released it legally... whatever it is, its SNSd's first....

[quinquiunica]

This version is actually more powerfull than Snsd's, but I must say this singer scares me ^^ hehehe... I mean, when putting beside Snsd's girls :O

[JajaKpop]

SNSD's Genie is not a copied

SNSD released it first before other artist

try to understand the words carefully, please

before posting some fact~~

[khalilyuto]

both versions are good

[iluvtaemin]

wasnt this AFTER SNSD's Tell me your wish? it says so on Allkpop.

[reydar88]

anyways this was released in 2010.. Tell me your wish was released in 2009 so no way SME copied this

[reydar88]

from allkpop -- " SNSD’s Tell Me Your Wish was illegally released by Uzbek singer Dineyra (Raqsga Tushgin) without proper permission from Universal Music, then separately released (as the licensed version) by Dutch singer Nathalie Makoma (I Just Wanna Dance) last year with the original English lyrics" --- so originally it was still by SNSD, this version is the remade version?

[SoneAnstella]

i prefer SNSD version! S9 fighting~!

[MeimaiLove]

Snsd is the best! Iyou can't copi Genie's song melody etc. I am a very big fan of snsd, but now... Stop take snsd's SOng!

[poom091294]

this version is better than SNSD's version ...

poor SM ... they can produce music for their gasoos ....

[abscdv]

this girl copied!! genie was released earlier

[MrKangIn]

SNSD FIGHTING~ Saranghaeyo Kim Taeyeon ♥

[SergioTokyo]

SNSD FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[thereseme042]

snsd genie was released before this..

[wenoevol]

i prefer saw SNSD dancing..

[pinkyblue212]

i like this version...

[blobbishx]

I LOVE THIS VERSION.

[88MsCrazy]

Now the line,"DJ put it back on" makes sense. I love Genie by snsd. It's my favorite among snsd's songs but I can't get the connection between the line with DJ and a genie. Thanks for this song, all is clear. To SME, hire more producers, please and thank you.=D

[xhupiadoe]

this version is more upbeat and danceable...

SNSD's version was all cutesy, so SONEs dont hate us if we think this is better coz she really can sing..

[mewantspocky]

Im a Sone from The Netherlands, and honestly, i didnt see thing song on tv ONCE. Whats up with that?

[yoChip94]

I don't like Genie , really

but when i hear this , it feels like... wow~

she brought the true feeling for the song

[arielyazima]

@yoChip94 but she is ugly thats all

[yoChip94]

@arielyazima she's not beautiful but she's got talent, that's ALL

[flufffghjk]

I like this song more than SNSD's version..

[SNSDSaranghae126]

Nice song.. ^^ But I LOVE SNSD's version better...

[anaHajar]

Am I the only person who thinks that this version is better? O.O

SNSD girls' version is like...short of breath?

[Purplerosemaryislove]

@anaHajar Obviously this version is better .

[p00nt238eng]

wat's goin on wif sm entertainment? y almost every song of its artist hav to share wif others? y cant it produce a song dat is juz fr its artist instead of buying here n thr? disappointed... :(

[CHADakaCHIZZAD]

LOL. On this song SNSD is all over the comments. On SNSD's this girl is no where on the comments. That is because SNSD > This

[StarAWings]

AGH It's SNSD O.o dude, never heard of this lady but I know SM bought this song...

but even though I don't like SNSD genie was better

[Woodean93]

such a good song!!! but the Soshi's one is better ;))

[BlackLadyRockz]

wooowwww i just wanna danceee (8) i dooo wanna dance nowww!! i like Genie but IJWD is amazingggg wanna go clubbing :) even when its the same beat the 2 versions are totally different!

[seraphimdove]

SM buys alot of their hits.. not a bad thing.. pretty common in the music industry

[joongmiesoul]

i like this too

[nixxhale]

i think, sometimes, it's just a shame for this artists to release songs then not recognized that well. and then here comes kpop artists buying the songs, change it a lil bit then comes into a BIG hit. if im nathalie, then i would be really disappointed. just like kesha's run devil run..

[yahady]

PUES SI SUENA BIEN Y HASTA DAN GANAS DE BAILAR PERO PREFIERO A SNSD COMO OLVIDAR EL BAILE DE PIERNAS (¿?)

SNSD<333

[gisell1897]

OMG I love this version, is so enjoyable. I like SNSD's version, but Nathalie's version make me wanna dance =D

PD: I'm Kpop fan and like SNSD, so please don´t kill me ;)

Never heard this version LOL
