Chris Brown - Try A Little Tenderness

[lovablejuju]

2:26 he ruined that part, and the rest...

[Soberrynice1]

CHRIS U SONG UR HEART OUT ON THIS ONE!!

[DopeHeadzEmJay]

Why are people so judgmental? How would you feel if all your mistakes were made public and never completely forgiven by millions just 'cause you're famous? We ALL make mistakes. Plus that shit was THREE YEARS ago. He apologized, did his service & moved on. Rihanna forgives him, so why can't you give him a break? Of course it's not right, and no one will forget it, but one unfortunate event between HIM and HIS ex doesn't allow you to continue to bring this brilliant, God-gifted man. Get a life!

[90210branden]

go head Chris Brown with your bad ass, i see you.

[NickiBoo17]

@RAPALUTION That comment wasn't even necessary !!!

I bet Chu was sinqin Alonq wen yhu waz listenin 2 dhis!

[life4foreever]

[iBeLiEvEYhU]

Ya'll realize this movie was before that incident....and why are people even still on it ? CTFU.

[exodx234]

:X love this songgggg

[tangium]

Clearly he tried a little tenderness, then decided against it.

[pamelagivens38]

I love this young man he has what it take to be a true singer.

[jimihendrixfan2008]

Meh -.-

[annely101]

Not bad, Chris ;)

[florenciarob]

que cara de pibe

[aliciakeys234love]

this is my boo jamming out a classic song and bringing it back 2 life although otis is more soft but i still like both versions

[tkdkid100]

as much as I don't think Chris Brown's voice comes close to the soulfulness of Otis', i gotta admit, the instrumentals on this track are hot! They really make the song jam and give it some soul.

[AJ106Candy]

Thts y I love Chris Brown becuz he sing any song and make his own #teambreezy

[NoodlesRGewd]

dear chris brown, stick to ur shitty music and stop fuckin up the classics okay?

[TiinaSwaags08]

[danielg88c]

thumbs up if you strongly disagree with RAPALUTION

[OldTunes20]

@danielg88c He's not a rapper. He's a marionette. Rappers and real MCs represent hip-hop, not corporations.

[danielg88c]

thumbs up if you strongly disagree RAPALUTION

[tonythehomie1]

these were the times..

[TheSexycatracha]

Ottis copied him..

Anyways I LOVE youuu.

[YoungKrunk275]

man this is the best song man

[iamawesome123able]

honestly i am still puzzled why some individuals are ripping on this version of the song it is just so pure and tender

[Drizzylover4ever]

people r haters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[Mahkaylah12]

I Love it,,, people Always say This Version sucks... Well forget the haters,,,,,, ( Haters has their greifs and cares)

[strummeresque]

He's really singing "Try a Little Tenderizing"

[Zarman99]

oooooooohhhhhhh shut the hell up you are ruining a great song...........

[joeammo100]

I like Chris' style too.

[beautyqueenangela11]

Dude he's not even really singing...He's WHINING!

[nettyfbaby]

I love chris brown!! People always say that he's just a dumb pop singer but this song shows his real skills, and not a lot of people can sing like that.

[msriras]

its cul

[Nztektonik]

LMFAO IT WAS A TROLL

[blaqueperl1]

Chris Brown did exactly what I expected he would do on this song and that was sanged the hell out of this song....of course this is Otis Redding song, (IJS) I'm just saying that Ottis would be proud......Love this song thank you Ottis, outstanding job and to Chris, man you put it down......Love it....Classic

[Trodessa7]

i love dis song!!!!

[ChrisD00100]

I love the original and this one even more! On of the greatest songs of all the timE!

[okieboi1]

This song was written and recorded 9 years before otis redding was even born. not knocking otis he is a legend but its not his song.

[oliimrie11]

Best thing ever

[RAPALUTION]

His biggest crime wasn't punching Rihanna. It was trying to sing the great Otis Redding's masterpiece.

[ScotchW10]

@RAPALUTION Your biggest crime is hating people who do what they enjoy. You would be a great parent.

[IzikUNLTD]

@RAPALUTION bitch at least he know how to sing. leave him alone and stop hating

[MultiSuperpaige]

@IzikUNLTD i agree!!

[aggurl]

@RAPALUTION well he sung it better than you

[bredacious97]

@RAPALUTION oh my god you really wasted your time looking up this song just to write that...just shut the fuck up kid.

[YoGGiiYo]

@RAPALUTION

lol my goodness can anybody out sing Otis?

[terangikaiwhetukipa]

@RAPALUTION like to see you try..

[ELMAESTRO2015]

@RAPALUTION that whole punching rihanna is still kinda up there though...

[aliciakeys234love]

@RAPALUTION SHHH he did not TRY he brought it and i agree otis is a little better but he sang his heart so leave chris alone

[JamesBugatti]

@RAPALUTION Rihanna is the fuckin devil! something wrong with her!

[ladodger85]

@JamesBugatti hahahaha really though

[LEG4CY917]

needs a little more soul



[BigDaddyCaveman]

What does Chris Brown know about being tender? Did you see what he did to Rihanna's face?

[LEG4CY917]

@Nztektonik what about 0 likes? cause that's what it's looking like right now..

[JohnsLazy]

@Nztektonik have you done it yet? we want a video!

[Trodessa7]

@Nztektonik wow 4real!?!

[krystle286]

@Nztektonik lol 37 thumbs up...singing on your teachers desk it is...i wanna see a vid ill be waiting.

[12HATERLUVER]

@Nztektonik make a vid of it

[palpatine17]

@ilovemyDOPENESS:

Let's see YOU come up with something more clever...

[kingcam0775]

This is really good, better than I expected... But that's more because of the music than his voice, even though he sounds great. He's just not even close to Otis, not even close...

[SuperfastjelIy]

It's so slow that it kinda throws off the whole feeling of the song.

[iSillySwagsz]

@iBreezy2013 ok calm down cracker

[jesus287]

watch?v=TXmLjbTBcdU

just saying :)

[palpatine17]

Try a little tenderness when not smacking your woman around...

[ilovemyDOPENESS]

@palpatine17 *Cough* Thats old As F*ck *Cough*

[aliciakeys234love]

@palpatine17 true dat but he did do good on the song thoe he shud of thought bout this after smacking rihanna but i 4 give him

[dominicanange]

This song is soo amazing i loved this song right wen i heard it in this christmas Chris Brown. I love the movie 2

[fishman724]

Nice try but no one could ever sing this song with as much soul that Otis had!

[24MrsRight]

Fantastic. :)

[RoboticsTM]

Go Otis Redding

[RoboticsTM]

@RoboticsTM Good version of Otis Redding, good job Chris

[Mikenorvell]

To all you simpleton idiots...listen with your ears, and then your heart...if you like it, if it moves you, then listen again..if not, then go find a song you do like ....Merry Christmas to all that can find peace in their hearts..

[AListKing]

Otis Redding made it famous. So Merry Christmas to all.

[iBreezy2013]

Chris played the role of a young man nervous about singing in public for the first time and had to hide the fact that he can sing his ass off at home because of his father and his oldest brother and for him to be continuously compared to Otis Redding is a compliment..And to all the ignorant people out there Otis Redding did not originate this song, this song was written by white folks and sung by white folks.

[8gking]

@iBreezy2013 OK AND THEY SAID OTIS MADE IT FAMOUS NOT NO DAMN "WHITE FOLKS" THATS WHY DON'T NOBODY KNOW THAT SHIT.

[bashful661]

this is a jam

[xopegirl99]

this reminds me of Otis! for some reason

[AListKing]

@xopegirl99 otis the Jay Z song or Otis Redding, the original artist of this song

[gotmoney100000]

@AListKing no he's not. white people made the song first

[RoCKxSTeaDY00]

@xopegirl99 This is his song......? Lol

[tyjuantv124]

@babibeckyboo1234 you were the one talking about him being a woman beater so i told you to shut the hell up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which is what you need to do and stop being a hating b**** you anit no chris brown fan you just a other hater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MizzLocaCanSanG]

I LOve Chris brown nd this song<33



[P90smuv]

lmao ive made a major mistake!! this is NOT Otis Redding! ....SIGH at the impersonators

[loveandpeacebrox]

@orangemma68 f*ck up, and get a life. Get a little tenderness into you're life and stop hating on CB.

[ellochum5]

He made rhiannas face tender lololololol

[orangemma68]

this is so bad it makes me die inside! he kills it, literally.

[lukeslonergan]

this is a mans song chris brown's voice is way too soft lol hes how old and still sounds like hes 16

[bricksquadgoon817]

i still like otis redding but chris aint to bad either

[tyjuantv124]

@babibeckyboo1234 stop hating on chris

[babibeckyboo1234]

@tyjuantv124 How am i hating on chrisbrown when clearly im on his side,you dumbshet,dont say anything if you dont know what im on about..fool!

[XOMISSBR33ZYOX]

i don't get why people come on Chris' songs to say dumb shit, lol Chris don't care what you got to say, at the end of the day he made money from doing this in the movie while your sat on youtube leaving comments which he will never see. HAHAHAHAHA it's quite funny actually.

[sprngh2o]

He's a punk ass little bitch

[Lalaloverz89]

Love this song too much Chris Brown did his thing on here! Love you chris

[takemywholelifetoo]

i really can't understand why people aren't feeling it, i thinks its an amazing cover

[tyjuantv124]

@babibeckyboo1234 you need to shut the hell up and get a life

[babibeckyboo1234]

@tyjuantv124 i already got a life you fucking prick! going on about how chris brown beat up rihanna is old news get the fuck over it,his not perfect,everyone has/will do stuff in their life that they will regret! make me shut the fuck uppp,you fuckin haterrr!

[kittydreamz86]

He shouldn't have covered this. His voice isn't seasoned enough- and honestly it could be because he hasn't got the experience to back up what the song's about. Not feeling it.

[ttgotswag]

i love the chris brown version of most songs, his voice is so ...smoooooth. <3

[gluemonster300]

Damn, someone already beat me to the Rihanna joke? lol This version of the song pales in comparrison to the Otis Redding version.

[maybe1daywellwakeup]

This Christmassssssssss<3

[savannaleigh11]

i love this song ! i first heard it last night in "this christmas" and i absolutly LOVE it ! especially because it CHRIS BROWN <333

[WJStubbs]

Sqeeze her dont beat her!

[savannaleigh11]

@WJStubbs wow! thats kinda burnt.......true but still burnt.... pretty sure he's past all that ish in his life ? you gotta admit he sounds pretty amazing in this songg ! :)

[babibeckyboo1234]

@WJStubbs that shxts old,we'r tired of hearing it! just cut the bullshxt-.-

[kittydreamz86]

@babibeckyboo1234 It's the price you pay for being a fan of a woman beater. This ain't a news feed, it's a character flaw.

[mindlesslilthang]

mercadies did it da BEST im not even a fan of glee

[samjohnsmith2011]

THIS SHOWS HOW GREAT CHRIS REALLY IS! LOVE YA CHRIS!

[wibubba]

449 people know that Otis Redding did the DEFINITIVE version of this song. Sorry Mr. Brown, but you pale in comparison. Long Live Otis Redding.

[iBreezy2013]

@wibubba Chris played the role of a boy who was nervous to sing in public for the first time. Otis Redding did the song seriously and for Chris to definitely do the damn thing and be compared to a "legend" is a compliment more than criticism. I'm sure he appreciates it.

[ckcato97]

i luv 3:54 - 4:00 !!!

[SparrowThe4]

Oh my,I just compared Otis Redding with this remake of his song.Chris Brown did a Beautiful job.Very good Chris,Beautiful!!!!

[liamjenright]

Not bad, but a little too slick sounding. The great thing about the Otis version is that his vocal is so raw and intense. This sounds pretty, but a little too smooth and derivative in comparison to how powerfully Otis sang it (and yes, he is inviting that comparison just by covering this).

[Moiio93]

This song makes me happy..

[ThatGEEKChanel]

Otis Redding's version is REALLY good! and this is a GREAT cover! but really you cant compare otis redding and chris brown. dont look at it that way XD

[franklysaidx]

the best cover i've ever heard

[johngiang3]

@franklysaidx i don't even consider this a cover. this is a christmas song.

[crowmatic1]

Was listening to Otis so I could get the chords for this great song and clicked the link for Chris. Really glad I did because this is a wonderful performance by a great singer.

[BTRGRL881]

LOVE IT!!!!!!

[phenomenus01]

:D

[DodgeRamBoy11]

Lol I like that HBO commercial with the trueblood classic!

[sierralp7]

Love him:)

[sprinklez1999]

Do you think he tried tenderness with Rihanna? O.o

[PureOwnage1030]

@sprinklez1999 yes

[Chreshawn12]

@sprinklez1999 do people forgive,regret, & forget?

[shareety]

@sprinklez1999 WTF ???

[themastermind1551]

@sprinklez1999 im sure he was a lot more tender with your mother

[ilovemyDOPENESS]

@sprinklez1999 Yeah.

[Trixiescreamyname]

@devonanddraigan wait OTIS REDDING IS DEAD?

[devonandraigan]

@Trixiescreamyname Yeahh !

[samanthassecretlover]

@Trixiescreamyname He died at 26.

[tyjuantv124]

@samanthassecretlover who died at 26???????

[EclecticPerspective]

@samanthassecretlover - Otis Redding died in a plane crash at the age of 26.

[devonandraigan]

If Otis Redding Was Alive Today To Hear Chris Sing This, He Would Be So Proud ! I Love My Fave So Much ! (; ♥

[jasperwoods]

@devonandraigan Woman beater lover

[simsgirl199]

@jasperwoods He has talent and just because you are his fan does not mean you support what they do outside of their music.

[Erniesduck123]

For all y'all arguing, Donkey had the best version ok?

[xWiKKeDx]

No

[brettloves12]

this song is amzing listen to lyrics it awsome

[ijojo89]

@PercyBitch lmao...

[PercyBitch]

Woooow this is the worst SHIT ive ever heard

[mariamacontehisback]

@PercyBitch your kiddin right lol just asking

[SharayDahBaddest]

@PercyBitch Isee you a HATER and your name really does define you a BITCH. If you don't like the music stfu and don't listen to it.

[SuperSwaqqedOut]

@SharayDahBaddest hes just stating his opinion lol

[AmyDami17]

Chris Brown is a talented young man. Otis Redding is a timeless classic man that long after his passing will never die. I agree with you UuDonKnowMe, Otis would be proud. For a young man doing a timeless classic he did a good job. But yes mommyeatmon he lacks that "UH UH UH" that Otis gave us lol. That comes with time and experience. That's the old days. They are long and forgotten. There will be no other artists like that anymore it seems. Nice imitation though. Thought he did good.

[ARBELL1982]

Not bad, CHRIS BROWN ain't bad on this song, but he JUST don't that soul fire that OTIS REDDING had

[Riley4507]

You got to want to try, juss try, juss try, a little tenderness

Is there a witness in the building tonight

You gotta want to want to try, just try a little tenderness

Try a little tenderness

Squeeze her, don't tease her, neva leave her

Hold her, grab her softly now

Just Try a little...

[UuDonKnowMe]

I thought it was really good, Otis would be proud

[Kiin97]

Chris Brawn <3

[maleshah100]

that was cool

[SoloSoundMusic]

Why do old people like to hate so much? lol

both Otis & Chris are talented...

[MsRandyorton1997]

i love this song 

[Lily2pretty4u]

All you bitches bitchin about chris brown! Yall need to shut the fuck up because it happened along time ago ! Have you heard anything bout hiim now a days ???? NO SO SHUT THE FUCK UP (: And I love this song soooo muchhh <3

[Lily2pretty4u]

@Lily2pretty4u

[mommyeatmon]

@Lily2pretty4u : lol same ishh i been sayin!!

[Lily2pretty4u]

[sheynaloveee]

yall bitching over some shit that happened YEARS ago -____ shut the ENTIRE fuck up . build a bridge , and get over it . thanks .

[shintanakamura]

I think Chris Brown should stick to beating up Rihanna, at least that's what's he's good at

[maleshah100]

@shintanakamura thats green

[elmoly123]

check out amber riley

[Kiddsolo1994]

it was a good attempt but he jus doesnt have the voice like otis had

[IZREALMUZIK]

OK ALREADY  LETS NOT OVER DO IT

[itscomelybri]

otis <3

[EICHIBOY2]

Haha how fucking hypocritical of Chris Brown. I am sure Rihanna really got some of that tenderness

[WheezyBurgah]

@EICHIBOY2 oh shut the fuck up that happened 3 nearly gon be 4 years ago CRY ABOUT IT.

[junaid113]

he ruined the track to be honest, a classic should never ever ever ever be fucked with. its like lil wayne recording 2pacs songs....i dont even have to say how bad that will turn out

[iBreezy2013]

Chris sung the shit out of this song. SING CHRIS!!!!! Otis Redding may have been the originator, but you're the innovator! Do the damn thang my love!

[SectorRhyme]

@iBreezy2013 Rihanna also thought he was "my love"

[cameronmurray]

@iBreezy2013 otis isn't even the originator, and chris brown beats woman.

[JevinBruhBruh]

stop comparing him to otis redding seriously its a good song their both good singers and they both did a good job on their own versions
