Tim Urban - Under My Thumb - American Idol 2010 - TOP 12

[MRWARTHRASH]

tim urban sucks freakkkkk¿¿¿?¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿­¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿



[sallygirl2066]

He has a great voice he just made this song sound completely horrible just saying i love the stones and he made this song suck just saying

[beckys757]

Guys, he's very sweet and obviously has a lot of passion for music. I support him in everything he does.

[Tunissan]

The problem isn't that he can't sing (he can, quite obviously). But he sings "Under My Thumb" like a romantic soppy ballad. Mick Jagger practically sneered the lyrics out.

[jimmysjimjams]

really not liking this. Nothing wrong with his singing, just a really, really poor arrangement. not usually one for complaining about music, as i figure that any new version just brings a different spin, but this is just incredibly drab and boring.

[matioca22]

I love love love this version!!! I know all rolling stones fans will hate me, but after hearing this version, everytime I think of this song I remember it like Tim sings it here....:) I love it! I think he did great!

[iloveorangeandblack]

So, why'd you upload this video if you think Tim is bad and were just gonna put a description bashing him? That seems pointless.

[xXDazzlerXx]

He has a great voice AND he's soo cute. Most singers these days can't even freaking sing!!! I Hate that he got voted off!

[thprfssnl1]

way to butcher a beautiful song

[Laladoll11]

@thprfssnl1 Way to understand what the songs about... Its a nice song, and catchy 2. ITS NOT BEAUTIFUL. Its about a boy controling a woman. Its about abusing a girlo friend. Its not beautiful -.-

[Bridgosaurus]

i love tim oh so ridiculously much!

[cathhherinemo]

he doesn't suck at singing, but i don't like this cover at all... i don't like how modern artists 'ruin' such great songs for me. sorry people, it's my honest opinion... i have as much of a right to post this as does anyone else.

[genbug89]

I love the reggae rendition of this song!! It's a very easygoing tune and its catchy!!

[l0r3st0]

tim was one of the few if not the only idol this season to look at the camera while performing. idols forget that looking at the camera is more important than looking at the audience who don't vote.

[fusillijerry86]

By all rights, he should have been sent packing the next night, but there were too many 10-year-old girls staying up all night texting in rapid-fire for him just because he's cute.

[fusillijerry86]

Entertainment Weekly ranked this as Idol's 13th worst performance, and who am I to argue; it is to America's shame that he would make it all the way to the top 7 at the expense of Katie Stevens.

[MissKalleeUrban]

3 words. He. Is. HAWT!!

[kaniamia]

Yes, nothing wins over a nation-wide audience like a song about being a misogynist.

While we're at it, let's break out the "I Wanna Talk About Me" and "I'm Too Sexy."

[PsychLion]

I'd want to be under more than his thumb. hehe

[urbanite103]

I like this version better than the Stones! I'm downloading it to my ipod. Tim has an awesome voice, so smooth and a perfect pitch.

[ellaelise]

@urbanite103 How could you possibly think that!?

[Cameronn90]

@urbanite103 WHAT IS UR PROBLEM ARE U HARD AT HEARING?!!!!

[izzy6197]

tim is ok not great

[Stormeyworld]

I gave you a thumbs down for your stupid comment.

Tim is the best one from all of them. He's got it all. Talent, looks, personality...etc.

You don't know real talent when you see it.

cheers! :-)

[rspkingdude]

I'd say his voice isn't good enough for solo but it is above average. It was as good as my voice for the first few weeks after the top 24 but he did get a little better.

[peanutxoxo91]

Tim is amazing, even if he got voted off id still buy his cd

[sinborn41214]

DauntaQue if you are a vocal coach who thinks this choad is good, you need some new ears, like most of america. This performance is worthy of a karaoke bar on a tuesday afternoon. Don't think you can make money with comments like this.

It's no wonder music has a bunch of pop tarts who can't sing, running through autotune. Most folks wouldn't know a good singer even if they turned the damn thing off.

[victorvillegas88]

yeah he is amazing

[joaooo222]

This is the best performance of him,..the rest are shit!

[MacDonaldGray]

@DauntaQue well this guy is capable of singing in tune. His pitch is fine but his tone is bland and not interesting. He already sounds like a cheesy Las Vegas lounge singer. So far he's gotten by on his looks and a very average voice. But it seems to be working for Justin Bieber so who's to say what will happen. I am always surprised at the number of "professional" singers out there that have a tin ear or can't carry a tune for their life so saying that doesn't add any credence to your argument.

[AyuniShaari]

err, for the haters..

if you dont like him, dont be such a busybody to watch this video..

u guys just wasting time of ur life watching somebody that u hate.

if i hate somebody i will avoid myself from seeing them or talk about them.. so get a life.

its his faith to stay on AI, just get over it!

[TimmehUrbanDominates]

Timmeh Urban is the second coming of Christ.

[maddiecheneyxo]

i love what he did with this version annd hes really good so everybody who says "he sucks" obviouusly know nothing abouut music. and if you dont like him why are you commenting this ? talk abouut no life, go get one ! i love tim <333

[l0r3st0]

you'd think that a complete rearrangement of the song would not work. but this one did. the more i listen to it, the more impressed i am by tim's talent. he made it work for his voice, and kinda gives you an idea of the songs he'll be writing and recording. he is an artist who knows who he is and stays true to it.

[icl96]

he ruined that song. he didnt even put in the kickass bass line the stones use .

[nywies]

True, he has potential, but that thing is, he isn't as good as most of the others. Honestly, I think that Didi should've stayed so Tim can get better at home and catch up so he actually deserves staying, instead of blocking out the other people ahead of him's opportunities with a swish of his hair, a smile, and a thousand votes from idiot prep girls.

[thejayc2]

u guys shouldn't be bashing on diz guy.,u guys don't obviously understand de beauty of music. he is only smiling to be comfortable and his trying to look ahead to be relaxed n stuff..i kno people hav different opinions but if u don't like him y consider watching his singing performance.

[devegus]

Great performance!

[lemonphantom]

I like him! I like his voice.... It has a nice tone to it..and I think out of all the contestants, he listens to the judges the most even though they make fun of him for smiling all the time.....

[esahn1]

Close your eyes and listen to him. There are literally thousands of people who sound better than him. The sad thing is that this was by far his best performance. The majority of his performances have been garbage.

[sdtdance]

I actually really like his voice. It's soothing.

[Deliciousfruit233]

This guy's worse than the Jonas Brothers.

[Creepoo14]

lmao

tim has been in the bottom 3 sence the show started.

[Lisbratzs02]

Luv Time Urban and his amazing voice!! :)

[omgfro]

He -does- suck. To the 'professional vocalist' you must judge singers simply by pitch. Tim is a bad performer/singer. He's not dumb, though. He's playing up to his strengths (smiling at the gals and guys that like him over at VFTW). He's the lucky one this year, there's always one in the bunch.

[caseyd528]

u dont know wat ur tlking about, if u thik hes bad, look at the people got voted off, he beat them didnt he

[cococahoo]

i'm sorry to all the lovie doviieee girls out there, but he should have gone home instead of Didi, in my opinion. i don't hate him, but i don't like him either. he's just a little bit blahhhh to me.

[iluvdanny567]

He did really good on this!

[doycohamco]

He may not be the best but he isn't bad either. But yeah I agree, someone could be better than him. Although, I still like him.

[Doncaprix]

I liked this version also

[cafe9802]

Hey, a reggae beat has obviously been incorporated in this hit originally done by none other than the Rollingstone, and you know what, I liove it, I really like this uptempled version which is leaning on the side of a raggae/pop mix. Five stars for a job well done!

[kikflip108]

kids got some reggae vibes.

[honglodo]

his looks doesnt touch me i dont care he is cute or not but u must admit he is a good singer

and he deserve to compete to win u r jealous from him just listen to him

[raboston728]

Yiccccccch, America, we have the sequel to Sanjaya, at the WORST possible time.

Send this kid HOME.

[tastybrownies]

@raboston728

Seriously, someone I agree with. This kid is an absolute total joke and didn't even deserve to be in the top 24 and beyond.

He was just neutral to me before, but after he fucked up one of my favorite songs by the Stone's, he's on the death list now along with john winger.

[CeciliaIsHyper]

Gack I hate hm so much! He's only on here because Girls my age think he's cute, which he sure as hell isn't

[rrring99]

I've been tearing this guy up...but his version of this song is dope...he should stay with the ska vibe all the way...every song...I've never seen the judges miss so badly....they just want him gone

[Americanguy1776]

I like this version much better than the original as well. Nice to hear something different for a change!

[jadakitty95]

hey kaygrek if you want him to go home then why did you put his video up im so sick of everyone dissing him hes amazing i hope he wins

[vaporage]

You people just like him for his looks, admit it. He sucks as a singer...

You girls just say he's an amazing singer so you can feel better with him staying on american idol.

[iheartMRLambert]

I actually really like this version.

[wutup2]

wierd

[blindnation0]

i am not a big fan of his .. but wow i gotta give credit to that you just cant say that wasnt good .. it was very pleasing to listen to

[Lisbratzs02]

This was amazing, i actually like this version so much better than the original version!!!!!! I don't know what people were thinking by putting him into the bottom 3!!!! Everyone has to vote!!!!

[mredline1]

i like him, i think he's a good singer but i honestly don't see him lasting another week.

[popgasmstreet]

i loved this version of the song, but then, i had also smoked a huge bowl before watching it.

[anagirl21]

he's actually really good.

im so surprised.

really good.(:

[lordrampage]

this guy is the best of the best!!!

[believer06]

This is better than the original IMO. It's amazing how so many are under the control of the judges... bunch of mindless robots repeating what they say and believing it to boot. Now THAT'S bazaar.

[DauntaQue]

Obviously, all the commentors below who say that "he sucks" ect. don't know singing if it hit them in the head...I am a professional vocalist/ voice coach, and his pitch was good and his tone is incredible. With a little improvement, he can be amazing! So, to most of the commentors below-YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT AND YOU ARE JUST CHOOSING A RANDOM PLAYER IN THE GAME TO BASH, because you don't even know what is going on!

[Crusaderrak]

exactly the judges just suck this season ....

[klongs]

@DauntaQue Well that's scary if you're a vocal coach. I'm a singer and if you think Tim Urban's tone is 'incredible" then you must have the most bland and boring tone known to man, or you have no ear. Tim Urban has nothing interesting about his tone whatsoever. And he get's very "kermit the frog" in his higher register because he doesn't have good support. I'll give you that he doesn't "suck," but, relative to everyone else on the show, and relative to people who already went home, HE SUCKS.

[cafe9802]

@klongs Hey! a singer so what, there may be a million singers but there are only a thoasand coaches. Talking about him as tho he dosen't know what's what is like talking down to a teacher as a student. The teacher took seven years of university and your just anoyhrt student...and you @klongs are just another singer, if you ask me, I believe your zeleous of someone on American Idol.

[DauntaQue]

@cafe9802

Thank You! I AGREE!

[Kyles45Angel]

@DauntaQue IF this were true you would know Di di Benami got voted off because this guy is cute.She was the better artist.

[QAnimosity]

@DauntaQue - I have to admit, this song's actually not too bad. But there's a reason, why people are bashing him, listen to his version of apologize and you'll understand. He should have been off the show ages ago. He's got too many chances.

[believer06]

@DauntaQue dont feed the trolls. theyre just very childish. Yeah, Ive been involved with music for going on 32 years myself. Tim has a very pure tone and very good pitch and control. I know singers who have been performing longer than Tim's been on Earth who arent 1/2 as good.

[tastybrownies]

@believer06

They must be pretty bad singers if they're only half as good as Tim. Frankly, being only half as good as Tim is hard to imagine, even for me. He should have been gone after this ASAP. I always try not to compare the person to the original singer or band, but damn, I want to hear Mick Jagger please.

[believer06]

@tastybrownies Tim's a much better singer than Mick Jagger. Had Jagger tried to make it in music in the 70s onward, he wouldnt have had a chance. I like the Stones, but only because of the songs, not so much their playing. They werent very good as musicians/singers. Just good songwriters. Tim can perform much better.

[tastybrownies]

@believer06

WOW, so you're saying Tim is a better performer than the Stones. Now I've heard it all, just wow. I think you're living in your own little world.

[believer06]

@tastybrownies Im saying he's a better singer than Mick Jagger. Jagger has no range. Live, he almost talks the lyrics. I saw the stone in 1977. He was more of a clown than anything. Journey opened for them. They blew the Stones away.

[rspkingdude]

@believer06 Hear any high notes in his version?

[angeland8]

@believer06 you can't be serious. Really, c'mon.

This Tim guy is sweet and cute and teenage girls will love him, but 'better singer than Jagger'. C'mon.

The only person who sang this song as good as Jagger was Roger Daltrey.

[believer06]

@angeland8 I am not basing my opinion on popularity. Im basing it on technical quality. Daultrey & Jagger arent admired for this." Technically" Tim is a better singer. Tim has more of a range, better tone and control. He's a singer. Jagger and Daultrey are screamers. I like the who and Rolling stones. Not for their musicianship, but for their song writing. They are much better writers than they are musicians. You dont have to be a great musician to write great songs, you know.

[angeland8]

@believer06 technically Tim is good enough only for a boy-band.

[Stormeyworld]

@angeland8

and technically you're not even good enough for anything. cheers!

[angeland8]

@Stormeyworld when one has nothing to say he starts insulting other people.

And you managed to fail even now.

[Stormeyworld]

@believer06

Mick Jagger doesn't have the best voice. He's a pretty good performer and has a good voice but not "wow".

[angeland8]

@tastybrownies nope! You've missed the remark about Urban being better than Roger Daltrey.

NOW, you've heard it all :D

[theultimateultimatum]

@angeland8 who the hell said that? i saw the who 2 years ago, and his voice is still better than this kdis, wow, how stupid some people are.

[ALDgamer]

@DauntaQue Then why do the judges not like it either?

[Cameronn90]

@DauntaQue SHUT UP WHO CARES HE SUCKS NUTS AT SINGING WHO CARES IF YUR A SINGING COACH WHO IS VOTED OFF NOW AND WHO IS WRONG TIM AND YOU WHO IS GONNA WIN THE ARGUMENT AMERICA OR U!

[LyriczWorld4u]

@DauntaQue I COMPLETELY agree with u. he has tonz of potential!

[davidsj2005]

This is a cool Spring/Summer song.

Luv it. It's not as bad as it seems after

a few listenings. Go Timbo !!

[Likeahorse88]

Ok, im a dude, and when i first heard this song i thought it was only a mildly interesting version, but since i have not been able to stop singing/humming/hearing it in my head.

He has potential, but others are just so far ahead of him at this point imo.

[paradiselostinme]

Yes, I've been singing his version!

[matioca22]

@Likeahorse88 the same thing happens to me!!!

[Crusaderrak]

i actually like this ....

[paradiselostinme]

me too :)

[hafiszzzzzsurvivor]

top 5 (for me):

didi benami

lee dewyze

andrew garcia

tim urban

crystal bowersox

[Kenzienza]

wow. my brain is split in 2. should i judge on looks (VOTE VOTE) or song (just one VOTE

[hinari09]

i like tim urban... even though he's not good as anyone in the show but still he can sing...  i know he can improve his voice.... and he is so cute by the way...

[sofialovesnickjonas1]

i hate him!!!!!

he should go HOME!!!!!!!!!

[rosiethale]

he has no talent i have no f-ing idea y the hell he was on the show in the first place

[Livilulu44]

Hmmm, there were pitch problems, but I applaud him for doing something different, and I don't think he was as bad as the judges made it out he was. He'd better have a killer performance in top 11 though, or he's gone...

[marissaricklefs]

i have to say that tim urban is AMAZING and not NEARLY the worst on the show, he had a bad week but he is a talented person and the boy can sing! I LOVE TIM URBAN!

[taraee]

can anyone say, Kris Allen part 2? another mistake should have never even made the live shows...and what's with the crazy look in his eyes?

[skanxtaz]

LOL sexist song and he didn't even realize!!!!

This guy is undeniably dim.

[12ilovegod]

I'm I the ONLY one on the planet who liked this performance?

[doycohamco]

@12ilovegod I liked it too. I thought it was clean.

[eyeformixing]

@12ilovegod I liked it :D

[Vieshita]

I liked that performance

[Lisbratzs02]

@12ilovegod i loved it too!!!

[tonks1988]

awful

[tonks1988]

"She's the sweetest ......pet in the word" got it Tim?

[TheAnita99]

I applaud him for doing something totally different.

He is such a cool kid. Hope he makes it far.

Love his voice!

[tonks1988]

awful. Didn't he get the memo of what's the meaning of this song or what?

[Caelstraz]

@tonks1988 yeah...this has got to be the most bizarre rendition of this song I've ever heard. And not in a good way.

It's too bad because he's hot as hell...he just can't sing/perform for shitttt. Haha.

[2kewl4skooI]

he did horrible on this one but hes soo hott <3

[4verageMan]

awesome work bro

[ituzzip]

Woah, I don't think I ever realized how sexist that song is until now.

[giggles967]

I Thinkk He Did Real Good(:

Not ANybody Goes And Does That

Great JOB(:

[tiiinkx117]

he my hottie

[TheAnita99]

Great! I am so impressed with Tim. He has been improving every week since the season began. Don´t get what the judges said.

Keep it up Timmy. I will be voting for you.

[rocketruin]

he sucks like crap and he is so ugly like a guy in high school musical...and i agree with simon that he is verging on horrible and that he is so boring and he has a horrible song choice.....

[jammyjo610]

suuuperb underrated cause his looks are too good in comparision to his voice...so the focus has shifted

[huinestine]

I think this was awesome! hello judges????

[kestut]

I think the judges hated this song, not because of the arrangement, but because he would dare to sing a song about how a man controls what his woman does. TABOO subject matter.

[lrwest16]

this is the only time i have actually liked him

[randomname349]

The night after this, Kara basically threw Tim under the bus and said something like "after watching it again, I realized it was bad". Well, after watching it again, I like it even more. So fuck off Kara.

[dororokerokero]

can you guys tell me which part of him is hot coz i just couldn't see it..well, i find this performance quite boring..alex lambert could have sing this much better..

well, it isn't tim's fault for alex being eliminated.. of course it's da voters' fault..for not voting for the talented one..i voted for alex!!!!!!!! hope to see him in the music industry one day..big fan of him!!

[zZanessa4ever]

hes sooo hot

[thydarktiger]

I think he did amazing :)

[jadeelim]

WTF he is still in Idol???

He is not hot,

He is boring,

He really sucks,

He is the weakest contestant so far,

He sang the worst version of Apologize,

Hope he will get booted out soon!!

[wisdommak]

cant agree more

[Fallengirlxoxo]

I believe he got a hair cut. :) Just sayin'. I like the originality he brought to this song ! Makes it better I think. Super glad he was kept in. People should be a bit nicer to him, like geez. He's got skillz !

[TheAnita99]

It´s not Tim´s fault that Alex is not in the competition anymore.

I feel so bad for him that everyone blames him.

I am so glad he stick around. He will blow everyone away next week. I applaud his determination...Go Tim..

[msdinarth]

ikr. :)

[evilportrait]

I always think he's so boring...I hope he's eliminated next week.

[Polkies95]

People this is a singing contest which brings originality. Tim gave a different spin on a Stones song. If you that you were tuning in tonight to listen to the Rolling Stones that would just be crazy. hope the public will see that was a good performance by you not the Rolling Stones and Tim gets the award for doing the most with the least.

[tmrnmm]

I actually liked this BUTTTT he should not have make it i think it's crap that he's on here while Alex Lambert is not! like comon WTF...

[TheAnita99]

I think he was great. he judged were too harsh.

I hope people still keep him in for the tour.. I think he has tons of potential. Plus he is super HOT...

He is great for music and TV. I bet he will have plenty of offers after this. Keep your head high Tim.... I am praying you choose the right song for Top 11 night.

[BobRey2008]

I like it. Tim is one of my Top 6 contenders.

[klongs]

Everyone please stop voting for this kid. If you're wondering why this season sucks it's because people who aren't as talented (Tim Urban) stay on the show while talented people go home.

[loud90]

He shouldn't have made it this far... Go sing for Disney or Six FLags.. not pro level...

[elmister10000]

Boring, please send this guy to his home...

[avatarzurc]

Tim isn't a horrible singer. (He's better than me) But theres nothing I could see that really makes him pop like an American Idol should. He is such a snoozer

[cmilekolkka5]

WTF. Has Tim really listened to the lyrics of this song? Is he f*cking serious with this jaunty reggae arrangement of the song? The lyrics are sinister. This might be one of the most mean-spirited Stones songs ever. Its meant to be performed with edge.

[cmilekolkka5]

Sounds creepily cultish. The sway bots are singing and clapping along. WTF. Has Tim really listened to the lyrics of this song? Is he f*cking serious with this jaunty reggae arrangement of the song? The lyrics are sinister. This might be one of the most mean-spirited Stones songs ever. Its meant to be performed with edge.

[camomilecam]

Jonas copy, nothing more

[RCmack]

This wasn't a good song by Tim.

But Andrew did worse, and I want Andrew to go home. I fear Lacey is going. Lacey doesn't have a fan base full of teenage guys, putting her at a disdvantage. Tim has a fan base loaded with teenage girls.
