[smatthewsauthor]

I think you can hear Prince actually doing the background vocals...???

[avramsdad]

He TOTALLY jacked the clap from "If I Was Your Girlfriend". Love this track though.

[metallikealuminium]

[ZONEdaTAGGER]

[stylinhomo]

[risetilldeath]

[AllTheSame711]

[trevorglvr]

funny how there was a commercial about MORMONS before this song lol

[LilMissRedVelvet13]

omg wow this guy is so cool and definitly my style lol hahaha

low key but crazy at the same time im feelin it <3

[wordofmouthrevisited]

this is like Har Mar Superstar meets Prince, only they both have more interesting lyrics, less derivative style, less synth....we all play synth. Yawn... great voice though, credit.

[loveedigveggies1004]

Prince!!!!!!! you can hear the influence BIG time.... I love you Sam Sparro

[justinb3bieber]

@loveedigveggies1004 ikr i tought it was prince too lol!!

[Sonorite]

Prince for sure

[xhaQ]

it reminds me of a classic prince song.

[ertoberto2]

well your lavish life might appear delicious

but not particularly nutritious :P

[theloveinus]

All of Mark Ronson's new material is awesome. I've been watching his video for "Bang Bang Bang" with Q-Tip, and "The Bike Song" on a consistent basis because they are so ill...

[odeaw]

Chuck!!!

[bitchlewinsky]

like OMG^^

[Vallentine08]

people keep posting things like: is he gay?!... people keep saying: he sounds like princ.... well you know what people, it really doesnt matter he has a good voice and thats all that matters right????????? lol

right!!!

[PeneloWeazel]

@Vallentine08

You are right! :D

Even though he's a gay, Australian singer who moved to Cali as a kid, he is a talented singer! :D

[allibeanie]

@PeneloWeazel Even though? How would any of these factors impede his ability to sing?

[PeneloWeazel]

@allibeanie

I don't think they would at all. I think he's a super amazing badass. :3

[daire15curran]

once again thank god 4 chuck

[thatstephgal]

@itsedgore he does sound black! other people think i'm crazy when i say that.

[ten710]

agreed i thought he was black

[moraiho]

is he gay???

[xaviSF]

@moraiho yes

[ebonypocahontas]

@moraiho On the internet in certain sources it says he is. I dont assume that though cuz I havent heard him say it so it doesnt even matter.

[Tmartin4]

so Prince! I love it.

[charminganime234]

oh gawd it's prince again OAO !!!!!

[nikkiday55]

@ZibRocker So did mine! for spring show

[nobondries]

[audzaudzaudz]

[falcon8025]

@audzaudzaudz i love these kinda of voices :)

[whiplash5533]

[mrsjamespotter210]

2:00-2:12 is the best!

[DaarkDestiny]

I love his style. I don't dance but when I listen to his music I can't sit still lol. Sam is awsome.

[PeggyKoneko]

They used this song for the latest 30Rock ad on Comedy Central ^^b Nice choice!!

[LDT1990]

DAY-YUM! First notes out of his mouth, I thought he WAS Prince! This guy's got some crazy range!

[DaarkDestiny]

lol. Prince's lovechild lol. That is so fricking funny.

[WeaverBaskets]

[phospholipasec]

[CaptainSpork7]

What does he mean by "If you wipe the BOLIVIAN from the mirror," ? What is he referring to?

[esria]

Cocaine

[CaptainSpork7]

I love this song! I wish it was a little longer than 3:05 min.

[Mysteria2468]

this song sounds so much like Prince its not even funny!!!!!

[Fentharr]

He is like an Australian Prince! I was saying that just the other day!

[MomyMora]

i said he was like a white prince..... but i did not know he was Australian... this boy can sing!!

[kitkatkafrin]

omgoshh thats where i recognised the voice haha! thought i was goin crazy!

[larrydallas187]

his voice sounds like Marvin Gaye in this song. I know what your Prince too: the layered vocals.

[spicyeve]

yes it does! that's why it grooves so harrrrrd hahahaha i love this song

*permanent falsetto* lmao

[justinforever88]

@Mysteria2468 I said the same thing!! glad someone is rocking this type of sound again lol

[godislovewoo]

that looks like gabe saporta and cobra starship has the same name in one of their songs...coincidence..

[acciopantaloon]

@godislovewoo cept ummmmm gabe saporta sucks ass and hes not hot...whereas sam sparro makes awesome music and is practically the hottest man alive

[godislovewoo]

@acciopantaloon umm...okay that's not a fact, it's your opinion, i don't really care, i didn't even say anything negative. I just compared 2 people.

[acciopantaloon]

@godislovewoo yeah, I know. :) I just like to voice my opinion sometimes, excuse me if I was offending your opinions dude, really.

[chantaldegroat]

Well.... Don't YOU just know everything about everything. One's life's work grows and expands beyond any borders someone else happens to construct in their way. I know Sam personally, and to know him is to understand why he is meant for greatness. I hope we all get the chance to know him. He has the gift.

[michelledt92]

how do u kno sam?

[chantaldegroat]

We are friends.

[michelledt92]

@chantaldegroat thats cool, i always wanted to kno his real last name, do u kno it?

[chantaldegroat]

Yes, I know his name... I don't want to reveal it without his consent though. Sammy Sparrow is his nickname from childhood... His next album is off the chain, by the way! Coming at ya very soon!

[michelledt92]

idk some how i dnt believe u esp when u spelt sparro with a w and thats not how he spells his name

[chantaldegroat]

I'm telling you what his nickname WAS, not what his name has BECOME. I'm not the kind of person who lies about knowing someone that I don't actually know-

[michelledt92]

oookk

[chantaldegroat]

Hey but seriously, I wrote in to respond to someone else... He's a great artist, and we have something in common- we dig his music! That's what matters. Peace and Happy New Year!

[michelledt92]

yea his music is amazzingg i lovee it!

happy new year to u too!

[Ashenfly]

I am going to be so pissed off if you are lieng. I am his biggest fan, you will talk to me :] do you have a myspace?

[MrMiser27]

Prince is music in human form. He plays anything he touches flawlessly (except brass horns but he's still probably pretty good on those too). This guy is no where near Prince's dimension. Not even close.

[MusicPhene17]

Prince without a doubt. Except in my opinion I think he will be better than Prince at some point he is just tooo damn talented not to blow way up sometime soon

[ThePoetCherryMoon]

Umm I don't know about BETTER than Prince. I mean, PRINCE, the guy's a genius. But I do hope Sam blows up very soon, he is extremely talented.

[aardbeiensoep]

don't get why he's not at the top of the world right now. His songs are so great.

the only 'worldwide succes' according to the charts in Holland was Black&Gold.

[sweetcaks4u]

AGR33D.!! PRiNC3.!! lol

[himynameishelen]

lmao, this album was released like a year and a half ago, and he only looks like Gabe in this picture because he's wearing white aviators and a cap :P

[NattieAndAllie1]

he sounds like prince mate.

[VIVALASTEPHANI3]

No.

[feastyoureyesx]

TO THE PERSON WHO IMPLIED HE COPPIED HOT MESS FROM COBRA STARSHIP;

this song was released way before cobrastarship had thier album so ner ner

[madrereus16]

stupid people can't stand new data in their brain, that's how comparisons start... sorry, but it's true.

[Zeaky0arteest]

WORD. It's frustrating to hear.

[msnubootysux]

damn he is soo good and sexy!!

[WesDavisJr]

totally sounds like Prince lol

[tigeress1]

sam has a gospel upbringing, a voice born with soul and an obsession with funk &disco, what a combo, oozing with talent :)

[biguy21]

sam is currently working on his next album i cant wait for it to come out

[ItsEdGore]

i thought sam sparro was black for a while... i just found he's white when i saw the music video for black and gold :O

[erithornpwnsatwow]

i know me 2 hahahhaha just found out he was white today

[klovehottie]

@ItsEdGore lmao I did too!!! until I saw that vid and i hear it on SL really enjoyed it lol

[chihanachan]

@ItsEdGore He's Austrailian too I think, don't quote me on it, lol.

[ikization]

@ItsEdGore ik! i thought the same thing.... kind of weird

[luvzchocollate]

@ItsEdGore omg me too!!!!! lol

[MissSterious97]

@ItsEdGore Jeez. People can be so ignorant.

[falcon8025]

@ItsEdGore same here i had to check on you tube

[marzipan725]

@ItsEdGore OMG. The same thing just literally happened to me!! Lol. I've finally started listening to him. And when I watched the Black & Gold video, I was like....whoa!! He's WHITE!! Lmao! He just has an awesome souful and jazzy voice that's just not characteristic of whites, typically...that's why I assumed that he wasn't white! Lol.

[Tilara]

@ItsEdGore I just discovered he wasn't black 5 mins ago. This mans seriously talent. I love his voice.

[SilentCrucifixtion]

@ItsEdGore LMAO so did I!!!!

[justinb3bieber]

@ItsEdGore hes really french lol

[ItsEdGore]

@justinb3bieber umm im positive hes australian :/

[TheNICKIEB]

@ItsEdGore born in Australia, but of Portuguese descent =)

[themiddleofthefilm]

@ItsEdGore Me too!! I'm kinda disappointed :P

[QuixoticXmischief]

LOL.

He's good, but I don't fancy this song so much.

[Missmuffinmcgee]

Prince's long lost lovechild

[butterflysuper12]

Dear god yes.

[eggzilleraten]

@Missmuffinmcgee hahaha thats for sure!!

[urbspce]

love this....a guy in a music shop convinced me to buy sam's CD, and its sooo worth it, very kool album!

[bt55]

same style and looks exactly like trouble andrew

[mimirockeusedumonde]

i luuuuuuv his song tooo much !!

[S0diumchl0ride]

other than the huge hit black & gold, not many people listen to sam sparro, which is a shame 'cause he is amazing! ;D love this song. :)

[david5553155]

I listen to him, and I think he´s simply brilliant!!

[theogmoneyman]

i agree with you, but after hearing these songs and his cover to american boy, im definately out there tomorrow and buying his c.d.

[kobacha]

WHITE PRINCE or... whiter prince lol xD

prince needs a tan

[cheezfri]

Definitely sounds like a Prince cover, lol. He also reminds me of Jamiroquai sometimes.

[jlg1906]

i thought the exaaaaaaaaaaact same thing when i first heard this track.

[eugene1]

I thought of Prince in the first second then Jamiroquai 3 seconds later.

[auxbla]

I thought the same, followed by Gnarls Barkley 10 seconds later.

[chickwithatrick]

listening to sam sparro is like having repeated audiorgasms. so fucking hot

[steerpike66]

He's the perfect IT boy, and he's fun, and clever, and really talented, and doesn't posture about like Justin (I'm not a weasel: I'm a big tough heterosexual) Timberlake.

Role model (and sex-bomb)

[elitefamily1]

you can tell that he listens to prince and de'angelo man this dud is cool. And the thing is he is white man this is far out

[notaflop86]

wow i`m 25000...

he`s got better songs...

[jorged06]

Cool tune, i love it!

Reminds me of Prince a lot. The new generations need to drink more of that fountain...

[SexyFatKid]

This totally reminded me of Prince, too. I love this song.

[Xtrakoolness]

there will never be another like prince.. but i miss this sound.. i love it! sparro is great!

[jaymaase]

GREAT SONG....he has a good vocal range!!

[ambzandcarlz]

thanks SEXUAL HAHAHA LOVIN

[Nilo1992]

prince and michael jackson have already done all this ! sam sparro has an amazing voice but he needs to stop biting other music artists wagger/style !!!

[ryanbelknap]

Eat it. Prince and Michael stopped doing stuff like this years ago. Cottonmouth has changed my life, Sam Sparro I'm in love. Marry me in Vermont!

[blaza4200]

wtf is wagger?

[mrsjamespotter210]

soooo sexy

[freakyafronaut]

so wonderful! i hope he does a video for this--and i hope it ain't half-assed like 21st century life. seriously, that video sucked. black-and-gold was such a beautifully crafted video... to follow it up with 21st's shitty video really sucked.

[yomacris]

I think 21st century life had a much better video than black&gold. It was much more original and in my opinion better.

I do agree of him making a video of this song. It is really catchy.

[duddmeister]

I agree he is bringing back electro funk

[omeingottube]

Bitch is fierce

[bjmob77]

i'm a hot mess, sam rocks...

[omeingottube]

Ummm... YES YES and more YES.

[iROCKm8]

i saw him live yesterday.

AMAZING.

anybody who has the nerve to say anything about his voice, really does need a head check.

his voice blew me away maaaan! he's even better live than on his album!

<3

[johanvdgraaf]

Yes indeed, start threatening...

great song tho ;)

[brisvegasrox]

this rox my sox off.

[ElectricIntercourse7]

even more like prince =D wish he was writtng better stuff like this now days

[Cashback13]

Well it's Not 1980 and Prince isn't doing the Dirty Mind Album anymore! Which this could easily put in the middle of and no one would never know!

[ElectricIntercourse7]

he certainly isnt

[padraigkilkenny13]

I meant dig

[padraigkilkenny13]

Sorry when prince was good, it also sound like it has a break from forewver in my life?

[padraigkilkenny13]

Track reminds me a little of when prince good.

Sam Sparro is Shit hot, check out his live stuff his voice has a great sound.

[Cashback13]

Prince has never Not been good! He just became less popular because he didn't make music to suit everybody else for a change! The Voice does sound very similiar on this track though!

[padraigkilkenny13]

Sorry I did not mean it like that, I am a big Prince fan, I just remeber the good old days.

prince is a legend and i still did his music.
