Ryan Leslie - How It Was Supposed To Be

[sinkpoheitak]

I can't get enough of this song

[brigazoidz]

these chicks messing up the acapella!

[MozRecklessTV]

Amazinh how some of the cutest chicks are unknown :( great song both of them..

[Skollz92]

classic to my vote

[OsagieAlonge]

Nice but the video is misleading with too many counter scenes...what happened to the girl, why did the other soldier (played by Tyson Beckford) attack him?

[MrMucenik]

@OsagieAlonge oh, so you're wondering how it's supposed to be?

[OsagieAlonge]

@MrMucenik Funny huh?

[MsLexi121212]

this dude is 2 words...EXTREMELY UNDERRATED. I love him!!

[yamyam644]

that whole intro was beautiful!! :') lol LOVVVED IT!!

[lakerrell]

This man is so innovative, original, n real. I so luv his music, his voice, n his style.

GENIUS. Besides my husband looks just like him! Spitting image.

[FryedChicken337]

hold up..> PAUSE II is that Rich Dollarz i seen in the video..? (aka Olivia for LOVE N HIP HOP's manager)

[TheStarwarsplayer]

Be baby!!

[QuickFlickHoe]

hes the beste

[sahara0109]

<3 

[RockwellInfo]

man, this video has me all hitchhiker....2 thumbs, way up, baby!

[MightyMaoTsetung]

visually stunning with an awesome song!

[LloydBanksNigga]

R. Les is always being himself and i like that. not frontin' and sh*t. Respect for you and your music!

[curlii85]

480p for MUCH better audio. your welcome....

[Netnavi7]

Ryan Leslie is a musical prodigy, he plays all his own instruments, produces his own beats, writes his own lyrics, and sings with no gay ass autotune. He isnt even signed to any record label, his music is GODLIKE and cannot be matched by "artist" right now. Thumbs Up if you agree

[dthizz22]

33 people never found out how it was supposed to be.

[OneSBeatz]

Now this, is a music video.

[MalungahuVai]

it is time for all the bigg gurlz to make a stand... :)

[syhnaii007]

@4:43 Is that Olivia's manager from Love & Hip Hop????

[MzQuitaSheree]

@syhnaii007 yes it is i thought i was tha only one that noticed that

[LuvAlexandria]

@syhnaii007 Hahaha yeah!

[bballjunkie73]

underatted dude,ryan lez got mo talent n his pinky than most these wack ass artist hav n they whole body

[Bluejerra]

That girl is gorgeous.

[ValdezAnt]

thats legit video creative.

[Mapajaz]

The acapella in the beginning should've been an interlude or transition on the album!!!

[madsvh666]

i love that the girl isnt the typical musicvideo girl

[executivelance]

@madsvh666

It's ironic because Ryan Leslie only dates model chicks lol

[CawChampionshipWE]

the highlight of the song was the barber shop quartet

[morena1019]

lovee Ryan Leslie and his music!&hearts;

[wifey231]

Classy Ryan is subtly telling the story of what happened between him, Cassie and Diddy. His love interest in the video is supposed to be Cassie. Diddy is the officer who takes the girl at the end. Notice how the officer's demeanor turns more aggressive towards the girl after they walk out of the club. Nice song, but I love "Diamond Girl!"

[90BejaD]

hab hab, hambari bari barab, rab..keep replying the acapella :D

[chikoyourboy]

that acapella is ill

[DeanCzwartkowski]

impeccable timing !!

[Emceee01]

@4:41 lmaooo black guy looked lost as hell :P

[Sceneqirlrawrr]

I think I like "Diamond Girl" in acapella like it was in the beginning a little better than the real version.

[onyeka5]

God Bless America



[MultiMelech]

damn she fiiiiiine

[OT07]

Please tell me there is a full version of the a capella Diamond Girl. That was off the chain

[AGbaby235]

@OT07 it don't exist but I know whatchu sayin' tho, his Diamond girl in dis intro was phenomenal wished dat he really had dat version

[desiromeo107]

thick, thin, what does it matter

[TASHIWASHI650]

Thumbs up for Tyson Beckford!

[jxstylezx45]

The beat and the chorus made this song! I could still rock this in the system.

[a199ify]

Wow Harvard Graduate Genius!!!!!

[youngtiteakachamp]

man he even had Carrie Underwood up in the front, he's the man

[faith1704]

i love this song

[TobieTeezy]

I wish the girls would stfu in the beginning so a dude could listen to the acapella without interruption, damn.. R-Les should def make a track outta that acapella, like an acoustic version of Diamond Girl or something.

[Julieeeeet]

@TobieTeezy I wish the same everytime i watch that video , acapella is the best part of it and that girl came and ruin everything , let's burn her !!

[jeffsmith1121]

@tawHondo me too

[blerslie]

Acapella in the beginning is fucking genius. R'les I love you.

[CrniLjiljan]

[dynaturner1]

[regalondaytons]

@dynaturner1 This song kinda is old. I'm pretty sure he's over it.

[ASNmylinh]

I keep repeating 0:00 - 1:27

[0621adub]

[kidsalsaa]

1:14 please make a separate song for the unplugged <33

[MrMalakTube]

OMG! he followed me on twitter and i'll follow baack nooow :O <3

[dgocko3]

No wonder she fainted at the end when she was dancing, she has eaten anything all day.

[TASIXV]

[fruk1234567890]

@IcyIceICIcey I love how all anyone can talk about is the girl in his video, when he himself is musically one of the most talented individuals on the planet.

[IcyIceICIcey]

@FrazerMawson I didn't point it out because I thought it was pretty obvious.

[FrazerMawson]

@IcyIceICIcey And i thought it was pretty obvious he chose the fat girl.
