RYAN LESLIE "How It Was Supposed to Be" OFFICIAL VIDEO

[mrbreakinnews]

It's like you walked right UP OUT my fantasy

[mrbreakinnews]

My favorite video on youtube right now. I promise that this dude is somewhere between a classic composer and a urban contemporary arts master, easily, a genre of his own.

[AIRBORNEKMCQUITERY]

I agree with you 100%!!!!!

[voluzz]

BEST!

[djdna88]

love this music

[iskkarate]

this is the video!

[jeffilis]

this is better....i like it.... wow

[BarryleYoung]

you should record diamond girl like you sang it in the intro that is off the chain.

[MrGemini777]

this is the best version of this song.

[Esmee567]

This song reminds me of the moments I had with my man, before he left me for another girl..!! But thise are the most beautiful memories I have.!! All my favorite memories Are with him!!

Ryan leslie your my hero

[crizzlethekidd]

sorry to hear dat!!!!!!!!!

[samgutrz]

dang this video is amazing! wow ....i love it...there should be more thou...i loved this music video!

[enibas09]

"Im 'a invade the thoughts you keep of me"... Luv Rl, luv the lyrics, vocals and vid :)

[BlackSunshinenl]

heard this song while at work, pretty awesome:)

[loverboy535]

i can relate to this song .... but i say to everyone live life to the fullest and move on to a different person.. i say this with experience

[THIZBITCHNANCII]

This song was about him and cassie.

Ryan and cassie use to date but then fucking diddy took cassie away from him.

Ryan still loves cassie. Theres a video of him talking about him and cassie.

And i think it was fucking stupid for cassie to leave ryan for diddy like that.

I think this music video was kinda based on wat happen wit him and cassie. Idk thats jus wat i think.

[FreshAzImIz62]

yeah, that was pretty sleazy. if that's true at least a great song came out of it...

[Jaihdev]

i don't understand the music video. can someone explain please and don't give thumbs down for this...

why did he just let the officer take her? i mean, he starts to sing like she left him because she wanted to but, she was a pleasure-girl for the soldiers. Such things were expected to happen. And did he actually stop the guy from raping her? In the song he complains about how she left him, but in the video it looked like he didn't save her and that made me angry.

[Tajorty92]

i dont think that the main girl was a "pleasure girl" i think she was the man' girl. and he just happened to be boyfriend number 2 trying to be number 1. and i think he didnt save her because he knew that she would'nt be with him as long as the Other guy was around. so he left to be deployed.

[CUTIP3]

HE BETTA THAN JOHN LEGEND 4 REAL

[MACBARBIDOLL]

Love the video!! This song is amazing!! Ryan Leslie is an amazing artist. so happy he's doing his own thing now! This video awesome finally some real women in the video!! Who says that a size 0 is the only size suitable for a music video or is sexy..Voluptous girls are just as sexy and deserve the same air time on videos too..;-)

[purpleninja141]

i agree with MACBARBIDOLL o women are beautiful an sexy .also today's girl's in music videos rdon't have any meat on their bones

[lilnikki840]

[chriscounterstrike]

00:14

[wook4eva]

[chriscounterstrike]

im'a invade the farts you keep be making

00:15

haha

[snowXraven]

this is my favorite song by him

[calebbbh]

he shoulda got real singers, so at least it was authentic

[hunneybunsz202]

the dimond girl in harmonized was crack it was so hot i wish i i can get it harmonized and put it on my ipod

[FxkLovexO]

he has a sexy voice, but he's ugly.

[TashurRaquel]

lol agreed

[mscaliforniagirl135]

I like the Diamond Girl version in the beginning :]

[bazzar21]

AHHHHHHH SHOUT outs to my Homies Jermain on drums and Denard on guitar in th video

[mikagurl23]

[IinnerstrengthH]

[rahiem518]

[IinnerstrengthH]

haha, "Hey! I told those boys not to start w/o me!" Great song.

[tynov17]

the fist pump at 1:24? lmao!

[ayJbay]

Ryan Leslie is the man and so talented. But, his songs need improvement. He makes sick beats and has a decent voice but his songs just seem out of rhythm. He needs songs that will be catchy, most of his aren't except the song "Addiction" which grew popular because of it's catchy tone. He'll keep improving, so talented.

[KashmiereShawdy]

ryan da truth man nigga go hard dat diamond gurl version wuz bangin diz ma shyd

[LILGAME94]

1:09 MDR

[godnlenora]

love the song.

[litelitefeet]

DAH BEGGiNiNG iSZ TUFF HE SHOULD JUSZ DO A REMiXX WiT DAT PART

-->KiDWONDER WAS HERE!!!

[mochacarmellten]

i luv dis song amazin!!!!!

[monique042808]

you realize the white boy doesnt really sing this? the white boy looks stupid trying to sing it.

[peachykeenjellybean2]

I love the song and video. I think that Ryan Leslie should definitely remake the song "Diamond Girl' (if he hasn't already besides the beginning of this video) and sing it acapella just like at the beginning of this video. That would be amazing!!

[monique042808]

it is better then the real verison of Diamond girl, and that white boy does have no rhythm he looks so out of place its funnnyyyy

[gttoblstr]

lmao i was just talkin about that but god bless his soul he tried lmaoo

[szoof]

I LOVEEEE the beginning.

it's better than the real version of Diamond girl

[tynov17]

that white boy got NO rhythm

[Ginemaster3000]

why the fuck would you bring race into this. When they sound perfect, what a jackass you mad out of yourself. If he had no rhythm he would have not been in this video? Beautiful song espicially at the first with the piano. beautiful piano playing.

[tynov17]

first of all im white so i can say whatever i want about the terrible acting by the white guy second of all you are the one who looks like a jackass, since they are clearly not even singing. its ryan leslie's voice and they are lip synching, you dumb piece of shit.

[mad72]

what type of music is it at that first part? its amazing !!!

[ifthekicksfit]

they harmonized his song "Diamond Girl."

in a quartet.

[GinaShay]

I love the video and song! 5 stars

[isaaclpwnedU]

merylinda i think the last few words at the end are: "I hope one day you'll find"

im like 120% thats wat he said

[solja96]

THIS SONG IS HOT

[kcboymusic]

[Sirpurb]
