Skylar Grey -- Love The Way You Lie (Original Demo)

[pauz01]

U really fell the song... i always hate covers

[69fighter5]

I hate how Rihanna made the song glamour...it is much deeper than lights and dance moves.

[roxygirl725]

I love her voice C= I heard that she originally made this song but she didn't know who would sing her song!

[Tiny7795]

YES! NO Eminem cutting in and ruining it! This song is ridiculously sad and pretty when you can actually hear the lyrics.

[coltiskool]

@Tiny7795 whatever eminem make this song

[thecarleeg]

@coltiskool he did not .

[Tiny7795]

@coltiskool LOL Sure he did.

[milaroos]

looks like lisbeth salander (:

[IdaCooki3Monst3r]

See the dislike bar? Neither do I.

[Redneck22Girl]

She is such a great singer for school for a talent show i sang this song and i won thanks Skyler grey for your awesome song love ya

[sunnydale22]

You know a song is good when you only heard it once, but you remember the notes so perfectly. The sound never left me, even months later.. When I was trying to find the notes (on piano) for the main melody of this song, it was from this that I remembered even though I had heard Rihanna's a thousand times and more recently too.

Just took once for me. That's a *really* damn, good song.

[mimi42428]

this is sooo beautifull! love it. better than rihanna's version.

[CodLCNumbers236]

WTF my favorite artists are Skrillex, Chase and Status, Knife Party, Noisestorm, Pendulum... and Skylar Grey.

[blaaaa930]

@CodLCNumbers236 fuck ya skrillex and skylar grey hellz yeah

[CodLCNumbers236]

WTF did Skylar Grey not vocal the main song? she is better than Rihanna.

[mimi42428]

@CodLCNumbers236 cos at the time she was mainly a songwriter and people dont necessarily pay any attention to songwriters. they want to give your music to the hottest thing at the moment! thats just how it is until you make your name as a singer also.personally i think she is wayyyy better. more emotion and depth.people nowadays think that they have to scream to be a good singer. aka beyonce aka rihanna aka etc... and the list goes on. noone can sing a song better than the writer

[MrThejayko]

Try something: lisen this music and then go listen the original one with rihanna... The second one will sounds horrible. I don't anderstand why skylar don't made the one with eminem.

[mimi42428]

@MrThejayko this is the original. she wrote and produced this. rihanna just sang it and used it for her album

[MrThejayko]

@mimi42428 Ok^^

[CeizureParadox07]

This is so pretty

[CodLCNumbers236]

She sings the chorus way better than than Rihanna.

[allisoneff]

This song explains my life :'(



[InaaxD1]

Every time I listen to this song I cry<3

It's her voice, the piano on the background..I don't know..

To me she is sooooo much better than rihanna..<3

[1995Silke]

I like Skylar Grey's voice and her interpretion is SO much better than rehanna, i like the piano in the bagground, its like she meen what she says in this song :)

(I like Rihanna, but this song is not her best song)

[cailashy]

Love every word of dis song ... I noe Rihanna's wow! ... but Skylar ought to be winning grammies more than rihannah ... She's like one in a million .. The best .. <3

[thelonelyanime]

Leave the song the way it should be rihanna. Eminem you can stay cause you just add a rap to it

[KatRac8]

I love Rihanna and I think her version was great. But Skylar has a BEAUTIFUL voice and she should be more famous as someone else said.

[watchunratedvideos]

Sings better and looks better!

[FantageChic]

i remember how i used to have top comments lolz

[TheStar7117]

i prefer rihanna, but this chicks not bad either

[TheEmomanson]

this is how its done rihanna....and 459 dosnt know how a good voice sounds

[elliemacc1x]

This is actually gorgeous. Rihanna, this is how it is done.

[mizzunni]

love skyler, u are the most nicest singer in the world u have a soft voise and i love it! <3

[WladimirFranciscoZ]

Skylar Grey Should Be More Famous. :'(

[BADizzle93]

@CheckSubs she made 3 more !

[iamnueve]

@Brenkthx your racist and I should get your butt kicked for that

[4sistersXD]

I LOVE IT



[Baendel191]

;D

[xmsoreox]

This is the original and it is so much better. No auto tune and a much nicer voice.

[Skaytck]

Little far too high pitch in my opinion Skylar. Prefer Rihana, thumbs up

[IGSxPictures]

@Skaytck Rihanna uses voice emphasizers and autotune. Skylar doesn't. So a thumbs down to you my dear friend.

[toloratedmeat]

@IGSxPictures Um, voice emphasizers are for harpsichords. 

[FBdude97]

@brenkthx racist bastard

[chucknorris44444444]

why wouldn't Rihanna like this?

[evette1919]

@CheckSubs man she still felt jealous of Skylar's awesomeness and made TWO MORE accounts! man what's wrong with her!?

[desmurfenzijnblauw]

@evette1919 Lol irl.

[HoneiiDeluXe]

Wow!

[TheFlight420]

"Hi, Rihanna."

[ISurvivedItAll]

Rihanna just sings the song but Skylar sings it with feeling.

[rosebud5823]

Really good love this

[bubbleslissi92]

i love how it sounds like ice compaired to the fire that the Rihanna and Eminem version has...

this is so much better <3

[CallOfDuty6526]

wow , im here sitting like an idiot waking for eminem to come up -_-

[evilkitten83]

Rihanna just sounds really whiney singing this song, it makes my ears bleed. >_<

[NilyProductions]

Rihanna doesn't deserve any credit for this.. Eminem either..

[evilkitten83]

Alex Da Kid wrote the music, Skylar grey wrote the lyrics to go with the music.

[TheTrueINSPIRATION]

@evilkitten83 Alex Da Kid was not the original writer of Rhianna's Parts. Does anyone know who is?

[kimmicub17]

@TheTrueINSPIRATION skylar herself was the original writer

[TheTrueINSPIRATION]

@kimmicub17 I was the original writer of the first part of the song. The part Rhianna sings.

I left the lyrics as a comment on a bit of news regarding MR Brown and Rhianna. I gave the lyrics up because I felt bad for the girl. Figured she needed to get out on her own. I posted under the name emenem or something similar. I made no big deal about it because all I probably wanted to do was watch a dam video or hear some music somewhere and didn't want to be spammed. Rest is all her.

[mimi42428]

@TheTrueINSPIRATION wow really? when did you write it? and did you get any royalties for your part cos you should

[TheTrueINSPIRATION]

@mimi42428 No royalties I posted it and gave it away freely. I am not trying to claim royalties . I am not trying to diss. either of these two great artists. I wrote the first portion of the lyrics used by Rhianna. I did not write the music or figure out how to sing it. You know a song has four main parts in it's creation. 1) Lyrics 2) Music

3) Great voice to sing it in the proper way. 4) A good producer to fineese it all.

I have posted other songs that have been successful.

[TheTrueINSPIRATION]

@kimmicub17 I see someone has been editing the comments. The first part LYRICS were posted in a news piece about Rhianna getting beat up. I felt bad and hoped to help her out of her problem. I believe I had a small conversation with Skyler as another name. I suppose at the time I might have thought it was Rhianna. I do this often so it very well could have been Skylar under her other name. Anyway if Skylar wants to test me I have the key details. I hold the IP address for the post.

[TheTrueINSPIRATION]

@TheTrueINSPIRATION The name Alex Da Kid might have been used but it's not his real name and he is moving away from the name. Skyler was another posted name I created and Skylar wanted to change it to Skylar from her own name and the masculine Skyler. You two need to contact me. We need to talk. I wrote at least another song in use. All is IP verifiable and I will sign over rights to finish our work.

[mimi42428]

@TheTrueINSPIRATION i see what you mean but i feel like somehow you should be recognised for your imput in this song. its a great song.not necessarily money but at least your name on the list of songwriters.thats all

[mimi42428]

@TheTrueINSPIRATION others are making money from your work.and that to me isnt write somehow and makes certain people appear as though they have done more than they have. both artists are great but i feel like you ahould habe gotten some kind of recognition for your part and imput

[therealbudman67]

this is the real shit.....

[TheGreatGumsy]

@therealbudman67 fuck you

[therealbudman67]

@TheGreatGumsy this is the real shit retard and if you dont think so its cool, but dont mention me gumsy...i used to fuck this punk in the pen with the exact same name, they call you that when you take your teeth out??? theres always one like you one every wall, now its your bed time you know you cant stay up and hang with the adults :) go make sure your horse is still stumped trained for you, i noticed the horse fetish, idk maybe you catch

[18571ASH]

SO, i was watching the Grammys last night when I thought of last year. I wanted Skylar to perform this year. If she would've performed this song, do you know how much respect and popularity she would get? She is an amazing artist, and person deep inside. She deserves to really live her full dream. I love her so much and wish her the best. 143 Sky :-)

[Kairistarshiner]

I knew this song was too good for Rihanna. Go Skylar, I've become a fan of you within, 1;45 seconds. <3

[youlookatmenow1]

I didn't know that this AMAZING song cames from skylar :D

[updownandaround123]

shes way better then rihanna i love the softness of her voice

[BarbieThoX]

How has she not become big yet?, She is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

[198catgurl]

who ever dislikes this video is a HUGE DUMBASS! Skylar Grey is an amazing singer <3 (: and finally theres a singer thats not fake.

[DrMythology]

i am not racist but Skylar <3 trumps Rihanna 

[YaaYforTaaY]

3:05  <-- Most beautiful voice ever.

[SwiftHDX]

@YaaYforTaaY 0:00 - 4:16 <-- Most beautiful voice ever.

[Koockygirl]

I love this version so much better than the one with Eminem and Rhianna. I wouldn't even listen to that newer version because of the rap and stuff, but this one is just beautiful. I can't stop hitting replay.

[LePacteDeLaLune]

elle a une voix magnifique, un timbre superbe et une intonation parfaiye, j'adore et j'en suis fan. il em atrde qu'elle sorte un album, je l'attends depuis un bon moment ^^

[horserider2609]

[Ralstabout]

[cptmhrr1]

Skylar rules, this is so much better, and to all those calling this a cover??? you obv dont know that Skylar wrote this song and Rihanna copied it.

[AiguilleVoodoo]

@cptmhrr1 Rihanna copied it?? C'mon, she SOLD the song to eminem and Rihanna...

[calvinblinkee]

@cptmhrr1 If she copied it she would've been sued the fuck out

[SBL5252]

That's a voice from the heaven!!!

Thousand times batter then Riha....How do you spell RE-HEY-NA?

[jameeyuno]

[dinosaurecheese]

-Cries-

[BrittaniMarshelle2]

LOVE'

[SamND1967]

Like, 20 times more better then Rihanna's version.

[SocialGina]

First, I would just like to say that I'm a really big fan of Skylar Grey AND Rihanna. I LOVE Skylar Grey's voice and would LOVE to see more of her which I'm pretty sure we will, but don't start hating and shit talking on Rihanna. I'm pretty sure they worked something out with Skylar.

[ImFromEssexLol1]

Wow f**k that girl can sing

[manydiab]

fuck ya Rihanna... Skyler is the original best of it

[superphantom1998]

she sing better than that rihana bitch

[aggeliki9505]

because i love the way you lie!

[esmilein]

Do you wanna have all in HD, the lyrics and amazind pics ?

Then check the great chanel from my friend out. you'll find her on MY CHANEL <3

[ShannyGurrl]

skylar all the way, she's way more talented.

[beatsforroo]

this is a really good cover but i prefer the original, rihanna rules :)

[philipconstantin]

@beatsforroo hope you<re joking hahahaha

[NwKoLeung]

@beatsforroo This is the original

[lovac1984]

those "nice try" jokes are so fucking early 10's! we are in the twenties wohoooo

[MrNothingOriginal]

this is soo much better than the rihanna version!

]

[kipooh123love]

456? dislikes men FUCK YOU  Rihanna nice try!!

[clovefromupabove]

its bullshit rihanna got this song just because she was more known at the time. skylar rocks this shit.

[ForNeverYoursAlways]

This song just makes me so freaking happy.

Her voice is like, making my ears have an orgasm. :)

[ISurvivedItAll]

When she starts singing I am just sitting en looking at my computer in silence.

which is a miracle because there are not many people that can do that.

I hope we will hear a lot more of her in the near future.

[sqoobydou]

it;s called the it factor bitch !!

[basaf13]

Beautiful Voice :X

[AssassinsFreakCreed]

She captivates me with the first word... not many people can do that.

[mybubbles32443]

hahahaha she was in a porno no wonder why she has the lungs to sing lolz but its cool she's like 100000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000...x better than Rihanna.

[RedRoseMassacre]

@mybubbles32443

You sure you aren't thinking about "Sasha Grey"?

[vitors18]

I love this song!!!!

[frostey91]

She shitted on Rhianna like Bradshaw did to the Patriot's

[HeyWithPaige]

Wow she's way better than that poser Rhianna (no hate ^_^)

[devilbloodzaa]

WTH!! it's better than rihana and i want to know Rihana copy Skylar grey,right? coz she don't give credit.

[WhiteWolfx59]

wow skylar grey is a goddess O_O ...she's so much better than that other girl ...whats her face.

[FantageChic]

How are the popular people always the fake ones? You can see that in school and in business. How come Skylar doesn't get as much views as Rihanna when she's better AND real? I really hate that =/

[darkria4]

@FantageChic I agree with you, But I love Rihanna D: Have you heard that gay-ass song "Dance" By Big Sean? *shudders*

[FantageChic]

@darkria4 Honestly I don't have anything against Rihanna. It's just Skylar is better in my opinion =]

I never heard "Dance" I'm bout to search it and comment "what a gay-ass song"

lolz >x]

[darkria4]

@FantageChic Lol. It really is terrible D:

[DOCTOROCTAGONAPUSS]

@FantageChic Because if she became famous, she would slowly become fake, drugs plastic surgery, all that.

[FantageChic]

@DOCTOROCTAGONAPUSS A lot of famous people do become plastic people, truthfully, but maybe Skylar Grey wouldn't. People who do that also slowly lose their fans. But maybe she won't let us down. These people just don't feel happy in their own skin, but maybe she does.

[ronnie183]

@FantageChic because mtv is not shoving it down everyones throat like feeding sheep "_"

[FantageChic]

@ronnie183 They seem to for the auto-tuned artists.

[HappyLittleHous3]

I have to say that Rihanna can sing, I heard her singing live.... BUT THIS IS SOOOO MUCH BETTER, SHE IS REALLY GOOD. THUMBS UP REALLY.

[NilyProductions]

Okay... Original writer. No auto-tune. No back up vocalists. WHY THE FUCK ISN'T SHE FAMOUS?

[TKMT88]

@NilyProductions she will be, believe me.. :) she just made a new song with kaskade- room for happiness, it rocks!

[Theoreticaly]

@NilyProductions Well, she *sort of* is... Yet, sadly, mostly only as someone featured on other numbers...

[FREAKYFRIDATGIRL]

@NilyProductions She Is. Look Up Her Name Then Invisible after it. =) its her song.

[pootubeftw]

@NilyProductions

i think you know the answer allready ;)

[NilyProductions]

@pootubeftw No, actually. I don't. Rihanna doesn't deserve any credit for this masterpiece.

[pootubeftw]

@NilyProductions

credit has little to with being exposed or being famous. 99% or 100% of all rihannas songs are made by others, like 95% of everything else in this business, especially the pop business.

[SwiftHDX]

@NilyProductions She's not on VEVO xD

[Mrsknowitallx]

much better than rihanna's version :)

[ThePurpleprincessy]

This gave me goosebumps - and goosebumps never lie

[EpicKills2]

I like her singing. Rihanna can't sing they just fixed her voice. I just watched a couple of seconds and skipped to the end to see the rapping part

[CourteneyBunnz]

Singers like this, deserve to be more famous..

[kokoleka808]

Comparing Skylar's and Rihana's versions are akin to comparing apples to oranges--XD<3!

[IBRofficial]

Sorry to burst 70 peoples' bubbles, but auto-tune can't make a voice stronger.

[rachielle3]

don't get me wrong i love eminem but they should have used skylar's verison

[lost0and0never0found]

if you like this one better thumbs up

[cybedude]

i mean come on..rihanna's version is pretty cool..but this one WOW..her voice is just so

powerful..!!

[njlouch]

Absolute idiot. She wrote an amazing song, got huge critical recognition and a massive paycheck out of it. How is she stupid?

[pidipidi39]

ok, skylar grey sing this so good but stop hating on Rihanna... skylar is stupid because she did give this to another singer.

[MEGAPWNED69]

@pidipidi39 skylar isnt stupid she did that because its called business and because rihanna did the first one so it wont be much of a critical hit on this song.

[rachielle3]

@pidipidi39 no she didn't her manager gave it to rihanna cause skylar wasn't popular enough

[BATwoman679]

Oh my god... I had no idea that there was an original version of this song... She got almost no recognition for this. That's messed up. My respect for Rhianna has dropped substancially...

[njlouch]

@BATwoman679 She got massive industry recognition for this!



[BATwoman679]

@njlouch What I meant is that it is not really common knowledge that this song was originally hers. I agree the song did open doors for her but she is not nearly as big as she should be. I hope that makes sense.

[HalocraZze]

...I hate the rihanna cover...only the eminem parts make it hearable...

and this is just amazing

[leandros919]

just perfect!!



[RedlineEurope]

Ariana Grande's version is nice aswell... but fuck rihanna

[Rihannanavyforlife15]

Its like shes singing while shes sleeping

[BadazzKennel]

This is fantastic the best song ever performed!! WOW!!!!

[MazorKuziaki]

Day 5, 2:46pm: This is the 430,576 time I've listened to the song. It keeps getting better and better. I should call a friend to take me away from the computer, because I have so much work to catch up on... but maybe just listen to it one more time...

[JuicyMachine]

I bet the version from rihanna love the way you lie part 2.

Is this version but that edited into Rihanna's voice...

[laraliebtmusik]

SO much feeling ! ♥♥

[Tuluc]

She wrote this song? Bet shes made huge bank off the Eminem version... It was a pretty big hit.

[MrFuzzyNacho]

SKYLER GREY is my favorite singer

[lewisovhebn]

listen to this at the same time....r a i n y m o o d . c o m

[lewisovhebn]

type rain into google and listen to this song while listening to the rain =]
