  72. SeanOrlando says – reply to this


    72

    This version is much much better he pwns Kanye's song.

  73. will says – reply to this


    73

    soo, why is it lame and bad when a black artist samples a white song (ie stronger, kanye), but when a white person samples a black persons song (ie, this, travis barker playing drums to songs) its cool and interesting?

  74. trackie says – reply to this


    74

    while this version is good…

    kanye stilll does it better.

    and its called "Flashin Lights" not "Lights flashin"

  75. Nyssa(NI$$A) says – reply to this


    75

  76. Judy says – reply to this


    76

    It's hot! I like hayley williams. It was said he just enjoyed hot dating with a black guy on interracial romancing .com so many fans show interesting to her hot photos and videos there. Nice to enjoy more details about it…

  77. arianna says – reply to this


    77

  78. jay says – reply to this


    78

    1st, the name of he song is "flashing lights"
    2nd, good song

  79. ricky two says – reply to this


    79

    that's terrible shit

  80. borntodoit says – reply to this


    80

    I thought it was a very good rendition of Kanye's song. I really like both versions and I think Kanye should be flattered because this was done well. It shouldn't matter that he's white and Kanye is black. Music is music.

  81. snowkoala says – reply to this


    81

    love this version, this kid has something

  82. thissucks says – reply to this

    I am in love with this song!
    For a remix it was amazing.
    His song- Happy, is also really good.

  87. Dragula says – reply to this


    87

    I hear Happy is his next single. Shit that track is dope, too.

  88. skl says – reply to this


    88

    i really enjoy his version…plus hes kinda cute

  89. w says – reply to this


    89

    this web site has absolutely no credibility.
    how hard is it to google someones recent single the song is called FLASHING LIGHTS as it clearly states in the video remake posted. you guys are SO dumb

  90. wow says – reply to this


    90

    you're a dumb fool, Perez.

    it's FLASHING LIGHTS, not LIGHTS FLASHIN'.

    if you're going to show a video at least get the title of the song right.

  91. Flashin' Lights, Perez says – reply to this


    91

    I like both versions: they're different, yet similar. I hope he got permission to sample the song, though; we wouldn't want a messy legal situation.

  92. Ms Dolo D says – reply to this


    92

    There are soo many remixes to Flashing Lights…Clipse, Jay-Z, Freeway, etc. I like this Colin kid…the shit I like about this song is that he makes it his own way…it's not supposed to resemble Kayne's original version, that's the whole point of remixing a song. Keep pushing hits motherfuckas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  93. Ms Dolo D says – reply to this


    93

    One more thing….let's stick to the topic peoples….who gives a fuck if ya'll hate Perez…he be getting on my nerves too sometimes but I ain't gonna come on here and annoy ya'll about it. He's still making his dough so let's all chill out and keep talking shit about the people he writes about!!! LOL
    Stay sweet bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
