Watch & Listen: Better Than The Original


Belgian artist Milow has done a cover of 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake's Ayo (Technology), which improves on the original tremendously.

His version is sooooo good - he even made a video for it!

      Yea, this does nothing for me. I think I'll stick with the orignal.



    6. 106

      Um, I'm pretty sure the original is better. The original sounded better, & the video was waaaaaaaay better. I don't know what Perez is smoking but I don't know how this version, "…improves on the original tremendously." Um, I think NOT. (:

      Re: bella** – i agree



    8. 108

      in what alternate universe is this better than 50 cent and JT's version? The original had so many sonic layers and great vocals that expressed the longing in the lyrics while this one by Milow sounds like any other out of work musician who plays for free at the coffee shop right around the corner from where I work. Not feeling it…at all.



    9. 109

      I would do them both.
      vote mccain/palin
      I am not qualified..
      Yes yes, I effen approved this effen message.bitch.



    10. 110

      love the song!

      and wow, i love his eyes!!



    11. 111

      I wasn't on board with it until the chorus. I can't believe he pulled that off.

      112

      I did a little research on the web and found a song by Milow called "The Priest" - it is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard!



    13. 113

      the beginning is the best. it starts getting ick though. :/



    14. 114

      i like it better than the original. milows made a trashy song pretty good



    15. 115

      Wow!This guy really did a great job with a terrible song to begin with.
      Amazing!



    16. 116

      As predicted, you made the newspapers, Perez.



    17. 117

      i love it way better than the original but i'm totally not feeling the video.:D



    18. 118

      Wow, I love it. Thanks for new exposure, I'm already digging his other songs on his myspace



    19. 119

      it was different.
      good different, I like this, but I still like the original.



    20. 120

      Re: .bommie

      Yes I think so, but they had to change their group name, years ago
      Because hoover is the name for a vacuum cleaner.
      One of my favorite songs is 'Mad about you' it was even in a movie with Ashton Kutcher: A lot like love.



    21. 121

      Milow is a very good artist. I really like him. You should listen to his song: " you don't know". It's great



    22. 122

      Thank you Perez, for giving this sick Belgian artist some attention, he deserves it, he's too awesome!
      I just can't get over how sereen he makes the song sound, Milow nailed it again xD

      as for the vid, it cracks me up soo bad LMFAOO

    25. 125

      its alright but NOT better than the original….the original is dancy!



    26. 126

      the video was even more pornographic than justin n 50 cent's

    27. Jeet says – reply to this


      127

      Check out one of his most popular songs; you don't know. Awesone too!
      Also listen to these Belgian artists: dEUS, Hooverphonic, Ozark Henry, Soulwax, An Pierle. Go Belgium, go!



    28. 128

      i'm a belgian and i'm soooo proud and happy that this song is here :d
      he's really good !!
      check out other belgian artists !! ;)



    29. 129

      oh and Thank you Perez for blogging about Milow!! You rock!
      I'm so proud of him, that even you are talking about him :)



    30. 130

      i'm from belgium and i really love this video !



    31. 131

      wtf? the video is wack but the song is so so.
      but he sounds funny when he try`s to say shawty. :D



    32. 132

      Waaw, i like! Also his other songs are so great! Listen to 'You don't know' and 'The ride'. I've seen performing him live, he was very good!



    33. 133

      I thought this was awsome…agreed, Perez - better than both of the other versions I've heard. Thanks for sharing this with us.



    34. 134

      ~~~~LOVE IT~~~~



    35. 135

      Re: KristinBiatch – Put that flag right side up Biatch!



    36. 136

      Nah, the other version is much better. Any video w/ JT's sexy ass in it is better. :)



    37. 137

      we don't like them
      they are gay.
      mccain/joker/obama

      i looooove milow!



    39. 139

      Pretty good although his voice is a little nasaly



    40. 140

      um, fuck no - in no way, shape or form is this better than the original… in fact, this shit was just laughable… watching some white bald loser sounding like a moron.

      PEREZ, wtf?! people are not lying when they say your musical tastes are horrid.

      141

      pathetic masturbation fantasy. that's what money can buy…



    42. 142

      Not sure how i feel- it was OK sounded a little corny slow, whole purpose of rap/hip-hop is the beat… when u break the lyrics down u hear how corny they r- i mighta liked it had i never heard the original and needed to fall asleep.



    43. 143

      Re: bitchybeech
      so are his choices in fashion…..
      Stick to gossip



    44. 144

      listen to his 'baby you don't now'



    45. 145

      It sounds good but the original one is better but i dont like that video though



    46. 146

      REPRESENT!

      i am half beligan but live in london and it is soo good too see belgians get there talents out there. i am weirdly proud to be half belgian :/ but it's nice to see you appriciate perez!

      it's only a wee little country!

      and also this Milow guy shows that belgian doesn't just churn out eurotrance, there is actually some talent
      yay!



    47. 147

      no thanks



    48. 148

      Gah I luv Milow



    49. 149

      man wath a nice song, much better then the original, the original is good but this… much much better!!!
      The clip is beautifull. It's art and that is maybe the cause that a few people don't like it, because it isn't like all the other american clips it is, different and european.



    50. 150

      GO belgium!



    51. 151

      Oh my God, this is sooooo good. I want to have it! Where can I get it?



    52. 152

      Loves it!!



    53. 153

      Re: krazihottkelli/bitchygrl
      we all love you.



    54. 154

      I actually really like this song! I never thought that it would translate well into a genre that was not rap/pop, but the stripped down acoustic works really well!! this will def. be on my ipod :-)



    55. 155

      This is a good video. The song is not too bad either, but I'm still liking Alina Puscau's Numa Numa. I bought it on itunes last.



    56. 156

      I liked it, but that viscous thing is disgusting.



    57. 157

      LLOVVEE this version….but did you watch the entire vid???? What the crap was the end????? Did he choke on syrup or something….and all those girls looked like they were dogs devouring him………….

      158

      doesnt even sound like the same song



    59. 159

      Re: *Vivi* – Itunes!



    60. 160

      Re: twigs – and that's a good thing, haha :)



    61. 161

      Fantastic cover, but by the end of the video it looked like he had been the center of a 50-man BUKAKE party. Grooossss!

    62. free says – reply to this


      162

      A honey of a song- so proud to be a Belgian;-)!



    63. 163

      I prefer the original version but I admit that I like the chorus



    64. 164

      I don't know why but, I found the whole thing intriguingly sexy.



    65. 165

      i love it. so much better than that 50 cent justin crap



    66. 166

      this SUX!



    67. 167

      Omg eww, this guy is horrible and he has NUTHINGGGGGGGG on JT!!!



    68. 168

      I don't care for this version. some songs should just be left the way they are.



    69. 169

      this is WAY better.. love it



    70. 170

      It's Good but not better than the first. 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake's version didn't put me to sleep like this one did.



    71. 171

      Hmm undecided



    72. 172

      WOW! I loved it! The video was out in left field tho…



    73. 173

      I'm very proud for my home country Belgium, what a voice Milow!!



    74. 174

      I live in Belgium, and he's known for more progressive video's. The stuff on his head is honey.
      You should listen to his break out single - You Don't Know…
      It's really good!



    75. 175

      Re: *Vivi* – I tunes for sure



    76. 176

      Milow is so good! In Belgium everybody loves him! Check out his song YOU DON'T KNOW!! It's fantastic!!

    78. 178

      I'm from Belgium and I'm proud of Milow

      I really like the song but I didn't like the video

      but anyway Milow is very good, you should check him out!

      greetz Stephanie



    79. 179

      I just want to give a little background information why milow did it

      milow did this cover for a belgium tv program called volt. He had to cover a song totaly different from his style. and he told that the original architecture of the song was totally a mess.

      Milow is an artist who began his public career about two years ago. Maybe in a few years you will be hearing from him in america. he is very modest and hates public attention not as you american idiots ;p



    80. 180

      This is soooo good, I"m proud to be from Belgium!!!!

      His first song: 'you don't know' is also verrry good.

      greetings from Belgium



    81. 181

      Perez, it is really crazy, everytime you write something about Belgian people here, it makes the newspapers in Belgium,
      Milow is a great artist, but you can not compare him with justin or 50 cent, his style is sooo different, but he is great, I have his album and it is amazing, you should check all his songs out on youtube
      and also check out another Belgian artist : HADISE



    82. 182

      Love it! youtube: milow rock werchter 2007 you just don't know
      Everyone singing along , it was amazing :')



    83. 183

      I really really really love Milow. But I really really really hate this clip. You people should watch the acoustic version, hmm, more acoustic than this, haha, that version really make you love the song. This clip is so not Milow.
