Better yet why doesn't someone tell her to stop fucking singing. Her nasal voice is irritating. Someone should shut her mike the moment she starts to sing…

I'd rather stick a can of hair spray up her ass than listen to that song…

I love it so much when there are mellow covers of upbeat pop music- like Jenny Owen Youngs' version of Hot In Here. This was equally amazing, love it!
bstarpit says – reply to this

26

Compared to the orignial? Much better. RiRi's voice can get quite annoying after two or three words.

I kinda love it. Have you heard Lenka's cover of Graity Rides Everything by Modest Mouse?

35

It's a whole lot better than that crappy techno song RiRi originally sung. She has a voice, but her beats just suck big time. 90's Euro-Pop much?

Now, how do I get this song?

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnn, i was gonna say, im not impressed with this artist. now, after listening to a couple bars of this very boring song, i am totally not impressed with this artist.
Bailey's Mom says – reply to this

52

Honestly, what gives her the right to protest this version of her song? She completely ripped off "Live your Life" from an Icelandic Techno song, so she is certainly not an original artist.

Why the fuck did she change some of the lyrics? I guess it had to be boring and emo to fit her style! Who is this loser anyway? This almost put me to sleep!

I am so over this sound. Gross.
hoganbcmj says – reply to this

61

Sounds cool to me. I love a different take on a popular tune. The original is an over-produced dance anthem, and it's great. This is a creative twist on the original.

Truthfully Right says – reply to this

68

wht if with ppl thinking they can take a hit song and make it one of their own.. this band blows and so does their re-mix.. my advice… MAKE UR OWN DAMN SONGS so that they CAN'T be compaired to the bigger BETTER versions… for all our ears sake.. what a waste of time!
Jenn Dashney says – reply to this

I love the Bird and the Bee… LOVE this cover. I'm glad they say "just let it play" instead of "DJ let it play"… that line always bugged. Love RiRi's version too though.
Jacamei says – reply to this

As far as covers go, this is pretty un-original. It's definitly "pretty" but a cover should add something new to a song. It's not enough.

Not as good as the original but a nice rendition.

Some songs need to be left alone and this is one of them. As much as I love The Bird and the Bee, Rhianna's version ROCKS while theirs makes me want to sit in a rocking chair!

nice 2 see u promoting someone other than yourself Perez… you're getting dangerously overexposed and at risk of becoming one of the caricatures you so regularly mock

Re: LilSar –
I love that song too! I love the Bird and The Bee, I think they made an awesome cover… way better than Rihana, but she's still cool

dmbbabe21 says – reply to this

79

I love it!!! I think it sounds phenomenal. I used to despise Rihanna, and then this latest album came out and it's full of songs that have great melodies, which has been proven by the number of musicians who have covered them and made them sound different and beautiful. Kudos to Rihanna for putting out hit after hit after hit…

by the way, what is the average age of posters here, 7? you people write like retarded monkeys, and it's all really hateful and mean and pathetic.

Re: Whimsical101 – i agree
sexy beast <3 says – reply to this

93

uuuuuuuum ..
what i think ?
well i think it is really REALLY bad as bad as a ..
the lady with the hair spray can up her ass..
then she had a kid..
and the kid grew up became a stripper for that hobo down the street who likes
to eat dead rats ..
ten he threw up ..
and that throw up had a kid with that hobos mom
then that kid got aids from tila tequila
then it died got burned up with some garbage
then a dog ate it
then pooped it out
then that poop got eaten by a crazy man who eats pictures abndais and hair
and then he got killed and the ferenzics got it out of his stomach

thats how AWFULLY BAD that song was..
i think that the bird and the bee should go back to the middle ofthe ocean and .. stop making music FOREVER .

Lovely. This would have been a great song for the prom scene in Twilight.
quartknee89 says – reply to this

97

I like it a lot, its not AMAZING but it's way better than rihannas version. I can't stand rihannas music, and her version of please dont the the music was the most worthless POS song she's done. The Bird & The Bee are great and they did a waaay better job.
ZaneSylliboy says – reply to this

i love it!!! it's much better than Rihanna's incredibly annoying version.

Criss Angel Responds To Recording Of Altercation! Says Producer Provoked Him!

There are two sides to every story! Here's his!

In light of the audio recording released yesterday that featured Criss Angel threatening to knock out one of his producers, the illusionist's attorney, Ken Woloson, has released the following statement:

"Criss Angel was in the process of firing Joe Safuto on Wednesday when Safuto became abusive and Criss asked him to leave. Criss decided to fire Safuto in response to repeated complaints from co-workers and other magicians about Safuto's abusive and violent behavior and general ineptitude. Witnesses have attested that there was no physical contact and that Safuto very clearly was the antagonist. The audio released to the media is a snippet of a much longer conversation. We are exploring legal action against Mr. Safuto, including for his defamatory and illegal conduct."

Ouch! Sounds like he means business!

Give the clip a listen again (above)!

It DOES certainly sound like Angel was provoked! But enough to respond like he does?

What do U think?? Who's really at fault here??
