10 years later and i still don’t see how anyone could hate this song (Edit: Crazy how I got more likes than dislikes on this video. Lol love to see it)
there are 2 ways someone can hate this song. 1. it's too catchy. If the chorus got stuck in a doctors they might accidentally give someone a prescription for 'American boy' 2. It remind them of their ex.
Ugh I wish it were as simple as women only liking 6'+ guys, I really wish it were. But coming from someone in the 6'+ club, that just isn't how it works.
Went on a field trip to see an orchestra play and at the end Estelle ended up coming out and performing this song, actually crazy I got to see it live for free
I love how flat, almost monotone Kanye’s voice is throughout the whole song, especially his last verse. It contrasts with Estelle’s dynamic voice so perfectly, this might be one of the most iconic music duos in history and they only made one song together.
am I the only one stumped by this comment and its popularity, I thought Kanye's verse was one of the perfect examples of incorporating a rap verse in a pop song, he sort of sings and adds variation in his voice and doesn't just straight rap the verse. contrast that with most rap verses, Kanye's is definitely not monotone
Honestly the fact that this song has such an active comment section and multiple people watching all the time is awesome. This is such an incredible song
“The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward.”
This song has so much meaning to me. I am from NYC but was studying abroad in England when this song came out. During this time, I met an amazing British woman. She told me that this song reminded her of me. I was unable to stay with her because my student visa expired. I then lost touch with her but always missed her. I have recently reconnected with her. Wish me luck!
*Exactly. There’s literally no POSSIBLE way for an app to ruin a song, it’s a song it’s not like they went on the music video and changed the actual song itself. And this is coming from someone who hates TikTok, y’all need to chill out fr.*
@Wry tho? It doesn't matter if an app uses it. It's not your song, and you can't say people are bad because they listened to a song first on a app that has 800 million people using it. If you think about it, tik tok has made this song better by making more people listen to it. But I do agree some songs are ruined by tiktok trends, but not necessarily this one.
Jamie Stubbs people hate Kanye, so they already hold preconceived notions to how they view his music. It could be a great song, but it’s a Kanye song, so they already hate it
Nostalgia is one powerful thing, how can just some notes of music can bring me back memories of when my family and I were homeless and going from hotel to hotel in 2008, and this music was always playing on the radio, and these notes can transform it into good memories
I love the contrast. Song about few wheeling the country clubbing and spending money the background music for people in the struggle. Catchy tune and good for dancing but like most modern music it's all style with ZERO substance. And none of these cats know boots riley and the coup. Once they escape the struggle they never look back. Their narcissism protects them from everything they leave behind. The dance on the heads of those still under water.
when i was a small toddler this was the only song that would stop me crying lmao. my mam honestly got sick of having to listening to it all the time haha. 11 years later and i still love this song
I remember during the time this song stayed on the international songs chart on the radio in my country, it was not voted much, and disappeared quickly, but I really loved it, and I still listen to it until now. Even though I don't understand the lyrics much, I never forget the unique beat and rhythm.

Interesting assertion to make about Kanye right now. Of course, you’re not wrong with his performance on this song, but his recent efforts have been… not so great.
@@zdodops8490 They film it twio times with the same camera position. Then they "cut" the picture in the middle, so the first video is on the left side and the second on the right side. You can create video, where your reflection in the mirror does something different than you.

I remember during the time this song stayed on the international songs chart on the radio in my country, it was not voted much, and disappeared quickly, but I really loved it, and I still listen to it until now. Even though I don't understand the lyrics much, I never forget the unique beat and rhythm.

Estelle has the most beautiful singing voice! Kanye is brilliant as always!
Interesting assertion to make about Kanye right now.
Of course, you’re not wrong with his performance on this song, but his recent efforts have been… not so great.
Imagine in 300 years this song being a forgotten, forever a hidden GEM burrowed in the internet.
there will be no earth in less that 300 years

@@zdodops8490 They film it twio times with the same camera position. Then they "cut" the picture in the middle, so the first video is on the left side and the second on the right side. You can create video, where your reflection in the mirror does something different than you.
I love Estelle so much, she’s pretty, has a beautiful voice, and is so original and underrated. I don’t care if it’s 2019 this song needs to be on the radio
It was tho, just not anymore

Lollll straight from Tic Tok... NOEN... And my God he is GORGEOUS....
PERIOD!! Like I'm 15 and on tik tok. My mom first showed me this song when I was 4 and probably younger and I have loved it since! And now people say it's a tik tok song!? Nah it's a classic
th-cam.com/video/ytxdc057aqE/w-d-xo.html i found it from this vid
Thank you I listened to this way before tik tok took it
Why is this becoming popular again?? -I guess we‘ll never know..
I think in general this genre of music has been really popular lately. And apparently it’s known from tiktok
I started to listen to music
Cause idiots are just now finding out she’s the voice of garnet from Steven universe so there tryna make a comparison lmao
Cuz this song is straight up iconic. Tho I did hear that it may be featuring in tiktok, so...
i always liked this song
That other song can't get out of my head!
I miss the time when this first came out and I'd hear this on the radio during car rides because I had no responsibilities back then

It's funny how you went to youtube, searched for this video, scrolled down to the comment section, opened up the reply section and typed in your meaningless comment on how one of the most influential musicians in the pop scene is "weak" because apparently your point of view is different from his on something (without even mentioning the context). Next time you write something, think at least for 5 minutes before replying otherwise you will make a fool out of youself.
