todrick: "her intentions could be innocent"
me: " *ARE YOU LISTENING TO WHAT THIS WOMAN IS SAYING SIR?!* "
Dead ass 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah 😘😂
Lmao like there is nothing innocent about her intentions
😂
bruh she fully said your sexy piece of chocolate like cmon
No one acknowledged how Nicole was singing her face off on this song.
Straight goose bumps, this woman can SING
She’s epic. She’s so talented. Love me some Scherzinger. Todrick’s voice is also smooth as silk.
(On another note, this song is hilarious 😂)
That's why I am always listening to this song....she is under rated..... severely
Why do people. Keep saying she can't sing. I'm so confused
katy k because they dont know she is pussycat doll herself
Nicole is a HELL of a vocalist ! damn
She is so underrated
YESSS
have you seen her version of the phantom of the opera?
@@skylight_gameuse I HAVE it is awesome!!!
@@rongoines6600 not everyone can hit those notes
Todrick: Shes not my body type
My bisexual self: SHE IS MY BODY TYPE
ah yes, my long lost twin
YES JUST YES
I finally met people who think the same way as me when watching this
Haha yes! Let me get a taste of that caramel! 😉
Mari the inquisitive yesss😼
nicole : idk if i'm your body type
Todrick : I like boys I like pecs
Like them arms when they flex
Like that print, in them sweats
Tell them girls, thank you next
HAHAHAHHA. Nice. :p
SMOOTH
Yass😂😂
Yasss
Kira Hodgson I like both
Papi sounds like poppy
Poppies in the Wizard of Oz made the characters sleep with them
Nicole in this song is trying to seduce Todrick in to sleeping with her
Todrick is so clever
Omg this is amazing
And Nicole is wearing a poppy dress 😆😆
Also in the Wiz the poppies are dancers that seductively dance around the lion. I remember back in junior year of HS we had to keep changing coero BC it was either too sexy for school or too boring. But it was fun (especially because I'm usually very modest so I surprised everyone when I was the one who danced the most flirty).
I feel stupid now lol
wAIT I DIDNT NOTICE THAT TF
NOTE TO SELF: DON'T SING THIS AROUND MOM EVER AGAIN. Probably the most awkward 10 secs of my life.
hahaha
WillOnAWhim
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh god
WillOnAWhim Yep I know how you fill I sang this song in front of my sister and she ran to my dad and told him what I sang and he laugh so hard
WillOnAWhim My Mom joined me in my singing AHAHAHAHA😂😂😂
Lucky of me, my mom doesn't know english :3
Todrick's gay panic is so ridiculously clear in this video
He looks scared shit the whole video 🥺
This gay panic is right up there with Santana from Glee for me.
I had gay panic for him! 😱
I felt for Nicole and I'm gay gay. Just her POV. Subdudsing a guy. A TOP. Hehehe.
Totally LoL 😂😂😂
*”she got two of them”* I died in that part 😂
Edit: Tysm for the likes y’all 🥺✨💛
I hope she has two of them
😂😂😂💙👍👍👍
And I oop
SAME 🤣🤣
Same 😆🙈
NICOLE IS SLAYING THE MANNEQUIN CHALLENGE
TheNoRedemption damn straight!
TheNoRedemption That's a good one 😂😂😂
Nicole, in the mannequin challenge you, froze the competition, but on the runway, you stood still. You're safe.
i read that in trixie mattel's ru impression voice
that was what i was aiming for aha
This still gives me chills!! Such a deep meaning and visually stunning!
I am so gay, but I fully believe this song is the reason I believed I was bisexual for a minute
Same ‼️‼️‼️🏳️🌈 what to do
aesthetic attraction is one hell of a drug
Same 🥲
I would certainly consider switching teams for a day for Nicole!
@@JordanLeetheBoi 😋
someone forgot to water the plants, them poppy's is extra thirsty

yhea shes going for caramel and chocolate.
TrillestSlayerLena Msp this comment just made my day😂😂
ArtsyLee 😂😂😂😂
Shaun Da Silveira poppy sound like papi
Yeah some 1 need 2 take her 2 Hershey pensilva cuz she needs that chocolate
I really love the direction on this. At the beginning she's cute and sexy but a little pushy and by the end she moves like a predator and he is powerless. Also Nicole effing kills the vocals on this. She is so talented.
Been a fan of hers from her days with the Pussycat dolls, didn't even bother for the mess with the other girls.
Well, when one realizes the song is about sexual abuse against minors in the business, the predator part stops being sexy (if ever was) and becomes disturbing.
So true!!
@@ginaverso its not just minors but people in general who gets into the music industry
@@ginaverso no no its not
Nicole: You have potential Trevor
Todrick: Its Todrick
Nicole:Whatever
Producers:Yes!

Made me laugh, too!
I know people are focusing on the lyrics but I'm just wondering where she got that bra? Its pretty
:-D
I was thinking the exact thing😂😂
I was thinking the same thing! Like, link please? 🤣

I'm coming back to this years later and just marveling at how much of a genius he is. I have a few things to say:
1. The subject matter. He's highlighting that men can also get harrassed in the music industry, which is mentioned even less than women, so not a lot. He's not only speaking for himself(assuming this is accurate) but for others in a similar situation.
2. Writing good songs is hard, but connecting them all to a theme is even harder. I applaud Todrick for sticking with the Wizard of Oz theme throughout the whole album. As you may know, there's an infamous poppy scene in twoo where Dorothy and the gang are succummbing and being put into eternal sleep, and later in the Wiz the poppies are depicted as dancers that 'seduce' people into staying with them forever. I love how he ties the harrassment analogy in there, as she's luring him with a promosing career("I can almost see your name in lights" "Destiny's calling and your future is so clear") but the outcome is uncertain. This is a scare tactic that many talent agencies use to get people to go with them, harrassment + assault included along w a promising career, that many people in the industry fall victim to.
Overall, Todrick is a hugely underrated performer/storyteller, go listen to him, that's all i have to say. Thank you.
Side note: Nicole Scherzinger can freakin' SIIIINNGG!!!!
Papi sounds similar to poppy. Also her dress in the last scene is covered in poppies! It makes too much sense...he is so clever! Good catch
Nicole is like a singing goddess
@@treyrhodes1611 And she also has poppies on her desk in the office scene.
He confirmed that he was in a similar situation to this song, but he turned them down IRL.
yes, the industries harassment and sexual "promise to success" is the first thing that came to mind. Todrick has done something in a few videos that I am grateful for ... he put himself in the woman's place of how he's treated in the video -- or using male models as background as many video's place women. Women are not 'trophies', and this is a theme Todrick has used subtly in his videos. I'm sure the LGBT community is treated similarly as women in the industry.
This is one of my favorite songs in this entire production. The songwriting is so good. I wish Nicole did more like this. And "you've never touched a boob in your whole life, and she's got two of them!" is hilarious. Thank you for your art, Todrick.
Lol I was feeling the song so good and when that part came I simply cant help it but laugh
the girl version "you never touch and ab in your whole life, and he got six of them"
+genese saintil technically you only have one ab. It's just six-packed.
+genese saintil you'd never touched a ball in your life and he's got two of them lmao

No Todd, her intentions are not innocent.

OH MY GAWD PAPI = POPPY!!!! SHES A POPPY!!! LIKE WHY DIDNT I GET THIS SOONER???????
(the reference: in the original 'wizards of oz, dorothy is warned to not go into the field of poppies bc they had magical powers to make you fall asleep. in this, nicole (the poppy) is trying to tempt todrick into having an affair)
Please Explain!!!!
+Crystal Deni in the wizard of Oz dorothy is in a poppy feild and is tempted to sleep there but she fights the temptation just like todrick did
+Nyewuna field*
Thank you soo much! I cant believe i didnt think of this.
Ohhhhhh! Wow. Holy crap. I would never have put 2 and 2 together on that one. Nice catch!
It's rare when someone sings about the struggles of braking into the entertainment industry, and sexual harassment... Todrik really is ahead of his time. This is deep.
Also, Nicole's vocals, damn! O.O'
he's gay...thats what he is also getting at
@@NixenNight really? he is? no... I would have never guessed. And here I thought the entire "I like boys" was about him being super straight...
/sarcastic gasp
@@mariosblago94 not what I meant dude
@@NixenNight even if he was straight, a woman trying this on a guy would still be sexual harrasment, his sexuality doesn't really matter, all it does is make the point easier to grasp for some.
Actually it's not. There are tons of songs by many artists that sing and rap about the industry struggles and abuse. The cries are not only in music, but in other forms of social media. Actors/actresses as well. You just have to listen carefully. They're really crying out for help.
Todrick has long been ahead of his time. I remember hearing this but didn't put it all together. Well done.
Minority Nomad sweetie, this shit been happening for over 50 years so no he's not ahead
@@britneyspearshoran6321 he's ahead and even more
I like how it switches from red to blue- red is her fantasy. She's sexy, confident, her hair is down, and Todrick is reciprocating her advances (leading the dance with her, staring down her shirt), but blue is the reality of it all- her hair is up, she's leading the dance, and Todrick is visibly uncomfortable. Just a neat lil detail.
wow as many times as Ive watched this Im just now noticing that detail haha I know im like a whole year late but just read this comment.
I was almost done with the song but I’m restarting now🤣
Knew this song for a long time, I knew the lighting etc but didn’t realize that leading the dance was a metaphorical touch ;(
There is such a deep meaning here for Todrick and everyone is kinda blowing it off.. it's true art. He should get more credit for this
He basically used the concept of the Poppies from the 1978 version of the movie "The Wiz" as a plot device to show how you can be lead astray from your path by something/someone, without actually knowing that, that's what going on. If you've seen The Wiz you'll understand. In The Wiz, the poppies were actually these really beautiful women, and you had to past by them on the yellow brick road in order to get to the Emerald City. They were dressed in really tight clothing, they were dancing and music was playing in the background. Dorothy and her crew were sucked into their charms and started walking and dancing with them, they in turn sprinkled them with some type of dust that put them to sleep. The poppies were sent by Evilene (the same character as the wicked witch of the west) to lure them away from seeing the Wizard and right into her hands.
joe hammond Actually the person above was right on the nose.
Poppy seeds dude 😭
Channel name don’t you think that both interpretations can’t exist together? Joe has a great point that there’s definitely a theme of the predatory nature of “show biz”
Asha Davis no the flower that makes drugs like heroine and morphine you know opium
This is genius! Highlighting sexual predation in music industry and the references to Wizard of Oz too. Nicole was perfect choice as she is so sensual, her voice is almost hypnotic at points plus she becomes very predatory in a very sexy way at the end...one of my fave songs ever
What are the references to the wizard of Oz
@@carfleeze5275 The poppy plant from Wizard of oz.
@@carfleeze5275 and the fact that she’s trying to get him to sleep with her like the poppies put them all to sleep
Todrick: "She's gotta know she's not my body type"
Me: Well she is my body type so step aside please
LOL same
Amen 🍾
Deadass tho
Lol Same
Been that way since the pussycat dolls.
Nicole is so underrated.
She SANG tf out of this!
Poppy... sooo clever and artistic on Todrick's part, I love this!
whats w u guys w that word
Katie Love Hue TV what word??
Uuuoppp
Xi
POPPY! Gosh, I'm so f**king mind blown now!
what does poppy mean or refer to?
Why this shit isnt viral?! ITS AKA-AMAZING! Im speechless
Amazing...
Facundo Layton it's certainly an aca-disappointed that it doesn't have more views!
+Beau Voc shutt up HATER
Nice bitch perfect reference 😂😂
Renato Dias no, i mean, it’s sad that it doesn’t have more views bc it’s such a great video...
Why why why why WHY isn't Nicole making music like this?????? 😩😩 I miss her!
I know right
She could make a comeback I think. I mean I would listen to her without a doubt.
Sabina Exy check her new songs_ have u lost your fucking mind, one more shot they are amazing
Sabina Exy because we have her as 1 of the judges on The X Factor UK.
Samuel Preston yeah cause her music career went down the drain, that's why she signed a 10 million dollar contract with xfactor to "judge"
If she wants chocolate and caramel... Just give her some Twix somebody🍫🙄😂
Or a Mars bar
Milky Way ✨🕺
Someone hand her a damn sneakers bar
Lol
Nicole eat a Snickers. You're not you when your hungry.
This bitch knows she's the shit. I fucking love her. So diva 😍😘
Dougie Dex i love her to she is amazing
This is such an interesting video now that we know all about the Hollywood sexual abuse scandals...
Alysse Purcell K but this video doesn’t portray sexual abuse. He’s willingly doing this for fame.
This is actually based on an event that actually happen. He didn't say yes to it in real life and it doesn't show his answer in the video.
But even if he had I'd still call it at least manipulation. You know that thing you've been busting your ass your whole life for? Yeah I'll give it too you.... if you sleep with me.
Anyone would feel corner by that. Maybe it's not rape but it's at least sexual harassment.
@@brittlandrum7672 Oh bitch got clapped back lol
Fuad Kirio HAAHHAHAHDIAKDSM
@@brittlandrum7672 literally, by legal definition, Sexual Assault is putting one in a predicament where they feel they must follow along or worse could happen.

Why did I just realize Nicole has a killer voice. There voices good really good together
Go really good together
Agreed! (Don't take it the wrong way, but it's "Their," btw) Regards
Axel Uhalde yep I know thanks
you know she was the only one who sang in pussycat dolls the others were just dance who lip synced lol #justsaying 😉
Look for her version of Don't Cry For Me Argentina..... beyond
I love this whole 'movie' and how Todrick used play-on-words to allude back to the story. Papi sounds like poppy, the red flowers in the field of dreams and excess in the book. She even wears poppy flowers on her dress at the end. All about giving into dreams and temptation.
I realized that too when I saw the poppy-covered dresses! Such a cool detail
"You know once she's had the chocolate then she's never going back" 😂😂 lmfao I love that part
Same 😭😍💯
same
YESSSSS!♥
😂😂
I've never touched a boob and she's got 2🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
AYYYYY PAPI 😍😍😍😍 TODRICK IS SO TALENTED IT HURTS
Honestlyyy
TypicallyTiffany HES SO AMAZING
IKR I DONT GET IT WHY CAN A PERSON BE SO TALENTED
preach
Atia Nadira Lumban Tobing magic .
It's chilling how in the end, one moment Todrick looks determined to take advantage of the situation, probably telling himself this is nothing and he's the one using her to get what he wants, then next moment she's on top of him looking so dominant and uncontrollable, starkly reminding him of how she's the one using him and not the other way around, how he is not in control of this situation at all because she's too powerful and too unreliable, and he seems unsure again whether he's made the right choice. I love both of their acting so much
@Mardisa Hassan 3:14-3:21
Nicole Scherzinger is one of the best voices in modern music, and Todrick is one of the most creative and talented people in modern entertainment. What a pair. I can't believe that I only just found this!
Right I'm like why am I just now seeing this 🔥🔥🔥
she is definitely MY body type
Shucks 69 likes, I don’t want to like so I’ll just say same
Same dude... same! 😩
Shucks I agree
Saaaaaame
Not exactly strait but, holy cow...
The way you know Todrick isn’t the least bit strait is that there is no attraction to Nicole’s charms.
I'm gay AF but, for her IDK...
Therealmlw I’m straight af, but for her IDK...
I'm bi and I'd totally go for either of them. But how they'd feel about me, IDK....
Bra you saying she turn you straight? HA
Therealmlw tell me about it, her and Angelina
Bruh I'm pan as shit but I'd take either....
"I've never touched a boob before and she's got two of them" I died laughing

Sameeee 😭
So sad :(

Me too dammm

Can we just talk about how great the video editing/visual effects are in this video? Like how it goes back and forth between office lady to hair down lady to sexy flower lady
'sexy flower lady'
that's when he yells out "IM GAY" and all of a sudden she goes "oh is this more your speed" and then a bunch of guys with really nice abs come out and starts dancing around him
Is it wrong that I wanna see that?
I mean that would've been interesting.
Well, she knows or has an inkling. It's in her line "I don't know if I'm your body type", and she wasn't talk about shape.
I thought this vid was perfect til I read this.
I would love to see this as well
I want to cut Mrs. Scherzinger some slack! Really great move to be so brave to portray the one who is harassing! It's so exaggerated but the message comes across brilliantly!
Years later and this line still stays with me: How many one hit wonders sit and wonder why we never knew of them?" 😔
Lil Nas x is only I can think about
@@shakawalker5184 say what? Lil nas x has three songs that were on the top when he released them. He hasn't released much since then
@@storysurgeon5922 he realease s Christmas song called holiday yesterday check it out
Nicole Scherzinger could literally sing the bee movie script and I would love it she has such a great voice
I love this so much.
Nicole is amazing and it's a super important topic. People need to talk more about boys getting harrassed sexually bc it's of course a thing too. Not just girls get treated like this.
Thx for making great music with even greater statements
If I were trying to convey this message, you would logically use a domineering man and a young lesbian due to the culture's subconsciously sexist bias. So it's pretty commendable that we have a piece that instead highlighted how men may have to deal with this BS as well
Fr granted it doesn't happen alot but it still is something we need to address In General male,female,and nonbinary,trans and others
@@maxinesanders4162 you'd be suprised
@@maxinesanders4162I call bullshit on that. If you told me it was a pre requisite to get into the big leagues in most industries I’d believe you on principle. The entertainment industry is horrifically dangerous, no matter what field you’re in.
So glad you came to visit
Your talent is exquisite
Is it just me or is it getting hot in here?
The AC might be broken
Let's crack a window open
Then hold me close so you can whisper in my ear
Tell me all your dreams and fantasies
Pardon me, I have a tendency to talk a lot
Lay it all on me
You little sexy piece of chocolate
Well I don't know if I'm your body type
But just close your eyes, enjoy the ride
Won't you sway my waist from side to side?
Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi
I know that it would be a shame if you blow
The chance to taste the fame you want, oh
My boss would know your name
Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy
Wait don't, wait don't go
A little non-committal
Just meet me in the middle
Don't be afraid our little secret's safe in here
You got potential Trevor
It's Todrick
Whatever
Destiny's calling in, your future is so clear
I can almost see your name in lights
What a sight, my mind is spinning like a carousel
Trevor all I need is a little taste of caramel
Well I don't know if I'm your body type
But just close your eyes, enjoy the ride
Won't you sway my waist from side to side?

I know that it would be a shame if you blow
The chance to taste the fame you want, oh
My boss would know your name

Find myself in the strangest predicament
Her intentions could be innocent
But I don't know if I should go through with this
If I do, I risk saying yes
But what if it's a test?
It's a mess
You can rest assured the fate of my success would be less
But the question is if I should tell her no
Would I blow my big break?
Would it be a mistake?
For God's sake, she gotta know
She's not my body type
And I know, what's wrong just can't be right
On the one hand you got one life
You should cut yourself some slack
You know once she's had the chocolate then she's never going back
Is she talking a big talk or is this how you play the game?
She says I got sharp potential, she can't even say my name
How many one-hit-wonders sit and wonder why we never knew of them?
You've never touched a boob in your whole life and she's got two of them
This road is full of choices, tough decisions, rough mistakes
Take the highroad or the easy street, the choice is yours to make
But I don't know if I'm your body type
I'm so close to all those simple lights
Won't you stay and lay with me tonight
Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi
I know that it would be a shame if you blow
The chance to taste the fame you want, oh
My boss would know your name
Make me say, ayy papi, ayy papi, ayy
Well I don't know if I'm your body type
But just close your eyes, enjoy the ride
Won't you sway my waist from side to side?

bold of you to assume I don't already know the lyrics
Love this song
So, I just want to say that everything about this is BOMB, especially Nicole's vocals... The message creeped me the f*k out, but I'm not counting that as a bad since I totally get what this was criticizing. Props for making such a great, repeatable track that ALSO performs amazingly as critique of the industry that _sticks with you_ after. Really took me on _that_ journey.
Damn am I happy to be bi
Casey Swirl Same
SHIP ⬆️
Riiight
Yeah but even as a pansexual person myself....this isn't right, someone in a position of power should never hold your chances over your head in exchange for sexual favors whether you could be sexually attracted to them or their gender or not...btw this song is fantastic
Casey Swirl you know I was having doubts than I watched this and I was like "nevermind"
This is one of those videos that i want to see "the making of"
This is very awkward for me to ask, but does anyone know where can I get Nicole's bra? 😂 It's hella nice.
Try Victoria secret or Fredrick's of Hollywood
This is way later, but it looks like either Agent Provocateur or a custom piece.
I was thinking the exact same thing as Ayanna so i will not repeat it.
Hazel De Leon it’s really expensive as I remember seeing it online and I think it’s from Victoria Secret
honesttt
Who's watching in 2024 because this song popped up in your head one day and it's so good you had to come back? 😊😊❤❤
Lmao it took me a year to realize that he wasnt interested because he's gay. I was internally cursing for a year wondering why tf someone wouldnt take Nicole on the spot given the chance
Kii The Dragon I don't think this was just about being homosexual but his own self worth-like should I really do this just to get a shot?
Kii The Dragon even if he did like girls he could have just not liked her like that

Yes please don't forget Australia we get left out sometimes !
country named Georgia is waiting too :*
yasss yes he do
This song is slightly dark and sad. I'm sorry if this happened to you Todrick. What a beautiful and epic way to communicate the experience
Agreed !
I got that feeling from blah off of the full visual album
All of the stuff in the album is true expect the wizard of oz theme
remindmel8r wait that happened to him? (new here lol)
someone pressuring him into sex
"once she's had the chocolate then she's never going back" Todrick all ready know😂😂😂
I cry every time he says “but I don’t know”. So heartbreaking the mess people have to endure in this industry. I just want to hug all these poor babies and destroy all the predators. 😥
Sweet comment 😢. Felt that too.
NIcole gave me chills. It still baffles me that she couldn't have a successful solo career. With the right material she could ve done a lot.
there u have it. she had really bad material. i didn't like her music at all, but she kills it in this song. also in the video, she acted well in it.
After listening to this over and over I'm just realizing papi/poppy as in wizard of oz...did everyone else know this right away or did it take you guys this long too? lol I feel stupid
Yeah and the colour scheme is red and black like the flower
Also the poppies made them sleepy and she wants to sleep with him
When i saw that dresses were covered in poppies it all came together in my head
Wow I didn't even notice them on her dress I suck
It's so well thought out its crazy

This was amazing! Why doesn't it have a billion views?! The acting was perfect. The choreography was perfect. The singing was perfect (Nicole's part was just undescribable). The song was just amazing! Todrick's got some serious song writing skills.
"Lay it all on me, you little sexy piece of cho-co-late!!" is my favorite line. She just brings it with such ...umph!!!
It took me wayyy too long to realize “Papi” is a play on the “Poppies”
I just realized because of this comment
Jesus christ
this took me a minute before yelling "O SHEIT"
totally forgot that part of the story. damnnn.... good spot!
There are a lot of references here
In Oz, Dorothy and friends are lulled to sleep by a field of Poppies - creating the reference for Todrick to 'sleep' with Nicole's character to get into the Industry
Also, Poppy seeds are used to make Opium, a potent drug - a reference to the rampant use of drugs by celebrities.
The Poppy field in Oz is a shortcut to the Emerald City - sleeping with her is a shortcut to fame
Just a few examples of Todrick's genius.
@@EmaginationStudiosOfficial me too
It just hit me that this is Todrick’s version of the flower field. Being lulled into ‘sleep’, thinking everything is okay. It’s fine, everyone is doing it. This is how you make it in this world. Doesn’t matter what you were supposed to be doing, what goals you were striving for, just ‘sleep’ and everything will be okay. Oh god. My heart.
This is genius
This correlated strongly to the Poppies in the movie the Wiz. Go watch it and you'll see.
Todrick is honestly a fucking genius. Papi = Poppy. like. fuckkk
what?
Reika She’s wearing poppies
Poppies, as in the part from Wizard of Oz. Both involve a spell being cast over "dorathy" just before they reach their goal.
No it's not = ... when u r sub u call a guy Papi ... in this song she is dominant one so she call him a poppy ... so it's not equal lol 😂
Diamonds Rfoever I know that man, I was just saying how it related to Oz
This song is my favourite from the album 😍😍
well hey Rhi :)
Hey xD
What I love about Todrick's videos is he makes sure everyone can fucking SING. All his guest stars have live-performance, Broadway-level quality. Compare it to so many pop stars who strain to find the right note without autotune. Nicole Scherzinger is such a joy to listen to!
Why is todrick so clever with these songs i like would've never thought of this like WTF?!!!
YESSS!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS FROM THE ALBUM WHO AGREES?
me! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HIM TO DO THIS SONG SO THAT I DON'T HAVE TO FAST FORWARD THROUGH THE WHOLE ALBUM.😍
+Joelle Hill OH YES ME TOO THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVES AND I ALWAYS WANNA LISTEN TO THIS SO I ALWAYS FAST FORWARD THE WHOLE VIDEO AND I ALSO LOVE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS
I can't believe Todrick was able to stay calm! If I was acting alongside Nicole Scherzinger I'd DIE
holly grassi hoying I KNOW RIGHT ❤😂
Well I mean he is you know im gonna stop
i died at 0:37. Lort have mercy on my soul!!!!!!
This song is genius. And true. And I love the fact that it is shown out of a boys perspective, lured by a female boss. The fact that it is part of Todricks biography gives me shivers. And I love this song. Still. Every bit of it. After 4 years of listening and always coming back to this masterpiece video.
"she's not my body type"
yeah we can tell don't worry.
Damn. Nicole is so underrated. she's a much better vocalist and performer than most of these female artists out there.
This man is a damn genius..the entire visual album was AH-AMAZING!!!!
wrong, it's AAAAHHHHHH-MAMAMAZINGDINGELING ;)
ShaNellC326 I agree!! I can't even think of another (or better) word to describe it. He should be mainstream, his whole team, the dedication, the music, the meaning. All of it is 100%.
this wasnt featuring nicole this was SHOWCASING nicole god damn her vocals
soooooooo...... we're gonna ignore that the end of this video left us on a GINORMOUS MF CLIFFHANGER?????
WHAT DID HE SAY???!!!! WHAT DID HE DO??!!! GODAMMIT
Frrr like my dumbass was wondering
I think I was done half way through the video uh what did I just think out loud
i lovr how uncomfortable he looks
*love
exactly, he knows lol
Honestly I think this song outlines the inner-conflict that somebody in the gay community who would be considered "passing" goes through. People who can "pass" as straight, I've noticed, are often viewed as having an easier time in society because they don't need to be open. But the video made me think that there must be a lot of internal conflict because of the fact that Todrick can pass as an attractive person to women, not only men. Todrick could have pursued his career in music fronting as a straight man and lied to himself as a sacrifice to get what he wanted, or he could be out and honest and true to himself but probably face a harder time because of today's society and how gay people are treated and seen. Nicole in the video represents people in society who control a lot behind the scenes and get to pick and choose who they put out into the media. The way she sees or rather wants Todrick to be a straight, masculine man because he is attractive and can pass as straight outlines the inner-conflict somebody might go through if they can pass as a straight person. It's definitely easier to make it if you're straight in this society but at what cost? He would not be himself if he was in the closet. Probably a lot of famous actors and musicians in the past have pretended to be straight to get where they are because they felt like they had to, or they felt safer that way.
Somebody else has also mentioned sexual misconduct and harassment in the workplace being symbolized here, which it certainly is! Nicole's character is clearly saying she's only going to promote Todrick if he sleeps with her! Which must happen a _lot_ in Hollywood, not only to young women but absolutely to young men as well.
Why am I discovering this just now?
Me too! I love Toddy and I was definitely missing out on this one!
sammee
I am wondering the same!
For real! I can't believe I've been missing out on this.
Me too
She has a great voice in this especially the high notes.
She can sing much higher than that too, she can sing opera too! Nicole is such an underated singer.
Ok but no ones talking about how hilarious it is that she thinks his name is Trevor
She also calls him Travis in the very beginning. :P
@@KattWhitewind The point they're trying to make here is the big guys in the business don't really care who you truly are as long as they get what they want or what they pay for.
Venica Wood oh shit wait- omg- trevor ur a genius
Todrick needs to make a broadway musical~
bunny he was a one of the lead roles in the musical kinky boots

Yasss

Is he chocolate or caramel? He can't be both.

+Lauren Plays LOL
She does not get enough credit . Her voice phenomenal! Her ability to go between soft and belting..:and that note at the end…..incredible.
Most underrated song. I’m still back to listen again in Oct 2019! 😱😍

@@obrian2 Mine too. And there are a lot of amazing songs in the entire production. Still bummed that this visual album was ignored by all the music awards organizations.
Ikr god I still love this song
2020
Before I saw this video I thought "No I don't like Nicole"... omg, I was so wrong. She is a goddess.
Freaking amazing work Trevor... ehm I mean Todrick 😤
Tom Littlestone whatever
symbolismmmm, she called him papi, and she wore poppies , in The wizard of oz they make people sleep, and she wants to sleep with him.... who else saw the connection
I love that you commented this omg and it was totally worth it to scroll all the way down, thank youu! I love these little tidbits
I wish Nicole would release more music with this rock influence, it suits her voice so fucking well.
I agree!! :) Any type of bombastic musical number suits her so well!
she is a million % my body type, face type, voice type and anything else she wanna be type! 😘
me too and I'm a girl
I would pay with all i own to have a singing voice like hers

Nichole Sherzinger = the original mannequin challenge
Jaida Blizard and its not a comfterble pose to be stuck in either honestly its pretty impressive
So happy she hasn’t told that the Bull is Todrick. She’s keeping it to herself thank you so much. She knows he deserves to win Masked Singer ❤️❤️.
facts
True
He 100% does. I love the Queen of Hearts, but the Bull is definitely my favorite. This season's Fox.
