Jay Sean - Down (Lisa version)

>> [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3et_XqFi_dc[/media]

Just wanted to share this guitar cover I did yesterday =)
This is a really nice song.. I heard it on the radio for the first time on Thursday, and immediately thought, "Whoa whoa.. what is this song and who sings it??" (yes. I'm shamefully behind on the current American music scene ><)
The beat and the harmonies in the original song are pretty amazing.. although I couldn't quite replicate that with guitar, I tried to do what I can ^^
I should listen to the radio more, perhaps..

Thanks so much for listening!!

i love your voice! *__* you sound so clear and smooth. the emotion and attitude comes through your voice so perfectly. there's something so sincere about your voice, and it's gorgeous to listen to.

i've never heard the original, but the lyrics are really nice. i've always loved listening to your covers, because the simple combination of acoustics and your voice is so memorable.

i hope to hear more from you soon! <3

Mmmm I really like your covers. You have evolved so much (yes pokemon biggrin.gif) since 2005/6/7 from memory, although I'm not sure which year I first heard you.

Your pitch is very stable, I like it~~And nice guitar strumming~~

5 stars. w00t. Honestly, I think I like your version better. No offense to Jay Sean, but your acoustic version has more heart to it. As an aside, if you like Jay Sean's "Down," you might like JLS's "Beat Again."

heartdrops - Thank you! =) You watched it early =D

oasis - Aww thanks! I'm relieved to hear that, because I wish I could've put a bit more attitude into it... if I could get up and dance or something XD Maybe it's harder getting really into the groove while sitting down lol (excuses excuses) *cough* but I'm really happy you like the simple acoustics ^^

visuelz - Thanks for the Awesome Award!! I'm honored biggrin.gif

sikkony - Yess evolution! haha. We're Soompi oldies ^^ Ahh, the old days and Idol were fun =) Thank you for listening!!

SailorBoy62 - Wow I just went to find Beat Again on youtube.. smooth dance moves *_* Thanks for the recommendation! And it's a big compliment from you~ thank you Jeffrey ^^

x__yekki - Thank you!! I have a Fender CD140SCE =) What's that guitar in your picture? =D

the-way-i-luv-u - Thanks so much for subscribing, Chi! I appreciate it~

chocolate-girl-chocobo - Hehe yeah ^^ I've been on Soompi way before I was on Youtube =] Thank you for listening!

ICD - Doris =D I've been listening to some of your various works lately, and I just wanna say that you've improved and grown so much!! And loving the variety you sing, from Korean to Chinese to Japanese ^^
The autotune "doooown~ doownnn~" part XD umm it made my voice tired doing that part haha. I wanna try autotune someday for fun =P
Thank you for always listening <3

Kyo Hanjin - Since you told me on Facebook to post more on Soompi, I did =P haha. Thanks so much, Michael!

wow lisa. i have not heard from you in forever. thanks for keeping in touch, jerk! jkjk
how you been? i'm glad you're still singing. this sounded really good, its nice hearing you again. your voice sounds more refined and controlled now. <3

it's kind of ironic actually, i am in the midst of remixing this song myself. i removed lil wayne's awful excuse for a verse and also jay sean's 2nd verse and filled those parts with some rap of my own. i just need to record it now.

best regards, cheers!
