what he did was to write from his heart, and create magic. he showed emotion and real feelings, and gives you the same thing, you hear that he means this. rihanna isnt even close to the same spark or magic.
To me, both songs are amazing, but they each tell a different story entirely. This one is obviously telling how a man doesn't love this girl the same way, while Rihanna's is a little more on the edge because she's dealing with another woman being in love with her. I love them both!
If u think about it, I give my props for this nice song to Stargate and James Fauntleroy that wrote and compose the song....rihanna is only a singer nothing more, she is exchangeable. Stargate is a prod. team that launched with Jay-Z the Rec Label. StarRoc. Stargate is responsable for songs like So Sick and Closer Neyo, I Am Mary J Blige, Unfaithfull Rihanna, Irreplaceable Beyonce, Beautifull Liar Sharika/Beyonce...won 2009 a Grammy for Miss Independent Neyo Keep up that good work
Can’t believe this came out before riris version!! I was always so into music and blogs back then… this just crept by me for 15 years! I can’t believe I’m hearing all these demos 15 years later 🔥🥹💔
for all of yall who is saying rihanna copied this mans song yall should really get your stories straight cuz hes a songwriter and he gave her the song to sing
2021 and pandemic ensconced but we still sound out te amo......J. Fauntleroy fellow king; this song is better than muse Rihanna you should be in the spotlight keep developing your craft.
I had not hered this song till Rhianna brought it out i Listened to hers and found it Amazing then i got told about this version and its fab Both versions Are amazing. Cant beleive i dident here this song sooner. Xx

You're right....I hate when ppl don't really write much of their songs (or none at all). That's not a reall song artist.....it's sad that ppl don't care much for TALENT in the music industry anymore....smh.
now for the people who are saying that Rhianna copied this man song yall should really get your stories straight cuz she didn't copy it he he gave it to her to her to sing he 's definitely a songwriter
she added the bit i like the most though....... Listen we can dance, but you gotta watch your hands Watch me all night, I'm movin' to the light because I understand That we all need love and I'm not afraid I feel the love, but I don't feel that way
i love rhianna and her voice but I think you would've done the song way more justice by keeping it for your own use, your voice compliments the lyrics better and you just make it sound better in everyway
I understand your point completely. But after all i aint on Rihannas version here. This is Fauntleroys and im giving him respect. :) PS. I am not listening Rihannas version, i believe this one is better. I like James voice over Rihannas. My opinion.
who the hell cares if this is a demo or the real deal or whatever you want its a good song i like it so thats why i listen not to fight over who's song it is
@hoekknight this is just a demo! rihanna and her team decided to record this and add a new verse, which i think rihanna wrote and include it in Rated R
james is the official ghost writter of the whole hollyhood
YAAAS

what he did was to write from his heart, and create magic. he showed emotion and real feelings, and gives you the same thing, you hear that he means this. rihanna isnt even close to the same spark or magic.
I am glad that Rihanna did not change the pronouns. She left the art in its original form, and I respect her for that.

Keep up that good work
i love them both. beautiful in different ways. the fact that he wrote it....that just.....wow.....

I can't breathe this song is so good
one of the best writers in music,period
2021 and I'm just realizing this for the first time. My mind is in awe. He's so good.
Glad I'm not the onlyy one 😂
2022 first time
💎 himno músical, gracias James Flaunteroy 🙌🏽🇨🇱
Thats 100% better than the version with Rihannas voice !!!
So much better than Rihanna's version !
Nunca que é.
A voz da Rihanna traz toda a força, magia , e beleza que a musica precisa.. ele tem voz fraca normal mediana pra baixo...
A Riri é a voz❤
Rihanna tras a historia.. o sofrimento o emredo que precisa pra musica se tornar consagrada❤❤❤
10 years ago me lying

Je lui ai dit non.
She cried te amo
Elle a crié Te Amo
I told her I'm not gonna run away
Je lui ai dit : Je ne m'enfuis pas.
But let me go
Mais mais laisse-moi.
My soul hears her cry,
Mon âme entends ses pleurs.
Without asking why
Sans me poser de questions,
I said te amo,
Je lui ai dit Te Amo
Wish somebody tell me what she said ?
Quelqu'un peut me dire ce qu'elle a dit ?
Don't it mean I love you
Ca ne veut pas dire je t'aime ?
Think it means I love you
Je pense que ça veut dire je t'aime.
Don't it mean I love you

But you gotta watch your hands

Watch me all night, I'm movin' to the night because I understand

that's my ringtone right there..
One Of the best songs I ever heard
this kills the rihanna version stone cold dead.
colder even...
You're right....I hate when ppl don't really write much of their songs (or none at all). That's not a reall song artist.....it's sad that ppl don't care much for TALENT in the music industry anymore....smh.
love this version too
you should make a video
;)
Ooo I like both versions
i think that they shud collaborate. THEY CUD KILL THIS SONG TOGETHA!!! THEY GONNA FREAK THIS SONG.!!! hit for rihanna cd
now for the people who are saying that Rhianna copied this man song yall should really get your stories straight cuz she didn't copy it he he gave it to her to her to sing he 's definitely a songwriter
deff. like this one bttr :)
a man singing this just makes way more sense
i love both riri's and james
although its the same song i get different emotions from both songs
Love it!
she added the bit i like the most though.......
Listen we can dance, but you gotta watch your hands
Watch me all night, I'm movin' to the light because I understand
That we all need love and I'm not afraid
I feel the love, but I don't feel that way
James F is the MANTIS ! sings it nice, rihanna killed it thou, no doubt shes the artist who he gave his song to. lol x
i love both versions but this one is better
beautiful song.
i love rhianna and her voice but I think you would've done the song way more justice by keeping it for your own use, your voice compliments the lyrics better and you just make it sound better in everyway
i like this!!!
i wish they had a ♡ button, because i would definitely press that one
The fact that I heard this version before Rihanna even came out with it
stunning
i love this version.
This one is good! I have only heard Rihannas version, but this one is really great!:D
BEST!
ich glaube die geben die hits an die stars damit wir uns dann die originalen lieder anhören^^ so wie dis hier z.b. :D
They sound identical, what are you talkin' about!
I understand your point completely. But after all i aint on Rihannas version here.
This is Fauntleroys and im giving him respect. :)
PS. I am not listening Rihannas version, i believe this one is better. I like James voice over Rihannas. My opinion.
I like his version so much more.
I like it he can sing good !
this and rihanna's versions rock!!
Sung by Rihanna, would make one go "Huh?" But by James Fauntleroy, the lyrics actually makes more sense.
@oscarmartinez72 he is a songwriter... and this song proves that the man is also a singer. great voice.
Stargate is awesome!! Produced some absolute classics. I prefer Rihanna's version better, but this is still class!
PLAY AT 1.25x SPEED🔥🔥🔥💯
which is de orginal?
both of dem are lovely
i like this version better cuz his voice is smoother
i really love this song :D
he sounds 10000x times better than rihanna. no hate.
@HumanitySector ...this is the original , he wrote the song , he did this demo for rihanna !
@lvmeszoely That's because it is a demo. This guy wrote the song. Rihanna's people picked it up.. Genius.
You're right, his version sounds better, it's just his voice and this song. Thanks!
who the hell cares if this is a demo or the real deal or whatever you want
its a good song
i like it so thats why i listen
not to fight over who's song it is
his voice is AMAZING. he sounds kinda like Seal.
amen to that. nowadays "talent" is in people who are weak minded and are puppets of record companies.
this was a demo to rihanna. she heard it, liked it then they sold it to rihanna and she put it on her album.
rihanna's version was just a demo, a soundcheck, too check & stuff. this is the original. but they both sold cuz everybody likes 1 or both versions.
i heard rihanna version this morning n i was IVE HEARD THAT B4
i thought i was going mad, but now i know im not lol :)
choon
@foxxxyhottie it's not a cover, he wrote it for her to use. this is just a demo
@hoekknight this is just a demo! rihanna and her team decided to record this and add a new verse, which i think rihanna wrote and include it in Rated R
