[@yamaguchiyo]

i didn't know that he was british at first because of he didn't have the accent on his "down" song.

[@jontaylor1986]

[@speeddddrt]

he seems like a really friendly guy....

[@simruls]

may i ask how do u no this? plus who wrote the song then?

[@BengalG3]

1.3 Billion with most of them with no opportunity. But Indians in out of America are growing fast. CEO of Pepsi-Indian,CEO adobe-Indian,etc,etc

[@spikymoron]

a Indian dude finally with a number 1, about time too... with what, 1.3 Billion people!

[@trinikid2k2]

hes not just the pride of indians, but all south asians and people of south asian decent; yes finally ... finally we see an indian who is not apoo from the simpsons on american tv ...

[@chays_84]

for some reason he reminds me of Craig David...not cuz of the accent...but just how he looks and the sound of his voice when he sings that's all.

[@adityaharna]

he is british indian.....he sings lotta punjabi songs....! he does have a british indian accent...! its kinda different!

[@business555]

this guy has a good head on his shoulders... unlike wayne. "i'm a gangster miss katie.." what the hell is that? check out that wayne interview he said he does not want his fans looking up to him, he smikes weed, basically sounding like he wants everyone to know the bad stuff about him.

[@tayba1316]

he is but hes frm the uk thats y he has an accent

[@zieziegrey]

@FariaSean1 Just because he was born and raised in England doesn't make him any less Indian.

[@sweetayesha01]

cool

[@popoboum]

@sidharthchaman Wikipedia : Birth name Kamaljit Singh Jhooti Also known as Jay Sean Born 26 March 1981 (age 30)Harlesden, Brent, London, England Go check by urself ! You said he was born & brought up in india. I am telling u he was born & brought up in ENGLAND (as it is written in wikipedia as well) and his parents are from old INDIA, ACTUAL PAKISTAN. Get my point ? =) and anyway did u really think that indians FROM INDIA have such an accent in english ? hahahahah

[@scremanie]

most people do...

[@asjmssjcab]

thanks for the props to Indians ^^

[@xxAquaagirlxx]

Can't mention that, sorry.

[@MimzAngie]

That accent makes him hotter ^^ hope i spelled tht right

[@sabbie7]

the guitar play almost lost it at 3:43

[@Ssj.a]

if jay was singin' the lil wayne verse it will be much better

[@xxAquaagirlxx]

i was a fan, but i dont like the fact that he's taking the credit for writing it but i guess thats how it is in the music business

[@sophiasan]

he grew up in England.

[@1234567loading]

@supastar117 thats West London accent lol

[@tsasasvsis]

who?

[@kobenbagreat]

how isn't he his parents are indian and he speaks punjabi?

[@DizzyWee]

He's born in Britain, but his origin is from Punjab.

[@zafis2cool4u]

Lol Have You Lot Heard Baby Are You Brown Brown Brown By MC Raa ( Adil Ray From Asian Network) He Is Hilarious lol...!

[@medgeek9]

HAMANA HAMANA HAMANA...notice how i can't speak until now

[@popoboum]

@sidharthchaman What RUBBISH ! would you people just STOP spreading fake informations about him? He was NOT born & brought up in India, he was born in London so he is BRITISH (thats why he has a british accent for all those who were wondering) and he always says that he is of Indian origin because his parents are from Punjab, Pakistan, but they left & went to England, before the partition. And does it really matter ? we're here to listen to his music, not to discuss about his origins !! x

[@msraymond]

i thought he was latino at first. but he so damn hot!

[@midknightmiddleman5887]

Would you look at that. I’m the first comment since 9 years

[@sidharthchaman]

@Alinescafe08 he is definitely not pakistani man I somehow know him personally through my immediate family friends there is alot of difference between pakistani and an indian guy if u still wanna confirm go to wikipedia he is born and brought up in india the amount of shows he does here is not funny man but still, thanks

[@moogle000]

@etnies3721 LOL! xD

[@johnhoy6175]

[@smengi94]

[@chocolat80]

I really dont think so, but hey thats my opinion

[@fuchsiachapstick]

[@ajdo1991]

[@zieziegrey]

@youngenb123 A man plucking his eyebrows is a sin against humanity. Also, I think a lot of Indian men have...somewhat thicker eyebrows. My fiance and all of my friends, who are actually Indian and live in India, have thicker eyebrows.

[@OogieBoogiePidge]

how the hell is he british he sounds nothing like british in his songs

[@Andre.06.07]

wow ok calm down. better than usher. k that just sounds stupid right off the back. hes nt better than chris brown or ne yo either. vocally hes not that great. presentation wise he seems like a nice guy. he does seem smart which is a plus. but u clearly r stating that hes better than usher and cb and ne yo just cuz ur a fan. im a fan of jay sean and i wouldnt be ignorant enough to say that hes better than those guys. USHER hell no. chris brown nope. etc,etc.

[@JordyTT]

@youngenb123 aha random or what

[@GabiNumNumsCon]
