Jay Sean Performs 'Down' Live Acoustic Billboard Studio Session

[@cherishedvalor]

You know how you know when someone is truly talented? WHEN THEY SOUND THE SAME LIVE AS THEY DO ON THEIR ALBUMS. He is a great singer. That is not debatable. What you have to keep in mind is that he's performing in this video, not recording. He is not singing into HD recording equipment w/playback, while standing still. Obviously his breathing is going to be a little different. But he breathes properly, and he's in key, proper pitch. Leave the guy alone if you have no idea what you're talking about.

[@littledipper8608]

I agree he's vocally talented. And you're right, for the most part he stays in key. He doesn't sound the same as he does on the record though, he sounds much more nasally in this performance and you can tell that his voice is beginning to get tired and strained near the end. Not a bad performance at all tho

[@Sheckler_35]

you're right bro!!

[@wass006]

Agree with you G Abuse

[@kellenivanuck1447]

HD Recording equipment? You have no clue what you are talking about.

[@kellenivanuck1447]

He’s also a little pitchy.

He got married. Marriage kills everything.

[@saeedsenpai5530]

he still does songs

[@Phoen1xChan]

You know whats funny? He got married the same year this song was released, what happened was legal issues with albums, issues on Cash Money, and such things. He still does songs, but couldn't release most of them because of previous mentioned legal issues.

Hi comment from 9 years ago.

[@dimig5403]

i have seen him live in germany and he is very good . i don´t understand people who dislike him here. if you don´t like him why search about him and comment that you don´t like him? its paradox.

[@gracegracegrace12]

Wow this song brings back memories

[@SuperBetagreen]

Thats true!!

[@lpchegadesaudade]

Perfect version...I loved it ! Jay Sean has a good voice... I want him to come to Brazil!

This dude got HOT vocals and (no matter what all you other haters say) is a step up from most hip hop/ rap standards today. He even sang Lil Wayne's part while keeping in tune bravo

And on guitar today, the love child of Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey rippin' it up.

Jay Sean is a good singer.. I love this video. But the man who is playing the quitar is emotional. To my mind he is a bit nervous.

[@SilentEcho87]

Both Jay Sean and Bruno Mars are amazing artists. At least they're not one in the same. They're different in their styles. They rule in their separate categories.
